Okay well to start this off i love this site and look at it all the time for iPod news and stuff, but finally decided to register when i found out this news

First go here and download quickpwn:here

Second go here and download the 2.2 fw pack:here

follow the steps and your good to go!!!

here is a vid if you dont believe me and it has comments

btw this is not mine i got it from here i will post up pics when i get done jailbreaking my 2g
 
Do not download and install anything on your Mac or iPod Touch from an unknown source and a forum newcomer unless this is verified.
 
Is it just me or did anyone else notice that quickpwn's website says that the jailbreak for 2.2 has been out since 11/22? Did this slip by everyone on MR or did I just miss something?

EDIT-nevermind, after further reading on the website it says the current jailbreak for 2.2 works on everything but 2nd Gen iPod Touch.
 
If this jailbreak works (and I'm not willing to be the guinea pig here!), does that mean I could load hundreds of apps I got (most free) from the App Store onto my touch and manage them in the ways one should expect from a PDA (categorizing or putting them into folders, sorting, etc.)?

Yes you can, I believe the jailbroken app that helps out for that is called Categories. It will make folders and you can add whatever you want in those folders.
 
What's the worse that could happen trying this? I have a new, not used 2nd gen I don't use cause I can't jailbreak it. I'll be the guinea pig.
 
Hope the is true.
I'm not going to be one of the first people to download this.
For the people that are, let us know how it goes.

Well, you could end up installing a trojan on your computer and your bank account could get emptied...
 
im downloading and having a look now, will post with outcome.

EDIT: Can't download it, seems depositfiles is a dud to me. If someone can upload it, i'll hex it.

The 'quickpwn website' is just some dude that got lucky and purchased that domain(and is making money off the name). . .nothing more. . .nothing less.

All he does is regurgitate information for people dumb enough to type in quickpwn.com to look for a jailbreak.
 
watch the youtube video? all the video is is a bunch of text there was no proof of concept, if you have a 2nd gen iPod touch DO NOT download this it will not work, the whole purpose of quickpwn is to take advantage of a hardware exploit in the 1st gen ipod touch which the newer iPod DOESN'T have.

as already said if you download the files you could open your pc to a trojan and enable a hacker to monitor and access your pc
 
It looks true though i mean look at all the comments on the vid

How hard is it for this guy to have like 3 accs on YouTube and post 3 comments. Also he could just make his friends comment aswell.

If it is true then good find but PLEASE i urge you to just wait and get something official, or your touch is at risk.
