How i installed Cydia on Ipod Touch 2G - 4.2.1

This weekend for me was kinda busy , i had an Ipod Touch 2g and restored it to 4.2.1 (never knew about it before;) and for Me the Concept of "Jail Breaking" is alien , coz i never tried it - This week i thought of adding some apps to my Ipod and discovered , things can get a little tricky if you dont have it Jail Breaked or have Cydia Installed.

I started my search as a Nomad , Ofcourse Google was the starting point , and good thing about google is , you just need to tell it everything "openly" for it to find a right answer :) i did that , took me quiet a while to find what i was looking for.So i thought to share my findings , may be , its going to help someone else , so here is what i found:

In order to Jail Break Ipod Touch for Firmeware 4.2.1 best tool i came across :

1 - Greenpoison.
Here is a Helping Video to work around with it.


Its very Easy to use , Just need to make sure , Ipod is properly set on DFU Mode.

2 - Snowbreez 2.2.1

Here is a Helping Video to work around with it.



I hope it helped :)

P.S I was able to Jailbreak with Green Poison , but also tried it with Snowbreez because with Greenpoison , sometimes it happens that Cydia Doesn't gets installed with Loader , so i tried it with Snowbreez later and i have Cydia now :)

Good Luck :)
