If you are willing to jailbreak your ipod touch that has been already updated to the iOS 6.0.1 you can do it using the most famous and reliable iOS jailbreak tool called redsnow. At the moment the only available jailbreak for iOS 6.0.1 on iPod Touch is by iphone dev team in the form of redn0w 0.9.15b3.

Update: You should use Evasi0n iOS 6 Jailbreak to jailbreak iPod Touch 4G which is now latest and more reliable jailbreak solution, Click Here to download evasi0n and jailbreak iPod Touch.

The 6.0.1 jailbreak is stable and working properly without any bugs and errors once installed correctly on your iPod touch. The tutorial to jailbreak ipod touch 4g mentioned below is given step wise and is tested before posting on my site there are minor issues while jailbreaking is in progress which I have addressed at the step it may occur. Many people faced the error of “missing keys.plist” which can be avoided easily by first reading carefully complete jailbreak procedure and watching the video given at the end of this post and then you start your jailbreak process.

In addition to jailbreak ipod touch 4g, you can also jailbreak iphone 4, and iphone 3gs jailbreak using the same 6.0.1 jailbreak procedure, and if you have 3gs old boot-rom your 3gs jailbreak will be untethered 6.0.1 jailbreak.

Important Before You Jailbreak iPod Touch 4G

There are few things which every new jailbreaker must understand i.e. your iPod touch may become unresponsive if the proper jailbreak is failed and you may need to restore it using the iTunes therefore you must take a backup before starting the process to jailbreak ipod touch.

Secondly it is not an untethered ios 6.0.1 jailbreak which means whenever you are required to reboot your iPod Touch you have to do it using the redsn0w, yes you will need a computer each time you need to reboot your iPod Touch. Some time a jailbreak app installation may requires reboot in that case you should read the message carefully before tapping Yes or Reboot. If respring is required it does not matter and not requires tethered booting of your ipod touch 4g.

How To Jailbreak iPod Touch 4G

Jailbreak iPod Touch 4g Step 1:

Download the ipsw firmware file for your ipod touch for iOS 6.0 remember even you are jailbreaking 6.0.1 you will need firmware of 6.0 to jailbreak ipod touch using the Limera1n exploit. Click Here To Download iOS 6.0.

Jailbreak iPod Touch 4g Step 2:

Download Redsn0w 0.9.15b3 or b2 both will work to jailbreak your device. Click the download links for WinMac. After the file is downloaded extract it preferably on desktop so you can access easily. Open the redsnow folder and run the redsn0w.exe file: in Windows right click and select Run As Administrator and in OS X Mountain Lion, use Ctrl-Click => Open.

Jailbreak iPod Touch 4g Step 3:

Connect your ipod touch to your computer. It is recommended to put your ipod touch in DFU mode at this stage just do as I have mentioned: turn off your ipod and now press and hold both power and Home buttons for 10 seconds and after 10 seconds while holding Home button release power button and keep pressing Home button for further 10 seconds and release it.

Your ipod screen should remain blank at the end and when you will open Redsn0w the status of your ipod touch will be shown in the middle bottom of redsnow window i,e Detected device ipod (DFU Mode). Or you can perform this step later when redsnow will ask you to do these steps. Some people are confused at this stage and their ipod touch either becomes ON or goes in recovery mode, don’t worry just press and hold both buttons for a while and your device will reboot and you can try again.

Jailbreak iPod Touch 4g Step 4:

After the redsn0w program runs you will see the redsnow main window which is showing two options i.e. Jailbreak & Extras. Click Extras => Select IPSW the program will ask you to select ipsw file this is the ios 6.0 firmware file which you downloaded in first step. Browse your computer and locate and select to open. Nothing will happen at this stage only you will see a message that successfully identified with the build number in the message body. Click back to go to main RedSn0w 0.9.15b3 window again.

Jailbreak iPod Touch 4g Step 5

Click Jailbreak to go to next screen, you will see a quick message window saying preparing jailbreak data , patching kernel and then option to select from three options. Just select Install Cydia which is already selected so just click next. If you have already put your ipod touch in DFU mode this step will complete smoothly and install the jailbreak and Cydia for 6.0.1, otherwise you will have to put your device in DFU mode.

You will see some messages on redsnow screen with progress bar followed by some activity on your ipod screen (first matrix text moving up and then RedSn0w icon showing progress for Moving applications) after which the device will reboot at the end.
After reboot if you check the springboard you will not find the Cydia installed this is because you have one step to complete the jailbreak and Cydia installation. The final step is boot tethered your ipod touch. If this was an untethered 6.0.1 jailbreak you would not need this extra step and jailbreak was complete.

Jailbreak iPod Touch 4g Final Step – Boot Tethered

Just complete the steps 3 & 4 and after selecting the 6.0 ipsw file go to Extras => Just Boot, if not in DFU put in DFU and wait until the screen activity is complete and your device reboots. At this stage one may ask why we are selecting 6.0 firmware again but this is required otherwise you will face the error of “missing keys.plist”.
After you have completed the process, you ipod touch 4g is now boot tethered and you will see Cydia installed on your iPod touch 4g. Enjoy.

If you are willing to jailbreak other devices like iPhone 4s, iPad 2, iPad 3 running iOS 5.1.1 or older version you can visit our complete jailbreak tutorial index where you can find specific jailbreak guide for your device as per the firmware it is installed.
