iPod Touch Firmware v1.1.1 Jailbreak Hacks

Posted by Patrick on October 10th, 2007 at 11:45pm

Although Apple took extreme measures to lock out third party iPhone/iPod touch native programmers with the recent firmware v1.1.1, the #iPhone-dev iPhone programmer-hackers’ community has already cracked the “almost unbreakable” iPod Touch OSX file system; though it remains to be seen whether these iPod Touch jailbreak hacks work fully or not.

As it was mentioned before, Apple iPod Touch is essentially based on the same hardware and can run the same third party native programs as the Apple iPhone, but the recent iPod Touch firmware upgrade took this ability away.

After hundreds of hours of work invested into this, #iphone-dev folks came up with two ways to jailbreak the v1.1.1 firmware iPod Touch devices:

#1: (earlier released hack) is done via a TIFF image file exploit in current Safari version (and people don’t like hackers for some reason….). This was tested and proved to be working with Apple iPod Touch.
#2: (latest hack) is via a native program that one needs to upload onto his iPod Touch. We could not independently confirm whether this method works with all iPod Touch devices.
