End of Quickfreedom

Well I have not updated QuickFreedom in a few months and it does not seem xpwn will be updated. So I will not continue to release a final version. Thank you all for using QuickFreedom and links will remain for both 2.2.1 and the 3.0 BETA. I will be purchasing the new iPod Touch 3.0 this fall and more development and tools may be released later on this fall. The best method of jailbreaking your iPod Touch 2nd Gen is by using redsn0w.

Thank you to all the loyal users of QuickFreedom!

QuickFreedom 2.0 BETA

The Beta has been released! Please test it out and comment here or email me at dan@ipod2g.info for imporvments, ideas, bugs, etc. I have not tested iPod 1G, iPhone or iPhone 3G. Make sure you have upgraded to the 3.0 firmware before using QuickFreedom 2.0 Beta. Remember this is a Beta and custom ipsw creation, boot logo changing, etc are not available until a later date. Thank you for using QuickFreedom!

Note: This is just a Beta and full ipsw creation is not yet available, it this Beta does not work, please wait until QuickFreedom is updated with custom firmware creation.

If you get path error, try running QuickFreedom as an Admin.

Coming Soon: QuickFreedom 2.0 BETA

With Quickfreedom 2.0 Beta you can jailbreak your iPod Touch 2G wth 3.0 firmware. Although the ability to add custom logos, create custom firmware is not yet available, Quickfreedom will be updated for the 3.0 firmware using redsn0w. I have also included the option to install Cydia and Icy, since Installer will no longer be supported after July 1st, I will not include it with Quickfreedom. Expect a release shortly :)

Just as a side note, should I update it so it jaibreaks the iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPod 1G as well or make it iPod Touch 2G exclusive?

Beginning 3.0 Process

I'm going to try to upgrade Quickfreedom so it can jailbreak 3.0 firmware on the iPod Touch 2G. The only problem is that redsnow 0.7 seems like the only method to do this at the moment and an xpwn (used for creating custom ipsws) package for 3.0 firmware has not been released yet.

3.0?

I would like to know if I should update quickfreedom with 3.0 support, seeing that Redsnow's release (version 0.7) worked just fine I may not update Quickfreedom.

FAQ

If you are having trouble using QuickFreedom Please find your question below and it may help you.

1) I keep getting an 'Error Creating Firmware' everytime I try making it.

• Try running the program as an admin (Right click on QuickFreedom and select Run as Administrator)
• Make sure you are logged onto windows as an Administrator
• Reinstall QuickFreedom and try the above procedures again

2) I'm getting the blue screen of death and/or my usb ports and drivers are not working properly.

• LibUsb must be installed in compatiblity mode for windows xp sp2. If you forgot to do this or it did not work properly. Restart your computer and press F8 during boot and select Safe Mode. Uninstalling LIBUSB or doing a system restore to a time before LibUsb will fix all your driver issues.
• LibUsb is known to mess up your drivers so be careful about doing so.

3) Im getting error 6 in iTunes while restoring

• Problem is with your boot logo most likely. Make sure you meet all requirments for creating your own custom boot logo found in the help file in QuickFreedom.

4) I can't find the Custom Firmware file on my desktop!!

• Did you click Create Firmware in QuickFreedom during Step 2?

5) I downloaded the original 2.2.1 firmware, however it shows a bunch of files.

• When you download the Original 2.2.1 firmware do NOT extract it. It should have an extention ending with .ipsw

6) I am unable to enter dfu mode or my computer does not recognize it.

• To enter DFU mode, click here for a tutorial.
• If you get an USB device not recognized, uninstall LIBUSB and reinstall iTunes (will not delete any music or anything)

7) I'm getting "Error 13" in iTunes

• This problem is related to USB. Turn Off your ipod and unplug it. Replug the device and turn it on and place in the correct mode (DFU or Recovery). If this does not work reinstall iTunes/LibUsb

8) I keep getting "Error 1604 or 16xx in iTunes"

First of all this problem can sometimes be fixed if you restore to your original 2.2.1 firmware. If that fails then an entry through iRecovery needs to be changed so Auto-Boot = True. To do this follow this tutorial here.

Thanks for everyone who used QuickFreedom to jailbreak their ipod!
