Sn0wbreeze 2.0 is out now and you can jailbreak iPod Touch 2G iOS 4.1 with it. Process to jailbreak iOS 4.1 iPod Touch is similar to the one we posted to jailbreak iOS 4 with sn0wbreeze 1.6.1. So you can follow the old guide that comes with slideshow or you can follow the guide posted below:

Before you Begin:

  • Backup iPod Touch data
  • Download iOS 4.1 for iPod Touch 2G

Step 1: Run Sn0wbreeze. You will see the welcome screen.

Step 2: Select either of Simple Mode or Expert Mode]. If you want customizations like backgrounds, custom boot logo or multi-tasking then you should go for Expert Mode.

Each option lets you customize your IPSW. Select the ones you need and customize them to your requirements.
