iPod touch | How to Jailbreak Your iPod touch With iLiberty+ (Mac)

Before following these instructions you should have already restored your iPod touch to 1.1.4 using iTunes. You should have the iPod connected to your dock/computer and iTunes should have detected the iPod after restore at least one once! If you have a new iPod Touch then do ignore steps A-H and start with 1-12.

If you do not know how to put your iPod Touch into restore mode follow the following steps:

Step A.
Connect the iPhone to iTunes. Make any needed backups.
Step B.
Put the iPhone into DFU mode. Do this by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for 10 seconds. At this point the screen will turn black, and the iPhone will appear to be off.
Step C.
Keep holding it untill you see a ' Connect to iTunes' image.
Step D.
A pop up about iTunes recognizing a phone in restore mode will appear, press ok.
Step E.
iTunes will now display a screen with just the restore mode avaliable.
Step F.
Download the firmware restore file for 1.1.4 here. Remember where you put this file and do not decompress it.Press the Shift key and click Restore. A file browser window will open. Navigate to where the firmware file was downloaded, select it, and click Open.
Step G.
Various messages will appear while the 'never ending' process continues. After it finishes, click cancel to activate the iPhone through iTunes.
Step H.
Eject the iPhone from iTunes and close iTunes.

Below are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPod touch using iLiberty+ and a Mac.

Step One
Download iLiberty+ 1.2 from here, or here to your desktop.
Step Two
Double click the downloaded file (iLibertyX.dmg) on your desktop.
Step Three

Step Four
You will be warned that you downloaded iLiberty+ from the internet. Click the Open button.
Step Five
iLiberty+ will open onto the standard tab. Notice the jailbreak checkbox is already checked.
Step Six
Click to select the Payloads tab. From here you can select additional payloads to install while jailbreaking. We will leave this alone for now and go back to the Standard tab. Note***: A tutorial on how to download and install payloads will be posted in the near future.
