Welcome to APac iPod Touch Discussion Thread!.

A few members asking me on how to JAILBREAK, MODIFY, PIMP, etc. their iPod Touch devices,
so maybe its time to share what i know about it. Since theirs a lot of good stuff on the latest firmware (4.1) and its already supported by the "greenpoins0n" application because 4.2 is not supported yet, its the firmware i used on my iPod Touch 3G. So lets Begin....

THREAD CONTENTS

  1. Identifying your iPod Touch
  2. iOS 4.1 information
  3. Updating firmware to 4.1
      Automatically
      Manually
  4. Jailbreaking
  5. Must have on your iDevice
  6. Theming iPod Touch (soon)
  7. Replacing Default Font (soon)



A.) Identifying your current version and model

Basically go to Settings > General > About

If you can see mine is already version 4.1 and an MC model. If yours is not yet the latest firmware, update it using iTunes 10..




B.) iOS 4.1 information
Game Center
Experience social gaming on your iPod touch. Find friends or use auto-match to play multiplayer games against new opponents. Track achievements and compare high scores.

iTunes TV show rentals
Rent TV shows commercial-free right from your iPod touch for just 99¢ an episode and start watching them in minutes.

iTunes Ping
Take advantage of new social discovery features in iTunes. Keep up with your friends’ music and follow your favorite artists.



The iOS 4.1 Software Update also includes these features from iOS 4.

Multitasking
Run your favorite third-party apps and switch between them instantly.

Folders
Organize apps into folders with drag-and-drop simplicity.

Create playlists
Create and edit custom playlists right on your iPod touch, and sync and display nested playlist folders from iTunes.

iBooks
It’s a great ebook reader and an amazing place to browse and shop for books.

Even better Mail

Home screen wallpaper
Change the background wallpaper on your Home screen.

Gift apps
Give your friends apps from the App Store.

Safari
Display search suggestions from Google, Yahoo!, or Bing and view recent searches.

Bluetooth Keyboard Support
Pair a keyboard with Bluetooth wireless technology.

Faces and Places in Photos
View photos based on who’s in them and where they were taken.

Spell checking
A built-in dictionary suggests words and corrects spelling. It works in Mail, Notes, and other apps.

Wi-Fi
iPod touch can stay connected to Wi-Fi when asleep so you can receive incoming VoIP calls and notifications from compatible third-party apps.




C.) Updating Firmware to 4.1
Upon updating, all iPod touch content will be deleted since it will install new firmware on your iDevice.

Automatically
This is good for at home computers that has an stable internet connection much better if you use DSL.

1. Download iTunes 10 from here.
2. Plug in or connect your iPod Touch 3G/4G to your computer, after connecting iTunes will automatically open if not open the application manually.
4. Wait for the update message to pop up and choose "Download and Install", if not just press the Check for Update and it will automatically update your iOS to 4.1. It takes a long time to download the firmware its about 379MB so be patient specially if your internet connection speed sucks .


Manually
This is good for those people who doesn't have good connection at home like broadband kits or unstable connection because you will download the firmware not from iTunes.
TIP: Download them on computer shop that has high speed internet connection and save it to your flash disk or memory stick.

1. Download iTunes from the given link (above).
2. Download the iOS 4.1 firmware for your iPod Touch 3G/4G from here.
3. Plug in or connect your iPod Touch 3G/4G to your computer, after connecting iTunes will automatically open if not open the application manually.
4. Choose your iPod Touch 3G/4G from the list on the left.


5. By pressing the Shift key(in Windows) or the option key(in Mac OS X), click on the Restore button.
6. Now browse and choose the iOS 4.1 firmware .ipsw file.


Thats it now itunes will update your iPod Touch to 4.1 iOS.. The First part is done good job..




D.) Jailbreaking

Here comes the do it at your own risk part I am not liable to what ever happens to your device since I'm just sharing what i have done on my device too. But don't worry I bring solutions not problems just follow the steps correctly and all will gonna be just FINE.

NOTE: Before proceeding make sure that your iPod Touch is running stock 4.1 firmware . (what we have done above)

1. Download Greenpois0n here. (mac/linux/windows)
2. Open Greenpois0n application and turn off your device.
3. Click on “Prepare for Jailbreak (DFU)”, this application will help you how.


4. Press and Hold Sleep Button for two seconds


5. While holding sleep; press and hold home for ten seconds.


6. Release sleep button; continue holding home for fifteen seconds.


7.Your device is now ready to be jailbroken. click "Jailbreak".
8. Wait till it flash saying "Jailbreak Complete".
9. Finally "Loader App" will appear on your home screen, use it to install "cydia" (must have wifi connection) after installing you can delete ot remove the installer.

CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE NOW SUCCESSFULLY JAILBROKEN YOUR iPod Touch
now you are ready to PIMP things up on your iDevice.




E.) Must have on your iDevice
This are the list of useful applications that must be installed in your iDevice.

quick question. I think I got the 2G, will the jailbreak work without updating to the latest firmware? I already jailbreak it before with blackra1n, although I restore it back to the regular iTouch because 8GB doesn't provide much space left after jailbreaking.

@bulakaki if you have iPod Touch 2G what model is it?? MB or MC? and what version?


edited:

bulakaki greenpois0n RC4 supports ipod touch 2g/3g MC or MB model, but its better to upgrade it to 4.1 iOS.. This tutorial will work but if you have different version i dont think so.
