Hi. I've use my ipod touch for quite some time but still stuck in jailbroken v.1.1.1

I read the previous page but it is until v.1.1.4 only. Can it be updated until v2.1.?

or is it possible to upgrade my firmware to 2.1 using itunes and jailbreak it from there?

thanks!

Hey, thanks for replying. I'll test it once I'm with my iTunes and will update whether its successful.

Cheers.

Hmm. I'll try to answer your questions there.

1. Most of the people prefer to jailbreak their ipods to allow them install various type of applications that are unavailable in the normal apple app stores.

2. Once you jailbreak you can always search for the apps at Google. Some of the games/apps can be downloaded from iTunes for free although I've not try it.

Here is a useful website to read about.

3. First, from which I know is that you can install apps once you install the sources. There are plenty of sources from other people to be added into your Installer ( You'll get this once you jailbreak.). The sources contains all the apps that the person adds or his favorites. I'm not sure but I think apps can also be install via OpenSSH.( Its kinda like an FTP )

4.Actually, the apps can transform your ipod to a media portable device to an emulator ( play SNES or GBA games), and sure a pda too. That's when the wi-fi comes in handy.

Kindly read the first page for the details concerning jailbreaking steps and adding the apps.

Just my humble answer.

Well, about question 3. All the apps are from the Installer app. Here's a quick points.

1.Jailbreak your ipod

2.You will get an application name Installer ( Its a blue icon with some lines). Shouldn't be hard to miss it since your new ipod have a few apps on the screen.

3. Enter installer and it will automatically update. ( You must have a wireless internet connection though)

4. You will see sources, and probably some are already there.

5. Click the install button and you will find several packages. Choose any which interest you.

So, here's a screenshot I managed to find if you're still blur.

Sorry bro, can't help you with that as I'm using the 1st Gen and I bought it at the states. I think there are other authorized distributors too. You are in Kuching? Hmm

Here a site but I think the price is quite similar with the one you mention.

Yes you can , just tick on the none option. By doing this and verifying your account you will able to download the free apps. If there any chance that you're planning to buy some of the apps, they will ask for your credit card info.

There should be a none option there.



If there still no none option try updating your Itunes? Supposedly that itune 7.5 and below doesn't have the none options.

Here's a guide if you want.

Haha.

It's an easy task to upgrade the firmware. Your factory state is v1.5? Then, you better download to 2.0 firmware first. After that, its free to upgrade to v2.1.

Hi,

Hm, I'm not sure about this case. But I think you better copy the firmware file first and just copy it to your new computer. In any case that you'll need to restore to v2.1 back, just hold Shift and click restore. Choose the firmware 2.1 file.

To locate your firmware files downloaded via Itunes is like this.

Go to

# In Mac OS X, the folder is



# In Windows Vista, the folder is



# In Windows XP and Windows 2000, the folder is



Cheers

Heh. I guess there's an easy way.

Hi.

During my time in firmware 1.1.1 I used vWallpaper to allow the IpodTouch running a .wmv or .mp4 wallpaper. You can try searching in the installer for vwallpaper app. Since I've upgraded to 2.1 I'm not using it anymore, just plain background.

Cheers.

2nd gen ipod touch can't be jailbreak at the moment.

Yes, you can jailbreak it. Just search and download quickPWN. Its easy to jailbreak since it have its own GPU and just follow the steps give.

Hehe. Good to hear that. Enjoy !

You just need to install iTunes in your computer. Sync your ipod touch and just update your firmware. Don't waste your time going back to the shop. Google it is a smarter choice.

Cheers

hi. Firstly, I reckon that your iPod touch is the 2nd generation product. Unfortunately the 2nd generation iPods can't be jailbreak at the moment . And about the apps, you can just dowload from the app store from the itunes. There's a considerably amount if free apps which is usefull such as stanza(ebooks) or fring(msngr). The problem of syncing videos into the iPods is that you'll need to convert it to .mp4 file first. Try using videora iPod converter and it should be easy. Hope this helps.

Hi.

No problem. It may take a while though to convert it and it depends on the file size too. About the iTunes account you register without needing the CC option. Refer to page 30 for more information.

Cheers.
