我们还必须进入并重新添加应用程序和我们的音乐。 无论如何，我们没有安装大量的音乐和应用程序，因此这没什么大不了的。 但是，如果您有大量数据，请记住结果可能会有所不同。

Conclusion

结论

This technique is by far the easiest way to jailbreak your iPod Touch or iPhone running iOS 4.0. Other than the first few attempts at installing it, after we reset the iPod Touch it installed perfectly. Remember, you’ll only want to do this if you’re not worried about voiding your warranty with Apple, and want the ability to use apps, themes, and other tweaks not approved by Apple. Once you’ve done a jailbreak you’ll probably want to leave it how it is and not reverse it, especially if you have a lot of data on the device.

到目前为止，此技术是越狱运行iOS 4.0的iPod Touch或iPhone的最简单方法。 除了最初尝试进行几次安装以外，我们将iPod Touch重置后，安装已完美。 请记住，只有当您不担心与Apple一起放弃保修，并希望能够使用Apple认可的应用，主题和其他调整功能时，才需要这样做。 越狱后，您可能想要保留原样而不回退，尤其是在设备上有大量数据的情况下。
