How To Jailbreak iPod Touch with 1.1.4 and Ziphone

Ziphone 3.0 has come out and works perfectly while installing the January update apps as well. You can use the instructions outlined here with Ziphone 3.0. Read more about Ziphone 3.0 here

How To Jailbreak 1.1.4 iPod Touch :

We are going to outline the way to jailbreak your iPod Touch. Below you will notice a photo of our iPod Touch with the Installer application.

Please have no other programs open other than iTunes and your Internet browser if necessary.

In order to jailbreak without any issues we are going to restore our iPod Touch to 1.1.4. So we hold the Option button down and click the Restore button (Hold Shift and click Restore on a Windows PC). This will bring up the different versions available. If you do not have 1.1.4, click here to download it.

We have made an instructional video to go along with written tutorial here. The video is displayed below or can be found here .

Table of Contents:

The order of the process is:

1.   Restore iPod Touch to 1.1.4
2.   Jailbreak iPod Touch
3.   Restore or Newly Setup up iPod Touch
4.   Clear NVRAM

1. Restore iPod Touch to 1.1.4

Below we have outlined the restore procedure:

Prepare iPod Touch for Restore.

Restoring iPod Touch software.

Verifying iPod Touch restore.

Restoring iPod Touch firmware.

iPod Touch has been restored and is restarting, Clck the “OK” button.

2. Jailbreak iPod Touch

After your iPod Touch has been restored you will be prompted with the “Set Up Your iPod” screen. You can leave your iPod Touch connected to iTunes and your Mac/PC. Download Ziphone’s newest release 2.6b and open the program.

Note the following print screens are all from a Mac OS X Operating System. The process should be identical in Windows. Stay tuned as we provide a further update for Windows users if there are actual changes.

You can see we have Ziphone 2.6 open and the iPod Touch at the home screen just so you can see it is up, on connected and working. Simply click “Jailbreak iPod Touch “ and let the application start the work for you.

You will notice that the iPod Touch is removed from iTunes and then re-appears with a warning of an iPod in restore mode. You can simply click “OK” and just ignore it as that is the only time it will happen.

You can click the Apple and Tab button on a Mac or the Alt and Tab buttons on a PC to cycle through and pull Ziphone to the front again. You may notice the area where it was stuck previously getting the BSD error and now going forward with the hack.

Still with Ziphone working your iPod Touch will restart.

After restarting you will notice Ziphone has finished and your fantastic iPod Touch is now functional once again. The blue text on Ziphone’s application reaffirms it’s completion. You can now shut down Ziphone.

Sliding the arrow across to unlock you will now notice the “Installer” application on your iPod Touch.

3. Restore or Newly Setup up iPod Touch

We can now go back to iTunes and finish setting up our iPod Touch. You can restore from a previous backup or create a new is for your iPod Touch. We chose to restore from previous.

The restore process takes a few mintues.

Upon restoration being complete you will notice the iPod Touch will restart again.

Upon restoration completion you can slide it to unlock once again and you will notice the Installer application and a shortcut to Ziphone’s Blog.

The shortcut icon to Ziphone may seem like nuisance at first, but if you have any problems, you can quickly check Ziphone's site from the click of the button, or you can always check back here at Oscot.

You should now restore your iPod Touch and let it sync, stay tuned as we are preparing another article to address all the issues and quirks to be worked out once it is jailbroken and synced.

4. Clear NVRAM

If you have the Spamming AT or the BSD Error message you can simply restore using the process outlined here. You can also try Ziphone’s process for clearing the NVRAM. And then Jailbreaking the iPod Touch.

To clear the NVRAM on your iPod Touch simply click File -> Clear NVRAM within the program window for Ziphone.

After you have jailbroken your iPod Touch, please follow the instructions here .

ZiPhone
written by chad , March 27, 2008

it worked for my 16 g first try, but even on the other version when i got it to work my itouch would freeze and crash and just freeze a lot when it was jailbroken... i ended up restoring it. It was really bad. at one point it just stayed at the apple logo and shut off.

That's ok Ricardo I did a little research and I found a little program something like Ziphone,but this one is called iJailbreak and it worked the first try wow!,I counld'nt even believe a 13 year old kid came up with the idea for iJailbreak even the whole jailbreaking idea that kid is a genus I had to donate to his program.I'm sorry I had to delete Ziphone from my whole computer it was not working at all and I did everything you said, but thanks for making a program like Ziphone if it wasnt for Ziphone I wouldnt have came across ijailbreak!

Thanks again Ricardo but still no luck with the mail,notes, maps and stock apps.
I tried to clear NVRAM settings two times is there a way you can just install them,because everything else is working fine.

No apps?
written by Ricardo , March 19, 2008

If you have successfully Jailbroken your iPod Touch and do not see the applications there there are some options to try. Clear the NVRAM and try to jailbreak your iPod from the beginning again. If you still have problems, let us know here.
