Ipod touch, from 1.1.1 to 1.1.4 and jailbreak.

Old configuration: ipod touch 8G + 1.1.1 with jailbreak crack. It works like a charm. However, the system became unconformable with time goes by. Thus, I decided to upgrade.

1. After downloaded the 1.1.4 firmware, open iTunes, press Shift and clike the restore button, select the file and restore the iTouch. Now, everything old are ruined. You will be happy if you did a little backup work before restore iTouch.

2. Download Ziphone 3.0 to jailbreak the iTouch. Close iTunes, kill ipod...exe, itune..help.exe processes with task manager of Windows Xp. Then run Ziphone 3 GUI. Click advanced selection options. Be sure to uncheck the activation and ... checkboxes if you are not using iPhone. Otherwise, the cracked system is unstable. Now, click "Jailbreak [include ipod]" and wait for about one minute.

3. The iTouch is now ready to install packages. Search for wireless network. You can login the iTouch by using ssh of Cygwin/WinXP. The password for root is "alpine". DO NOT change the password. Or, you will get continuous of crash of Summerboard and it looks like a piece of brick.

The left steps is adding some sources, install softwares for your application. But, there are still a lot to go. And the mixed-usage of mobile and root for default user will make you programs stopping working. Googling for more details.
