Download required softwares before start jailbreaking:
- Apple iTunes 8.2
- Redsn0w 0.8 for Windows | Mac | Linux

- iPhone 2G OS 3.0 ipsw

Only 5 steps to jailbreak your lovely toy. Everybody can do, follow instructions closely one by one.
- Install iTunes 8.2. Connect iPhone / iPod to computer.
- Upgrade firmware OS 3.0 (hold shift and click the update button to choose the downloaded ipsw file) Took few minutes to backup and restore OS 3.0 firmware.
- Close iTunes and Start Redsn0w. Browse the OS 3.0 .ipsw firmware file and click on ‘Next’ to proceed.

The application “Civ Rev” was not installed on the ipod “nec’s ipod” because an unknown error occurred(0xE8008001)
my ipod firmware ver. is 3.0

@neo: you’ll need to install miPatch before can install apps manually.(http://ahtim.com/crack-ipod-touch-games-and-apps/)
every time I try it I can’t get past step 2. On iTunes it keeps saying. Error file not compatible. Its really pissing me off.
I just bricked my ipod touch 2g with these instructions….. it wont open. it just died …. What did you do????
The 2G 3.0 firmware says error also
@ahtim:
i got the error 0xE8008001 as well. you said to install mipatch, but i get the following error in cydia:
the requested modifications cannot be applied due to required dependencies or conflicts that cannot be automatically found or fixed.
my ipod was jailbroken for a long time and i had not problems installing apps from appulo.us. then the other day it just stopped working.
1. Jailbreak with redsn0w (if you haven’t already) and make sure to select Cydia to install
2. Cydia does need Wi-Fi to download things so connect your device to Wi-Fi, or use the 3g/EDGE network for iPhones
3. Add the Cydia source http://cydia.hackulo.us/
4. If you are on 3.0 or 3.0.1 (3.0.1 is an iPhone only upgrade to fix the SMS vulnerability) install AppSync for OS 3.0, if you are on 2.2.1 then pick the patch for 2.2.1
5. Reboot your iPhone/iPod Touch
6. Cracked apps will now work properly
7. This should fix some people’s problems
Idiots guide.
the way to get AppSync is to go to Cydia, and search for appsync to see if it’s available, if there is no results then you need to go to Cydia, tap Manage>Sources>Edit>Add, then type: http://cydia.hackulo.us, then tap Add Source>Done. Back in Sources, tap Hackulo.us & install AppSync for OS 3.x & Reboot the iPhone by holding the power button at the top & sliding over the shut down slider, then press the top button again to turn it back on (this takes several minutes) – Just for reference, Cydia only has AppSync for firmwares 3.0 & 3.1, not 1.x or 2.x, & no need to do the SSH & WinSCP stuff with MobileInstaller.framework if you install AppSync. *Another good app from Cydia is Installous, with this you can search for the cracked app and install it directly from your iPhone without using your computer
by the way, the steps i gave was to fix the problem of not being able to install cracked games.
Now u can enjoy them (BROKE ASS N>>>)
What about the the firmware 3.1.2? How do we install games manually?
