May 2nd 2012, 19:46 Using this tutorial you will be able to create a custom firmware, tether jailbreak and unlock iOS 5.1 running on iPod Touch 4G. This tutorial uses Sn0wBreeze 2.9.3 for Windows. Tethered jailbreak means that each time you restart your device you will need to connect it to a computer and run iBooty. 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. Step One Make a folder called "Pwnage". Download a couple of things: Download Sn0wBreeze 2.9.3 or higher here. Download iOS 5.1 for iPod Touch 4G: iPod4,1_5.1_9B176_Restore.ipsw. Extract the Sn0wBreeze executable from zip archive.

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 5.1 firmware ipsw. Click the Open button to continue. After iOS update iTunes might ask if you want to setup your iPod as a new device or restore from the backup. Ignore this or choose anything. It doesn't matter, since you will restore once again to a custom firmware. Step Two Double click on Sn0wbreeze exe icon to launch the application. The application will launch. Click Ok button. You will see the main window. Press blue-arrow button. You will see IPSW selection menu. Click Browse button. Navigate to folder with downloaded firmware, select it and click Open button.

If you fail to put the device into DFU mode you can start again.
