How to jailbreak an iPod Touch

This article will tell you how to successfully jailbreak your iPod touch, using Blackra1n, a free internet download that enables you to jailbreak.

Things You'll Need

• Computer
• iPod Touch WITH 3.1.2 Firmware (required).
• iPod cord to connect to computer
• Internet Connection

Instructions

1. To start off, this article is strictly for iPods with the 3.1.2 Firmware, which is the latest software update. Also, make sure you have the 3.1.2 firmware downloaded before you do any jailbreaking.

2. This is where the actual jailbreaking starts. To get the jailbreaking program, you going to want to go to www.blackra1n.com, and proceed to download blackra1n.

3. Next, minimize your internet browser. You should see blackra1n, or blackra1n.exe on your desktop, with the icon being a black raindrop. Plug up your iPod Touch, with 3.1.2 Firmware, and iTunes should pop up.

4. Minimize or exit out of iTunes, it really does not matter which. After all the syncs are done with your iPod and everything, open up blacra1n, or blackra1n.exe (depending on what it says on your desktop). Once you have blackra1n opened, Click on the button that says "make it ra1n". Once you click this, it should take a couple minutes for your iPod to recognize it, and you should see a face on your iPod in the rain, with an iPod touch on it as well.

5. Once you have clicked "make it ra1n", just let blackra1n do its thing. You will know when it is done by the message that pops up on your screen. After that, there should be a blackra1n application on your iPod. Once the blackra1n application is on there, you have successfully jailbroken your iPod touch, and can further add things on it by adding programs such as Cydia or Rock, which can be done by downloading from the blackra1n app.

Tips & Warnings

• To make full use of your jailbroken iPod, download the programs from the blackra1n app called Cydia and Rock, as they allow you to download themes and other cool accessories.

• Make sure your iPod touch is 3.1.2 Firmware, and if you are unsure, plug up your iPod touch into your computer, and if it asks if you want a software update for your iPod, click yes (update).
