iPod Touch: How to JailBreak Your 8GB iPod Touch on 1.1.4 (Might work for 16GB)

iJailBreak.com has released a jailbreak that will work for 1.1.4. Even better it will allow you to jailbreak 1.1.4 from 1.1.4! You don’t have to downgrade and then upgrade back up. The only catch here is that since it uses the ZiPhone jailbreaking method it is only supported on the 8GB iPod Touch. Of course this hasn’t stopped some with 16GB touches from giving it a try (and sometimes, yes, it actually does work!).

So if you have an 8GB iPod Touch or if you’re willing to give it a try on your 16GB version, click this link. Keep in mind that this version does not install the App Pack, so you will have to get that as well.

The process is very easy and the program will guide you all the way to the end. But if for some reason you can’t get it to Jailbreak 1.1.4 on your iPod Touch, post your problem here.

  2. James Says:

      tell me how to do it i found and ipod touch on the side of the road but i cant do nothing with it because there is an accout thing on it for itunes

    • kathryn Says:

      heey please respond.
      ive been trying all day to do mine! =/
      i downloaded the program and unzipped it or whatever
      but i dont know where to find it? its asking
      me what program i want to open it with. help!?

  3. Alex Says:

    does it work with windows users?

  4. Raquel Says:

    Yes, it works on windows or mac. This worked for my 16GB iPod Touch on 1.1.4. Took under 3 min.

  5. Ben Says:

    I tried, and it wont work…the 8GB. I used it with/without the App Pack and 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 still the same. Am i meant to leave it to reboot after a bit???? Or after the JB is it meant to go to the Unlock Screen? if its the second one….i think i did something wrong…plz help

  6. Mark Says:

    Ben, turn off unlock. That is probably messing it up. This 100% works with the 8gig, so it should work for you on 1.1.3 or 1.1.4.

  7. Jessica Says:

    I downloaded the iJailBreak for 1.1.4 and I can’t get it to open. do you jailbreak it the same as 1.1.1 in itunes? can’t figure it out!

  8. Uglyjerk Says:

    What should we do if it didn’t work on 16GB or 32GB iPod touch?

  9. Fran Says:

    will the jailbreak add the 20$ update? or will i have to add them with add?

  10. Uglyjerk Says:

    It’s not working on my iPod touch 16GB. I have restored and tried it again but this what I see:
    BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0

  11. bs Says:

    the file got blocked on my com & ipod. how do i get past it?

  12. Lupita Says:

    This jailbreak is made for the 8 gig ipod since it uses the ziphone method, but some people with the 16 gigs have it work as well. It just seems to be luck.
    This doesn’t add the iphone apps, you need to put those on yourself. The next version should have 100% 16 gig support and maybe the $20 app pack as well. There are a bunch of sources you can add now to get the pack.

  13. Azza Says:

    Erm, I downloaded the Zipped File, Unzipped it and its into 2 folders with no application? Just a bunch of files.

  14. Frankfurtsky Says:

    Raquel, How are earth did you get it working on Windows? It is a Universal Mac OS X application.
    Quite misleading!

  15. Dirk Matter Says:

    Anyone know the a good place to get the App Pack?
    Thanks on advance.

  16. xtremexxx Says:

    i dont know how to get it working all it does is show some files where is the actual application

  17. Fran Says:

    yeah theres nothin in the zip

  18. Alex Says:

    This is only for mac, but ZiPhone does work for windows as well. ZiPhone is made for the iPhone, but it does work on 8 gig iPod Touches. Once again some people have luck on the 16gb as well.
    So if your on windows you can give that a try, just remember you MUST force restore to 1.1.4, not upgrade to 1.1.4 or it won’t work.

  19. John Says:

    ZiPhone is good, but right now it says it is only for the iPhone, which is why I think it works mostly for just the 8 gig iPod Touch. I haven’t heard of anyone who has the 32 gig that has gotten it to work with ZiPhone. I Hope that ZiPhone become compatible with the 16 and 32 gb models.

    It is also worth noting, that I have gotten ZiPhone to work with my 16gb iPod Touch, so anything is possible!

  20. James Says:

    how do you force restore????

