How to Jailbreak Your 2G iPod Touch Using Quick2gPwner (Mac)
Comments

do we have to put it in itunes after that? because it keeps asking me to enter itunes. i can't excess cydia unless i restore.

i press command+v and then it just says (insert name here):Quick2gPwner (insert name here)$ cd ~/Desktop/Quick2gPwner/ && ./redsn0w -bash: ./redsn0w: No such file or directory what do i do ive tried pretty much everything and i dont know what to do?

Make sure the whole folder is on your desktop.

I've been doing this for 3 hrs now, but still it's stuck in the "waiting for reboot" part. I tried to unplug and plug my iPod again and again but it still didn't work. What will I do now?!

I've unplugged my iPod touch from the computer because the jailbreak process appears to get stuck during a "waiting for reboot stage". I've plugged my itouch back, but now it isn't working.

ok mine is the same problem as all, gets stuck on the itunes symbol and usb port

HELP** umm, my ipod screen has "Downloading Jailbreak Data..." with a downloading icon. Its been like that for 10minutes. What do I do?? Is this normal that it takes this long to download the jailbreak data.

I could not get this jailbreak to work with my ipod touch. It seemed like a really nice jail break, real short but did not work. If someone knows how to make this work please add comment for future users and if you could also sent me an email that would be great.

Yea so I tried to use this program, and it seems to be gettig stuck on the restart part... I've unpluged my Ipod 2 or 3 times, moved the usb port around and still getting no reboot action... I really had High hopes for this program... but it seems to be a no go :(

please help. i have done this three time and every time it gets suck on the downloading jailbraking data... screen and it stays there for ten minutes and then it flashes white and goes to recovery mode. please help meeeeee

im at the part where it has the itunes logo and under it is the usb plug. it said connect to itunes. Im connected to my macbook, and it says i have to restore my ipod on itunes. PLEASE help. also will this work for itouch 2G OS 3.0 cause thats what i have

Matt, Unfortunately, I believe you have to downgrade to an earlier OS. I had the same problem. I upgraded to 3.0 thinking it was going to be sweet only to find out I could not jailbreak. I ended up going back to 2.2.1 and this client worked like a CHARM! If you can somehow downgrade to 2.2.1 (5H11a), then you should have no problem. Last time I checked they were having some problems with jailbreaking the 3.0 OS, but I could be wrong by now. Hope this helps.

how can i downgrade?

worked great! i tried another mac jailbreak and it put my ipod into restore mode and i couldnt get it out of it. With this program it worked flawlessly and i had cydia on my ipod in less than 10 min. Thanks!

worked perfectly followed instructions, and took me about 10mins! its great only problem is...what do i do once i have cydia on my ipod??

works perfectly, I just did it with 2 different iTouchs.

this is a horrible client!. i downloaded it and did everything... but in it u dont even get free apps! u get the stuff they got which is dumb shit which has nothing to do. someone please reply if they can get me free apps. i want to get 4000 points in mobsters :'(

Dude, you have to load installous on to your ipod to do that.

i'm having the same problem as alot of people....it says to connect to itunes. i'm stuck. ughhh please help

This seriously took me 5 minutes to do, and i'm not very ipod savvy.. very easy to follow! Thanks a bunch, worked like a charm.

worked perfectly followed instructions, and took me about 10mins! its great only problem is...what do i do once i have cydia on my ipod??

flashes and goes to apple screen..has been since 10 min..will keep updated how it worked...i am scared........

awesome..worked perfectly....thanx a ton....

i am stuck up @apple screen ...cant see anything..will report soon if i get anything

Hello, anyone who had positive results with this. How long did it take for the jail break to work (while it's showing the apple after rebooting). I don't know whether I should try again, or see what happens if I wait. Please help!

the same thing happened to me, what am i supposed to do?

Thank you!! Worked perfectly!! Just be patient ppl...and make sure you're doing DFU mode correctly!

No, everyone, I do not reccomend this. It does work, but before it did it crashed my iTouch completely and I was so scared. That would be 300 dollars down the drain. When you restore it, it takes a couple hours, and its definately NOT supposed to take that long. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wait for QuickPwn to come out with a software to put on Mac. The DevTeam is working on it, so please dont take this risk.

Ive got the same problem as TSquar3d im done with evrything and thn poof it tells me to connect it to itunes and wen i do it jst goes bak to the factory settings. HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!! jst repli the answer to me or send it with my email address

It works all up until the install is finished, then it tells me to connect to itunes. When I connect to itunes it reboots it to factory state. What am I doing wrong?

this was the fastest easiest way to jailbreak my ipod. it was so easy i reccomend to all.

my ipod is stuck at the apple and keeps making the rebout sounds. any help would be awsome

it worked. it's the only one that's worked for me. but what can Cydia do? It can't get me free apps in the app store. it has a select few of apps and themes. it's not great. can i switch what program is downloaded in so i can have installer and those custom build .ipsw like in pwnageTool?

Seriously this quickpwner is SOOO much faster than the 20 steps one. i've tried following all the steps and got stuck twice, but finally i,ve tried this quick one and took me like 5 min instead of an hour and a half!

@ iClarified or to anyone who can answer this. If I jailbreak my iPod, will I still be able to use it with iTunes for my music and everything else? I basically just want Cydia (does Installer exist anymore) to download some apps but thats about the extent of what I want to do. Also, after jailbreaking, if I dont like it or something happens, can I restore my iPod back to the factory settings and be safe and good to go? never done this before and I know very little. Thanks

Yes, you can restore your factory settings if you don't like Cydia (which I guaruntee you will if you find the right apps ;]). You can still use iTunes and everything, and Installer is called Installous now (look it up on youtube).

awesome,took 3 times but it finally worked.

how long does it take once it is rebooting to come up with the springboard along with cydia?

what did you do differently then the instructions to make it work?

Is this for 2.2.1 ipod touch 2G firmware?

um i keep getting stuck at the restart and nothing is happening it just stays that way and wont get off the apple symbol and i have no clue what to do anyone want to help me?

Anybody know if this is a tether jailbreak or not?

i need some help i cant even get past step 2 because the quick2gpwner app is not opening after i click on it on my macbook.. wut should i do?

I think you may have to have Leopard...do u have it? I have Tiger and it doesnt work either.... grrr makes me so mad.

yea u need leopard! it worked on my moms laptop (w. leopard). i have tiger and it wouldnt open. leopard is the way to go.

My ipod is stuck at the image of a harddrive with a green arrow pointing down at it saying downloading jailbreak data... HELP im stuck.

its easy! all you have to is make sure that you DFU right and you have to have THE FOLDER ON YOUR DESKTOP

After going through this process several times, I guess I'm just going to sit and wait. After I've gone through all the steps, my iPod will turn off and back on, then stay on the apple logo for a while. How long should I have to wait for the iPod to boot up? If none of this ends up working, how do I get my iPod back?

i have the same problem as you do and i don't know what you have to do

i just about to write that the jailbreak did not work...but then....it WORKED...!!! I got the cyndia on the ipod now after second time trying to jail break it...you've got to give it some time...for those who ipod touch jail break did not work...i suggest you do it again...after your first try, don't disconnect your ipod, just close the terminal and click "pwn the ipod 2g icon again"...the terminal will come up and will try to do the jail break again...follow through the steps...and wait for 10-15 mins...it worked for me...it shoud for you...GOOD LUCK...

worked perfectly in less than 5 minutes thank you worth the wait!!

I was able to get through the process. But all it does is displays the Apple Logo and then just keeps re-starting over and over and over again. I was not successfull :( I tried twice but not so much.
