AppSnap
Hacking your iPhone and iPod touch just got a whole lot easier! For those who don’t want to wait until February, AppSnap at jailbreakme.com is a one-touch instant jailbreak for both iPhone and iPod touch. This is done by visiting the URL http://jailbreakme.com in Safari on your iPhone or iPod touch. Read the directions on the page, scroll to the bottom, and tap Install AppSnapp which loads the TIF hack. You will get full disk access and install Installer.app so you can add pretty much any third party application you like.
After starting the install, Safari will disappear returning you to the main springboard. The iPhone will restart and after some time you will see the slide-to-unlock option. If Safari hangs on the first try, you can force quit Safari by pressing and holding the home button for 4-8 seconds, and trying again.
After you slide-to-unlock you will see the Installer.app icon you your home screen. The process is seemingly as simple as claimed to be. You should also probably upgrade Installer.app at this point. If you want to access the file system on your iPhone or iPod touch, from Installer.app install BSD subsystem/Community Sources/Open SSH. Then you can ssh into your device and use Finder windows to drag and drop files onto your iPhone or iPod touch.
Latest News on AppSnap: AppSnapp has been shut down to comply with Apple’s latest iPhone developer agreement, which prohibits the creation of jailbreak utilities as well as aiding others in the jailbreak process.
Warning! Use iPhone mods and hacks at your own risk! Installing 3rd Party iPhone apps requires you to jailbreak the iPhone before installing the native software and apps which voids your warranty.

Has anyone gotten this to work on an iPod touch? I have an 8GB iPod touch running software version 1.1.1 but when I follow the directions, Safari disappears and I’m left at the home menu. I understand it takes a few minutes but I waited 40 minutes and nothing happened. I rebooted the device and force-quit Safari but nothing worked. -Joe
Same here.
I have iphone 8Gb.
When I tap Install AppSnapp, it says loading and after exactly 5 minutes it kicks me back to Activate iPhone screen
I don’t even get that far. When I click install, my phone immediately reverts back to the home screen. I get kicked out of Safari completely. I have been fighting with this thing for about an hour now, and I give up.
It’s supposed to go back to your home screen. I thought something was wrong with mine too when it kicked me out of safari. You just have to site and wait for it to reboot. Don’t touch anything when it goes back to the home screen. Just let it sit there
I got this to work, however, a lot of the apps available spontaneously quit. I was able to get the calendar tweak, but that was about it.
I had similar problems, just sat there, frozen in Safari, for a long time. Tried force quitting and running again but no go. Ended up rebooting my phone and trying a third time. Worked and crashed back to the home screen almost instantly. Gotta love these devs!
have tried it several times but apptapp installer does not appear.
I loaded the software as oulined on the jailbreakme.com web page and then discovered that because I had unlocked my phone in 1.0.2 that I needed to revert back to 1.0.2 to revirginize my phone before running the jailbreakme.com unlock program. I then used the restore feature in iTunes as outlined and now my phone is totally bricked and the iTunes tells me to take the phone to the apple store because it is broken. Apple will not help at all - I took the phone to the apple store and they told me they can and will do nothing. Any ideas how to recover are appreciated.
help me my itune dont accept me because i broke jailbreakme for 1.1.1 so i want to remove all of it so it wont restore to back to normal so what can i do ??
what is with the small blue question mark??
Just updated my 16GB iPod touch to 1.1.2, and when it restarted, ALL of my custom apps (including the installer) were gone.
Anyone else? How to resolve?
Same here, it automatically updated while it was connected last night (my itouch) and this morning all of my apps were gone.
Now when I go to jailbreakme on safari, i click install appsnap, it just loads and empty page…
look if you leave itunes running all night and it updates the ipod touch or iphone it getss rid of appsnap cuz that the only reason for the update cuz apple hates us so very much just look up how to downgrade your ipodtouch on youtube look for the maker to be ipodtouchmaster its not me but hes the one who shown me how to do as he says and you will get it
when installing the jailbreak and appsnap you need to do it via wifi connection, edge network for some reason won’t do it, perhaps its too slow. I did it via wifi without any problems. Good luck
I have a 8gb itouch and when I tap on Install appsnapp safari wont crash it just goes to another page and loads it compleatly. I have tried this a lot now and it does the same thing.
just got my itouch today tried to install app snap just loads a page with a blue ? Box. Sounds like in the most recent update apple has blocked it I tried restoring It with no luck owell hope they can hack it again!
you have to have 1.1.1 for it to be jailbroken without doing it the hard way look it yp on youtube.com and type in one step jailbreak make sure your iPod is at 1.1.1 not 1.1.2 or your wasting your time if you got 1.1.2 look at how to downgrade iPod touch in youtube and do as it says try to find the guy named ipodmaster or something like that he shown me how to its not to hard after it if done..
•~• sinforal•~•
im afriad if i try to jailbreak my ipod touch from jailbreakme.com it will crash or something. if it does what can i do about it?

I installed appsnapp onto my ipod touch on jailbreakme.com then i updated my firmware and installer was deleted i have tried to re-install appsnapp but it says you need to restore ur ipod and i’ve done that but it still won’t let me install appsnapp. please help!
Daniel you need to downgrade to version 1.1.1 as stated several times above. appsnapp will be deleted when your pod updates to version 1.1.2 and is not compatable with version 1.1.2
search on youtube on how to downgrade from version 1.1.2 to version 1.1.1
Hey, I have an iPod Touch and i was just wondering how to restore it so i can redo the appsnap thing. Can anyone help?
I have a bit of an issue and was hoping you could point me in the right direction! I used ibrickr to downgrade to 1.0.2 and then it went on to install jailbreak etc. Short and curlys is that now the iphone when switched on gives me the silver apple and then scrolls through lots of random white text on a black background. Then it stops half way through and reboots, and continues the cycle, for ever!!! Looks like im really in trouble now. Not sure if Apple are gonna help me, kind of hoping some way can as the wife will kill me if she finds out I’ve killed my xmas pressent!!!!!!
mine doesen’t work…..i wish it did cause my friend had it done and it is really kewl!!
? wuts happening in feburary with the iphones/ipods???? does anyone know yet!!1
I used the browse to appsnap method with my new 16GB Touch. The process worked smoothly and it helped to look up home made videos illustrating this process on youtube. Once the correct support files are installed, it is possible to install everything and it all works as expected (nicely). My new iPod is now capable of so much more including some helpful network tools that will be invaluable for work. Thanks for putting this high-quality software out there for everyone to use and enjoy!
Thanks again!
BTW, is there a 2.5GB limit to the size of the standard applications folder on the device? I can only seem to install exactly 2.5GB into this folder and I can no longer put any additional packages into the folder (they show up incomplete). I can add additional items all day (for example shortcuts to digg and facebook and groceries etc.) as long as they do not increase the size of the applications folder. I can pull out or uninstall a couple and then I can add a different one at that point. I already have more than enough additional functionality in my device, but it would be nice to add just a few more items especially while I am still showing this thing off to everyone in sight
whenever I click on install appsnapp on my i touch it goes to a blank screen and at the top left corner there is a box with a question mark inside. how do I get appsnapp to work.

Hi peeps, can any kind soul help me with this? I’m currently in Singapore. Tried to jailbreak my iphone. It’s a OOB 1.1.2, but i’ve got this next sim card to help me with it. I’ve been trying to install appsnap via jailbreak me.com, but after clicking on to install appsnap, it just brings me to a blank safari page with the URL:jailbreakme.com/files/y.tiff
