How to Jailbreak
Steps Before Starting The Jailbreak
1. Back up your iPod Touch. Before you do anything, be sure to sync with iTunes and perform a backup. This is a precautionary method just in case anything goes wrong and your device needs to be restored.
Method 1: Cydia with Redsn0w
1. Update your software to 5.1. Follow these step-by-step instructions to jailbreak your idevice with the assumption that you've already updated your idevice to iOS 5.1 (please note, Settings—> General—> About—> Version should be 5.1)
2. Download the Redsn0w application. Download Redsn0w 0.9.10b6 for Windows from this link and Redsn0w 0.9.10b6b for Mac from this link and save the application in a folder named "Redsn0w" on your desktop.
3. Unzip Redsn0w. Double click the Redsn0w zip file and extract the application to the Redsn0w folder. Navigate back to the Redsn0w folder and launch the Redsn0w application.
4. Start the process. After launching Redsn0w, click on the Jailbreak button.(Very easy right?)
o Windows 7 users should run the .exe in Windows XP compatibility mode (right-click on the Redsn0w .exe and select Properties, then select the Compatibility tab, then select Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP). Windows XP and Windows 7 users should run Redsn0w as Administrator (right-click on the Redsn0w .exe and select Run as an Administrator).
o You will be prompted to connect your iPod touch to the computer and switch it off. Follow the instructions and click on "Next" to move to the next screen.
5. Put your iPod touch into the DFU mode. Redsn0w will take you through the necessary steps or follow my instructions.
o Shut of your idevice
o Shut of your idevice
o Hold the Power button on the idevice down for 3 seconds.
o Now simultaneously hold the Home button and keep the two buttons pressed for 10 seconds.
o Release the Power button while keeping the Home button pressed, until Redsn0w detects the device.
o Your iPod touch should reboot now. Please remember to release the Home button. Redsn0w will now start preparing the jailbreak data.
6. Choose your options. You will be prompted to select the jailbreak options you would like. Make sure Cydia is selected, then select next to continue.
o You iPod touch will be rebooted again and Redsn0w will now begin uploading the new RAM disk and kernel.
o Once the jailbreaking process is complete, click the Finish button to exit the application.
7. Wait while your iPod Touch reboots. This could take up to 5 minutes. After it has rebooted, your iPod Touch should be successfully jailbroken, and the Cydia jailbreak app on your iPod touch’s home screen.
8. You will need to boot your iPod Touch tethered. Once Redsn0w has finished jailbreaking your iPod touch, you will need to boot it tethered, which means that if you need to reboot your iPod touch it will be stuck on the Apple logo. All you need to do is rerun Redsn0w and this time click on Extras and then click on Just boot from the list of options and follow the on screen instructions to reboot your iPod touch.
