ZiPhone blog and click through on the "Click here to Download ZiPhone" link to grab the latest Windows or Mac version. Once you download ZiPhone, you're ready to go. When you run the application, you'll see a window like the one of the two images to the left. (The first one is the Windows version, the second is the Mac version. Click the image for a larger view.)
The simple jailbreaks (that is, the ones that don't unlock your iPhone for other cell phone carriers) are pointed out in the screenshot.
necessary, but it's a good practice.) Choose the option that applies to you: iPod touch jailbreak or iPhone jailbreak. ZiPhone will cycle your device into recovery mode, perform the jailbreak, and in 45 seconds your iPhone or iPod touch will be officially and completely jailbroken.Now you can go through iTunes, set up, and sync the device just as you would if it were fresh out of the box. (Just remember not to restore your old settings if you were using a 1.1.3 jailbroken iPhone.) When you head to your home screen for the first time, you'll notice two new icons: the Installer.app icon—which is the application that allows you to install the best iPhone apps currently available

Jailbreaking firmware 2.0/1/2
This is nearly the hardest method of jailbreaking but unfortunatly there is no other way until now.
To get started, download PwnageTool 2.0. Or, grab version 2.0.1. This tutorial was created using version 2.0, but the steps will be nearly identical if you’re using 2.0.1. Actually, using 2.0.1 will help you avoid some of the errors that this tutorial highlights (and shows you to resolve). Whichever version you download, unzip it and drag the app to your Applications folder. Launch it from there. You’ll be greeted with a warning message. Read it, then click OK. Then enlarge
Select the iPod Touch entry (make sure there’s a check mark) and then click the Next button (the right-arrow in the bottom right corner of the PwnageTool screen).
Select the firmware bundle displayed in the main window, and click Next.

When asked if you want to create a .ipsw file on your Desktop, click Yes.
click to enlarge
PwnageTool will now build a IPSW file.
click to enlarge
During the creation process, you’ll be prompted to enter your password. Do so, then click OK.
click to enlarge
Click No when asked if you’ve Pwned your iPod Touch before. Even if you’ve used this tool in the past, once you updated to the 2.0 firmware that means it was wiped any traces of PwnageTool.

If you get a Failed to enter DFU mode, have no fear.
click to enlarge
Open a Terminal and enter the following two commands: cd ~/Library/iTunes/
mkdir “Device Support”
If that folder already exists, delete all of the files inside of it.
click to enlarge
Start the Pwnage process from the beginning. This time you should pass the Failed to enter DFU mode screen. Turn off your device when prompted.
click to enlarge
If you don’t turn off your device and re-start it the way prompted (holding down the bottom button) you may get a different Failed to enter DFU mode error. This time you won’t need to start from the beginning again, just follow the on-screen instructions carefully.
After you’ve successfully entered DFU mode, you’ll get a message indicating as much. Quit PwnageTool and launch iTunes.
click to enlarge
iTunes will detect an iPod in recovery mode. Click OK.
click to enlarge
Hold down the alt-key on your keyboard and then click Restore.
click to enlarge
An Open window will appear. Navigate to the .ipsw file on your Desktop, select it and then click Open. If iTunes prompts you to download a file, you did not hold down the alt key when clicking Restore. You do not want to download and install the file from Apple (or you’ll just be re-installing the 2.0 firmware).

First it will extract…
then it will restore the software…
verify the software…
and finally restore the firmware.
You’ll get a message telling you that your iPod has been restored to the factory default settings. That couldn’t really be farther from the truth, but click OK.
click to enlarge
Select Set up as a new iPod and click Continue.
click to enlarge
Give your iPod a name, and determine the sync settings you want to use, then click Done.
click to enlarge
Now your iPod Touch will sync. The first thing it will do is re-install any apps you downloaded from the App Store.
click to enlarge
And now your iPod Touch will have your downloaded/purchased apps, in addition to Cydia (which is like Installer.app, with improvements).
click to enlarge
Launch Cydia.
click to enlarge
If you get a message about installing upgrades, click Upgrade Essential
click to enlarge
Click Confirm from the upper-right corner.
click to enlarge
The essential updates will download.
click to enlarge
Then install.
click to enlarge
If you get a message saying Reorganizing One Minue! Please wait… DO NOT STOP, follow that advice and let it do its thing.
click to enlarge
Now you can take a look at your installed packages…
click to enlarge
Or review the info on using OpenSSH (yay!)
click to enlarge
Finally, remember to set all of your syncing preferences in iTunes. Contacts, Calendar, Bookmarks etc. Once you’ve done that, re-sync and they’ll be restored to your device.
