Mac Guide – We will use this guide to:

Jailbreak – iPod Touch 1st Gen – iPod Touch 2G [2nd Gen]

Important !

If you have used Categories – Please Remove everything out of Folders created by categories. For ex. Apps Folder – has all Apps inside – Remove these Apps from within this folder & delete App Folder do this for all Folders created by categories – it is important that you First remove apps from within categories folder & then remove the folder itself. Now uninstall categories completely from Cydia or icy. If you do not do this – We foundAppStore showing App Installed but we were unable to locate the App (even via – Spotlight).

If you have Blank Icons Installed Please remove them Prior to Restore.

We tested this and found – Apps were missing – Storage was taken by (other) in iTunes – Blanks will show up on the device after a sync (This is because Blank Icons are bookmarks & bookmarks are backed up in iTunes) so to avoid complications afterwards we suggest you take these tiny steps to get a clean jailbroken Device.

Now Hook your device up & let is Back up – This Back up will promise a clean restore without any extra stuff inserted.

While these steps are not necessary but they will surely promise a clean install. We Highly recommend that you Do this. This jailbreak will install Cydia (no Icy,icy can be installed from within Cydia).
