For many, the best features of modern iPods are the ones that Apple doesn't want you to own. To jailbreak an iPod or to repair a problem caused by previous tinkering, force the device into device firmware update (DFU) mode. Apple makes difficult to activate DFU mode. Putting an iPod into DFU is the most challenging step to jailbreak an iPod or iPhone. You may have to attempt the procedure several times before you are successful. After the device is in DFU mode, you'll be one step closer to enjoying the benefits of a jailbroken iPod.
