Before the official release of the iPod Touch & iPhone firmware, a jailbreak for the Touch has already been released! Erica Sadun over at
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) has figured out a way to hack the iPod Touch. She has posted an article at
this link.
According to Erica Sadun, all Apps are reported to be working in the iPod Touch under the 1.1.2 firmware.
This picture proves that the iPod Touch has been jailbreaked. It could have been photoshopped, but TUAW is a reputable Apple blog. The screenshot proves that the iPod Touch has been jailbreaked due to the fact that the screenshot App was installed in the new firmare and used to upload the screenshot.
Here is how the jailbreak for version 1.1.2 works:
1. Go to Installer, and install the OktoPrep package.
2. Upgrade your iPod Touch to version 1.1.2 through iTunes.
3. Use the GUI application developed by TUAW.
(NOT RELEASED YET!)I will update the blog once the GUI application for unlocking the iPhone/iPod Touch has been released. Right now you have to just wait. You can do steps 1 & 2, but once you upgrade to the new firmware, you won't be able to access your applications/springboard that you installed on 1.1.1. It is still THERE, but you have to wait for the GUI Appplication to be released. Once it's released then you can finish the jailbreaking process. Good luck!
