Hacking the iPod Touch! email this discussion to a friend?

jckck99 (36)5 months ago

Hey everyone, I have had my iPod Touch for a long time now, what bothers me is I see many people around me with the same thing, yet not hacked! To be honest, its a waste of money to buy one and not hack it! Yes there are some downsides to doing this, but talk about getting your moneys worth, it makes sense!

Has anyone hacked their's? Do you think that this technology is becoming to easy to get more out of? Please post your opinions and comments!

Best of Luck!
Jack

I think that buying a hacked Ipod or Iphone is a good way to save money but the problem is that Apple's warranty does not cover hacked/unlocked products. You might enjoy it while it works,but once it breaks you can't get it fixed or replaced for free,as most regular Apple stuff. Have friends who work in the retail store

Thats very true in what your saying! But if you look at the normal iPod when you buy it, a load of money for a pretty basic package, so hacking really opens it up! You can even call off the iPod Touch thanks to developers! So I don't have to spend money on a new iPhone! Make sense!

Guess you have to be either a tech or just pray it never breaks lol
I went thru 4 Ipods in 3 months,lucky i didn't have to pay for the replacement. Not that i do anything to them,they just freeze. I must have a bad energy or something:)

You can't actually 'break' the iPod touch by 'hacking' or 'jailbreaking' it. It's not a firmware hack, it's a TIF exploit, which Apple probably put there on purpose so that hackers could develop loads of apps for it.

If it goes wrong you simply restore to factory settings.

why do you need to hack your iPod Touch? Do you mean unlock? I thought the iPod Touch was never locked at the first place? It is not a phone.

it's called jailbreak which is different from unlocking it. jailbreaking your ipod allows you to put a lot of apps including games and other cool stuff such as being able to call people over sip-voip. jailbreaking is free and is definately worth it if you have an ipod (or iphone!!).

Yes, I completely agree that jailbreaking it has its own advantages, but looking at my situation, I wouldn't jailbreak it for anything. I live in a very rough place and things get to face a lot of jerks and shakes and what not and they tend to get spoilt easily. Now I jailbreak my iPod touch and something goes wrong with it, I'll be doomed to death.. So I just put off the jailbreaking till the warranty expires..

JAILBREAK!!!!
well if you hack it to put third party apps on it you can really make your ipod touch or iphone alot more fun. At this point if you have not already i would wait a few weeks until apple releases there version of this installer.

I hacked mine shortly after taking it out of the box, charging it and hooking it up to my router. Piece of cake! I would recommend jailbreaking to anyone who has an ipod touch.
There's a site that'll do the jailbreak automatically just by visiting a link. Just type in 'ipod touch jailbreak' in google - you'll find the one.

Have fun with your touch, and keep your eyes out for new sources on the forums - some have malicious code, but are usually flagged up very quickly by the techies.
