GUI for iPod Touch 1.1.2 firmware Jailbreak released
Posted on November 12th, 2007 in firmware, hack, iPhone, iPod Touch, jailbreak |
We had a proof-of-concept within what seemed like seconds of Apple releasing the v1.1.2 firmware update (it hadn’t even got to iTunes yet) but it’s taken the weekend for a working Jailbreak of the latest iPod Touch software to hit the virtual shelves. conceited software have put together a GUI for the whole process - which could require you to downgrade your PMP to v1.1.1 if you either upgraded yourself or bought an iPod Touch with the up-to-date version installed - that apparently takes around ten minutes to render your device amenable to third-party software.
Compatible with Intel-based Macs and PCs, the software first makes a backup of your data, then upgrades the Touch, installs Installer.app and SSH.app, then restores the backup to leave everything ostensibly as it was. conceited software are releasing it as a free tool, but if you appreciate their work then consider donating a few dollars to fund the next upgrade once Apple decide to throw a firmware spanner in the works again.
As ever, if you try it, let us know how you get on in the comments.

Hey,
I did this and now my Touch is stuck on the boot up screen…there is the thinking icon spinning on the Touch’s screen. It will appear and disappear over and over. Oh, and it wont let you turn it off.
It sucks!
Thats what my Touch did as well, i had to restore it to factory, maybe i needed to wait longer for the process to finish.
I don’t know but now I’m stuck running 1.1.2
I tried tried the method on this site to go downgrade but I couldn’t get it to work with my mac. Every time I try it messes up and I am forced to restore to 1.1.2 again.
what is this picture of please?
serves you guys right, boo freakin’ boo
