Apple Complete iOS Jailbreak Guide

[Dialexio]

The guide's SHSH section has been mostly converted to a TinyUmbrella guide. Please take a look at it, regardless of whether you're thinking of jailbreaking or not (and as always, report any mistakes I might've made)!

Have you updated tinyumbrella for the new ui?

Yup, the guide was made for TinyUmbrella's new UI.

Weird.... Itunes recognizes when my ipod goes into Recovery mode, but greenpois0n does not. I think I'll give limera1n a shot.

 

[alidsl]

Is greenp0ison asking about DFU or recovery mode?

You need to follow greenpois0n's instructions to put your iPod into DFU Mode. Start up the application, and click the button for a walkthrough on entering DFU Mode. You will know if the device is in DFU Mode because the screen will be completely off, and greenpois0n will let you proceed with jailbreaking your iPod.

If you see the image below, you are in Recovery Mode, not DFU Mode. You can try again by holding down the Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds, then release the Sleep button. (Keep holding home until your computer recognizes your iPod as "Apple Mobile Device (DFU Mode).")

 

[alidsl]

no, you hold the power+home buttons for 10 seconds before the apple appears then let go of the power button and keep holding the home

edit: power butting?

 

[Dialexio]

Bleh... For some odd reason, I thought you needed to reboot before trying to enter DFU Mode again.

Thanks for catching that!

 

[alidsl]

neat edit

it's ok though, most people refer to recovery mode as dfu mode it's kind of annoying

Just used the guide to update to 4.1 JB. Great guide thanks guys.

 

[Dialexio]

Thanks Shaun!

The guide has also been updated with instructions on kicking out of Recovery Mode post-downgrading. I've also included the iPod touch 2G in greenpois0n's list of supported devices.

 

[metamaster]

2g mc is supported!?! *goes to hack some ipods*
By the way, the guide is getting better and better, great job!

 

[Dialexio]

Thanks metamaster!

The guide was also updated to cover the Mac OS X version of greenpois0n better, which has a slightly different UI and set of steps.

Awesome guide Dialexio! I just got a new iPhone 3gs and I've been searching for a guide to make sense of all the different ios, jailbreaks, unlocks, etc. floating around out there. I'm a regular on gbatemp in the wii section but i didn't think to look in this section

I've read on some other sites that for some people limera1n works only if iTunes is open. If this is true, can you add it to your guide?

 

[mad567]

Thank you

............

I finally jailbroke my ipod touch 2g :yayipod:

Currently uploading a demo of the greenpois0n jailbreak. Be warned it's silent, I'm not in the best of conditions lately and I thought it maybe a good idea (coughing badly throughout)

Video uploaded:

remember its silent - but i've requested an audio swap for some background sound




The audio swap seems to have been completed, so its not completely silent

Yeah, Because Dialexio is the only writer of the guide

I did as much work on the jailbreak part as he did.

We're a team.

But anyway, I am glad you jailbroke your iPhone
