Note

This is just something for people that know what they are doing and like to experiment. If you don't know what you are doing, just wait for the MuscleNerd / devteam tutorial, it will probably be much better and more in-depth.

Also, MuscleNerd brought up a good point. This is quite rudimentary, and I did not take into account 2.2+ OTB users while making it, so they are going to have trouble doing it to. If you bought your device with 2.2 or later on it, use the devteam method when they release that.

iPod side

To make it actually work, you need to send a command to your iPod first. This will store the redsn0w payload in NVRAM, to put it simply.

Grab the latest iRecovery from http://chronicdev.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ and send the following commands to your device in Recovery Mode:

setenv pwn "arm7_stop; mw 0x9000000 0xe59f3014; mw 0x9000004 0xe3a02a02; mw 0x9000008 0xe1c323b4; mw 0x900000c 0xe59f300c; mw 0x9000010 0xe3e02000; mw 0x9000014 0xe503223f; mw 0x9000018 0xeafffffe; mw 0x900001c 0x0ff1a100; mw 0x9000020 0x0ff2afff; arm7_go; arm7_stop; fsboot"
saveenv

The script / payload will now be stored in NVRAM, and will even survive a restore (although you must be running a 2.1.1 iBoot anyway in order to use arm7_go). You can run it by sending the following command:

run pwn

If you ever use clearenv to clear your enviromental variables though, then you would want to execute the setenv again.

Dongle Side

Send "run pwn\n\r" via serial to the device. I suggest using a PodBreakout board from SparkFun. Pinout can be found [here]

Comment by project member AriXm...@gmail.com, Feb 18, 2009

Wouldn't you need to saveenv after setenv to make the change stick? I'd add it, but I'm not 100% sure and I don't want to be posting false info ;)

Comment by evANG...@aim.com, Feb 18, 2009

i feel proud i brought this to his attention

Comment by evANG...@aim.com, Feb 18, 2009

Ari i fail, lemme add it :P

Comment by evANG...@aim.com, Feb 18, 2009

thnx chronic

Comment by Revoluti...@gmail.com, Feb 18, 2009

Can we have something like full schematics, and a tutorial? Thanks. I JB using Voltage, but I don't want to risk engineering my own dongle....

Comment by project member AriXm...@gmail.com, Feb 18, 2009

lol, love the commit comment chronic :p

Comment by jkard1...@gmail.com, Feb 18, 2009

i dont want to sound like a n00b, everyone has to learn some time... what is a dongle? and will this only be for 2.1.1 or will it also be aplicable to 2.2.1?

Comment by wen5t...@gmail.com, Feb 18, 2009

The eastiest jailbreak I found was cywood it is great for beginners

Comment by musclen...@gmail.com, Feb 18, 2009

evANG a little demanding aren't you?

We did this 2 days ago and you want/expect a full writeup?

In that case, this page will have to do.

Comment by musclen...@gmail.com, Feb 18, 2009

Oh heh evANG and you expect this writeup for the DC16 badge you must obviously have too. :\

Comment by patrickl...@gmail.com, Feb 18, 2009

so, few questions so I can nail out a hex file for the 16f819

1.Voltage levels. I'm assuming that this is going to use ttl 2.Baudrate. I think its 19.2kbps from documentation, but meh, it'd be nice to know for sure. 3. 3.3v output? how much current can I pull. throwing some blinkenlights on might be cool.

Comment by musclen...@gmail.com, Feb 19, 2009

These instructions require you to be using firmware 2.1.1. And right now there are more people with ipt2g's that cannot boot 2.1.1 than those who can. These instructions won't work for most ipt2g owners.

Comment by mitchell...@gmail.com, Feb 19, 2009

@musclenerd: How would you apply this to the 2.2.1 firmware? Would the needed 2.1.1 firmware files need to be stored on the dongle?

Thanks.

Comment by musclen...@gmail.com, Feb 19, 2009

The sw writeup we're working on at http://iphwn.org will cover that and some other important stuff. That writeup will be (hopefully) directly applicable to all dongles, and for FW 2.2.1 (which can be installed on all ipt2g's).

