For those interested in native apps and iPhone/iPod touch hacking, another Jailbreak software for the iPhone and iPod touch (Windows and OS X) has been released, called ZiPhone by Zibri.
ZiPhone 2.0 claims to work on all versions of iPhone (1.1.1, 1.1.2, and 1.1.3) and has a graphical user interface.
Update: ZiPhone does work with the 1.1.4 iPhone firmware update released today.
Here is a video demo showing you how to install ZiPhone on your iPod touch.
Here is another video showing you how to install ZiPhone on iPod touch or iPhone with 1.1.4 in Windows.
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. You can also use Installer.app for Mac OSX and iBrickr for Windows PC to do this. Browse the full list of all iPhone and iPod touch native 3rd party apps filed under the software category.

hey man (Nick). just press and hold menu and power button. and keep holding it for ages together even when the apple logo appears again. till the apple icon with the cable appears. then just restore it with itunes. everything will be wiped off of course. but it will be working again. will have to unlock it again too.
Can you please help me? I have a 32GB itouch, I tried to use the Ziphone to jailbreak, it did not finish the install, it just hung up, white text says sigleuser boot fsck not done, root device is mounted read only
if you wish to boot the system: exit
I can not restore this itouch, when I try I get teh apple logo, but then I get all that white text, and it just hangs, any suggestion??
okay… it is fixable, granted it took me 6 hours to figure it 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!
OK seriosuly i have the same problem it says BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0 PLZ HELP I”M SERIOUSLY FREAKED OUT
