Here is a simple guide that I decided to write up. This will get you firmware 2.1 and Apps installed (should work with iPhone). Should be easy to follow if you have some know-how. Enjoy!

On your computer:

1. Download the 2.1 restore file, QuickPWN, cracked MobileInstallation, any iPod/iPhone Apps (.ipa) you desire, and either WinSCP (Windows) or Cyberduck (Mac)
2. Connect your iPod/iPhone and load iTunes
3. Go to Device > Summary
4. Hold Shift, click Restore, select the 2.1 restore file. This will wipe your device.
5. Run QuickPWN, follow instructions, verify Cydia installation

On your iPod:

1. On your iPod/iPhone: Run Cydia, let it update, Select “Featured Packages”, download OpenSSH then BossPrefs. Device should restart.
2. In BossPrefs, make sure OpenSSH is On.
3. Go to Settings > Wifi > Select your network. Note IP Address.

On your computer:

1. With device connected, run WinSCP/Cyberduck
2. Add new connection. Host: IP address, Username: root, Password: alpine, set as SFTP/SSH connection
3. Navigate to the iPhone folder: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework
4. Backup and replace MobileInstallation file with downloaded.
5. Set permission of new MobileInstallation to 775
6. In /private/var/mobile/ : set Applications folder to 777 and have reclusive checked
7. In /private/var/mobile/Applications/ : create Documents folder (777)
8. In root folder, navigate to Applications, and create Documents folder (777) there
9. Close WinSCP/Cyberduck, reboot iPhone, restart iTunes

On your iPod:

1. Go to App Store and download/install an application (free is fine)

On computer:

1. Load up iTunes
2. Drag (or double click) .ipas into iTunes
3. Sync, smile, and give thanks below
