(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); All right guys, so I have seen couple tutorials around; but here is a really nice one I have wrote it for you guys:

When iDevice is mention, it = iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 1G for this tutorial.

Warning:
- Do NOT follow this tutorial if your iDevice has been jailbroken using Spirit!
- I do not take no fault if you mess up any thing.
- You loose every thing store in your PS3. So make sure to BACK-UP your PS3 first!

What you will need:
Jailbroken iDevice
Make sure it is 3.0 to 4.1!

Open SSH
1- Press to launch Cydia from your Springboard
2- Choose the Sections tab in Cydia (from the lower menu)
3- Navigate to the one saying Networking in the categories.
4- Find OpenSSH (it will be in the letter O)
5- Click the Install button on the top right of the screen.
6- Click Confirm button at the top right of the screen.
7- Back-Out into Home Screen
8- Click OpenSSH
9- Click Enable

iBoot
- Install Vmware Player and create a virtual machine with the Ubuntu 10.04
Desktop you downloaded. Or if you have Ubuntu installed on a computer, that also works.
- Get OpenSSH installed on your ipod.
- Start up VMware with Ubuntu
- Download openiboot from the link above and put it on the desktop of Ubuntu
- Open the rar file and extract the files. Drag the openiboot folder to your home folder in Ubuntu
- In the home folder open openiboot folder and find "loadibec" and "oibc" and right click. Go to permissions and set each of them to read write on all options and also check the box that allows them to be executed
- Open terminal from applications - accessories
- In the terminal type "cd ~/openiboot" without the quotes. press enter
- Now type "sudo su" press enter. Enter your password that you setup while setting up VM
- Next put your ipod in recovery mode. - Step 1. Turn off your iPhone. - Step 2. Hold down the power and home button. - Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the home button down. - Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that its in restore mode.
- In terminal type "./loadibec openiboot.img3" you should see openiboot show up on your ipod's screen. If not you need to make sure you set the permissions for the files in the openiboot folder correctly in the step earlier. Also, you need to make sure you are on 3.1.2 JB with blackra1n
- On iPod touch press the power button once and you will see console highlighted on ipod screen.
- Now in terminal on Ubuntu go ahead and type "./oibc" but do not press enter yet
- On ipod press home button. You will see it boot into a terminal and display some text. As soon as you see that press enter on the keyboard on Ubuntu. You should then see the same text in the terminal window as you see on ipod. - If you do not see the text and just see some dots at the bottom of the terminal that means your timing was off.
- Press and hold home and power on the ipod until it restarts. Put it in recoevery mode and start over
- Once the commands quit scrolling by in the terminal you should see welcome to openiboot at the bottom. At this time type "install" in the terminal and press enter
- It will start installing openiboot on the ipod. This will take a few minutes. It will say finished when it is done
- Once it is finished disconnect your ipod from the computer and you can close Ubuntu, you are done with it for good.
- Press and hold power and home on the ipod. You will end up back at the openiboot screen.
- Just presss the home button as iphone os will already be selected and this will start your ipod like normal.

- Make sure you are in \system\private\var
- click and drag the "android.img.gz" and "zimage" files over to the win scp window. Make sure you do not drag it into any of the folders in var, just in var. You may need to streach the winscp window to expose some blank space to drag the files to.
- Now right click on each of the files and set the permissions to 777 and click ok
