Oh ya I forgot to mention that I reccomend installing both CYDIA and ROCK rock is great as a substitute for cydia if the cobstant updating and extreme slowness is pissing u off I personally love rock it hasent failed me once. Plus unlike cydia rock gives u the option of respringjng now or wen ur done with rock ( ur not forced to respring after some downloads)(also rock doesn’t load all the time thus making it a hell of a lot faster than cydia) btw it’s only ICY that has problems the others work great….well I hoped I could help u again lol

Josh calm down it’s nothing to worry about. If u go to the settings and go to about look at the model if the first two letters are MC than there is nothing u can do about it. Your jailbreak is wat is known as a tethered jailbreak. This means that wen ever ur iPod is turned off you have to plug it into the computer and rejailbreak. DO NOT RESTORE YOUR IPOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes it is a pain but after about a week u will get used to it. At the moment there are no actual untethered jailbreaks for the iPod touch 3g. Just be patient and i’m sure some genius will come out with one. Well I hope I helped u Josh and any one else that is haveing this problem.

Hi, I didn’t download the rock like u said, so i downloaded cydia only, after that i download winterboard and then it says u have to tap on reboot device. So i reboot, and then when i turn back on it says to connect to itunes and it erased (restored) my data!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant power it off completely without it going into recovery. (FYI to power off, i hold power down, then slide off) WTF IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????????????????????????????

Ok, KICK THIS FOOTBALL!!!!! My winterboard themes just disappeared!!! WTF. So I used cydelete to remove it after many reboots and resprings. NADA!!! Cydia was also acting very strange. I kept on getting errors, it would load or install anything. SO after picking my phone up from across the room, i restored it to my default settings with Itunes. I didnt back up NOTHING!! I then re-jailbroke using blackra1n and only installed cydia. SAME ERRORS, NO WINTERBOARD and I cant install anything without getting “sub-process bzip returned an error code (2) then it lists websites one of them being http://apt.saurik.com – I may be wrong but arent they the ones that made cydia? This is my last stop b4 i go back to my regular phone.

that did the job. it worked on my Iphone 3gs 3.1.2 I had icy, rock and cydia all on the phone. I restored my phone and used Blackra1n to jail break the phone. installing only cydia, fixed the problem. thank so much!!!!!
