    Hey guys!

    So yeah.. I’m running blackra1n aws, the iPods screen is just black, but it’s on, if you know what I mean. In blackra1n it says “done, wait for reboot” I’ve waited for like 10 minutes now, nothing has happened. And if I turn off the iPod, and then start it again, it’s just as it was before, so.. this doesn’t really work.
