These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPod Touch 6G, 5G on iOS 8.1.3 - iOS 8.4 using PP 2 for Mac OS X.

If you aren't already at iOS 8.4 we suggest upgrading to the latest firmware using iTunes. You can find download links for iOS 8.4 here. We've also posted instructions on how to update the firmware of your iPod. Please note that you must update using iTunes rather than Software Update. If you used Software Update you should do a backup then restore to iOS 8.4 using iTunes.

Step One
Download the latest version of PP 2 then double click the dmg to mount it.


Drag and drop the PP application icon onto the Applications folder shortcut.


Step Two
Tap Settings from your Springboard then select Touch ID & Passcode. Turn Passcode Off if it is enabled.


Step Three
Press the Settings button at the top left to return to the Settings menu. Choose iCloud from the Settings menu then select Find My iPod touch from the iCloud menu. Ensure the Find My iPod touch switch is the Off position.


*You may also want to put your device in Airplane Mode but it should not be necessary.

Step Four
Connect your iPod touch to the computer via a USB cable, launch iTunes, and perform a manual backup. It is very important that you remember to backup your device before continuing as you could lose your data if the jailbreak process does not complete successfully.

Step Five
Right click or hold down control and click the PP jailbreak icon from the Applications folder on your Mac then click Open to launch the application.


Step Six
You will notice the device is detected by the software. Uncheck the checkbox at the bottom left of the window then click the large Jailbreak button in the middle of window to begin your jailbreak.


Step Seven
Click the large Continue button to right to confirm you've disabled Find My iPhone and Touch ID.


Step Eight
The PP app will now begin the jailbreak process.




Step Nine
Once the jailbreak has completed successfully, you will be shown a green checkmark, your iPhone will reboot and a Cydia app will appear on your Springboard. Congratulations, you're now jailbroken!




*A big thanks to all those who contributed to this jailbreak.
