  7. I had jail broken my ipod when it was 1.1.3 and it worked perfectly but i messed it up and needed to restore my ipod. and it installed 1.1.4 on it. and now i cant jailbreak. everything works fine until the white writing goes down my ipod and it stops at “spamming waiting for responce” and then i have to start all over again and restore my ipod. Can anyone help me?

  8. This method (with ZiPhone 2.4 or 2.5) does NOT currently work on 16gb or 32gb ipod touches as they will get stuck in a loop while updating.

  15. Well I had jailbroken my 1.1.4 ipod touch with ziPhone and it was ok. but I turned it off and when it was on again, there was the logo of when you buy it ( connect the ipod to itunes) so I did and it said I had to restore but I didnt have internet on the laptop so i just clicked the button in ziphone to put it back without jailbreak.
    From there it started to show up codes and then it just crashed.
    It won’t go on…
    Just as some people above…

    Help?

    thanks in advance
    : )

  16. okay so i got installer on my
    8gb itouch but whenever i try to download anything it says
    “error package download failed!”

    anyone help?

  17. Just as Saurab above, I downloaded the installer and when I try to open it I get the message “error package download failed!” Any ideas would be appreciated.

  18. ziphone fucking blows. pretty much all there is to it. they must have only made it so that only iphone can download packages

  19. yeahh the installer wont show on my ipod only the z does HELP!!!

  20. PLEASE HELP ME!!! I have a 8gb Ipod touch, followed ziphone instructions for jailbreak and it is forever stuck on some scrolling white text… nothing else. I can’t put it in recovery mode, when you restart the device it just restarts the scrolling text. It repeats: “BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0″ the text repeats itself the entire length of the screen. I have only had this ipod 2 days and am scared it is damaged… please help me!!!!

  21. OK seriosuly i have the same problem it says BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0 PLZ HELP I”M SERIOUSLY FREAKED OUT

I entered the “BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0″ message along with the words “Ipod touch” into the search engine and a site came up that walks you through how to correct this and fix your ipod. Basically what it came down is REPEATEDLY holding down the home and power buttons simultaneously while plugged in to the computer for 8 seconds at a time. Try this repeatedly. If you have no luck, post again and I will try finding the site!

  41. I jail broke my iPod touch yesterday with ziphone my firmware is 1.1.4 with software update for those of you who are having the problems with the white text looping you need to hold the on/off button and the home button until it goes off and on 3 times and you will see the image you got when you first got the iPod and then plug it in and wait till your iPod is found on iTunes and then do a system restore but do NOT put the songs back on!! Then you need to close iTunes and go to ziphone download it and hook your iPod back up then click on jailbrake iPod but don’t stop clicking click it five times quickly or even a little more if you want and white text should start scrolling and when you see the words Mac Address with some numbers then quickly click the off button and then the home button and a big z will come up and rite after that there will be a picture of the flaming z and zorro with text at the bottom that said loading installer

  42. hey when i try to download summerboard on my 8g touch, it says error package download failed. what happened?

  43. how do get my itunes to recognize my ipod touch so i can restore it, i installed ziphone and accidentally skipped over the restore page?

  44. I used the ziphone on my 16G and it got stuck in that loop. I freaked out but then I looked at the comments and saw thatsome helpful people had posted how to fix the problem. Thank you a lot and let me know when ziphone will work for 16G ipod touchs

  45. I used the DO EVERYTHING link the first time and it messed my ipod up. But then I did the UNLOCK botton and it worked great on my 16G ipod! thank you

  46. i jailbroke my ipod touch with the ziphone and downloaded some apps but now it seams that evertime i try to download an app it gives me an error theat says package download failed any answers anyone?

  47. regarding the ‘package download failed’ , to fix this u must turn yor ipod/iphone off fully. Do this by holding the power button until the power slider appears. Slide the bar so tht ure ipod turns off, then turn it back on and try downloading again. This worked for me .

  48. damn this thing worked perfectly and didnt need to do all the hassle u had in ur video it worked even better ur a fricking genius thanks again man ;)

  49. hey my iTouch is something wrong with it. In the middle of Jailbreaking it, it took more than 3 minute and i stop the process, now the itunes won’t detect it and like the only thing on my screen is
    BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0
    HELP!!!

  50. ok so i downgraded my ipod to 1.1.3 and did the video for ziphone for 1.1.3, so i did the steps but now wen i did the steps for jailbreak it was in that error ummm: i think it was bsd 0 and sumthin sumthin, can u help cuz i did everything the video told me 2 do so ya…… plz give me help

  51. You people are all idiots. No wonder the USA is going into a death spiral of stupidity. Doesn’t anyone proof-read anything they write? Go back and read what you’ve written. You all sound like a bunch of illiterate morons….true products of our public education system. God help us!

