iPod touch Sucessfully Hacked Ipod Touch

Based on that walkthrough, you can't install Mail and Calendar in the same iPT since they requiere different firmwares, right?
I got them both from the iphone 1.1.1 and they both worked.
Ok one more quick question...and I really appreciate all the work that's being/been done here!
Is anyone else's Mail.app crashing whenever it opens? I copied it (from 1.1.1) as well as the preference bundle, and did the chmod on the app.
MobileMail.app crashes on open, and so does the Settings when I try to save an account.

I can't get the iPhone apps to work :S They load, then freeze...
Also, where are all the community sources for Installer? I want to install some ddr, well ttr

Community sources in installer.app as a package. Also to solve your freeze problem you need to ssh to the ipod and type " chmod -Rf +x /Applications/ "
I'm so tempted to try!
You guys seem to be having some pretty good success.
So what are the chances of not being able to revert to pre-hacked states if everything goes to hell and Apple blocks the hack (probably 90% chance they block it)
It's SO tempting to have my mail on the iPod - yes I can do it through webmail, but I can also do webmail on my Mac yet I choose to use T-Bird.
While I'm on that subject, if I use "Mail" on iPod to handle my email account, is there a way to still get the emails via T-Bird on my mac? or can I sync emails from iPod to the mac afterward? Probably I'd have to tell ipod not to remove emails off the server so then my mac can grab them?
If it's possible to have my cake and eat it too, would it require me to switch from T-Bird to Mail on my Mac? Mail didn't want to cooperate with me at all on my macbook which is why i've been happily using T-Bird.
Are there any really good apps that are worth hacking for?
I can get google maps to run on Safari, but very slowly when i'm looking at satelite maps. What's it like with the Maps app? how is mail?
Stupid apple - why can't we have these apps without having to hack them grrr

Looks like there is no real difficulties to revert to a non-hacked state. Check this thread:

You know, the guys at Apple are anything BUT stupid
They KNEW (just as WE did) nothing can be (easily) fully locked. So what better BUZZ than all the fuss we are making about cracking the IPT

I wonder to what extent Apple is stupid... or not

Cool. Not sure if I'll try this quite yet, I'll wait and see what v1.1.2 does in the coming days.
I'll be able to build a new house made of touches.

Has anyone managed to find out how to rearrange the icon on the springboard as yet?
Need some help, please
Hey guys,
In the instructions, when it says 'reboot', do they mean turn off (slide to power off) or hold down sleep and home for 10 secs to force restart?
Can someone who has successfully installed help me?
Thanks heaps in advance!

I'm sure hackers will find a way...heck, even with the fourth major iteration of OSX, people are still putting it on generic PCs...
You know, I woke up this morning with the intention of hacking my Touch, but now I don't think I will.
To be honest, while the Dev Team deserves TONS of props for what they have accomplished, THEY aren't the hackers that I fear. There are much less scrupulous people out there who would love nothing better than to use this vulnerability to their advantage for malicious purposes.
Maybe you'll all say I'm just buying into Apple's bogus argument, but I don't think anyone will argue with the fact that this is in fact a HUGE security vulnerability. Granted, people have known about this problem for a long time, and granted, nobody has done anything malicious using this weakness - YET.
On top of risking your iPod, since iPod is so closely associated with iTunes and hence your MacBook, is it not possible for any malware (ie potential future iPhone / iPod virus) to jump from your phone/pod to your mac?
I realize "there are no mac viruses" blah blah blah. That's not to say there will never be any.
I was listening to the CNET podcast a few days ago and they were talking about the fact that LINUX boxes are the new target for people looking to root-kit servers. Why? because the Linux boxes run forever, and don't break down. It's always nice to have healthy, verile zombies than clunky, often-sick windows ones. What I'm saying is that macs are also very reliable, and perhaps they will become a target.
If you were malicious and you could spread your malware through both iPods and macs at the same time, wouldn't you invest some time into this?
So, the bottom line is, isn't it a better idea to get the new firmware when it comes out (knowing that it will patch the TIFF flaw) than to have a hacked iPod that's capable of playing pong / whatever, but might be a pretty big security risk?
sorry for the long / slightly off-topic post in an otherwise very cool thread

nothing about jailbreak on the apple ipod touch forum

Hacking your ipod does not make it more succeptible to this vulnerabilty. The only way that it will be fixed is with a new mobile safari release.

do the slide to power off.
Mine works perfect (well, except for mail and maps). Got it at like 3am earlier today then went to school for 7:45am. I won't lie, it's pretty sweet.
