How to Jailbreak Your iPod Touch on OS 3.0 Using RedSn0w (Mac)
Comments

I installed Winterboard, clicked reboot and the ipod 1gen is stuck at the pineapple logo. After about 20 secs it just goes black

Why is it that when i download the redsnow file on my mac, it downloads as a zip file and i never had that trouble because i have a program that opens zip files stuffit

its not working for me. It crashes when the window connecting to server pops up what should I do

Thaaaaaaank you! No one was clearifying step one and two when you have to use YOUR OWN ipsw. Thanks

Ok.. this is somewhat of an update to this tutorial. I used RedSn0w 0.8 to jailbreak my 2G iPod Touch on a MAC. Firstly, you will need to upgrade your device's OS to version 3. You can download this for your device. Google and Softpedia is your friend. Use that firmware that I had just mentioned above for the steps mentioned in the tutorial. When entering in DFU mode and RedSn0W says waiting for reboot, what I did was to unplug my USB cable from the computer momentarily and inserted it back. That caused the device to continue with the jailbreak process. Another note worthy thing is that you need to used APPLESYNC 3.0 and not MIPATCH for a device that has been upgraded to 3.0. It will cause the device to hang on boot.

Nightfall, Yo if we hadn't happened to have seen your comment on forum, we would sitting in front of our desk with dick in our hands for days! Thanks a hell of a lot. Really appreciate it! This should be a common post for everyone. Its very important that all unplug/replug at restore point. Everyone probably goes through this sh*t... Again thanks!

If it wasn't for the unplug/replug, I'd be waiting forever.... I tried this about a dozen times, with a bunch of different tutorials (all telling me the SAME THING) until I found this comment!! It's now actually DOING something!

this really saved my day..been doing this since last night and i found nothing that helped me..the unplu/plug thing really works...THANKS A LOT! you made someone really happy today :D

This NEEDS to be added to the tut. Absolutely saved the day on my 2G pod. Please get this added...it works!

this worked amazing!!

is this jail break untethered?

can you use redsn0w 0.7.2 with this?

Can't this brick ur iTouch?

I thought the jailbreak failed as the iPod touch 2.0 didn't reboot automatically and Cydia didn't appear on the home page, but it was there all along on the page to the right on the home page. Check there!

attempting 2G 3.0 JB on 10.6 ----------- I get no response after DFU. (No progress indicator change) Just hangs? Red recognizes the device (I assume, as it makes it passed dfu check) but hangs up soon after. I've tried using VM (parallels/XP) but nothing. any workarounds or other solutions besides red? (I'm not a touch guy, but I do have experience with the phone) cheers-

clarification:--------> in VM: ... Red is not recognizing the device.<-------- thanks

mi ipod is not responding at all after the redsnow finished. I'm doing the DFU stage over again but nothing happens!! Please HELP!!!!

if i don't have already purchased the OS3 from Itunes store it won't work?

thank you , thank you , thank you !!!

you need to look further in this website (iphone hack section) and install ultrasn0w via cydia in order for you to access different carriers.

????i jailbroke and it said done then it reloaded on ipod but now ipod wont turn on

Same thing with me. What is confusing is that the tutorial doesnt mention anything of what the iPod itself states ( for instance: installing binaries). Is there anyway of getting my pod working again? iTunes does not recognize it. Pressing start doesn't help, neither does Start and Home button. All black and dead.... help!

In step two: hold down shift and click the Restore button should be replaced with: hold down option and click the Restore button

I have jailbroaken my iPhone, but it cannot find any network! What should I do?

I guess doesn't work with my GM seed as it gives me unable to recognize error.
