8GB 2nd Gen 4.2.1 Jailbreak
I have recently bought an iPod Touch, was second hand i paid £60.00 for it which is a reasonable price. When i got it home i found to my dismay that i cannot install any apps onto from the app store as the firmware was out of date an to find online this device cannot be updated any further so how do i add apps like Facebook to my iPod Touch. Well after 6hrs an endless Google searches reading guides i was able to do it. I have found many things on various different websites so i have written this blog not only to offer the downloads i found but to keep them all in one place. So first of all here's the files you need:
This is all that you will need to jailbreak your iPod.
The greenpois0n has instructions on what to o to install the jailbreak. Once this is one you will find an app on your home screen called loader. Select this an choose the option to install Cydia.
Once this has installed and completed all its updates you will need to reopen cydia and select the Manage tab. From here select sources this will give you a list of sources that cydia runs from click the edit button on the top right and then add on the top left. this will ask you for a web address here type in :
http://cydia.hackulo.us
Once this source has been added click on the search item and type in Appsync 4.x install this.
Once you have one all of the above you can add any .ipa file through itunes without it producing an error. So now to the reason why i did all this to install facebook. After endless searching i have found a version of Facebook that will work on the 4.2.1 if anyone's interested
once you have downloaded this you will be able to install it irectly from itunes. If you have already a version of Facebook it will ask you to replace it, say yes an there you go Facebook re-installed on your ios 4.2.1
Hope this is of help to anyone
