How to Jailbreak iPod Touch 2g 3.0 Firmware(Windows)
1.YOU MUST BE RUNNING 3.0 FIRMWARE PRIOR TO RUNNING THE redsn0w JAILBREAK. YOU MUST ALSO BE ON iTUNES 8.2 IN ORDER FOR 3.0 TO WORK.
NO SUPPORT WHEN COMING FROM 2.2.1.
2.FULL RESTORE TO 3.0 BEFORE ATTEMPTING.
Download the redsn0w 0.7.1(google it)
Extract the files and place them on your Desktop.
Locate your IPSW file for 3.0 that you got from iTunes.
Located in C:\Users\*USERNAME8\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
or wherever you have copied it to?
Right-click the Restore file and select Copy, then
Paste the Restore file anywhere on your desktop, or in the Redsn0w folder.where you will know where it is
Put your iPod into DFU mode. If iTunes pops up saying that it found an iPod in Restore mode, just exit it out. Make sure your iPod is plugged in, and your volume is turned up.
Open up your redsn0w folder, you'll see two folders. One called redsn0w-win_0.7.1. Open that folder up.
If on Windows Vista, right click and Run as Administrator. Windows XP, make sure you're on an Admin account, double click redsn0w.exe.
When redsn0w loads up you should see a "Browse" button. Click that and locate the firmware I told you to Paste on Step 5. It should "Process the firmware" and then give you "IPSW successfully identified."
Click Next, If you want Cydia, which I bet most, if not all of you do, leave it checked. Click Next, then Next if your iPod is already in DFU mode, if not do that now. Once your iPod is detected it should move onto the next step.
do what it tells you
Don't touch anything until you see the lockscreen, no user input is needed
If it ever freezes or shuts down. Just unplug, reset (hold both buttons).
and start again
took me all of 2 times,before success
