So, they’ve finally done it. It’s not automated, because it’s a tethered jailbreak: ie. every time you reboot, you have to go through this whole process again, but it’s a jailbreak. Dev Team is still working on unlocking the bootrom. When they do that, they’ll automate the process.

It is not easy, but it is possible. I still recommend waiting for some program from The Dev Team.
We take no responsibility. Read everything before start doing something.

Downloads:

Firmware 2.1.111
Firmware 2.2.112
Xpwn13
iRecovery14
Boot helper15
Rslite16 %u2013 when you extract it, install the application libusb (it is in iRecovery folder) on this folder. In case of something happen, restart the PC in Safe Mode and uninstall libusb.
If you are on Vista, when you install libusb, press the right button, then proprieties and put it in Compatibility WinXP Service Pack 2

Process:
1.Extract everything in a folder in c: JB (it is easier)
2.Copy the rslite folder %u201Cfirmware bundles%u201D to %u201Cxpwn%u201D folder.
3.Copy the Firmware 2.2.1 to %u201Cxpwn%u201D folder and rename it to %u201COriginalFW.ipsw%u201D (if in your PC does not appear the extension, just rename to %u201COriginalFW%u201D)
4.Go to %u201CStart%u201D, then Execute%u2026, then write %u201Ccmd%u201D and press enter
5.Write %u201Ccd C: JB XPwn-0.5.7-win32%u201D and press enter
6.Write %u201Cipsw OriginalFW.ipsw patchedFW.ipsw -s 700 bundles Cydia.tar%u201D and press enter. It will take a while. When it is back to normal line of command and it is possible to write, close the cmd.
7.Now on the xpwn folder there is a file called %u201CpatchedFW.ipsw%u201D. Rename it to patchedFW.zip and open it with Winrar. Find the .dfu file that starts with iBSS and a .img3 file that starts with iBoot and extract both to %u201CiRecovery%u201D folder. Rename it back to %u201CpatchedFW.ipsw%u201D.
8.Rename both files that you extracted to: %u201CiBSS221pwn.dfu%u201D and %u201CiBoot221pwn.img3%u201D
9.Open Firmware 2.1.1 with Winrar (same process) and find the iBSS, extract to %u201CiRecovery%u201D folder and rename it to %u201CiBSS211.dfu%u201D
10.Turn on your iPod Touch (if it is off)
11.Connect it to the PC.
12.Put it in DFU mode17
13.Open cmd again. Type %u201Ccd C: JB iRecovery%u201D
14.Type %u201Cirecovery -f iBSS211.dfu%u201D. Close cmd and open another.
15.Disconnect the iPod, wait some seconds, connect it again.
16.Now write all t he following commands separately (write one, press enter, write other, press enter%u2026)
%u201Ccd C: JB iRecovery %u201D
%u201Cirecovery -s%u201D (ps: will appear iPhone$ and you will write the commands in front of that).

%u201Cmw 0?000000 0xe59f3014%u2033
%u201Cmw 0?000004 0xe3a02a02%u2033

%u201Carm7_go%u201D
%u201Carm7_stop%u201D
18.Open a new cmd and type %u201Ccd C: JB ircovery %u201D e depois %u201Crecovery -f iBSS221pwn.dfu%u201D. Close the cmd.
19.Open iTunes and it will say that iPod Touch is in %u201Crecovery%u201D.
20.Hold SHIFT and press %u201Crestore%u201D (at the same time). Go to xpwn folder, select %u201CpatchedFW.ipws%u201D file. Do restore.
21.Your iPod will stay with black screen and will not be recognized by the PC, neither turn on or nothing, that is normal. Just relax.
22.Go to the folder were you extracted the %u201Cboot helper%u201D. Over there there is a file called %u201Cboot.bat%u201D. Open it.
Open the Task Manager and go to Processes tab
23.Kill %u201Cipodservice.exe%u201D and %u201CAppleMobileService.exe%u201D and rapidly go to the prompt where you opend %u201Cboot.bat%u201D, press enter and hold home power. When it says to release the power button, release it. But when it says to release the home button, stay pressing it, until the PC make a noise showing that everything is ok.

Thanks Arthur

Thanks Caio

If anyone saw any error in my translation, tell me what it is and I will correct. I am sorry, I am Brazilian 😀

I did not tried this tutorial, because I do not have iPod Touch 2G.

iPod Touched » Blog Archive » Ipod Touch 2G Jailbreak on Windows

It’s called Clippy and can be found in the ispazio Cydia repo.

