Complete Jailbreak Guide

[Danny600kill]

One last question

I might be buying an 2G iPod Touch tomorrow.
So I just check for the Model number and if it's MC it can't be jailbroken? (providing it's firmware 3.1.2)
The latest firmware is 3.1.2 ? If the model number isn't MC and it's 3.1.2 can it still be jailbroken?

Thanks guys for help.

The latest firmware is 3.1.3, if it is 3.1.2 no matter what model it is you can jailbreak it. If its 3.1.3 then you have to be weary. First don't go for a 3G. Secondly look and if it is no MC then no mater what firmware its hackable. If it is MC then check the firmware. if it is 3.1.2 then it is hackable, if its 3.1.3 then its not. If I were you then I would look for a non MC model as we know that they will still be hackable in the future. The difference between the MC and 3G is the internals and so these can be more trouble.

If tl,dr then basically if possible go for a 2G non MC model. If it is MC then make sure it is 3.1.2 or lower. if it is 3.1.3 then don't buy

Hope it helps

Edit: If you don't know, to find out the model number go on Setting > General > About look for Model. It will start with either MB or MC

Edit2: Yes you can still use Itunes and if you decide to pirate apps ( that's naughty

) then you can use a app from Cydia called ''app sync'' so you can sync your pirated apps to Itunes

Thanks a lot! This should be stickied! By the way you could also create an unlocking post because many people want to unlock their non-AT&T Iphones/Ipods

Oh and I forgot one more. If I jailbreak it, can I still use iTunes for it?

It HAS to be a non-MC model, that's first.
The latest firmware for all devices is 3.1.3, if you're planning to go on that you have to jailbreak on 3.1.2 first, then do a custom upgrade, no exceptions. As long as the model number isn't MC and it's on 3.1.2 or below it will be fine, and yes, you can still use your lovely iTunes and everything else with it.
EDIT: @danny, 3.0 and above Jailbreaks for 2G's require non-MC models

I was thinking about it but I don't think I want to as I do have my Iphone anymore and so I can't try the new methods. Plus the new base band has problems while trying to unlock. If someone would like to make a topic like this I would add the link to my topic.

So anything under 3.1.3 is fine, anything on 3.1.3 isn't.QUOTE(luke_c @ Mar 29 2010, 04:33 PM)

I don't use iTunes personally. Just for my iPod I have now.

Precisely, if you do want to go to 3.1.3 you will have to jailbreak on 3.1.2 first anyway.

I think you should have the tethered and untethered firmwares, and say what tethered and untethered jailbreaks are

Also put that Itunes does NOT affect the jailbreak

 

[Twiffles]

I thought your sig said "Complete Jailbait Guide" so I clicked it and I was disappointed.

But since it's for iPods I'll probably use this guide later on for something.

Unlucky my friend, GeoHot and the Dev-team are working on it and have found a potential exploit but need to test it thoroughly. Hopefully it will be finished soon and you may have a jailbroken Ipod

 

[DeMoN]

Yep, I have a 3.1.3 iPod Touch that's the freaking MC model so I can't do shit.

I have personally tried this method and for me it didn't work. Some people are saying it does but without conclusive evidence I wont be adding it to my guide. Sorry.

man myn is a fresh 3g on 3.1.3 n nothing can get through it

iPhone 3G, or iPod Touch 3rd Gen?

Because 3G iPhones can get jailbroken on 3.1.3 (mine is)

He is talking about the Touch I'm guessing as normally I relate ''g'' to Ipod and ''G'' to the Iphone

 

[Hardkaare]

In the past when i used Blackra1n to jailbreak it wouldn't install it, unless i did it on a fresh restored iPhone, am i the only one who have to do this?

Now i use Redsn0w and it can install Cydia just fine without restoring first, how can that be?

 

[Dialexio]

Geohot, in his own words, codes things hacky, which could explain why blackra1n only worked on a newly-restored device for you.

This is also why blackra1n has been reported to gag on iTunes 9.1 for Windows. (The Mac version and the iPhone Dev Team's work was unaffected.) blackbreeze, which needs .NET 2.0 and admin access, is supposed to patch iTunes 9.1 and blackra1n.exe to play nice.

a little something a forgot 2 mention

ITS A FREGGIN MC MODEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[alidsl]

Geohot HAS an exploit but Is not releasing it yet, he is either waiting to test it on ipad or Ipod touch 4th gen, this is the same for greenpois0n as stated on the chronic dev blog (here) in their own words, "It's not that bad when something is postpwned".

also @Danny600kill: the link to this guide in your sig isn't a link
