Yup, that happens quite a lot if your connection isn't really a good one. If you come accross frozen downloads, or errors like "POSIX" and all, don't worry, nothing is messed up.

chinti, booting into DFU mode isn't hard at all. Follow the instructions that are clearly stated in QuickFreedom, Untetherizer and a few other jailbreaking GUI's, and you wouldn't or shouldn't rather, face any problems booting your unit into DFU mode. Also, a little googling would do a lot of help. I googled a lot on booting into DFU mode before jailbreaking my unit. I was so sure on how to do it, but yet, i made one mistake haha

Anyways, congratulations on jailbreaking your iPod Touch 2G, and also, welcome here

Mate, read the first page of this topic. Jailbreaking iPod Touches has nothing to do with iPhones

The first page explains EVERYTHING you need to know about jailbreaking iPod Touch units.

Thats a common error in Cydia man, don't worry about it. It's just your wi-fi connection. It most probably is unstable or slow etc

Any tool, whatever you like. I used QuickFreedom because i saw many video tutorials on it, and i was pretty familiar with it's GUI even before downloading the .exe file, so it all basically depends on your liking.

Nope, read the first post by bryanyeo in this thread. There's a short guide for Vista users. Make sure you follow it or else you may encounter unwanted problems after running the tool

Yea, i used QuickFreedom and it went really well too.

Wow, that must have been one hell of a jailbreak!

Great!

Look about this forum, and you'll find plenty of cool stuff to do with your jailbroken unit

That, if you ask me, is a little unfair

Around $6, grr

Read the first post mate. By reading it, you would be able to know what you would be able to do with a jailbroken unit. Also, you can look at the iPhone section for the "Winterboard [THEMES] thread" and the "Cydia Apps" thread. But of course, read the first page first

Ah this is some great news! Time to look into it. Thanks for the updates guys!

Yes, you're right. Official then jailbreak. Just follow the guide, everything should be fine mate

Added on June 24, 2009, 2:13 pmI don't think it has anything to do with the firmware stability, i feel it's just a business trick or technique rather. I mean, when someone goes around saying "Dude, OS3 has bluetooth!" I'm sure most of us will go frenzy, and we would immediately buy the OS which is pretty good for Apple. This may not be true at all, as it's just my humble opinion

Well, you can perform some additional functions on your unit like using themes and so on. A simple search would have given you a good, detailed answer mate

What don't you get? Try reading more carefully, it might help you someway.

Cydia, mate, try searching for answers around the forums. If you don't get any, then use google of course. Answers can be given directly to you, definitely, but doing so would result you in being lazy to actually search for answers and methods to solve a simple problem. No offense mate

Anyways, here's a good explanation : http://www.findmysoft.com/news/Cydia-App-S...ed-iPhone-Apps/

Content in Cydia is free really, it's just that Saurik, the developer of Cydia figured that all the hardworking app devs deserve more than just a word of "thanks" so he updated it to allow developers to sell apps via it. Tons of free content in there though

That is up to you. If you wish to remain on 2.2.1, then just follow the guide on jailbreaking it (If you haven't done so yet). If you want 3.0 instead (Newer and has more functions), follow the guide on upgrading and jailbreaking it. Good luck

Bro, read properly and carefully. There are guides and links on how to jailbreak 2.2.1 iPods.

Yup, it's normal. Nothing to worry about

Yes to all. Jailbreaking just adds more functionalities to your unit, and doesn't remove anything important. You can enjoy content from the app store etc without any flaw.
