Please wait while your device is being processed.
Waiting for reboot …..
… and nothing happened after …..
Made it work

God bless Redsn0w :)
After a lot of messing around (thinking i’d bought a secondhand 3G and it turned out to be 2G)
Redsn0w seemed to do the trick.
For those Windows 7 peeps out there, you can find the apple downloaded firmware file at:
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
I ran it in XP SP3 compatability mode and it’s all good.
hi it stuck on waiting for reboot , i have ipod 2g MC model …if anyone knows the solution please send me an email : [email protected]
mines stuck on reboot :(
waiting……(20 mins later) still waiting
how long do i have to wait?
this works, as long as it’s not MC model. mines MB, and it worked out great! i love this, iused all redsnow, and they work great if you read the instrutions. P.S., it’ll usally say whether it works or not on MC models.
“NOTE : Non MC Models only.” It says that at the beginning!
How long do you have to wait for it to reboot? Are we talking hours or just a couple of minutes?
i can’t find the ipsw file in the 4.1 map that i downloaded
mine is not turing on, is it on reboot and how long will it take???
Ok the guys who say it works… which version of windows are you guys using? …is the itunes running while you perform the jailbreak process?
OK : Answers to my own post earlier :
I was successful doing jailbreak of IpodTouch 2G finally. The Windows version did matter in my case. While trying to do it on Vista it did not work. I tried on Windows XP, it works. I did install the latest version of itunes on the PC where I tried jailbreaking successfully (I am not sure if it mattered).
Next for guys who had questions about rebooting at the final stage, it takes about couple minutes and you will not see blank screen but “Jailbreaking process going on” written with an image of a harddisk or something on you iPod Touch screen.
Good Luck guys !!!
Well i have tried this over and over…..
I have a question…… Are you supposed to restore on ITUNES afterwards.
Plz EMAIL me if u no the answer… [email protected]
WORKS FINE GUYS!!!
didn’t have any problems.. just finished xD
PS: worked with vista and itunes 10.1
works perfectly.
i spend a few days trying everything else out and its a first one which 100% works.
key point is setup XPSP3 compatibility in Windows 7.
thanks
Is it tethered?????
i failed on the first try, it stopped when “waiting for reboot”. then i tried it again, and it worked! my itouch is 2nd gen, MB model not MC, and i use windows xp
first try didnt work for me, running windows 7 x64, pressed power and home for about 8 seconds for it to reboot then ran redsn0w with run as administrator and it worked fine
where is the link to download!
