Is this even possible? I used the software blackra1n http://www.blackra1n.com and followed the directions but iTunes forces me to restore the iPod. Any tips?
I used redsn0w to jailbreak mine (2.2.1 firmware). I believe the 3.0 and later firmwares can be cracked using a program called yellowsn0w. Just google redsn0w and poke around on their website a bit, it should be on the homepage (as opposed to the redsn0w project page)
there are certain ipods 3g that can and can't be jailbroken yet. it has to do with the first 2 letters of the serial #. if it is MC or MB i think that it is impossible but if u do do it, the jailbreak is tethered meaning you have to rejailbreak it everytime the ipod restarts (which happens everytime you change something within cydia or winterboard) i am not positive about this but it worked fine on my ipod touch 2g but i don't want to risk it on my new 3g ipod touch.
3rd gen touches can be jailbroken but they are theatherd so whenever you turn the ipod all the way off it looses the jailbreak, or if you download an app that has to restart your ipod you will loose your jailbreak. there will be new updates so that the 3rd gens can be jailbroken but none yet i guess.
this is a ski website and we are in the non skiing part of it. you didnt need to post that. if you yelled at everyone who made a thread about something non skiing related you would never be off the computer. which i bet you are, since your post # is almost double your karma. try not being an asshole, asshole.
