Jailbreak iPod Touch 3G 4.1 on Windows with sn0wbreeze 2.0.1

Sn0wbreeze 2.0.1 is available for users to jailbreak their iPod Touch 3G running 4.1 firmware. It is really useful for those who can’t use redsn0w 0.9.6 because there it only supports iPod Touch 2G. Sn0wbreeze 2.0.1 will devise a custom firmware which will be later restored to iPod Touch 3G.

Requirement: iPod Touch 3G must be Jailbroken on 3.1.2 firmware

Here is an illustration to assist you in preparing a custom 4.1 firmware for iPod Touch 3G and later restoring it to iPod Touch 3G which will eventually jailbreak iPod Touch 3G 4.1.

  1. Make sure latest iTunes is installed already. [Link]
  2. Grab sn0wbreeze 2.0.1 and 4.1 firmware for iPod Touch 3G.
  3. Launch sn0wbreeze 2.0.1 and select “Expert Mode”.
  4. Select 4.1 firmware for iPod Touch 3G which was grabbed in second step.
  5. Make sure that “Use iBooty Method” is selected under General Category.
  6. Finally, sn0wbreeze will start making custom 4.1 firmware and will inform when it is “Done”.

Connect your iPod Touch 3G to the computer and launch iTunes. Select your iPod Touch from the sidebar. Hold “Shift Key” and click on “Restore”. Now locate the custom iPod Touch4.1 prepared by s0nwbreeze. You are done with your part. Rest will be done by iTunes.

You have a jailbroken iPod Touch 3G 4.1 running. The other guides will be soon provided. iPod Touch4, iPod Touch 4G, and iPad users have no luck. They have to wait for Greenpois0n.

Here are the guides on how to proceed

So did this work for anyone? I have an iPod Touch 3g, which shipped with 4.0.2, which I then upgraded to 4.1. Should I try this or no? (The reason I ask is because when running sn0wbreeze it states that they won't be responsible for damages to any devices. Would I run the risk of messing up my iPod?)

Don\’t try this if you are on 4.1

When will sn0wbreeze or any other jailbreak, work for firmware 3.1.3-4.0.2 to custom 4.1 firmware?

Or a jailbreak that actually jailbreaks 4.1?

When i am trying to put the jailbroken 4.1 (made by snowbrz2.1) it gives the 1604 error".

So it does not work if you have not jailbroken your ipod earlier!
