These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPod touch 4G on the 5.0b6 firmware using RedSn0w for Mac. Since iOS 5.0 has not yet been released these are instructions for developers only. This procedure will not hacktivate so you must have your UDID registered with a developer, and as of now the jailbreak is tethered.
Step One
Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage
Download RedSn0w 0.9.8b6 from here and place it in the Pwnage folder. Likewise, download the latest 5.0 firmware from the iOS Dev Center and place it in the same folder.
5.0b6 (4G): iPod4,1_5.0_9A5302b_Restore.ipsw
Extract the RedSn0w zip file by double clicking it.
Step Two
Connect your iPod to the computer and launch iTunes.
Select your iPod from the list of devices on the left. Now hold down Option and click the Restore button. Restore is preferred as it won't create any wasted space on your iPod.
Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and select the 5.0 firmware ipsw. Click the Choose button to continue.
Once the restore has successfully completed make sure to power off your device before continuing.
Step Three
Once iTunes has finished updating your iPod to the desired firmware open the Pwnage folder on your desktop and launch the redsn0w application from the redsn0w folder we extracted earlier.
Step Four
Once RedSn0w opens click the Browse button
Step Five
Select the 5.0 firmware ipsw we placed in the Pwnage folder on our desktop then click Open.
Step Six
Once the firmware has been verified click the Next button to continue.
Step Seven
RedSn0w will now prepare the jailbreak data
Step Eight
From this window you can select the jailbreak options you would like.
Make sure Cydia is selected and click the Next button to continue.
Step Nine
Please plug your iPod into the computer and make sure its OFF then click the Next button
Step Ten
RedSn0w will now guide you through the steps to get into DFU mode.
Hold down both the Home button and the Power button for 10 seconds.
Release the Power button and continue holding the Home button until RedSn0w detects the device.
Step Eleven
Your iPod will now reboot
Step Twelve
RedSn0w will then begin uploading the new RAM Disk and Kernel.
Step Thirteen
Once this is complete you will be notified that RedSn0w is done. Click the Finish button. When your iPod finishes rebooting (5 minutes or so) it will be jailbroken with Cydia on the SpringBoard.
BOOT TETHERED:
Since this is a tethered jailbreak you must use Redsn0w to help you boot back into your jailbroken device if its powered off for any reason. Simply connect your iPod to the computer, launch RedSn0w, select Just boot tethered right now from the options window and click Next to have RedSn0w boot your device.
