Top Tip! Simple Guide To Jailbreak Apple iPod Touch 1G Using QuickPWN
Submitted by admin on Tue, 03/17/2009 - 08:14.
Jail-breaking your Apple iPod Touch allows you to enjoy hundreds of themes, games, applications and hacks which are not supported by Apple, although jailbreaking can be done pretty easily using free wizard styled application QuickPwn if not done properly it can render your device inoperable requiring a restore via iTunes.
Jailbreaking your device requires basic computer knowledge and should take roughly 15-25 minutes to complete on a decently powered PC/Mac computer.
Steps to Jailbreak your Apple iPod Touch First Genration:
- Upgrade your iPod touch to the latest firmware version via iTunes, if you are using a first generation device with 1.x.x firmware use this - iPod Touch 1G upgrade guide.
- Download QuickPWN 2.2.5 for Windows or MAC.
- Download and save iPod Touch OS 2.2.1 .IPSW file:
- Connect iPod Touch to your computer and close iTunes if running, now launch QuickPWN and follow the simple onscreen instructions.
- Browse and select the .IPSW restore file downloaded earlier.
- A green checkmark will be shown to confirm the correct file selection.
- Now follow the onscreen instructions and complete the jailbreaking process, don't forget to check the Cydia and Installer check-boxes.
- Once completed your iPod Touch will reboot into its newly modified state jailbroken with Cydia and Installer.
Once jailbroken your can launch the Cydia application from iPod Touch and start downloading application, games, themes and hacks for your device.

the same thing happened to me. I think we should have restored our ipods before we jailbroke them.
reboot stalls
It gets to the reboot stage but then the apple sign comes up and just stays there
Reboot
If it stays there then u need to restore ur iPod before jailbreaking
do all of my other app still work? And what is "JAILBREAKING"
Ive had my ipod touch for about a year and i have a TON of apps already if i jail break my ipod touch will they still work? And if i jail break my ipod what are the pro's and con's of it?
Reboot
The jailbreak worked great...until the reboot. My iPod is now rebotting for 15 hours and it isn't done yet?! iTunes says there's an unknown error. Can anyone help me?
jailbreak is broken
u need to restore your ipod, the endless ipod reboot is caused by not restoring your ipod to the right firmware to begin with, to do this whe u restore your ipod hold shift and click restore in your itunes menu, a window will open and u need to select the firmware u are using(weather it be 2.2 or 2.2.1 or whatever, it will then put that firmware on your ipod and then u can use quickpwn or whatever to jailbreak your ipod and it will work fine. i hope this helped if not email me at g_hannus177@hotmail.com ill get back to u and try to help

same thing with me, i know how to fix it
ok mine did the same thing (got stuck at putting your ipod in recovery mode) i did it manually, when that screen comes up and says putting ipod in recovery mode.....step 1= turn off ipod while its still plugged in. step 2=unplug ipod but keep quickpwn open. step 3= hold home button in (circular button with white square in it)for 4 seconds and then connect your usb cord while quickpwn is still open and then continue to hold in the home button after connection, then it will come to a screenon your ipod that will have a usb cord and it pointing toward an itunes logo, then bingo thats recovery mode and it should work fine from there. good luck hope i helped
YAY!

Exactly how to do it
1.restore your ipod on itunes
2.connect ipod to computer
3.run quick pwn
4.go through all the steps on quick pwn
5.ipod should reboot with your ipod jailbroken
**if your ipod isnt booting up and its frozen, heres what to do**
1.turn off ipod by holding the power and home button down
2.now once ipod is turned off, immediately let go of buttons
3.now only hold down home button
4.while holding home button down plug usb cable into your ipod and back into the computer...make sure you keep on holding the home button down
5.now you will see an itunes plug in sign or a man on the screen of your ipod, once you get there you can let go of the home screen button
6.then click restore on itunes and voila! ur back in business
*******the reason your ipod wasnt starting at first is because you need to restore it first thing********
