Scratch

I had mine JBen when I had 3.1.3, and had it all set up like IOS4. I used Spirit to do so (Untethered). I clicked a button, and it was done. I then proceeded to put a GBC and GBA emulator on there. Fun times. I also had a custom theme going.

Now my iTouch has OS4 on it, un-jailbroken. I only wish Apple gave me the orientation lock, and the Springboard backgrounds (dang 2nd gen).

So 4.2.1 works?

Depends on the model. I would say do some research into what model/version iDevice you have, whether your jailbreak will be tethered/untethered, and go from there.

However, this should help. Or not.

EDIT: I can only find RedSn0w jailbreaks. Sorry.

My brother is an expert, and he said no! He knows his jailbreaks!

What was his reason?

He said this:

NO, don't whatever, don't do it!

or something like that...

That doesn't seem like a good reason. I did mine with what I said earlier with no problems.

whats jailbreaking

Unlocking an iPod so it can receive homebrew software. However, they are prone to catching viruses.

The only way to jailbreak 4.2.x is untethered, and I think the only working tool so far is Redsn0w. So you're kind of out of luck there. I know your pain; I had an iPod Touch 2nd gen (MC model) running 4.1, and for a long time there there were no untethered jailbreaks for it.

Do you mean the only way to jailbreak 4.2.x is tethered?

Er, yeah. That's what I meant. :$ Changing that now. By the way, I heard that there's a new release of Greenpois0n coming soon that will jailbreak iOS 4.2.x untethered, but you know how many times the Chronic Dev team insisted it was "coming soon" last time before they finally released.

I like Graviboard, Backgrounder, iFile, DOSPAS Beta (custom source required), and Safari Download Manager.

If you jailbreak, I highly recommend SBSettings and Activator (most apps install this so you have no choice)

I am just kinda afarid. Do you mind posting a project on how to do it? Please tell me this is avable for Windows!

When I went through the process, I wasn't exactly jumping for all happy joy either. I was scared that Limera1n might end up bricking my iPod. In fact I jailbroke TWICE just to be sure all went well. Now I have Cydia themes and apps out the wazoo.
To make a long story short, jailbreak. There's a 99.999% chance it will work successfully. It rarely fails. If it does, however, brick your iDevice (which means it won't boot) just hold down home+power for awhile and it will DFU itself. Then restore with iTunes and walla, all problems fixed.

Under manage, there is a sources button. Adding more gives you more items to install.

You jailbreak it to get Cydia....

Also, if anyone knows, if I downgrade iPod Touch 4g to iOS 4.1, would I still have the camera app?

About the camera, not sure. I think they came with 4.0 right away. Maybe?

@thebuilderdd - It sounded like you wanted to know how.....my mistake.

On the camera, Google/Yahoo!/Bing it. I have had no prior experience with the camera.

If you bought an iPod touch 4g when 4.1 was preinstalled, you might be able to try it, but I recommend you just keep 4.2.1, an untethered jailbreak is a mac-only beta.

If it was preinstalled with a higher version of iOS, don't attempt a downgrade.

The chronic-dev team released Greenpois0n iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak. But it got so popular, the site is crashing left and right.

I'm pretty sure that was only for Mac...
