Jailbreak

No public jailbreak is known for iOS 3.1.1 on iPod touch 3.

How to install iOS 3.1.1 with this IPSW

  1. Back up your iPod touch 3 to iCloud or your computer — restoring erases the device.

  4. Hold Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) and click Restore. Choose iPod3,1_3.1.1_7C146_Restore.ipsw.
  5. Wait — the device restarts several times. Don’t disconnect it until you see the Hello screen.
