Common Questions
Can jailbreaking brick your iPod?
When someone develops something for an Apple product, that is not sanctioned by Apple, you run the risk of it not working as it should, conflicting with the device itself, or just all-around bricking that iPod. The chances of bricking an iPod are extremely slim but nonetheless, there is still a risk.
Most version of the iPod can be jailbreaked. Try avoiding the latest apple software update to your product. Upgrading the iPod to the latest firmware, may make your unjailbreakable for a short period of time, until it is hacked.
As a precaution it is always wise to backup all data on your iPod with iTunes without accepting any firmware updates from Apple.
