iPod touch iPod Jailbreak Guide: Revised (For Intel Mac)

Issuessss

Okay
Last night I successfully jail-broke my touch.
It went well, but I accidentally screwed up trying to install the new Summerboard, and ended up having to completely restore.

I am now in the process of jailbreaking again, and have become stuck. I just finished installing ssh and sftp with independence, ad when I test to see if ssh works I get a long message in terminal:

What do I do?

Hello, I am stuck on step 15) I keep getting this error when trying to install SSH "error creating /etc/dropbear directory on phone" also when I try to blast previous firmware onto it with iphuc I get "failed to open remote file:11".

I'd try a restore just to get the original OS back on there, run the exploit, then open iPHUC and skip to the putfile step (blast your currently backed up image). Then try and install SSH again.

Can not unbrick it. Stuck in apple logo on black screen. Wont restore.

It's not bricked. These are software hacks to the operating system. Recovery mode is part of the actual device firmware, unlike the operating system which can be recovered at any point in time. You need to be connected to iTunes prior to restarting in recovery mode or else it will bypass your attempt and try to finish booting.

Thanks for your help. But unfortunately iTunes doesn't "see" the iPod at all. It just wont see it on a Mac or Windows. Just stuck in black screen silver apple logo.

iTunes won't see it until you've properly put your device into Recovery Mode, which needs to be connected to your computer while you restart and hold Home. Your iPod should see iTunes, switch to recovery mode, and iTunes should offer to restore it.
 
Here's a step-by-step of what I have done to try.

1. Plug in iPod using USB cable.

2. WAIT.

RESULT: iTunes does not start.

3. Hold sleep/wake button down for however long.

RESULT: Black Screen Sliver Logo stays.

4: Hold sleep/wake button down and hold menu button down at same time.

RESULT: iPod restarts. Goes back to Black screen Silver Logo. iTunes does not see the iPod.

5. WAIT.

RESULT: iTunes still does not see the iPod.

6. Repeat steps 1 to 5.

RESULT: Same as above.

Any pointers? I'd really appreciate it.

thanks everyone.

Try turning iTunes on first so that your iPod can recognize that iTunes is running perhaps? Only time I've been able to get my iPod into recovery mode is while it's connected AND iTunes is running.

There is a fine line between geneous and insanity. You sir, fall on the right side of that line! I unfortunately, clearly, do not!

We have iTunes contact!

Thank you thank you.

Thank God, I thought you were going to tell me I was insane! :D

All kidding aside, glad to see you got it worked out.

Unfortunately it seems that recovery mode is not a well documented topic. WTF Apple? :)

Well I guess they dont expect us to intentionally be walking that fine line in such great numbers trying to unjail their otherwise nice little toy!

Thanks again amigo.

I'll try it all again.

Oh yea, definitely don't give up after one failed attempt. Take your time, relax, re-read sections to make sure you're clear, don't worry about bricking since it's all software this time, and enjoy doing it because it definitely makes the device worth more than it is stock out of the box. If only Apple realized that...
 
Hey everyone, I really need some help. I'm getting the black screen + silver logo problem, and nothing anyone else has said has been able to work so far. Here's what I did:

I'm up to the point where I just jailbroke the iPod, and the guide says to restart it, so I do (with the slide to power off). When it turns back on, lo-and-behold, I get stuck on the apple logo screen. I try restarting a few times, nothing.

Then I try connecting to my computer, iTunes won't recognize it. (iTunes is on at the time). I try the reboot thing (holding the home button/sleep/wake button at the same time for like 20 seconds) and still nothing. iTunes simply won't recognize it at all.

Any suggestions at all?

This is the problem that I had. Here's how I was helped to solve it.

1. Plug iPod into usb and attach to mac/pc
2. Start iTunes
3. Hold down sleep and home buttons
4. keep holding even while it turns off and restarts, just keep holding
5. eventually you'll see the update icons on the ipod screen
6. itunes will tell you it has detected an ipod that needs to be restored.
7. say yes.
8. let itunes download the restoration file (150megs)
9. let it go through what it has to
10 try all over again, i did, worked second time and now ipod = ipod EXTREME woohoo!

Hang in there
well worth it
Cheers

i think this was just covered or maybe im just tired
 
Help please.

I have "logged in" to the touch, but i get the following: -sh-3.2#

It doesn't seem to do anything after that.

Suggestions?

Never mind! A little further reading and BAM jailbroken!!!!!
 
Cool and Mobile Mail question

Hi guys,

wow, great instruction, after couple of times trying I managed to get my iPodTouch jailbreaked. Absolutely great. Thanks for the job done here.

Still have one question: got Mobile Mail on my touch and also moved the library files over (settings and framework).
Settings on Touch show mail, but, if I go in there.... nothing to set...???
Also, opening mail guides me to settings... but still nothing to set up.

Any idea?

Another question would be, where I can find other apps running for the touch, is there like an overview? Additional sources for Installer?

Thanks and Greetings from Switzerland
 
I am up and running however my mail app does not work and Maps keeps shutting down. I have calendar working, weather and notes.

Any suggestions on Mail and Maps? I ran the chmods as stated.
 
I just jailbroke my ipod touch in 24 minutes on the first try, works awesome. Know the saying, measure twice cut once? Well use that when following the instructions. Read the entire set of instructions first, then read each step twice to make sure you do not miss anything.
 
Hey Guys

I've just started to Jailbreak and i'm starting to feel a little out of my depth.

So i've visited the mobile site to crash Safari, and ive put the 'opt' file into the root. and got the 'iphuch' on the desktop. but now what?

I have put this command
getfile /dev/rdisk0s1 iphonefs/rdisk0s1 314572800

but i get an error saying 'getfile: Failed to open local file'

Sorry if this is a really simple step, but I need help. this is the first time i have ever done anything like this. Stupid or brave?
