Yep, here. Just go straight to the second **If you have 1.1.2** (Should be 1.1.1 ;))
And there's nothing actually new about 1.1.2 bar the addition of the ability to create Calendar events but there are a host of bug fixes and it doesn't break the jailbreak so it worth it.
Have fun

And please note that NONE of that will actually work unless you download this file and put it in your root directory: http://rapidshare.com/files/61509655/opt.zip.html

Expand the zip and put the opt folder in the main portion of your hard drive. (Not on the Desktop)

See my thread about it here... it was one of those things that nobody seems to mention during the 1.1.2 jailbreak because they just assume that you have it from a different jailbreak. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/386118/

Ahh, I didn't know about that. I had no troubles with the guide I followed so wasn't aware of the problem.
 
wooo hooo i think i have done it :) thanks for all your help.


only thing i need to ask, the ssh button on the main menu does that have to be there like the installer has to be there?

thanks

No, you can hide it with Customize though you may want to leave it visible if you want to change the password.

What is an iTouch? I didn't know Apple released a new device called the iTouch. I have an iPod touch but, it must be one of the older 16GB models. Does the iTouch come with better features? Also, I wonder why they changed the name so quickly, I figured iPod touch would stick around for a while longer.

</sarcasm>

but seriously who came up with the name iTouch? It sounds like something my grandma would call it if you tried explaining it to her...

If you're still on 1.1.1 then you might want to upgrade to 1.1.2, it's much more stable apparently and also the most up to date so less bugs etc etc.
To safely upgrade to 1.1.2 you will have to go into Installer, go to the Install tab, scroll down to Tweaks 1.1.1 and then install 'Oktoprep'. Once that's done, plug the iPod into the Mac and choose Update in the iPod touch section of iTunes. Once that's all done, download this file and extract it and from there if you're on Mac open Jailbreak.jar and click Jailbreak! or if you're running Windows open windows.bat.
You now have a jailbroken 1.1.2 iPod touch :)

Awesome Slip that sounds perfect and easy, just one question, If I do go to 1.1.2 using this method does it erase everything iv done like the customizing and apps i have already installed or does it keep everything the same except make it faster and whatever else it does with 1.1.2?

Thanks

quick question

i dont know if i'm posting this is the right place or not, but i am thinking of jailbreaking my ipod touch. but i have two questions, 1) does jailbreaking it in any way, erase any of the music or pictures, i currently have on my itouch?
2) with the advantage of being able to put applications and such that the iphone has, you are still able to use safari?

any help would be great.

Hi Jenny

Just to answer your questions; ( if i am correct:rolleyes:)

1) does jailbreaking it in any way, erase any of the music or pictures, i currently have on my itouch? A: if you are on 1.1.2, you will need to downgrade to 1.1.1, which means restoring your ipod, so yes it will unfortunatly, unless there is away of jailbreak stright from 1.1.2, which i dont know about sorry

2) with the advantage of being able to put applications and such that the iphone has, you are still able to use safari? A:Sure can :)

Hope iv helped :)

:D

Im not sure if Im being totally honest. When I did it I went to 1.1.1, installed Oktoprep and went straight up to 1.1.2 and never put anything on so I don't know. Maybe someone else can help me out ;)

Yeah, that's correct, and as far as Im aware there is no way to stop your music and photos being erased. By the very nature of a Restore it wipes all of the files to factory settings :/

I have jailbroke my ipod touch and done it with 1.1.2 also, downloaded the appolo software from "installer" and when i try to install it it sys BSD or whatver it was, is not installed, so i install that again and then try appolo again, but the same thing happends, any ideas why?

Turn the touch completely off. Hold the top button until it says to power off. Then restart it. See if that works.
 
Trying to Jailbreak my iPod touch

andybno1 said:
it could be a case of the newer ipods shipped out have 1.1.2 so it could be a 50/50 bet either way I have a little guide here, its fool proof so you should be fine

*****************IF YOU HAVE 1.1.2*****************
download the 1.1.1 official firmware, save it to a place you will remember. (if you have safari please turn off the auto open when downloaded option)

if your touch isn't already in recovery mode as already instructed plug touch into pc/mac load itunes up and then hold down the lock/wake button and home key keep them held down eventually your touch will shut off, keep the buttons held down and when you see the apple logo let go of the lock/wake key ONLY leaving the home key pressed down and eventually you should get the itunes logo with pic of the usb wire.

iTunes should now say its detected an ipod in recovery mode click ok, now depending what system your using for windows hold the shift key down or for mac options key then press restore and point iTunes to the ipsw file and click open, iTunes should start restoring your touch to 1.1.1.

*****************IF YOU HAVE 1.1.2*****************

Point the touch's safari to jailbreame.com, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on install AppSnapp and soon after safari will "crash" if you wait yout touch will start to auto jailbreak, if memory serves me once the install has complete reboot your touch and your jailbroken.

to upgrade to 1.1.2 first step, go to installer then scroll down to 1.1.1 tweaks and install oktoprep. Once installed plug ipod in to pc/mac and update to official 1.1.2. When updated grab the 1.1.2 jailbreak program and extract to a folder. If you are running windows then run windows.bat if mac then the osx file, tick install ssh and click the jailbreak button. When this has finised doing its thing power off your touch then turn it back on, your touch will reboot when loaded up (this is normal) when its rebooted you will then have a jailbroken 1.1.2

Next its best to install BSD Subsystem, to do this go to installer --> install --> system --> BSD Subsystem --> install

also make sure you add http://repo.us.to to installer sources and you will have a nice and easy install of iphone apps

to add a source in installer

1. open installer
2. click sources
3. click edit
4. click add
5. enter url
6. click ok
7. wait for sources to refresh
8. go back to install
9. scroll down to iphone apps for 1.1.1/iphone apps for 1.1.2

for mail and maps make sure you install the prep items aswell

Im trying to Jailbreak my iPod touch and when I get into jailbeamer.com in my iPod, I dont see any "install AppSnapp" link in the bottom of the page. I have restored my iPod touch to 1.1.1.
 
Jailbroke my touch for the first time yesterday. Downgrading to 1.1.1 was so easy, has no problems at all, but of course with my luck the problems started for me when I tried to get a 1.1.2 jailbreak. Everything was great until I install the 1.1.2 firmware, tried to extract it, then just kept giving me error after error where I had to restart my comp.

So I'm just leaving it at 1.1.1 jailbreak for now until I know for sure how to get it to 1.1.2 safely without any problems
