How To Install Cydia On Your iPod Touch

We’ve talked about Cydia before, during our tutorial on how to download torrents using your iPod Touch. The most frequent question we got after that was: “How do we get Cydia on our phones?” Today, we answer it.

First a quick note: You can have both Cydia and the original Installer on your iPod Touch. However, we recommend using Cydia to install new programs from the moment you install it to avoid overwriting the BSD Subsystem files. In case you “have” to use the original Installer, make sure to use the Fake BSD Subsystem in the Installer’s System folder.

Here are the steps to installing Cydia apps to iPhone or iPod Touch:

cydia.jpg1. Make sure your iPod Touch has been jailbroken.

2. Launch the Installer and click on the Sources icon (it should be near the bottom)

3. Click on Edit -> Add. Then, type in apptapp.saurik.com, which should refresh the Source screen

4.You will see Saurik’s source at the bottom. Click on the Install icon, go to the Systems folder and choose the Cydia Installer

5. The app will take a bit of time to download so you may as well watch some TV or surf a bit while it installs. Once the download is done, you just have to agree to the terms to begin the installation.

6. The installation will prompt you for updates that need to be made, with a couple of options. Choose “Upgrade Essentials” and let it update.

7. Important: You will see a popup early on telling you to restart Cydia. However, don’t restart yet until the progress bar at the bottom is done/

8. Voila! You’ve installed the best installer tool on your iPod Touch!

    Use Quickpwn. It’s the only one that worked for me with a 1G iPod Touch 2.2.1. Just do a google search for “quickpwn windows/mac 2.2.1″ It worked great. Easy to understand, and comes with Cydia.

    Hey Milz, go to http://www.blackra1n.com.
    download the windows or mac program. When it downloads, plug up your ipod And hit “Make it rain” on the program. It’ll reboot your ipod, do some stuff, then…Voila.

  30. josh says:

  31. pimp says:

  32. Lol man says:

    Hey how do i get installer?

  33. Malet says:

    hey there, if i install the jailbreak for ipod touch can i connect with the internet or not? :( !!

  34. Tek Savvy says:

    To all above,
    You can install cydia ,rock and icy after jailbreaking your ipod touch with blackra1n RC3 (for OS 3.1.2).As soon as your iPOD restarts after “making it ra1n”(jailbreaking), you will find an app by the name of blackra1n.Now, you need an active WiFi connection to install cydia etc..After you have installed cydia, you need to install installous from cydia itself.And now you have the whole APP world free! ;)

    IF YOU ARE STILL NOT SURE ON HOW TO JAILBREAK (USING BLACKRA1N)
    Refer to this video:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaowYBgw7gc

    AND IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ON HOW TO INSTALL CYDIA AND OTHERS AFTER JAILBREAK
    Refer to this video:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKD-5kdp9_k

  35. Tek Savvy says:

    @ Malet:

    There is no risk at all to jailbreak your iPod touch (specifically with blackra1n).All functions remain as usual after you jailbreak.Jailbreaking only changes the settings of your device, it does not interfere in the core firmware.
    So, yes, not only can you connect to the internet but also use iTunes and iTunes store the normal way.
