Hi there, I have been working on a GUI software for the iPod Touch 2G jailbreak, now it still needs some little manual actions which are described in the program itself.. READ ALL STEPS CAREFULLY!!
Note: You can also use this program just to boot your device, just press Next to step 5 and follow the instructions.
DOESNT Seem to work on 64bit !! SORRY (some got it working on vista)
Download Link: NEW LINK UPDATED TO VERSION 1.7!
GUI Jailbreak (1537)UPDATE: V1.2 – Download links updated

GUI Jailbreak (1537)
ok I dont get it, after “(Recovery) iPhone$” shows up on the command prompt, i dont know what to do, I pasted, but nothing happened…its been a while, is that all can I restore it with the the iPod2,1_2.2.1_5H11a_Restore thing already or what?
*waiting patiently for 1.7*
The download link has been updated.
ok so I got to step 4 again with v1.7 but after I let Itunes do its thing it says could not restore unknown error, and also is the file I’m supposed to pick really called “JailbrokenIPSW.ipsw” or not cuz mine’s always named differently
Yes you are suppose to choose that file, as far as why you are getting a different name I dont know. But no matter what when it creates the IPSW it will go on the folder where you downloaded CyW00d. Make sure you hit and old shit key and click on restore in iTunes
Here’s something crazy:
I did the whole thing with v1.7 in WinXP running in VMWare and got right up to step4 where you let iTunes do the restore, and got the error that Matt’s talking about.
(however my file was indeed named JailbrokenIPSW.ipsw)
After retrying several times with the same results, I copied all the files over to my desktop computer what’s runnin’ Windows 7 beta and picked up from step4 (all the steps before that fail in W7 because libUSB disables ALL USB ports, also the C++ package doesn’t install quite right and then it’s unable to communicate with the iPod)
Then I moved it back to WinXP to finish off from step5.
I couldn’t tell ya what that error is… Perhaps it doesn’t like being virtualized, or maybe something funny with a certain WinXP setup. I was running in a fresh install of WinXP, btw.
It’s working perfectly now, thanks lots. You guys rock.
Oh, one quick question: If you restore your iPod to the backup saved in iTunes, does it undo the jailbreak?
Thanks again.
Yes it will undo your jailbreak ! So do not resotre fro ma previous back prior to the jailbreak !
Hey i jailbroken my ipod touch but the problem is the driver. Its unrecognized. I know alot of people are going to say force the driver on it. But how?

When you installed the LibUSB program it will make it unrecognizable. You just have to put it into DFU mode. A lot of times people are counting the seconds wrong or they don’t. Press the correct buttons at the same time. Once its in DFU mode it should be fine, when you do this, make sure you have your speakers up so you can hear the chime, thats an indicator that its entering into DFU mode.
Ok i did all the steps got to the itunes part. but when i restart my ipod wont startup. anyone else tried restarting their device after successfully completing all the steps???
this is an awesome GUI!!! great job!! jailbroke my 2g with little problems. i did have to download the original 2.2.1 firmware from apple than use that to make the custom jailbroken ipsw. than i ran into what appears to be a common problem… after itunes does it’s thing my ipod wasn’t recognized!!! but after waiting a few minutes i was able to put it in DFU mode again and the computer recognized it and it was smooth sailing from there!!!
Any news on a vista version?
I’m in DFU mode but on step 3, uploading DFU file, it says “No iphone/ipod found”
I have tryed many times but it still says that.
Any one know an answer?
Update:
When my ipod is on DFU it does not show up in LibUSB test!
Any answers…?
