Step 1. Download all 3 of the "downloads needed" and un-Rar them into a file, you should make a folder for these downloads to keep them organized. The files are big(some) so be patient and save to the hard drive with the most space.
Step 2. Plug in your iPodT and open iTunes.
Step 3. Install quickfreedom(if not already) and open, click the button :Jailbreak: and you should see this
Make sure you install LIBUSB or this will not work!
Find the Custom221 firmware (browse)
Step 4: Now click "next". Do not click Create firmware, but if the
[x]Install Installer and [x]Use Custom Boot Logo
are checked, its ok, you do not need to do anything to it.
Click Next. :notice: You’ll notice it doesn’t say anything about Cydia, this is because its automatically installed.
Step 5. You should see this screen now.
Now press DFU instructions, and do EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS!! it is much more clear then me.
A summary of what to do is press and hold the home and power buttons until the screen goes blank. At this point, release the power button and keep holding home, keep holding until you hear a beep/ding from yourcomputer. If you did it correctly your iPod screen should stay blank, but the computer will still detect it.
Step 6: Now, if you are in DFU mode you shall now press :Start Pre-JailBreak:
The screen should go white(this is where idiots have problems and flame about not getting the white screen), and it is now in Pre-jailbreak.
Step 7: Once that is done, iTunes should be up and saying something like "ipod is in recovery mode, please restore to new firmware". Go to the Restore button in iTunes(the page with the N/A info of your iPod). Hold Shift and click Restore (in iTunes), this allows you to choose which firmware you want to install.
Step 8: Now that you have been able to chose your Firmware, chose the Custom221 file that you downloaded at the beginning. And let your iPod restore.
-------------------NOW YOUR IPOD IS IN 2.2.1 JAILBROKEN--------------
Step 9: Ok, this part is easy, your devise is in 2.2.1, an older version(DOWNGRADED!!!) and can be updated to 3.0
Step 9 1/2: Do not bother getting your apps or anything on this iPod just yet, you now go to the :restore: Button in iTunes with your iPods info.
Chose the 'iPod2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore' firmware from the downloads and restore from that.
