Just bought iPod Touch 4G, what should I do before jailbreak?

[Celestica]

I just bought an iPod Touch 4G in Canada, still unactivated (says to plug into iTunes when I turn it on). Are there any things I should do before jailbreaking it? Do I simply upgrade to latest 4.3.2 in iTunes, or should I use custom firmware? What is the purpose of using custom firmware for iPod if there is no need for unlock? Thanks.

redsn0w is appearing to be having mega issues with ipt4g, just use a custom fw

What problems is it having? Can you link me to the post that people are saying they're having problems?

[bondkt]

reds 0w puts them into a bootlogo lopp. and no i can't, it seems everyone gave up on it (a search may help). but really, use sn0wbreeze or pwnagetool

[Celestica]

What's the difference between custom firmware made by sn0wbreeze and PwnageTool? I heard PwnageTool is more stable, is that true?
So I would just use redsn0w to put the device into DFU mode, turn on TinyUmbrella TSS server, then shift+restore to custom firmware in iTunes?

yup

Its not just redsnow, it is also Snowbreeze, and Pwnage tool (custom firmwares don't work for the people in the apple logo loop)

Before or after jb'ing, it doesn't matter, but save your SHSH blobs, and soon!


The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella

[esuke_ueki93]

The best thing to do now is to use tinyumbrella to save your shsh. Then use sn0wbreeze or pwnage tools to make custom firmware (whichever fit you best) or you can enjoy redsn0w for a peaceful drip into the jailbreakers world. Except for a fact that you might stuck in a recovery loop like some of those guys out there.
If you need any help just p!m me on my y!m i'll answer as soon as I can!
Good luck.
BTW my ipt4 is on 4.1.2 :P

if there are all these problems with Snowbreeze, redsnow and Pwnage tool why not use greenpoison rc6 ? Thats what I used on my ipod touch 4th gen and have yet to have a problem .

4.2.1

4.2.1

Only 4.2.1 can be jailbroken with GP later firmware can't this guy has just recently bought his ipt, who knows which firmware it holds, so the best is to activate it with itunes and see which firmware it has and then use the jailbreak software which fits for the firmware to jailbreak it, simple. there a lots of jailbreak software for both mac and pc to chose. Be smart!