So… only for jailbroken ipods!

Very usefull if you have filled up your 9 pages of icons.

Ruby

The iphone for enterprise tools are here. They allow you to set passwords of larger than 4 digits (with alphanumerics) and assign profiles to devices. Quite a neat toolkit.

Shazam allows you to identify any tune you hear through your iphone speakers.

This allows for editing of office (word / excel / powerpoint) files on the iphone / ipod

For my agenda I’m a firm believer in the week view. I want it to look just like an old fashioned paper agenda. This seems to be quite difficult for some reason, as there are very very few apps on the PC or Windows Mobile that can do this. Pocket informant looks like it has that capability, meaning that maybe I can finally use my touch as an agenda.

Now … How to sync it with Lotus Organizer?!

This turns your ipod touch into an ebook reader. It has sources to free books (such as Project Guthenburg) and also allows you to buy commercial books for around $8 – $10.

They’re just very neat!

Oooops is available through the appstore (or will be)

Which basically means: you can put your iphone on any carrier you like now! It’s called yellowsn0w and is available through Cydia.

Well, a iphone Safari plugin that allows you to watch flv films. Which is pretty good 🙂

ml_ipod: is a winamp plugin which allows you to copy your music, photo’s, etc, to your ipod through winamp. It doesn’t yet support write to ipod touch and iphone yet, but they’re hoping to get there. In the meantime it does support read from them…

Sharepod is an itunes alternative, if you’re just bothered about the music aspect of itunes. It’s very small and lightweight. Very nice!

VLC Remote allows you to open media files using your iphone as a remote.

This funky dock speaker system changes colours on command or automatically on a cycle. Groovy!

SMS Touch: Send Free Text Messages Through Email

This article links to five in the appstore. They work by writing a message and then opening the email app and pasting the input into a new mail:

Wide Email
Lettera
Sideways
Touchtype
Compose

Firemail

If you’re jailbroken you can type SMS messages in landscape mode using biteSMS or iRealSMS from Cydia.

It’s only a matter of time 🙂

It’s Apple cripples your 2.2 software update but hack it time! This time it’s the emoji, which only Japanese iphones got. So if you want it on your iphone or ipod, try the following:

[Update: Cydia has added this change as a package: See here for more]

Because Apple are dicks and have disabled streetview on the 2.2 ipods in a pathetic attempt to make the iphone somehow more exclusive than the ipod, someone has had to come out and discover how to fix this 🙂

i’ve found the trigger so this is probably the easiest way for the time being…

1. get this file via ssh: /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/N45AP.plist
2. convert to xml at http://iappcat.com/plist/bin2xml
3. add

key>telephony /key>
dict>
key>maximumGeneration /key>
real>2.5 /real>
/dict>

underneath

key>standAloneContacts /key>
true/>

4. save then using that website again reconvert to binary
5. rename original file N45AP.old
6. copy new N45AP.plist in (make sure permissions are 644)
7. reboot ipod
all new Maps features work however you get a searching for service (replaces the word ipod in the top left) and waiting for activation message that pops up occassionally also music slot in prefs disappears (hjrry)

Hopefully someone can patch the frameworks or springboard which wouldnt require this to be done! Anyway if you’re desperate to try it out, thats all that needs to be done theres nothing wrong with stability or anything so you’re not going break anything permanately trying this out.
enjoy

[HowTo] Enable Street View on Touch 2.2 – iPod touch Fans forum

Pusher is an alternative way to push installer.app apps to the ipod / iphone without jailbraking it. It runs from a host PC / Mac, which will make it a lot friendlier for the average user. It does disable ssh, so if you like the part about it being a linux phone, you might not want this.

OrbLive allows you to stream anything from your computer to your ipod / iphone. This means you don’t need it to be on your actual ipod to see it.

This makes for one amazing lockscreen

You set up where you want to see the weather from and it’ll show you it in 3d, oF or oC

iphone sms backup export to textfile

To get the ipod able to sync to multiple computers basically you find the an itunes ID which the PC you’re allready syncing to has, and then rewrite the ID on the second computer. The only thing is that if you then sync the same type of data from both PCs you’ll have that data on both machines. This could mean pretty huge music as both libraries are combined.
