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.

i guess i can say this. All is good good, y year old narrator.
All this talk what about the Iphone 8g
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???
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
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.
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!
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, 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.
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!
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
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!!!
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
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 .
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?
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
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
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?
hey when i try to download summerboard on my 8g touch, it says error package download failed. what happened?
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
