Please do not use sms lingo in forums.

4.1 can jailbroken using limera1n. Here is a guide for the same iOS4.1JB guide.

jailbreak for ios 4.3.1 is out here is the link for the same iOS 4.3.1 JB @ Redmondpie

now you have to upgrade to 4.3.1 and jailbreak the device but since you are on 4.1 I'll suggest to say there use Limera1n and jailbreak. I myself use 4.1 and face no problems whatsoever. People complained some apps were not working on 4.2.1.

sorry for using sms lingo in the forums....

What will be the basic difference between 4.1 and 4.2 or 4.3 overall if we see??

^ upgrade the ipod to 4.3.1 and use the redsnow 0.9.6rc9 given in the link above by Metalspree

Basic difference between 4.1,4.2,4.3 ... just different versions , newer is better . 4.2 has game center for multiplayer gameplay and 4.3 has a faster browser engine .

The process is pretty safe , i updated my ipod to 4.3.1 today and jailbroke the same with redsnow

Why do you want to jailbreak?

Isnt the 4.3.1 JB still tethered?

Isnt the 4.3.1 JB still tethered?

Sorry to bump up an old thread...Did not want to create a new thread for the similar query...

Can we jailbreak IOS5 on iPod Touch 3G....??

Any guide available for that...I have never jail broken an apple device before. :ashamed:

Thanks

 

[Metalspree]

No unteethered JB yet for iOS5.

There is a semi-untethered jailbreak wherein we can start the ipod but cant use the jailbreak features right ?? , but can we use the apps installed using installous if its synced with itunes.

 

[Metalspree]

Everything works except that u have to Jb if u restart the ipod.

 

[fLUX]

Hmm so its not like i have to boot tethered i will have to jailbreak again ?

 

[Metalspree]

Yes it has to be JB everytime u boot it.

 

[Pranav.Falcon]

Ok thanks a lot for your responses...

Can I get a link to a simple guide?

And is it easy...I mean is it risky...Is there a chance of the iPod getting bricked??

Semi untethered means you can reboot successfully and installous apps will work after reboot. Only you wont be able to use jailbreak apps like sbsettings until you boot tethered with computer. Was I right?
