Redsn0w for Windows

This is an old page but will be left here for reference purposes. If you wish to jailbreak, check out this page.

This is for all the Windows users who want to try and jailbreak their 2nd Gen iPod touch
*Be warned that this does take a fair amount of time, computer, and iRecovery skills.* Also Redsn0w is a tethered jailbreak. Tethered means that your iPod touch has to be jailbroken with Redsn0w every time you fully turn off your iPod. Get the untethered version here. We suggest that if you do this, that you only put it to sleep, not fully off.

1) You'll need to download XPwn.





Here is a mirror in case it doesn't work http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JDEJV065


2) Download Redsn0w.




3) Download iRecovery.





4) Take everything from the FirmwareBundles folder from rslite and drop it into the FirmwareBundles folder of Xpwn Nightly. Click on image for a larger view.



5) Copy 2.2.1 ipsw firmware bundle into the Xpwn directory and change the file name from iPod2G(2.2.1/5H11a).ipsw to OriginalFW(the ipsw file extension is already added). If you don't the 2.2.1 ipsw file, download it below.





6) In Command Prompt, cd to the Xpwn directory and do "ipsw OriginalFW.ipsw patchedFW.ipsw -s 700 bundles\Cydia.tar"

7)Put your iPod Touch into DFU mode.
Hold down the home and power button for 10 seconds. Let go of the power button while holding the home button. It will then start up.

8) Upload 2.1.1 iBSS, from a 2.1.1 ipsw. Do it by, cd to wherever iRecovery is located and run iRecovery.exe -f After uploading the iBSS you need to unplug your iPod Touch for ten seconds and plug it back in.

9) Use iRecovery.exe -s and run all of these commands, just copy and paste them.

11)Now follow the README.txt guide, found in rslite folder, but use iRecovery instead of rslite. Also instead of doing #pwn211ibss.txt run all of these commands
