Props to geohot for the iBoot hack. I am pretty amazed, pod2g found it recently, but we never got it to work correctly, while geohotz found it and had it up and running less than a week after 3G[s] release. A mac GUI is on it’s way, but for now it is windows only. Note that you do NOT need to restore to anything for this, it is basically a (quicker) version of QuickPwn.
I love how it took them a few days to jailbreak iphone 3GS an it took 2g ipod touch months >.>
Probably because the 3GS used the same flaw already found in the iPod touch 2G
while that is true, and iboot exploit was still needed
Lets see what the next challenge will be for the iphone-dev and chrnic-dev as well…The cat and mouse game will keep going on and on until one side gives up =]
So, Chronic, are you still hacking things and making jailbreak tools, or has this blog just died?
I am to assume you did not read geohotz blog post on this jb? We helped put it together.
Too many errors and patches needed. I'm waiting for them chronicdevteam. Go go
I have no idea, so I'll ask.
Does that mean you don't have to get those files from purplera1n with that 16 digit number thing? I don't have a 3G S, but I'm curious.
Not that I have much room to talk, simply because it's incredible that you people are so talented & can develop software/jailbreaks/etc., but purplera1n was EXTREMELY buggy and unreliable when I used it.
I'd love to see a working, non-beta version that functioned at 100% like QuickPWN always has (well, for the most part).
Thank you again for all your hard work.
free 3gs!!!!

I NEED HELP!!!!!
My iPod Touch 2G is not starting up! It has been jailbroken for awhile now, and I recently tried to install something named “Stack 3″ from the Xsellize repo. It installed, and asked me to restart the springboard. I tapped on that, and then it never restarted! I just kept seeing the same swirly thing going around and around.
I then shut my ipod off, and proceeded to restart it. 8 hours later, it was still showing the apple logo and hadn't started up.
I plugged it into the computer. I could see all my songs and music through iTunes! It was still on the apple logo though! I could even open up DiskAid! Using DiskAid I found the folder for stacks, and deleted it. But it is still stuck on the apple logo!
HELP!
Ok, now it seems to have gone into recovery mode. I can see the picture of a usb and itunes.
I really don't want to restore! HELP!
What firmware are you running?
2.2, I think I'm just going to restore to a jailbroken 3.0…. Oh well…
I NEED MORE HELP!
I just installed 3.0, and installing anything from cydia or icy doesn't work. It just throws this error.

And I mean ANYTHING I try to install.
Well, a re-spring fixed that last error. Now I'm getting this error.

you NEEDED 3.0 for stack 3.
When you went to 3.0, did you restore from a backup?
When I restored I downloaded 3.0 off the Internet for free. So it isn't a backup of anything.
Oh…..
Sometimes it says “grep” instead of “ncurses”

sign up free ipod touch
@Mac
reply wasnt working…
what callmebam was asking was did u restore from backup in itunes after u restored the formware i believe…correct me if im wrong… amd ur problem might be u downloaded a bad restore firmware off the internet or maybe u accidentally downloades the beta firmware….just use itunea to do the restore alone…
Then I suggest buying it in iTunes and starting completely over.
So, restore to 2.2.1, then buy 3.0, then try it?
I don't think that will make a difference, but it could.
I didn't restore to a backup.
And I didn't use like a custom ipsf or whatever its called.
Lmao
“3g[s] == jailbroken”
I love how you used ==
the way to compare if one side is equal to the other in cpp
My problem was solved by another restore but this time I unchecked Icy.
I am now running a jailbroken 3.0 perfectly! W00t!
yea!!!!!
im glad u got it to work
HAHA i'm sorry but thats really funny xP
Yea 3.0 is pretty sweet =D
so whats next in this world of jailbreaking/unlocking????
tryin to find a new hole in the 3.1 baseband i guess??
chronic are u gunna work on soft unlocks or do u only mess with jailbreaks???….an honest question not me tryin to be a jerk…and i do appreciate all the work u do put towards jailbreaks
on another note what do u guys think of the camera in the ipod 3,1 i guess it would be called??
That's just speculation…remember allllll the iPhone2,1 “specs” out there? Lots of it was fake. And I think, for iPods, it will just go 1G, 2G, 3G, and so on. No S's or C's or whatever letter Apple wants. Just my opinion.
good to see u back up and running
yay! chronic dev blog is back, new and improved!
