    Default Jailbreak iPod Touch MC086BT?

    I have never done this before so please excuse my stupidity. I have read so much about it that I am more confused. So many different methods for different models.

    So I wondered if someone could help. I have a iPod Touch 8Gb model MC086BT. I think this is the third model but as it is 8Gb it's the same as the second. Or something like that. It's all a confusion to me. I am on os 4.0.2.

    Can this be jailbroken?

    not on 4.0.2 you can't. You'll need to wait for a new jailbreak

    Is it not possible to go back to an earlier firmware?

    Sorry guys you are both wrong. Not only that but is extremely simple. I'm not sure if I can post links so will avoid doing so until someone can confirm it is okay.

    1. Downgrade the firmware from 4.0.2 to 4.0. I got the file from the net and it was a simple procedure.
    2. Go to a particular website using safari on the iPod and it does all the jailbreaking for you in just a few minutes.

    I now have a jailbroken iPod Touch with Cydia installed and it only took 5 minutes. And no I have never jailbroken before and/or got any SHSH blobs.

    His IPT is 2nd gen (same H/W as iPhone 3G) so SHSH blobs are not needed to downgrade.
