  • Answer:

    I have jailbroken my iPod Touch 2nd gen 8gb and it's the best decision I've ever made. If you have trouble plugging the toaster in every morning then maybe it's not for you, but it really couldn't be simpler. I used QuickFreedom and it worked fine for me. No problems at all for me. If you really don't know what to do at all, go to Youtube and look it up. There is a lot of videos on there that tell you exactly what to do. Of course since you are no longer using official Apple licensed software, there are going to be drawbacks. Mine seems to run a little bit slower but it doesn't make that much of a difference. And when you weigh it up with all the good parts, there no comparison. The most obvious drawback is that it voids your apple warranty, but if you screw it up and it needs to go back to apple, if it's not to bad you can reset it using iTunes and Apple will never know. Hope I've helped. };-)

There's not much chance that you'll actually brick your ipod, I haven't seen any cases so far since the release of "QuickFreedom" QuickFreedom is currently (In my knowledge) the only "untethered" jailbreak. Untethered meaning that you don't need to connect to the computer every time you try rebooting. QuickFreedom is from this site: http://quickfreedom.com/ QuickFreedom This is the tutorial, the source is in the source part. Here is the Jailbreak for the Second Generation iPod Touch: Untethered! (For XP + Vista) It is simple to Jailbreak you iPod with QuickFreedom. This tutorial is very detailed and not for everyone. If you are even remotely computer savvy then it will be a breeze. QuickFreedom does a good job of explaining everything. If you still don’t know how to, here you go: 1. Click Here to download the installer. 2. Double click the installer now located in your download folder 3. Install QuickFreedom by clicking next through the installer. 4. Open QuickFreedom (looks like the image above). 5. Click Jailbreak. * The next page will check to see if LIBUSB has been installed. If it has then you should see a green check, if it has not then click the install button to the right. * The Same applies for the the Original Firmware 2.2.1. If you don’t have the firmware already installed click Download. Then Browse to find it in your download folder. 8. Once both have been installed click Next. 9. Check Install Installer (recommended). Check Use Custom Boot Logo (if you want a custom boot logo). * Once Checked, a window should open asking you what type of boot logo you want. You can also use your own custom boot logo here as well. 10. Click Create Firmware. * Takes about 5 minutes depending on your specs. * A window should pop up saying, “Your ipsw has been completed and patched successfuly”. * Click OK * You should also see that you now have a new Custom Firmware.ipsw on your desktop. 11. Click Next. 12. Connect your iPod to the computer and put your iPod into DFU mode. * If you don’t know how, follow the instructions by clicking DFU Instructions. * After doing so the log should state, ” iPod Connected in DFU Mode, Press Start-Prejailbreak“. * If for any reason it says, “iPod not found” just unplug your iPod and plug it back in. 13. Press Start Pre-Jailbreak. * Your iPod should Turn White. * A window should pop up saying, ” iPod successfully put into Pre-Jailbreak Mode. Now restore your custom firmware in iTunes. This file is located on your desktop“. * Click OK. 14. Click Next. 15. It will tell you how to restore you custom firmware. Do this by: * Opening iTunes. * Hold Shift & click Restore. * A browse window will open. * In the browse window, find the Custom Firmware.ipsw located on your desktop. Click it. * Click Open. 16. Your iPod will now restore. 17. After this a iTunes window will open telling you it has been restored and that it is now restarting. 18. iTunes will now ask you to setup the iPod. 19. You have now Jailbroken your iPod Touch Second Generation! 20. Congrats!!!

I don't think jailbreaking will destroy your ipod. matter of fact, I just jailbroke my several hours ago and there are so many things you can do once it's jailbroken. Even if you manage to brick your ipod, I'm pretty sure you can restore it.

NONO

having to jailbreak to get apps was what had to happen back in the days of the 1G iPod touch and the 1.x firmware you can select from and sync over 25,000 apps, not jailbreak necessary
