But when i try to download cydia using loader, it says something like low memory and ask me to delete photos and videos. But actually my ipod is completely empty. I have not single app or song or photo on it. Anyone please give me solution.

since it isnt explicitly stated anywhere, im just wondering whether this is tethered or untethered jb?

dont know why nobody answers this, very good question, it is untethered. I googled this jailbreak before installing it, works great on my 4g Ipod Touch

I have a 3g 32Gig Ipod Touch with 4.2.1 installed. I used GreenPois1n and the installation instructions were very clear, easy, and Jailbreaked my device very easily and in about 2 minutes. Everything was fine until I went to use my ipod's bluetooth capabilities, there were none. The bluetooth MAC address was gone too. What can I do to change this or do I have to restore? If anyone knows or can help that would be fantastic.

Which is best jailbreak for ipod touch 2G MB model or non MC Model IOS 4.1, LimeRa1n or Greenpois0n or redsnow ? I tried Greenpoison but Cydia didnt install after jailbreaking process ..... Cydia folder remains white and doesnt open .... Wat shall i do now ?? Continue jailbreaking with redsnow on already jailbroken ipod touch OR do fresh firmware upgrade to 4.1 or 4.2 and jailbreak with rednsow .... if for ios 4.2, which jailbreak would be better for ipod touch 2G MB model ??

Yes, NOT working on iPod Touch 2G (MB Model). Try Redsnow.

Blake James - February 5, 2011 at 11:10pm
if you have windows and 4.1 then limera1n, if 4.2 and mac, then redsn0w 0.9.7b6. but if cydia doesnt work, re do the jailbreak process

Just an fyi for you all. This program is also good for jailbreaking Ipodtouch 2g with the mc model number on os 4.1

And as for the last 2 comments before this one. For the 4g ipod u want to use limera1n to jailbreak it. And if this doesnt work for the 2g mg model redsnow is working great.
