iPod Touch: New Way of Jailbreaking 1.1.4 For Windows Users

It seems that 1.1.4 has a mind of its own when it comes to Jailbreaking. Some people get it the first time, while others try time and time again and still don’t receive positive results. I recently came across this new method of jailbreaking which supposedly runs a modified version of ZiPhone. So for those who couldn’t get the method posted here to work, why not give this one a try?

Here is exactly what you need to do for this method: (There is a video after these steps as well)

1. Restore your iPod Touch to 1.1.4.

2. Once you have restored, be sure to keep iTunes open.

3. Download the JailBreak file and extract it.

4. Once the file has been extracted, double click on jailbreak.bat

5. You will see several windows pop up on your computer screen as well as the typical ZiPhone white font on your iPod Touch screen.

6. Your iPod Touch will reboot.

7. Don’t touch the mouse or keyboard until you see a black screen which says that your ipod is now jailbroken.

8. Press any key on your keyboard once you see the above message.

9. You should now see installer on your iPod Touch home screen. Head over to this post for a repo/source that will install the iPhone Apps.

10. 1.1.4 Jailbreak! You’re done!

Post any problems here.

  29. qwert Says:

    i had same problem but it can be fixed ok
    1. make sure your i tuch is plugged in and your itunes is running (it should still have text scrolling all around)
    2. hold power and home buttons until your ipod turns off
    3. then let go of the power button but continue to hold home
    4.hold until eventually itunes will pick up your ipod (you may have to hold down home button for up to 45 sec.)
    5.from there simply hit restore

  58. sam Says:

    If I jailbreak my iPod Touch (1.1.4) w/iTunes purchased software, will I lose the software (Mail, Stocks, Maps, Weather) and will I still be able to put music and video on it? Also, will I lose any music and video I’ve already put on it?

  59. jaydub Says:

    for those whose was stuck on the bsd root error, just hold the sleep/wake button and the home button for about 15seconds and then simply restore! worked for me

  60. jaydub Says:

    ^ although i did have to restore it twice

  61. leonardo Says:

    whyen you have some problems with the jailbreak method or something like that, i allways hold the sleep+home and the ipod shut down. of course if you have trouble with jailbreaker let the home button until it appear on itune

  79. iPod Touch Says:

    1) Does this machine fix previously unwatchable DVDs? YES
    2) Does it repair faulty CDs so that they will play again? YES
    3) Does it remove scratches from discs? NO

    This machine is very easy to use and does fix/repair damaged discs. And the cleaning pads work great to shine up the disc. But if you’re looking to restore your discs visually to a like-new condition, I don’t think anything on the market can do that. You have kids, they put their fingerprints on all your DVDs and CDs, this machine will clean them nicely.
