You are lucky it still works…
Jail breaking is HACKING the boot code so it automatically voids any warranty and often causes problems such as this if you get it working at all. this is something you will have to put up with or try restoring it to proper apple ROM and try again with another different jailbreak.
Basically I’d never do it I value it too much to take a 50:50 chance of killing the iPod.
There are rumours about iPod Touch Firmware 3 being released in 2009 June or July
As for what it will have that’s only speculation but expect it to have extra features be more stable and less likely to be jailbroken..
on jailbreaking WHY?
Cydia,QuikPwn (and other jailbreaks) have cause more problems for people than its worth.. (I never jailbreak but buy apps like Air sharing to enable limited disk use) as the only other extra is unapproved apps and background wallpapers (which are distracting).
NEVER JAILBREAK! It causes so many problems and yet adds nearly nothing! here is only 25% chance of success with 50% chance of killing it. and any attempt voids any warranty you have! Once you have jailbroken an ipod you are then stuck with jailbreak apps as you can no longer add official Apps (or protected music) to the ipod as itunes will NOT recognise it as an official ipod.
the 2.2 software from apple is stable and works well and lets you add hundreds of apps (many free) from the itunes App Store, many with features available in jailbroken items.
Jail breaking became redundant when the 2.0 software was released as it add almost nothing to the ipods abilities (other than the ability to browse its file structure which also makes it less secure).
Jail breaking also voids the warranty and does cause many issues form files vanishing, memory leaks and loss, rebooting and even failing to boot.
Jailbroken ipods cause so many problems (just search on here for them). It alters the boot code so its not really an ipod at all.
Best option is to remove the jailbreak by restoring the ipod on your computer but NOT connected to internet and make sure you have a full power 500MA USB2 port as low power laptop ports can cause the restore to fail and kill the ipod. So… with itunes running reset your ipod (menu and centre key held until screen goes blank with dark apple logo). then as soon as the screen lights up connect it to computer. (if touch its the home and power key until screen goes black /apple).
