Jailbreak iPod Touch 3G on iOS 5.0 using Redsn0w on Mac

By on November 22, 2011 in iPod Touch 3G
This is currently a semi-tethered jailbreak. This means that once your iPhone is shut off or restarted, you will need to hook it up to a computer to have the jailbreaking functionality turned back on.

Requirements for this guide:

1. An iPod Touch 3G running on iOS 5.0 (If you do not have iOS 5.0, you can download it from the PwnMyI Firmware Downloader.)


Download: Redsn0w 0.9.9b8
1318 downloads

3. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes.

Step 1: Organizing & Extracting

Double click on Redsn0w.zip to extract it.

 

Step 2: Jailbreaking 

Open up the Redsn0w.app and select “Jailbreak”. On the next screen, select “Install Cydia”. Follow the steps through DFU mode, and then Redsn0w will apply the jailbreak.

Step 3: Booting Tethered

You will need to perform this action every time your device is switched off or rebooted.

When the jailbreak has finished, you will need to boot tethered. Launch Redsn0w again, and select “Extras”. Click on “Just Boot” and then follow the on screen instructions.

Step 4: Installing the Semi-tethered tweak (optional)

With this tweak, you will be able to reboot your tether-jailbroken device on the go even without a PC or a Mac. However, you will not be able to use Mail, Safari and Cydia untill you boot the device back into a tethered jailbroken state using Redsn0w.

The first step to installing this tweak, is to start Cydia, then go to “Manage” (in the bottom black bar), the “Sources”, and add “http://thebigboss.org/semitether” as repository on Cydia.

When the repository is done being added, look for the “Search” tab (in the bottom black bar) and search for “SemiTether” package on Cydia and install it. After this is complete, you are done!
