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.
HELP** umm, my ipod screen has "Downloading Jailbreak Data..." with a downloading icon. Its been like that for 10minutes. What do I do?? Is this normal that it takes this long to download the jailbreak data.
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.
Yea so I tried to use this program, and it seems to be gettig stuck on the restart part... I've unpluged my Ipod 2 or 3 times, moved the usb port around and still getting no reboot action... I really had High hopes for this program... but it seems to be a no go :(
please help. i have done this three time and every time it gets suck on the downloading jailbraking data... screen and it stays there for ten minutes and then it flashes white and goes to recovery mode. please help meeeeee

OS 3.0 cause thats what i have
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.
worked great! i tried another mac jailbreak and it put my ipod into restore mode and i couldnt get it out of it. With this program it worked flawlessly and i had cydia on my ipod in less than 10 min. Thanks!
this is a horrible client!. i downloaded it and did everything... but in it u dont even get free apps! u get the stuff they got which is dumb shit which has nothing to do. someone please reply if they can get me free apps. i want to get 4000 points in mobsters :'(
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!
