Jason · 4 months ago

Every time I try this, I just get a black screen on my ipod that won't go away unless I restart it. Then I see that nothing has changed. Also, I don't get any little pictures or anything, after entering the special mode thing for redsn0w my screen goes white for a couple seconds, then it goes black. Even if I leave it for an hour, it stays black until I manually turn it off and turn it back on. Anybody have any ideas?

I have a 2g ipod touch and the 3.0 firmware loaded on my ipod, and it's the same one I'm using for redsn0w.

what if tryingt to jail break the screen stays black and it keeps saying trying to reboot on red snow

cdawg · 4 months ago

this worked perfectly - thanks man!

Moe · 4 months ago

Works like a charm... the only thing this website doesnt tell you is how to get free games after that... it took me a bit of researching, but to save you guys some time, follow this:

Once you have gotten everything done, follow these steps to REALLY unlock your ipod
1. open the newly installed app, Cydia
2. Go to manage in the bottom, and go to Sources
3. In sources, add in a new source "http://cydia.hackulo.us"
4. Once you have done that, go to search and type in "appsync"
5. Install the program "appsync for OS 3.0"
6. Restart your ipod, and you are open to the world of pirated games and apps on your Ipod...;)

The Confused Fello · 4 months ago

Hey I did have jailbroken my ipod touch first generation perfectly with redsnow. I can do everything I could do with the other hack but one very important thing. I cannot restart my ipod. When you try it looks fine...It loads the apple with the black screen, but then after it loads the apple with the black screen stays and it has a swirling loading thing in the middle of it. When i plug it into the computer the screen stays the same, but it knows that the ipod is there. :S The only thing that I can do to make the ipod work again is to restore it through itunes. I have jailbroken the ipod many times through redsnow, it works fine after but that same problem i cant restart my ipod. Anyone wanna help me resolve my issue? It would be much appreciated.

YumYum · 4 months ago

Thanks so much for everyone's tips! I have an Ipod Touch 2G.

I upgraded to 3.0 [on a MacBook] by dragging and dropping the file in HD>Users>(User Name)>Library>Itunes>ipod Software Updates

itunes did the work for me. Then, I used redsn0w. It kept giving me the "Waiting to reboot.." thing, but after I took it out of DFU (by basically doing the same thing to get it into DFU) and then put it back in, start redsn0w again, and when it said "Waiting to reboot" I unplugged the ipod and plugged it back in and got the white screen. Good to go :)

beaner perez · 4 months ago

Wow this has workd 2 perfection it only gave me like two hundred viruses but killed my ipod this really worked!!!

June · 4 months ago

Worked perfectly. Except when I got to the 'waiting to reboot' message, I had to unplug my ipod then plug it back in again. I then got the white screen and redsn0w worked its magic. Brilliant - thanks!

AD · 3 months ago

Hi, I have a problem.
I have updated my iPod Touch 2g to firmware 3.0 but i can't find the file of firmware 3.0
on redsnow.
Where I can find this?
Please answer me

Derek.Yang · 3 months ago

noname, did you download the firmware file? if you did it should be on your desktop or where ever your downloaded files usually go to on your computer.

Zach · 3 months ago

Hey I tried to jailbreak this and it worked perfectly but after I clicked "finish" on my computer I waited for my iPod touch's last bar to load, but after the last bar got done my whole iPod's screen just turned off. That was last night. I don't know what to do now. Should I try to put it back into DFU mode? If not, what should I do?
PLZ help!

Trevor · 3 months ago

Hey I got it, but then when I clicked Finish, and then my Itouch was off, so I turned it back on, and nothing is different, any help please!!!!!!

Derek.Yang · 3 months ago

Zach and Trevor, restore and try again. Sometimes there are hiccups in the process and most of the time a failure on the first try will usually not happen on the second or third try.

Zach · 3 months ago

@Derek.Yang i cant restore my computer wont even recognize it. what should i do?

derek · 3 months ago

Computer or iPhone? There is somewhat of a difference.

Morrison · 3 months ago

Zach · 3 months ago

Hey i got my iPod working.. P.S. MY COMPUTER DIDN'T RECOGNIZE MY IPOD, but I think it crashed because I didn't restore the firmware before jailbreak.. but my iPod is working perfectly and I'm glad I finally got it jailbroke because I'm addicted to Super Mario! P.S. @derek were you being sarcastic about that; because I got "somewhat" offended..

How do you jailbreak iPod Touch 3rd Generation

Anonymous · 2 months ago

I didnt get it to complete. Every time it finishes it doesnt put the CYDIA icon on and I can't do anything about it. So as far as I know it worked but without the icon, and im screwed..or it didnt work AND then idk what happened.