  52. Jim, unfortunately a lot of people eith don’t bother or don’t take much care when typing into a computer these days. However, this isn’t a literacy test, it’s a thread where people genuinely need help - not insults. :)

  53. hey when I try and download or uninstall any thing from my installer from my 1.1.4 iPod touch it says
    pakage download fail and I’ve tried turning it off and on fully but dosent work should I restore it and download jail break again
    tap bak on osamar1@live.co.uk or .com thx

  54. Kate…it sounds like there’s a very mixed result base from trying to jailbreak the iTouch. I’ve been thinking about breaking mine…I even downloaded Ziphone. However, after reading the results in this forum, I’m not willing to fix that which is not broken. I’m not really willing to follow the instructions on YouTube from a bunch of 10-year olds. It doesn’t sound like there’s a great deal of confidence from the advice given on this site either. Sorry to insult, but I found it difficult to pour through all the posts above to try extract the information I need from the flurry of grammatical incompetence.

    It sounds like you had success, though. Did you break yours when 1.1.4 was installed? Even if the iTouch is broken, where’s the best place to get all the 3rd party apps?

    Ciao!

    Jim

  55. To all those looking for a clean, clear description of jailbreaking your Touch, go to Ziphone.org. Download the app for your platform (Windows or Mac). Connect your Ipod. You don’t have to do anything else except just plug your Ipod in. You don’t have to do all that other crap like restore, sync, or whatever else you’ve been told. This whole process has been way over-explained and made to appear very complicated. Software engineers like to do that so the world of computer software becomes very nebulous and ambiguous to the lay-person. They like to make it appear that way so you have to come to them for answers. It’s like built in job security!! :)

    If you’ve already been using your Touch (like me), then start Ziphone and simply click, “Jailbreak” on the left side of the GUI (graphical user interface). Everything will happen automatically…you won’t have to do anything except wait. You’ll see some DOS-looking text scroll across your screen, but it’s all automatic. You don’t need to touch the Ipod during this phase.

    Once it’s done…YOU’RE done—your Touch is Jailbroken, and it will restart automatically! Just start your Ipod and click the installer icon. You’ll have tons of apps you can install, or go find other on the web.

    Good luck…from someone who had reservations about jailbreaking mine. Worry not, young squire!

  56. ZiPhone pretty much destroyed my iTouch. I do NOT in anyway, blame ZiPhone. It was my own mistake. Instead of downloading the .NET Framework, I decided to be a smart ass and try to hack it myself. I have officially broke my iTouch.
    But I hope someone out there knows how to fix it.
    It’s current condition is just a bunch of codes. Then at the very bottom of the codes it repeats,

    BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0

    If anyone can help me, it will be very greatly appreciated.

  57. hey

    please someboyd help. ive jailbroken my ipod touch but now my itunes wont connect to my ipod becaue of an ‘error’ and i cant get on my ipod. please, i dont know what to do.

    thanks

  58. I get the zphone on my computer and it started the thing where on your ipod it shows all the words going across the screen and it took more than 3 minutes so i stooped it..then it said No such file or directory and thats all it says its stuck like that and won’t go back to the normal screen so my ipod touch doesn’t work at all. what do i do???

  59. All this talk what about the Iphone 8g

  60. i guess i can say this. All is good good, y year old narrator.

  61. guys i downloaded like 20 things and then when i tried to update this thing on my installer for the jailbreaking thing it says package download failed is it because there isnt any wi-fi or what cause my connection to wi-fi is really strong idk wats wrong wit it

  62. Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q5L5cH0vkg

  63. My Iphone got stuck on the zorro guy with the picture of the iphone and now I cant use it.I need help because apple won’t cover it with its warranty.

  64. well my iphone has stucked with the apple logo and the circle spining and i have searched over internet to fix it.i have pushed the round button and the top one (on/off) together.The phone turned off.Then ive connected iphone to itunes and i have choosed the option to put the iphone to the factory values (or something like that).This will erase everything from iphone.Ive wait few minutes.Everything was fine,the phone turned on and off ok.The problem was that i found that my iphone was locked.It said to introduce an available sim card.I’m from spain so my sim was not available.Ive searched again on internet and i found the Ziphone.Believe me.Ive just install the program on my computer (windows os),connect the iphone,push the unlock option from Ziphone.A lot of numbers and letters starts to running on the iphone screen,Stoped after 1 minute more or less.After another minute start running again.Totaly 4-5 minutes or less.Now my iPhone works like new.I have 1.1.4 firmware.This happening like 3 weeks ago.I hope that my post helped someone to fix his iphone.Sorry for my english.

  65. i have installed the ziphone,but i dont know how to install the apps.when i click at the icon on ziphone opens safari and the link ziphone.org,what do i have to do next

  66. Ledi.zIphone is for installing it on computer,not on iPhone.What do you have on your phone its only an icon which goes to zIphone website,nothing more.

  67. Well, I’ve tried to help as much as I can, but still people keep posting their ignorance on this website. All of this goes back to that story about the computer support technician after getting so frustrated with the moron on the phone. Finally, he gave her precise instructions: “Get your computer, all the manuals and accessories, and put them back in the box and take it back to the store…because you’re too f…ing stupid to own one.”

    Put your iPod back in the box and sell it on eBay…because you’re too f….ing stupid to own one. Go to Wal Mart and buy a portable CD player.

  68. if you have the “BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0″ don’t worry because it is fixable. All you have to do is make sure the itouch/phone is connected to the computer then hold down the Home+Sleep button till you see the recovery screen. Then the computer should detect it. if that dont work, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q5L5cH0vkg
