Hey i was looking at how to jailbreak an ipod touch and I found out that mine is on the software 4.2.1 and i need to downgrade it to be able to use ''thetechgame.org''
I saw a video on how to downgrade but i was wondering if you downgrade do you lose all of the stuff on your ipod, if you do is there anyway to go around this??

thanks!!!

He is downgrading to another iOs so a backup wouldn't work.


The only thing you can save is your apps by syncing them with iTunes. Everything else will go.

What model is your iDevice? (iPhone 3G , iPod 4?)

If it is a 3G then you can use redsn0w (google)

If it is higher than that (3GS , 4) you will need to use Greenpoison (google).

Whichever way you do it you will not lose anything. Unless you downgrade your iOs.

Your welcome.

Here is what you should consider.

Redsn0w- You need to download the ipsw file. e.g 4.2.1 : I have used this many times and had no problems. ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] )

Greenpoison- You don't need anything just your iDevice and the cable. I have never tried this but I think it is ok. ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] )

I hope this helped and have fun with your un-restricted iDevice!

Greenpois0n is the newest program for 4.2.1 untethered and is the best so far for it and redsn0w is horrible it screwed up mu iPod touch at least 5 times n almost lost my iPod forever. Greenpois0n is easier to use to jailbreak than redsn0w
