User Reviews

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.

   you should be able to do a regular restore from itunes. Jailbreakme probably wont brick it.

   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..

   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

    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?

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 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.

    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
