I've been doing this for 3 hrs now, but still it's stuck in the "waiting for reboot" part. I tried to unplug and plug my iPod again but it still didn't work. What will I do now?!

I've unplugged my iPod touch from the computer because the jailbreak process appears to get stuck during a "waiting for reboot stage". I've plugged my itouch back, but now it isn't working.

I could not get this jailbreak to work with my ipod touch. It seemed like a really nice jail break, real short but did not work. If someone knows how to make this work please add comment for future users and if you could also sent me an email that would be great.

Matt, Unfortunately, I believe you have to downgrade to an earlier OS. I had the same problem. I upgraded to 3.0 thinking it was going to be sweet only to find out I could not jailbreak. I ended up going back to 2.2.1 and this client worked like a CHARM! If you can somehow downgrade to 2.2.1 (5H11a), then you should have no problem. Last time I checked they were having some problems with jailbreaking the 3.0 OS, but I could be wrong by now. Hope this helps.

Hello, anyone who had positive results with this. How long did it take for the jail break to work (while it's showing the apple after rebooting). I don't know whether I should try again, or see what happens if I wait. Please help!
