Any questions, contact me on twitter: Primerīefore I start posting exploits, tutorials and whatnot here, I just wanna get a few things down I just don’t want people getting their hopes up that’s it’s jailbroken just yet or what I have done to be blown out of proportion. I am primarily focusing on exposing some of the (for now) hidden features of the device. What I have also done is figured out a way for the iPod to boot with modified files (eg the SpingBoard Plist), bypassing the procedure it takes to stop this, I hope this will allow us to figure out a way to jailbreak it. I figured out how to remove them and insert a blank space into the springboard. Just a quick post before I gotto bed, the iPod Nano hasn’t been “jailbroken” as some sites claim, I do not have root access over the device. You can follow or get involved in the new touch Nano hacking process at or follow me on twitter ( to track how I’m doing.Īt the moment I’m still figuring out one or two things, but I’m gonna release a tutorial in the next day or two, which I’ll announce on Twitter To clarify… Seemingly there is a difference between the PC and Mac formats of the device. If we can get a bootloader or something on it, I think it’d be an awesome device and may be easier as it has disk mode available. It seems like the OS is a rehashed version of the previous Nano’s OS. With the bypass I figured out, I hope to enable these pretty soon. Next is the discovery in some of the device’s plists of reference to support of Movies, TV Shows, Apps, Games, vCards, Calender events and so on, with a few other cool things like a passcode lock. Not that amazing, but whats important is the bypass of Nano’s cache comparison, which compares any modded SB file and reverts it if it doesn’t like it, this opens up the possibility of hacking and modding, while not adding bootloaders or any of that fun stuff. The springboard hack is just the removal of a app and creation of a blank space. I’ve successfully done a basic springboard hack, figured out how to bypass the cache comparison and uncovered some interesting stuff as whats to come on the iPod Nano. So I won pink 8gb iPod Nano at some awards I was at recently and hacked it on the flight home.
