MuscleNerd has just announced the good news that Dev Team found a way of carrying out a jailbreak on the iPod Touch in a permanent way and this without the assistance of a computer after each restart. He however regrets to have to reveal this hack now because he would have surely been of a good usage for the next iPhone. We highly advise you to wait for a version of PwnageTool and QuickPwn supporting this new hack in order to accomplish the jailbreak of their iPod Touch.

For the real geeks out there that want to try MuscleNerd instructions, read below…

What follows are MuscleNerd instructions, use at your own risk !

iPhone 2.2.1 update firmware is a small bug fix release, it does not bring anything new to the table. We are still waiting for the real deal, the 2.3 update!

Anyway, for those who would like to update anyway to 2.2.1 and still be able to jailbreak and/or unlock, it is now possible!

Before you proceed, remember :

Traces in the new iPhone firmware 2.2.1 reveal the new iPhone model named iPhone 2,1
The first generation of iPhone was known under the name of “iPhone 1,1” while the iphone 3G was named “iPhone 1,2 “. These denominations do not change in the event of increase in the size of the hard drive but only in the event of different functionalities!

In a similar way we also noted that the iPod Touch, whose name of origin was known as “iPod 1,1” became “iPod 2,1” since one added there a loudspeaker, a control of volume, a microphone and a processor much more powerful than the first generation.

This new number of model of iPhone (2,1) was found in the USBDeviceConfiguration.plist file which was in a nonencrypted firmware.

iPod Touch v1 = iPod 1,1
iPod Touch v2 = iPod 2,1
iPhone v2 = iPhone 1,1
iPhone 3G = iPhone 1,2
iPhone ?? = iPhone 2,1 … (new model ?)
