  1. sorry the dude. i only have the untethered jailbreak for windows. if u could get to a computer that has windows then give this a try.

    This is a step by step guide on how to jailbreak ur 2nd gen ipod touch with firmware 2.2.1 on windows *make sure u have winrar installed in ur pc*.

    -if u have windows vista this is how u install libusb

    Right click on libusb installer, then select properties
    Under compatibility tab, check execute this program in Windows XP service pack 2 and check execute as administrator

    -go to the link below and download the following (libusb, c++ red, unofficialsn0w, firmware 2.2.1)
    -install libusb
    -install c++ red
    -extract unofficialsn0w (exract it to ur desktop so it is easy to find)

    -rename the 2.2.1 firmware that you’ve downloaded OriginalFW
    -open the extracted unofficialsn0w folder and in it u will another folder called IPSW
    -drag and drop OriginalFW in that folder.
    -go back into the unofficialsn0w folder
    -look for a FILE called IPSW
    -there are two of them
    -one of them should begin to jailbreak the OriginalFW
    -it should take a while (just click on both of them until u hit the right one)
    -once it is finished with the jailbreak
    -open the IPSW FOLDER
    -in it should be two firmwares. one called OriginalFW another called JB
    -right click JB and open with winrar
    -navigate your way to Firmwareall_flashall_flash.n72ap.production
    -once in there minimize it
    -in the same IPSW FOLDER there is a file called
    -LLB.n72ap.RELEASE.img3
    -drag and drop “LLB.n72ap.RELEASE.img3″ into the minimized JB folder Firmwareall_flashall_flash.n72ap.production
    -now u can close everything
    -plug in ur ipod
    -place ur ipod into recovery (dfu) mode

    how to place ipod into recovery mode

    -while plugged in
    -hold down the home button and count to 5
    -(while holding down the home button) hold down the home button and count to 10
    -now let go of the power button and keep ur finger on the home button until it goes into dfu mode
    -note that this part is tricky and where a lot of ppl tend to go wrong
    -if it does not go into dfu mode just try the procedure over again until it does.

    -once ur ipod is in recovery (dfu) mode
    -open itunes
    -a window will pop up saaying ur ipood is recovery mode
    -click ok
    -open the unofficialsn0w FOLDER once more
    -double click on a FILE called RUNME
    -ur ipod screen should turn white
    -this is very important ^^^
    -now hold down the shift key on ur keyboard and left click restore
    -(shift+left click restore)
    -navigate ur way to the firmware called JB
    -and click it then click ok
    -ur ipod should begin to install the jailbroken firmware with no problem.

    really hope this helps!
