to me, i think it has nothing to do with which batch of production, most importantly
is the iPod Touch Firmware (v1.1.1), Internet connection....
all these make it works !

hope you will overcome this problems...

finally got it jailbroken via jailbreakme.com *phew*
but rather than going to the main page itself, i loaded the actual download's URL instead : jailbreakme.com/files/y.tiff (if i remembered it right)
worked on 1st (re)try

hit another couple of snags during the actual jailbreak tho...

1) windows.bat did not run
- Rather, the MS-DOS Command Prompt came up for a split second & closed in a split second
- Solution : i realised that it was cos i didn't have the latest Java (v6.3) installed in my computer...apparently installing it into Firefox doesn't count in Windows Land. gotta install on IE. pffft.

2) "Cannot connect to device.....................blahblahblah restart computer blahblahblah"
- I followed ipodtouchmaster's video step by step, closed iTunes & killed all the related processes (AppleMobileDevices, iTunesHelper, iPodService), even restarted the computer as advised by the error message...no dice
- Solution : everything went fine & jailbreak succeeded...when i did not check on "Install SSH", though in the video he said to check that option.

so now my question is...what's the "Install SSH" for? so far, all my 3rd party apps work fine as far as i can tell. though i can't figure out how TTR works. i tried the iPhone apps like Mail & Google Maps, both work too.

Install ssh, will install secure shell protocol in ur ipod, this is use when you want to transfer manually files (themes,apps) into your touch using cuteftp for example. Otherwise you will get error like "connection refused".Anyway you can install openssh from the installer.

does anyone know how to use the ad-hoc network using window vista? i am using vista and a router at home. i created the ad-hoc network and my ipod touch can detect and join this network, but it doesnt seem to have access to internet although i have enable the internet access sharing...hope to hear from the ipod GURU here

oh, ok...thanks for the explanation. i saw the OpenSSH in Installer. but not sure what it does so don't dare to install.

what do you mean by internet access sharing, is it ICS (Internet Connection sharing)?If you using wireless broadband router just connect your adsl modem to you router WAN port. The modem should in bridge mode.Setup all your adsl password and username in the router.

unfortunately i am not using a wireless broadband router. it is just a modem + router

sorry for noob question.
Look fantastic after jailbreak the iPod touch.

Will the warranty void after jailbreak?

No it does not.. Read a few pages back..

Finally manage to change the "Slide to unlock" text.. Old one is too crappy!!

hahahhaa.... i've also changed mine few days back only.
it's located at \System\Library\CoreServies\SpringBoards.apps\English.lproj\StringBoard.string if i'm not wrong....
it's kinda cool... change it to whatever we want !

May be this week.. i'll try to change the CHARGING image.... if only successful. I prefer to do it manual way rather
than using CUSTOMIZE to change it.

Still trying to figure it out first before actually change it....

You may need to have an Wireless Access Point (AP), then configure it and then you will
be able to connect to Internet using your iPod Touch WiFi features.

Note : You need a WiFi modem router / Modem Router+AP if yours is NOT wireless modem router, hope this helps.

Yeah you can definitely change it. If you managed to change your Slide To Unlock text, it wouldn't be hard to change the battery indicator.

any other things to change ? Hmm....
any cool Apps to recommend ?

actually it does leh...but as long as you remember to reset the iPod before bringing it in to the service centre (if possible), i.e. revert to factory setting to get rid of the jailbreak stuff. then you'll be fine. if Apple finds out you've jailbroken the set, then they can choose to not fix the iPod. or they will fix it, but at a price.

Your warranty will void if they find out, enough said.

Heard that Apple will be releasing an update allowing for legal and non-warranty-voiding installation of third party applications through iTunes... so we nonid risk to jailbreak it la...

They will release SDK tools for developers to develop new apps for iPhone & iPod touch on Feb 2008. There's still no news about free apps officially and legally by Apple, maybe we have to pay.

IC. Thanks Mike for make it clear!
Anywhere, is jailbreak 100% success here? Restore will recover everything to default? For New ipod which have 1.1.2 firmware,r thy must to downgrade it before jailbreak?

Really stupid question. After jailbreaking to 1.1.2, do we still need to install summerboard?

what do u mean tat?

i think "really stupid question" is meant for his own Question i assume.
