To save a lot of confusion for people, this how to is NOT correct.
If you're running 4.1 on a 2nd generation, this will NOT work. This is why your loader app won't open. This jailbreak isn't for 2nd generation. Any other generation you should be okay. If you have 4.1 on a 2nd gen, update to 4.2 and then jailbreak using greenpois0n.

TL;DR Greenpois0n will NOTNOTNOT jailbreak your 2nd generation 4.1 Touch.

I tried this and the greenpoison downloaded on my iPod perfect but I tried to get cydia on the loader and it shows the cydia app on my iPod but it does not work, I tap on it and it goes white then goes right back to the home screen in a split second and I can’t find a way to fix it.

I downloaded it and did everything correctly. Just wondering if I am though. Is there supposed to be a screen with a bunch of very small white words and stuff? And my iPod wont come off of that screen. :(
