Is Jailbreaking your Ipod Touch Safe ?

[SaintSmithy]

Do you lose any of your music, videos or apps ? some of them i payed for and i dont really want them to be deleted and is it worth jailbreaking it ?

[Wolverhampton]

Nothing will get deleted if you jailbreak it, all your stuff will still be on your iPod, and btw if you do jailbreak you void your warranty, and some consider it illegal. (so says Apple)

Download QuickPwn from here, best application to jailbreak your iPhone/iPod touch, doesn't use any customer firmwares ect:
http://www.zshare.net/download/51721230fe4b9459/

Alternatively you can get the link from here:
http://www.quickpwn.com/downloads

Then by clicking "download QuickPwn for Windows"

Hope I've helped!

[SaintSmithy]

Thnx for that i think im gunna give it a go :)

[Wolverhampton]

It's pretty easy and self explanatory, and the program does most of it for you.

[SaintSmithy]

So should i use the Zshare 1 ?

[Wolverhampton]

Yeah, the zshare one is just the link off the QuickPwn website lol.

[SaintSmithy]

Somethings come up with ISPW name

What do i do here ?

Download which ever firmware you are on. I'm assuming that you are on a 2nd gen iPod Touch with 2.2.1 firmware, so I would download the one called 2.2.1 (2G): iPod2,1_2.2.1_5H11a_Restore.ipsw - but as I said, depends which firmware you are on.

when you've downloaded the correct firmware, just click "browse" in QuickPwn and locate the .ipsw file that you downloaded. (.ipsw = firmware)

[SaintSmithy]

downloaded the firmware trying to locate it but i cant even find it

[Wolverhampton]

Should have saved it to your desktop... :/

[SaintSmithy]

Nope not on my desktop lol

[Wolverhampton]

Re-download it and save it to your desktop.

No it doesn't remove everything rofl, you are deluded.

Also yes, that link above is good. But please, pay no attention to "tawm"

Excuse me? Do your research whoever you are, Jailbreaking completely restores the OS to the default factory 2.2.1 settings with the modifications for the jailbreak. Thanks for the -rep by the way that'll be removed.

The image is a complete device restore now stop thinking your so ******* big.

I have just asked around a few iPod Touch users, they all say it removes them.

And by the way, names should be capitilized and not quoted.

[Flisker]

It does actually... As it's doing the same as a restore because it's installing custom firmware which therefore restores your iPod to factory settings and deletes all the apps and music from the iPod until you sync your ipod again.

Tawm is right.

[xxMATTGxx]

I'm sorry but it does remove your songs and whatever else you have on there. Because its basically like restoring it.

[Wolverhampton]

When ever I jailbreak mine (I do it every month or so to keep my phone fresh) and all my music and video's stay on their. It's the same when I do it for other people too? :S

[SaintSmithy]

Could someone please make a safe and easy guide for me please id be veryy greatful because im getting kinda frustrated with what programme to use and stuff

[Wolverhampton]

Sorry yeah forgot to say I do actually backup my phone before I do it, would explain why all the Apps and stuff are still on lmao.

How can you get frustrated when it's the most simplest program, ever? :/

It's the easiest way to jailbreak rofl, if you can't use that give up now.

[SaintSmithy]

Tryed the quickfreedom way now im getting a pop up has something to do with smartsound quicktrack plugin havnt got a clue what that is

[Wolverhampton]

Use QuickPwn....... it's a simple as anything your gonna' get for jailbreaking.

[eight]

yeah, should be safe.
I jailbroke mine still works perfect.

[Trinity]

Yeah, I'm just gonna jump in here.
I used to recommend QuickFreedom, but I tried redsn0w 0.3 a couple of days ago and imo it completely defeats QF.
It also didn't delete anything at all from the ipod.

[SaintSmithy]

I want to use Quickpwn its looks fairly simple but as stated on other posts they say ill lose everything like my music and apps an i really dont want to lose them

[SaintSmithy]

Using the quickfreedom when the box comes up it says copy error! near the bottom an when i try an install LIBUSB its not ticking green just staying in a red cross anyone help me with this ?

[Wolverhampton]

use quickpwn, as stated above, you don't lose anything, as I said before, before everyone jumped on my back, when I was actually correct.

ME 4 THE WIN!

My videos and music didn't get deleted when I JB'ed it? Or are you talking about the PwnageTool method?

