Step 1: Start iTunes and backup everything from Contacts, Calendars, Photos, Videos and Apps.

Step 2: Update your iPod touch 3G and iPod touch 2G MC model on the latest iOS 4.0 firmware with iTunes. Download links for the firmware and iTunes 9.2.1 can be found below.

Step 3: Once you are done with the update, make sure you are connected to a WiFi network.

Step 4: Open Safari on your iPod touch and navigate to http://jailbreakme.com.

Step 5: “Slide to Jailbreak” to begin the jailbreak process.

Step 6: Wait till the jailbreak tool download the required files..

Step 7: Once the download is completed, it will automatically start the jailbreak process. Just don’t do anything silly at this point. Wait till the jailbreak process is completed.

Step 8: Once done, you will be greeted with the following message.

Step 9: Close the browser and look for Cydia. You should now have it on your phone!

hey guys thanks for the help...

but and there is a but, jailbreakme wont have none of it, says my version is too new. i tried this before it was mentioned on here also saw the modmyi and same thing there, this version (4.0.2) just seems too new!

ive tried reverting my iphone back to an older firmware but itunes wont have any of that...

ill keep trying but thanks for the suggestions so far, anyone got anything else they can suggest im open to anything!

i know it wont be long before a decent jailbreak for this firmware will pop up but just thought as its so new someone might have an idea.

regards dave