The hw writeup we're working on will be more generic, not specifically for one dongle (nor will it depend one particular FW version).

Comment by Kevin.Ra...@gmail.com, Feb 19, 2009

Is there a tutorial to un-jailbreak your ipt2g??

Comment by spookers...@hotmail.com, Feb 19, 2009

Kevin.Rauer: to unjailbreak, you just restore in itunes

musclenerd: Instead of a badge, wouldn't encasing it all be better (kind of like the shape of an FM transmitter).

Comment by evANG...@aim.com, Feb 19, 2009

wait i just have a quetion will the tutroial show how or were to get a dongle uz this consept is very new to me lik wat a dongle is and such

Comment by joey.ols...@gmail.com, Feb 19, 2009

If you don't know what a dongle is even, you probably shouldn't be messing with the jailbreak yet. Devteam is just doing this out of their own free will. Don't push them.

@Musclenerd Thanks for all of your hard work! We really appreciate it.

Comment by evANG...@aim.com, Feb 19, 2009

yaah thnx musclenerd and i didnt now it came out 2 days ago my friend who showed me the link said it came out a while ago i guess he was bluffing srry

Comment by iamkrazy...@gmail.com, Feb 20, 2009

when i use "run pwn" it just says could not find variable. i allready setenv and saveenv

Comment by evANG...@aim.com, Feb 20, 2009

muscle nerd how do u get custom bootlogos

Comment by xdxdaust...@gmail.com, Feb 21, 2009

you should try (for boot logos) make a new coustom FW, restoring and then boot! not shure about to try it now.

PS. im not respnciable if i bricked your ipod

Comment by adamscy...@gmail.com, Feb 22, 2009

evANG, I hate to say it but you are a fucking noob and have no idea what you are doing.

Comment by dethbo...@gmail.com, Feb 22, 2009

i got the run rs/n in to the code but i just need the iPod side and is this thingy up there for apple only? And does the FW just need the ibss and iboot that are missing

Comment by wen5t...@gmail.com, Feb 24, 2009

It's been a while we need updates

Comment by evANG...@aim.com, Feb 25, 2009
Comment by reap...@gmail.com, Feb 25, 2009

evANG: try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIC_microcontroller Because these Features are not needed: - Bluetooth Technology - Stereo (A2DP) - Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)) - Use the Bluetooth receiver to listen songs from your iPods / iPhone.

Comment by spookers...@hotmail.com, Feb 28, 2009

Here's instructions for software prep from dev team: http://wikee.iphwn.org/howto:ipt2g_dongle_prep

Does anyone know if you can just add the environmental variables to existing rslite jailbreak, or do you have to patch some stuff and restore to a different IPSW?

Comment by evANG...@aim.com, Mar 5, 2009

can som1 make a make tutorial on how to do this please i really need help i tried to do it and it didnt work if any1 can helo me tht wuld be great

Comment by spookers...@hotmail.com, Mar 5, 2009

You know you have to use 2.1.1 firmware, right?

(I think it can be made by patching with patches available here: http://wikee.iphwn.org/howto:ipt2g_dongle_prep)

Comment by evANG...@aim.com, Mar 6, 2009

no u can use 2.21 its actauly easier to use the 2.21

Comment by spookers...@hotmail.com, Mar 7, 2009

It's easier to install 2.2.1, but I didn't think you could permanently upload patched files that it used every boot. I might be wrong, but without uploading those the only way you can use the arm7 commands is if your actually running the firmware that has them.

Comment by evANG...@aim.com, Mar 7, 2009

my device is jailbroken on221

Comment by spookers...@hotmail.com, Mar 9, 2009

You're going to have to jailbreak again if you want to use a dongle. QuickTether? will do everything on the ipod side for you: http://ipod2g.info/main/index.php

Comment by evANG...@aim.com, Mar 10, 2009

i set up my itouch for donlge and run rs now can som1 want to sell me somthing for a reasonable price any dongle please contact me at klxsitouchhelp@aol.com
