How to Jailbreak iPod Touch iOS 4.3.4 Using RedSnow

This is a detailed and step by step tutorial on how to jailbreak iPod Touch with the latest iOS 4.3.4 using RedSnow 0.9.8b3 for Windows (I am currently using Win7). However, I do not recommend you to upgrade to 4.3.4. After I jailbroke my touch, Cydia crashes (click here to fix Cydia crash). You should first stick to iOS 4.3.3.

What you need:
1. redsn0w_win_0.9.8b3 (this is the version of redsn0w that supports iOS 4.3.4)
2. iTunes (check recent updates first and then update your iTunes)
3. iOS 4.3.4 ipsw file (downloaded when you update your iOS)

To jailbreak:
Step 1: Download 4.3.4 IPSW file.
Step 2: Update and Restore your iPod Touch Software using the latest version of iTunes.

Step 3: Open redsn0w _win_0.9.8b3.

Step 4: Click Browse.

Step 5: Look for the IPSW file with the file name iPod4,1_4.3.4_8K2_Restore.ipsw. This can be usually found in this directory C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates. AppData folder is usually set to be hidde, unhide it first if you can't find the IPSW file.

Step 6: You should see in redsn0w _win_0.9.8b3 "Processing firmware" and it should display "IPSW file successfully identified".

Step 7: Click Next. Tick Install Cydia  and then Next.

Step 8: The window below will appear next. You will be asked to enter DFU mode. Be sure first to turn off your device and plug it in.

Step 9: redsn0w will do the rest for you. this window will appear if you are already finished. Click Finish.