[Wolverhampton]

PwnageTool method would delete everything cause it creates a custom jailbroken .ipsw that you RESTORE through iTunes, thus losing all your stuff.

But yes, QuickPwn doesn't delete anything on your iPod Touch/iPhone if done correctly.

yes, im aware of that :)

[SaintSmithy]

Well im not the best at computers and this has bin the most frustrating thing ive ever done ive wrecked my itunes everything on my ipod has gone so im gunna ave to sync everything on again and still havnt jailbreaked it becuase of some stupid white screen wudnt show ive decided to give up try again another time

[Mentor]

If you do jailbreak it, dont hang around geeks with bluetooth on as the root passward defaults to the same.
Generally you'll just gain some additional photos, or find some have some extra bits you dont remember / random shutdowns. But they could do alot of damage with it (delete all your music kinda stuff) so make sure u change the pw if you do. I assume theres guide how online somewhere. Aint got an iphone so aint delt with that side before, just with command line pranks :p

When you try again, use http://redsn0w.com
It'll be done within minutes at the most, with nothing lost.

[SaintSmithy]

Suppose ill give it a try :)

[GoldenMerc]

what does jailbreaking do to it?

[SaintSmithy]

U can get things free like apps and themes :)

[Wolverhampton]

u get all appstore apps free when you download installous via cydia.

[Trinity]

u get all appstore apps free when you download installous via cydia.

Not all but you get large percentage. Themes are good too, there's quite a few decent themes floating around.

[omgDAN!]

u get all appstore apps free when you download installous via cydia.

You'll need to have http://cydia.hackulo.us added to the sources list in Cydia before it will come up. Go to Cydia on your phone, then manage, then sources, then edit (top right), then add (top left) and put the URL of the hackulous repo in.

:)

[Wolverhampton]

cydia should come preloaded with the hackulous source now.

[Wolverhampton]

Wow my post now gets removed for proving people wrong.

ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WERE LIKE "OMG YOU LIER YOU DO LOSE ALL YOUR STUFF WHEN U JAILBREAK CAUSE I KNOW EVERYTHING"

Hows your jailbroken iPod Touch going buddy? :)

Edited by Flisker (Forum Moderator): Please do not post to cause arguments.

[SaintSmithy]

Its going great thnx :) thought there would be alot better game apps on cydia but yerr well worth doing :)

[Wolverhampton]

Theres a few games, NES emulator, PSX emulator, Macman.

It's mainly used for other things that you can't really do with an iPod though.

[Trinity]

Its going great thnx :) thought there would be alot better game apps on cydia but yerr well worth doing :)

Have you installed Installous?

[SaintSmithy]

Whats Installous ? i have Installer if thats what you mean ?

[Trinity]

Whats Installous ? i have Installer if thats what you mean ?

Nope, I mean Installous. Add the Hackulous repo to cydia (http://hackulo.us/idiotsguide/viewarticle.php?a=addhackulous) then install Installous to download cracked app store apps.

[SaintSmithy]

What can u get with this and is it worth doing ?

[Trinity]

What can u get with this and is it worth doing ?

Cracked app store apps (from http://appulo.us/appdb/), and it's definitely worth doing in my opinion, but I'd still advise you to pay for the apps that you enjoy most :)

[SaintSmithy]

Can it break ur Ipod or anything ? im very cautious :P i think ill give it a go looks like theres some good games :)

[Wolverhampton]

no you cannot break your iPod, software wise anyway. Suppose there is like a 0.01% chance though, cause you never know. :P

[SaintSmithy]

Lmao okay ill give it a go

[SaintSmithy]

ive downloaded it an im on Appulous and i want to download something its says its $.99 do i have to pay or is it there for show lol ?

[Wolverhampton]

scroll down and click one of the download links...

[SaintSmithy]

thanks :D

[Wolverhampton]

good yes?

[SaintSmithy]

Veryy Good Thanks :D

[Wolverhampton]

Told you it would be worth it mate. :)

[William93]

I lost all my music and stuff when I jailbreaked :( :(

[Wolverhampton]

You shouldn't have. Seems a few people do and a few people don't. :O

[SaintSmithy]

Eveything on my Ipod went but i just synced it all back on... well worth jailbreaking :D

[Wolverhampton]

Indeed it is well worth jailbreaking.

[Trinity]

You shouldn't have. Seems a few people do and a few people don't. :O

It depends which method you use to jailbreak it.
