iPod Touch 2G Untethered Jailbreak
(If you don't know what untethered means than don't worry. It means less work)

For Run RS or Tethered Jailbreak - Untethered Jailbreak, see last page!!

This guide is a quick and painless way to jailbreak your iPod Touch 2G (2nd Generation).

Compliments to A.C.E: He made an instructable about the subject before me, I honestly didn't know. Mine includes tethered to untethered, though. Also a bit more organized. But if you want detail, his is the way to go. It tells you EVERYTHING.

Few Quick Notes
* I am not responsible for you screwing up. If you do than this is how to fix it. Plug your iPod into your computer. Hold down Home and Lock for 10 seconds. Don't let go of home but let go of lock. Hold home for 15 seconds. Let go. If done correctly than iTunes should alert you of an iPod in DFU mode. Hold shift and click Restore. Use the IPSW in this package to restore to factory settings. You can start over again.

* BACK UP YOUR STUFF!!! Use iTunes to back up your paid apps and AptBackup for Cydia Stuff.
