I have iPod touch 3G 32Gb. I think your model is not 3rd generation, because minimum size is 16Gb for 3rd gen. Maybe yours is 2nd or 1st. Make sure which iPod touch you have before everything as the process may be different. Also check your firmware version, as it should be 3.1.2

You DO need Wifi to install Cydia. It is mandatory. Not possible with data cable.

I think for your iPod is not tethered. But the best way to know if just trying. If recovery appears just re-run blackra1n in order to turn it on.

You don't have to restore everything when turning off and on. Only re-running blackra1n it is enough. This is the way it works now for ipod touch 3G 32Gb, like mine.

Hi jazerjay.
No, it is only that after the reboot your iPod is fully functional and you will see a new icon, the blackra1n one:

You have to open this and install the Cydia application, needed for downloading and installing more useful apps, one of them (Appsync) needed for running successfully downloaded games/apps in IPA format. Be sure you follow all steps and whatever happens let me know what and when, so I can find out how to help. I will try to explain again the whole process more detailed:

Make sure you have firmware version 3.1.2 in your iPod. Otherwise update it via iTunes. It won't work if you have version 3.1, for instance.

1.- First of all, end the iTuneshelper.exe process in the Task Manager. So when you plug your iPod via USB, iTunes won't start up. Easier then for the Jailbreak process.

2.- Plug your iPod via USB. Your iPod will start charging the battery but in Windows nothing will happen.

3.- Execute blackra1n.exe in Windows as an administrator.

4.- Click "make it ra1n" button. Your iPod will then enter recovery mode and you will see this picture.

In the meanwhile a popup will appear in windows, telling you that the process will be finished as soon as the iPod is restarted.

5.- In a few seconds (15-20) your iPod will start normally and you will see the "slide to unlock" thing. Everything will be as if, you haven't lost anything, and you will see the new "blackra1n" icon.

6.- The Jailbreak is done. The rest is what I told in my previous post. Installing Cydia. Then Appsync so you can run games, etc etc.

Try it again and if it doesn't work tell me what is failing or happening. :-)
Hope this will help you and whoever has still issues.

Finally I managed to get the JB working in my iPod touch 3G, model MC008PY.
I was using it normally, installing several apps from the Appstore. I then downloaded Blackra1n in Windows Vista. Before plugging the USB cable, I pressed Control+Alt+Supr in order to open the Task Manager. In the tab Processed, I ended the process iTunesHelper.exe. I then plugged the iPod with USB. Then right-clicked blackra1n and "run as Admin" (or something like that, as I use windows in spanish). Confirmed opening the file and clicked "make it ra1n". The image of blackra1n appeared and rebooted in just 15-20 seconds. Clicked OK in the message blackra1n shows you confirming blackra1n is done and the app was there, in the iPod. Opened it, installed Cydia, then added the source http://apt.macosmovil.com and installed the app "AppSync para OS 3.1 (3.1....)" and then shutted down the iPod. Restarted it, but did again the blackra1n thing just to start it up, because it's tethered. And then at last I could install any cracked App and the ones from the appstore worked fine. AT LAST !!!

Please note that I never had to restore anything. iPod was already in version 3.1.2.

Hopefully this will help those who still have problems with this iPod Touch 3G model MCxxxx

Good luck
