Well it looks like we are very close now to a real jailbreak for the iPod Touch. Hours ago a working jailbreak was released for 1.1.3 for the iPhone. I know a lot of you are wondering “what would happen if I tried to install this on my iPod Touch?”
That is a tricky question. I have been looking around on various forums and some “claim” they are having luck while others say it has bricked their iPod. I have yet to see pictures proving that this method has truly worked for some with their iPod Touch. If/once I find pictures confirming this I will post them.
Below are the step by step instructions taken from the site which posted them. If you are brave and want to give it a try make sure you back up everything first!
For anyone that gives it a shot please post your results here for the rest of us. For those who want to wait for a confirmed method, keep checking back for updates.
This jailbreak, like the 1.1.2 jailbreak, comes as an upgrade. This means you need to have a 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 jailbroken phone already, before you can begin.
Update – unlocked phones appear to remain unlocked and work properly after the update, according to scattered reports.
MAC VERSION – Download the 1.1.3 package maker and open it, then run Run_This. Read carefully, press Enter when necessary, and the image will be uploaded to your phone.
Here’s how you do it:
- Start with a 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 jailbroken phone with Installer.app installed.
- Plug in your phone via USB to your computer.
- Download, extract, and run iBrickr Special 1.1.3 jailbreak edition (ibrickr.exe in the archive).
- iBrickr will determine what firmware you are running on your phone and make sure you can run the update.
- iBrickr will then guide you through the process of obtaining and modifying the 1.1.3 firmware (make sure to read everything thoroughly).
- iBrickr will upload the new firmware image to your phone. Note that this only puts the file on your phone and does not modify it at all, yet.
- When iBrickr finishes (should take about 10 minutes), it will tell you to go to Installer and install the “1.1.3 soft upgrade” package. Do that.
- When the installer finishes (this should take another 10-15 minutes), your phone should reboot with a fresh activated 1.1.3 firmware.
I’ll be posting a video tutorial on Gear Live’s Bleeding Edge real soon, so watch for that!

This jailbreak works for iPhone 1.1.3, but it can also be carried out on an iPod Touch. While it is not easy to do this way, many have gotten it done. I think most will opt to wait for a easier jailbreak method, which hopefully will arrive shortly.
But like I said if you’re brave enough and willing to give it a try, please make sure you back up just incase you are forced to restore.
