Posted by dkszone on October 19, 2010

iTouch 2G iOS 4.1 users can now jailbreak their device using GreenPois0n, the jailbreak tool based on Limera1n exploit. GreenPois0n RC4 is now available for download and this version has brought support for both MC and Non-MC models of iPod Touch 2G.

Till now ipt 2G users had to use Redsn0w 0.9.6 Beta to jailbreak iPod Touch 2G, with MC models having a tethered jailbreak. They can now jailbreak iPod Touch 2G untethered using either Windows or Mac version of GreenPois0n. Support for ipt2g in Linux version will be coming soon.
