The jailbreak for iPod Touch OS 3.1.2 is finally here, and from none other than George Hotz who has been jailbreaking the iPhone since it was first launched. Called blackra1n, this Windows only jailbreak tool works for all iPhones ( 2G, 3G, and 3GS ) as well as iPod Touch 2G and 3G.
Warning 3G and 3GS unlockers, do not upgrade to 3.1.2 using iTunes if you want to keep your unlock. Baseband cannot be downgraded. Check out the dev team’s offerings. Also blackra1n doesn’t hacktivate.
Jailbreak your iPod Touch using blackra1n
- Upgrade to OS 3.1.2 via iTunes. It’s free if you were already using 3.0 on iPod Touch otherwise you’ll have to buy it.
- Once your iPod Touch has upgraded to 3.1.2, download blackra1n. Use Windows XP compatibility mode if you’re using Windows Vista or Windows 7.
- Launch the tool, and click the ‘make it ra1n’ button.
- It’ll take some time while your iPod Touch is jailbroken. You’ll see George’s picture, which means it’s working. After it’s down, it’ll restart.
- You should see the blackra1n icon in your apps now. Launch it.
- From here, you can install Cydia, which lets you install jailbreak applications. You can also try Rock or Icy.
- Congratulations, you have your iPod Touch 3.1.2 jailbreak up and running.

Hi,
I had my Itouch 2G already jailbreaked with the firmware 3.0, but I decided to restore, update it to 3.1.2, and jailbreak it again. The thing is, that everything worked according to the “guide” and I can install cydia andstuff like that, but there is no way to add the cracked ipas that I had before. Is that normal??, or am I missing something in the process.
Thanks
Hi, I’ve solved the problem I posted before, I just followed some instructions posted in this forum, which worked perfectly:
@ SAFAD,
Found this via Google, not sure if it will work for you.
Open Cydia > Manage > Sources > Edit
Add source “http://cydia.hackulo.us” cant post links >. Hackulo.us > “AppSync for OS3.0″ > Read info
Install > done

You’re welcome :)
i was just wondering if after my ipod is jailbroken will it erase all my music, apps, ect. or will it just add the blackra1n app?
Yes it could. Better back up before jailbreaking.
what are the chances of everything getting erased?
my problem is when i install blackra1n and my akku will go down i have to dock it on itunes and all my apps and music is deleted
why ???
Hey hello, after downloading everything. Where do I go to get the applications?
