ipod-4g-windows-511

This is step-by-step instructions on how to perform tethered jailbreak of your iPod Touch 4G on iOS 5.1.1 firmware using RedSn0w 0.9.11 for Windows.

Tethered jailbreak means that each time you restart your device you will need to connect it to a computer and run redsn0w.

Important: Please, consider reading our Jailbreak & Unlock FAQ, if you have other device or firmware and especially if you have questions or troubles.

Important information.

Please think first, before you do something.

If you have iOS 5.0.1 firmware - you can do an untethered jailbreak using one of our tutorials.

Step One

Create a folder on your desktop (or any other folder on your computer) called Pwnage

Download the latest version RedSn0w 0.9.11 from here. Save it in the Pwnage folder.

Extract the redsn0w executable from the RedSn0w zip file into the same folder.

Step Two

Connect your iPod to the computer and launch iTunes.

Select your iPod from the list of devices on the left. Create a backup by right-clicking on iPod name in Devices (iTunes left pane) and choosing Back Up.

If you are already on iOS 5.1.1 you can now skip to step three.

Download iPod Touch 4G firmware iOS 5.1.1 to Pwnage folder. It is better to use Firefox, because some browsers (f.e., Safari) extract ipsw:

Open iTunes. Now hold down Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) key and click the Restore button.

itunes-ipod-touch

Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and select the iOS 5.1.1 firmware ipsw. Click the Open button to continue.

iTunes will ask if you want to setup your iPod as a new device or restore from the backup. Choose Restore from Backup if you want to preserve your contacts and other information.

Step Three

Once iTunes has finished updating your iPod to the desired firmware open the Pwnage folder on your desktop and launch the redsn0w application from the redsn0w folder we extracted earlier.

Right click the executable and set it to run as administrator.

To have access to the root file system of your iPod (via file managers like iFunBox or iPhone Explorer) install application called afc2add in Cydia.

Step Fourteen

Do not forget to change your default password if you've installed openssh.
