How to Jailbreak the iPod Touch to 4.0 If You Used Sprint
"Jailbreaking" is a process that unlocks your iPod touch from iTunes, allowing you to install third-party software from the Cydia application store. An iPod Touch running version 4.0 of the iOS operating system can be jailbroken safely using the online JailbreakMe tool. This method also works on devices that have been jailbroken previously using either the Sprint or Spirit methods, which lose the jailbreak status if the device is restarted. Once JailbreakMe has been used, the iPod Touch will remain jailbroken even after it has been restarted.

Tips & Warnings
Once your iPod Touch has been jailbroken using JailbreakMe, you can restart it without losing the jailbreak. Restarting an iPod Touch that was jailbroken using Sprint or Spirit will require that you jailbreak the device again.
All iPod Touch devices can be jailbroken using JailbreakMe as long as they are running version 4.3.3 or lower of the iOS operating system.
If you restore or update your iPod Touch through iTunes, it will lose its jailbreak status.
