Hi,
Does anyone here have an Ipod touch who has jailbroken it and installed apps/games etc?
Was just wondering if maybe I could add you to msn or something and you help me out 1 night with a few questions I may have.
Thanks

Cheers for that mate, not sure I'll be doing it in dos, think I'll follow this method here:
http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92404
1) Download or find yourself a copy of the 2.0.2 firmware (See step 2 of first guide)
* iPod Touch File Name: iPod1,1_2.0.2_5C1_Restore.ipsw
* iPhone 2G: iPhone1,1_2.0.2_5C1_Restore.ipsw
* iPhone 3G: iPhone1,2_2.0.2_5C1_Restore.ipsw
2) Make sure you are on a clean 2.0.2 firmware. YOU NEED TO BE ON 2.0.2 TO USE THIS TUTORIAL. IT WILL NOT UPGRADE FOR YOU. YOU CANNOT USE THIS TUTORIAL FROM 1.1.1/2/3/4. You do not need to restore before this if you don't want to lose music, contacts, etc, but it is recommended.
3) Extract the contents of both of the .zip's above to a folder on your Desktop
4) Put the 2.0.2 firmware file into the folder you extracted the .zip to
5) Plug your iPod in, but close iTunes when it pops up
6) For safety, open the task manager and close all processes that contain the words "Apple", "iTunes", or "iPod"
7) Run the QuickPwnGUI120.exe
That's the beginning bit of the tutorial, does that look right to you mate?
Just I'm not sure about this downgrading malarkey first of all, if I get stuck at any time mate, recon I could PM you or something?
Thanks

I can only help you if you're on <1.1.5
I sold my touch after that so I cant be of help, although I think you can use WinPWN |

iPhone and iTouch play MP4 and you can get them onto your device using itunes
you haven't said what format your videos are in but quicktime can convert some formats. I also use DVD Catalyst which is not too expensive and does a perfect job

thank you very much Masseur,
Im sure they are MP4, actually they may be MPG, will have a look when i get home..... but i-tunes finds them on my hard drive, i check the selected songs in i-tunes and sync the music videos..... when when i look on my i-touch after disconneting I cant find them.... am I doing something wrong or is it just possibly the wrong format?
cheers

they're actually H.264 in an MP4 wrapper
sounds like you're doing the right thing. Once added to itunes, my videos appear in the movies section of itunes and I go into the video tab of the sync options and tick "sync movies" and then click each movie I want synched.

Ye I think you have to install Winpwn 2.0.1
And then revert the firmware of the touch to:
iPod1,1_2.0.2_5C1_Restore.ipsw
When doing it, select to install Cydian and Installer4 (i think)
The advantage to having a jailbroken Ipod is that you can install tones of games, apps etc for free, can also install emulators, access the ipod through SSH.
But like I said, this is only what I've read, I'm not 100% sure what to do or how to do it, was hoping someone here had a bit of experience and could tell me exactly what to do lol.

cheers Masseur, they were all MPG's hence why they didnt work, but sony Viao has a neat little covertion tool, all done now and all converted to MP4
