  • Billy

    will this crash when you turn off your itouch?

  • Billy

    on step 10 the runme program doesnt recognize my ipod. help!

  • joe

    you should put the warning at the top of the page!!!!
    otherwise great post worked great.
    no viruses, and easy to use ( need almost no knowlage to use)
    also to put the ipod in DFU mode press and hold the power and home butten for ten seconds and then just the home button for 8 seconds.

  • rideblue193

    I <3 YOU!!!!

    thanks for the tutorial

  • alex

    same problem as billy other programs read it as DFU mode but it doesn’t get detected when i run runme.exe

  • Peter

    Billy, you probably dont have libusb.exe installed. google it. i remember when i had the tethered jailbreak, that it required that to be installed. Great tutorial by the way, it worked like a charm. Thanks. (You might want to add that into the tutorial :). Also, billy, if you have vista, you might want to uninstall libusb after you do the jailbreak, because it seems to mess up vista. (or maybe its just mine, but it freezes my computer) also, make sure you dont have anything plugged into your usb. (if you have vista)

  • Noob

  • Noob

    Sorry typed the wrong name thanks to Peter for his comment.

  • Scot

    I followed the directions to the letter and after itfinishd it crashed my ipod it will not turn on.

  • Tom

    I only get cydia but i want installer.
    How do i get installer?

    Thnks

  • Sun Dude

    OMFG It actually works…. OMFG now i can show off at school.. LoL don’t flame me for that what i just said plx. Anyway. I’ve just restored it and it turns on by it self and cydia works. Also just sold the semi-tethered to my friends at school for like $10 each as they can’t be stuffed to get the materials them selves, but i wasted like 20gs of bandwith since my computer, for some reason kept redownloading the .ispw.
    Thanks alot anyway, this means now i can finally put all my music on without worring about a reinstall.

  • Scot

    i got it back by recovering with old firmware. sorry for freaking out i just want this to work and it did not after it finished the recovery it just went black.

  • Girrod

    RENAME THE iPod2,1_2.2.1_5H11a_Restore.ipsw OriginalFW
    NOT OriginalFW.ipsw other wise it wont work

  • Daniel

    Ok…. I’m having troubles…. I try to start IPSW.bat but it pops up and goes away like in half a second…. then I went to log and it says: error: Could not load IPSW

    WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?

  • Tyler

    sweet. It works!!

  • cheatsisazn

    For all you noobs out there, to get your ipod in DFU mode, you have to first hold the home and power button for about 10 seconds, then the home button for about 15-20 seconds.

  • http://- Jur

    My ipod doesn’t get found by runme.exe what am i doing wrong?

  • http://www.youfail.org Jur

    Figured it out! Worked perfectly (till now, it’s restoring now:D)

  • Jur

    does anybody know how to get the installer app?!!

  • Tester

    Hi there,

    Everything worked for me up to step 11 under WinXP-Pro-SP2 with libusb.
    When I tried to upload the custom image via Itunes (version 8.1.0.51), the ipod touch 2g (Modell MB533FD/Firmware 2.2.1 (5H11a) startet downloading the Image.

    When the progress bar reached about 1/3 of its length, itunes popped up an error message “unknown error during restore” – unfortenatly i forgot the error number.

    Same error with QuickFreedom (http://proudofmylife.net/ipod-touch-2g-jailbreak/)

    After that erroro itouch always comes up in recovery-mode

    itunes can however restore the original Firmware iPod2,1_2.2.1_5H11a_Restore.ipsw, so that i can revive the itouch.

    What now?

  • Mike

    no jb file is created

    Hello yes I am building a GUI for the jailbreak and I was wondering if I could save myself from having to make another batch file by going into firmware bundles and replacing the original LLB patch with the new LLB patch(24kpwn patch, not patched IMG3)?

    For all people that need help with the libusb thing.. When I was jailbreaking my iPod a few days ago, I installed libusb and all my ports died: my mouse and keyboard stopped working. I had to use an older keyboard and mouse, and i uninstalled libusb by going to start>control pannel> Uninstall a program> “LibUsb”. Then i read around what i did wrong and i read that you need to right click on the libusb exe or stup file, andthen click properties, then set it compatable to windows xp. This way all our ports will still work and wont crash.. Good Luck!!

    Followed instructions to the T. Restoring using the JB File. ITunes extracts and prepares for restoration and then brings up an unexpected error (13) upon restoration.

    Anyone?

  • Tommy

    i have the same problem as the guy above me….

  • http://theblogger.ning.com Ryan

    @rick and tommy
    I had the same problem it could be because your computer firewall is blocking iTunes. just disable it while it jailbreaks and it should work, hope this helps

  • http://theblogger.ning.com Ryan

    now im getting the message error:cannot load ipsw! Help me please

  • Joseph

    I have similar problem, but solve it.
    follow steps:
    1. Unistall all iTunes and apple device drivers
    2. download LibUSB from http://www.libusb.org/ (i’ve downloaded libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0)
    3.extract archive and goto “bin” directory then run inf-wizard.exe, select your apple device (ipod should be connected) and install driver.
    4. Reboot computer and run RUNME.exe

    - it works for me, i’m using Windows 7 x64
