hi Rizal,

1. Yes. It’s applicable to iPod Touch 1G.
2. Cydia will be installed during jailbreak/upgrade process, provided that you select it
3. just select Cydia. There’s some known problems if you select Icy (please check my other post about it). And Unlock is only for iPhone, not iPod

Dear Mr. Roslan.

1. Does this steps goes the same for Apple Ipod Touch 1G too?
2. Must I upgrade my Ipod Touch 1G to firmware 3.0 to install Cydia?
3. At step 6, for my Ipod can I only install cydia or must I install all 3 (cydia, icy and unlock).

Sorry I am not an IT person, really need your help.

Appreciate if you could email me (Rexelkillerbee@gmail.com) step by step manual.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you
chiow…

However after following Nick’s guide, which I repeated the whole tutorial, the Downloading Jailbreaking Data… msg came out but not as long as earlier experience. Subsequently a pineapple appeared, and I’ve now got 3.0 firmware on.

I got stucked at downloading jailbreaking data…. for 20 mins. Now it’s done. A pic showing USB cable below iTunes appears on my iphone screen. What should I do ? Tq.

If you have an iPhone 3G, you should not tick the unlocking box in redsn0w as you got to use ultrasn0w to unlock you iPhone 3G.
Don’t quote me on that, but I think that how it should word.

For anyone having the problem where the the screen gets hung on “Downloading Jailbreak Data…” this is turning out to be a common problem when I researched this.

The fix is to first upgrade your iphone firmware to 3.0 using the .ipsw file you downloaded in this tutorial. Open iTunes, select your iPhone and hold down the shift key while clicking the ‘Restore’ button. Point it to the .ipsw file you downloaded.

Let iTunes restore it.. then start this tutorial from the start. My 2g iPhone (1st generation) is now loaded with jailbroke/unlocked 3.0 firmware.

Time to go do a hand stand now.

Hi John,
I’m sorry to hear that. As explained, the next step after step7 (entering the DFU mode) is the most crucial part of the whole process. I hope you had fully understand and exactly follow the instructions. The first time i did the upgrade from 1.4 to 2.1, i failed miserably when it came to this part because have to shift my fingers between Home & Power buttons. Some practice would help.

Did redsn0w give you any error message before it closed? I’m browsing the internet now, just in case, to see whether anybody else had the same problem. So far most of the upgrade problems are when people upgrade using earlier redsn0w version 0.7.1