  21. dani Says:

    hi..im on 1.1.2…i have alot of apps which im afraid to upgrade to 1.1.3 or 1.1.4 or else it would all dissapear..wat should i do? took alot of time to download all the apps…need help please..

  22. dani Says:

    james..press off button together with home button..wait until cancel button comes on then let go of off button while still pressing home button..a blank screen will come on

  23. lonman06 Says:

    If you are on 1.1.2 you can jailbreak right from 1.1.2 to 1.1.4 using this source: http://ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml

  24. khai Says:

    just tried it on my 8 gig touch. now it has connection problems with itunes… anyone else has the same problem?

    i hope they release a fix soon! there’s nothing i can do with the ipod now. restore doesn’t work as well :(

  25. John Says:

    did you try a force restore khai?

  26. Keith Says:

    If some of you are having problems, this is from the ijailbreak website:

    UPDATE 2: iPod Touches jailbroken appear to be having issues syncing with iTunes, therefore we don’t recommend jailbreaking them. A version for all iPod Touches should be out soon.

    I was lucky enough to not have this problem, but if any of you do, just do a force restore and itunes should find the ipod.

  27. will Says:

    grr iv done it just loads of stuff of installer wont insall sats u need 1.1.1,1.1.2 etc lol hopefully this wil be fixed :wa
    d

  28. Carter Says:

    khai, i had the exact same problem. What i did was :
    1) plug it into iTunes
    2) hold the “Lock” and “Home” button for 15 seconds
    3) then release the lock button, then continue pressing the home button
    4) a message should come up asking to restore the iPod. Click ok/yes

  29. Carter Says:

    Also, doing something like this is a first for me, so I don’t know what to do. I just updated my iPod to 1.1.4, and downloaded and zipped the file, now what do I do with the downloaded file so i can re-jailbreak my iPod?

  30. magie Says:

    dose this work for unlocking password if you forget them

  31. Max Says:

    So this does NOT work if you have windows???

  32. frow Says:

    I jailbroke my ipod 8GB 1.1.4 and got every thing on it when i tried it on my freinds it would not work should i reinstall it or something

  33. devin Says:

    this did not work on my 16gig ipod touch running 1.1.4
    the text on the screen kept saying BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0

  34. Chris Says:

    Got some weird error message saying that itunes couldn’t connect to the ipod. ( it is 1.1.4 and a 8g) and help would be great appreciated.
    Thanks

  35. khai Says:

    (see my earlier post – i bricked my ipod)
    ok fellas, how i managed to solve it was:
    a) disconnect the cable.
    b) turn off ipod.
    c) hold on to home button
    d) connect ipod to dock / cable

    After this iTunes will say that it detects an ipod in recovery mode, and then asks you to restore.

  36. Alex Says:

    Firmware 1.1.4 Support Coming Soon! DO NOT UPGRADE NOW.

  37. Tony Says:

    If I use this, will I also loose the january upgrade apps that I just paid for?

    thanks

  38. Onoch Says:

    Does this jailbreak install the $20 Apps, if it dosen’t how do I get them, what are the features in it, I’ve got an iPod touch 8GB that I just upgraded to 1.1.4, and it’s not jailbroken

  39. Onoch Says:

    Will the icons too be able to wiggle,&can I view lyrics from songs that ‘ve lyrics added in them via iTunes

  40. Brian Says:

    devin,

    Same happened to me….how did you solve it…I can’t even sync with Itines ..seems to be bricked

  41. erik Says:

    how u dooo??????? i downlad the jailbreak but i dont kno what to do next it work with windows

  42. Axel Says:

    So, if i ugraded my jailbroken 16g 1.1.3 to 1.1.4 and then erased all of my data would this method still work?

  43. lonman06 Says:

    Use this method everyone, it works great!
    http://lonman06.com/2008/03/06/ipod-touch-jailbreak-114-on-8gb-or-16gb-confirmed/

  44. devin Says:

    ok brian this is what you do,
    first forcefully turn ur itouch off
    then disconnect it from your computer
    then hold on to the power button and the home button at the same time, until u see the apple logo on ur itouch, then let go off the power button but KEEP holding on to the home button. You will see the itunes logo and the connect wire on ur itouch. Connect it back 2 ur computer and re-sync it with itunes.
    itouch’s dont get bricked so easy because they have a real operating system, not something shity like psp
