UPDATE: Apple released iOS 5.1 that is only tethered jailbreakable with redsn0w. Apple has stopped signing iOS 5.0.1, so you can NOT restore to 5.0.1 any more (both original and custom), unless you have saved your SHSH keys for 5.0.1. If you are on 5.0.1 you can jailbreak with redsn0w.

This is step-by-step instructions on how to perform untethered jailbreak of your iPod Touch 3G on iOS 5.0.1 firmware using RedSn0w 0.9.10 for Windows.

Untethered jailbreak means that each time you restart your device you will NOT need to connect it to a computer and run utilities.

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.

Step One

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

Download the latest version RedSn0w 0.9.10 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 5.0.1 you can now skip to step three.

Download iPod Touch 3G firmware iOS 5.0.1 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.

Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and select the iOS 5.0.1 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.

On Windows Vista or Windows 7 right click the executable and set it to run as administrator in Windows Vista/XP compatibility mode.

Step Six

RedSn0w will now guide you through the steps to get into DFU mode.

1. Hold down Power button for 3 seconds.

2. Without releasing Power button, hold down both the Home button and the Power button for 10 seconds.

3. Release the Power button and continue holding the Home button until RedSn0w detects the device (~15 seconds).

Step Eleven

Once this is complete you will be notified that RedSn0w is done.

When your iPod finishes rebooting (5 minutes or so) it will be jailbroken with Cydia installed on the SpringBoard.

Step Twelve

Run Cydia. Let it do all the necessary updates.

Step Thirteen

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.
