Numberzz Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I am beginning to think that Apple isn't trying. The iPod touch with version 1.1.2 has already been jailbroken. Here is the first screenshot of the jailbroken device. More details are coming on the new way to jailbreak the touch screen devices.

waradmin Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Yay, Now I am for sure getting one for christmas. Would you prefer apple make it so they cant be modified like this? Apple said they are not going to intentionally break jailbroken devices. They realize that the ability to modify them is resulting in MUCH higher sales than if they were to protect against it. People have said "I didn't realize how boring the iPhone was until I used it without modifications". Increased Sales = Happy Apple, they will likely never remove this ability.

NatMusak Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Considering the iPhone SDK will be released in about a month and a half, Apple won't have to deal with people hacking their iPhones much longer. So, perhaps it's not that surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berzerker Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 How exactly is the iPod jailbroken? I tried doing it from 1.1.1 and I just get a crashing loop when I boot it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mebster Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Sorry to ask a dumb question but exactly what is jailbreaking an iPhone or iPod Touch? I couldn't really find a lot of clear information on and it so was hoping someone would quickly explain. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarmeB Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 where i can find a guide to jailbreak my ipodtouch from windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numberzz Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 It puts the iPhone/iPod touch in a state where files from apps other than iTunes can be written to them. This allows ringtones or other apps to be installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Fogge Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 The iPods and iPhones have their full filesystem that it can access and then a "user" area that you can normally access for putting things like Music, Video, Pictures and the like on. The idea here is to prevent the user from being able to access the iPod/iPhone OS area. What Jailbreaking does is it allows one to access the OS area instead of just being limited to the user area. This is a very simplistic answer that glosses over most of what is really happening, but hopefully it will set the record strait for some of the newer members.

Thats a pretty good answer if you ask me, well summed up and dumbed-down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asap18 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Yep, running 1.1.2 jail broken on iPhone right now. Only thing is we have to add code to springboard for the paging stuff because Apple seems to have *cough* removed it *cough*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the SDK will give hackers more info on the iPhone/iPod touch frameworks, or maybe it will present other, easier ways for them to implement their apps.
