    BEST JAILBREAK EVER!!!!!!!!! I’ve been a huge fan of BlackRa1n but after being retarded and not realizing I had to have the SHSH backed up BEFORE i upgraded to 4.0 I have been spending the last 4 hours (since around 3 am to 7 am now) trying to find a work around. Even editing the hosts file to try and revert to the remotely backed up shsh on saurik’s site didn’t work! Figured heck, nothing to lose, then BAM this baby cracks my 3G right out of jail no problem!! And to be able to do it via a website…..GENIUS!!!!!! :) :) :)

    Oh and the added bonus? ITS UNTETHERED SO I NO LONGER NEED TO FEAR THE DEAD BATTERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    WOWOWOW IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A JAILBREAK THAT WORK AND FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!!1 THANKS A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

  • juan

    love it

  • DANNY

    to nathaniel and others …. this works for any ipod version .. but considering the 2nd gen … it doesnt support multitasking .. and once you jailbreak it cydia is added to the screen … from there you have to add a repository which is cydia.hackulo.us once added you can select the packages from that repo … which are appsync 4.0 then install0us which is the cracked version of the app store … once again this jailbreak is tested on a 3g 32gb MC ipod touch and is working on 4.0 jailbroken … for those of you who need further information you can write me on here be specific on what information you need then i will be able to asist you all :) god bless!!

  • Artiom

    Hello, can i do this jailbreak on iPod touch 3g iOS 4? (I bought it one week ago, so i dont know anything))

  • EDDY

    it didnt work for me. it sends me to a screen that says “Not found (error to origin)”

  • ahoj

    i have problem: it says: “file received was invalid”, i tried it many times, but it always wrote this. :( can i do something with it???

  • Caleb

    Your A Legend Work Perfectly
    Highly Recommend Doing Yourself

  • Danny

    just to let you all know … works for all iphones and ipod touches …. you must be running 4.0 or 4.01 only … do not update to 4.02 as apple has fixed the patch already and you will have a downfall .. this is confirmed working … you must do a clean restore … do not restore via itunes .. use http://www.felixbruns.de and select the proper version of 4.0 for your device .. then hold shift while clicking on restore in itunes and select that firmware file … let it do its job … when you are on the home screen you can unplug your device from the computer and just navigate to the jailbreak with your safari browser on your idevice slide to jailbreak and wait 5 min .. you will have a surprise saying its completed and cydia is added to your screen .. press the home button and you will notice you have a new page slide your finger across and presto CYDIA … if you need further assistance you guys let me know .. it will not damage your device if you follow what i said … :) cheers!!

  • andrew

    worked for me. it froze at the safari screen but i rebooted it and cydia was there
