Using this tutorial you will be able to untether jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 running on iPod Touch 3G. This tutorial uses Sn0wBreeze 2.7.3 for Windows.

We are not developers of jailbreak utilities, so we cannot assure that everything will work just fine. However we tried this tutorial on several devices and succeeded.

UPDATE: Please, consider reading our Jailbreak & Unlock FAQ, especially if you have questions or troubles.

UPDATE: Apple released iOS 4.3.4 that is only tethered jailbreakable. Apple has stopped signing iOS 4.3.3, so you can NOT restore to 4.3.3 any more (both original and custom), unless you have saved your SHSH keys for 4.3.3.

If you are on 4.3.3 already - jailbreak with redsn0w or jailbreakme.

Proceed only if you have iOS 4.3.3 SHSH keys saved.

Step One

Make a folder called "Pwnage". Download a couple of things:
