Comprehensive iPhone Apps/Jailbreak Thread

oh yeah that's the method described lol

Avoid the SIM cards like a plague. As said, it's very illegal.

BTW, thinking back on what you posted, you talked about wanting an unlock for international travel, but you do realize that you still are on AT&T network, right? Unlock doesn't mean you just get to use somebody else's network for free. Without actually having service from them, you still will get charged your international roaming from AT&T.

[GRT]

Of course. I'll be needing a local number there, I just figured I'd like to keep using my own phone.

Hey im back lol.

Anyway latest firmware for apple tv is 4.2.2. And is unthetered. But xbmc have some problem with it it crash always.

I have a friendnwho is currently on 4.2.1 and wanna jailbreak.

Does anybody know about the 4.2.1 jailbreak for touches/iphones?

I have a 2nd Gen (I think? It's the 16 GB, no camera) Ipod touch and just within the last week, I've been given the option to get the upgrade so I tried it. I've jailbroken via greenp0ison and so far it seems really unstable, but I've read nothing about people have problems with it. Even with a clean install of the iOS, I've not been able to get Cydia loading and it seems like all my apps are taking forever to load.

Is my only solution just to downgrade? It seems like all the developers have stopped working with the last 3.x iOS which makes it impossible to get newer apps, and the 2nd gen doesn't get as many updates as the 4th gen, since it doesn't have retina display.

[Nitsuki]

I highly suggest jailbreaking 4.2.1 w/ greenp0ison, so far it's the most stable 4.2.1 jailbreak i've used.

[Overburn]

Looking at the websites, I'm pretty sure greenpoison is what I used.

Starting to feel like I just have a bad jailbreak since I had a few issues doing jailbreaking after not doing them for a few months. I had a few issues when I first jailbroke it, so I had to do a factory restore at least twice to fix issues. I guess I'll try to do it from scratch and not mess up this time.

Restore to 4.2.1 stock firmware via the DFU method, and try to jailbreak again.

[Overburn]

I'm starting to think that one of the failed jailbreaks did some sort of permanent damage that is effecting the ability for new jailbreaks to work

Just tried to reset my ipod and now it won't turn on again after DFU reseting the ipod and starting a jailbreak. Might just end up gonig back to 3.x and seeing if that's stable when it turns on again.

So im going to pick up an iphone 4 today, unless then iphone 5 is announced for next month. Anything I need to know about jailbreaking aside what Tyche posted on the previous page? And in regards to the jailbreak, do I DL all of those 3 things or just the middle one?

backup to itunes, including contacts and everything you want to keep.

Check firmware package

follow directions.

Can't really fuck it up, or at least I've never known anyone who has bricked an iphone.

Hold off on Jailbreaking your new phone until after the WWDC keynote this afternoon. It's widely known that iOS 5 is being shown for the first time along with when it's coming. It hopefully will have enough changes that some of the reasons people jailbreak will be addressed.

[DAKPluto]

Unless iOS 5 is announcing free tethering (yes, I'm laughing) they will never stop jailbreaking them

[Bethany]

That is so very true~

[Katlan]

So I'm going to Jailbreak my phone w/ snowbreeze, but is there any sort of FaQ on what to do? I don't see anything on the website? Any tips? D:

[DAKPluto]

any specific reason using snowbreeze? Only need to use that if you need to create a custom ISPW to preserve baseband for unlocking. Otherwise I'd just recommend using redsn0w. Works well and talks you through the process.

[Katlan]

snowbreeze was suggested earlier in the thread, I'll go look up redsnow. Thanks!

[Ratatapa]

Rumors that will surely be false but who knows

I'm still running on a jailbroken 4.0.1 - seems there have been a few firmware updates, should I bother upgrading?

looks like redsn0w if I do upgrade?

[Seanr]

So I did a little more research and it turns out that, since iPhone 4 can't be unlocked, there are instead unlocked SIM cards specifically designed for locked iPhone 4s including ones by AT&T. Anyone know how safe it is to use those? Or have any experience with them?

I thought I just did that the other day..

Or was it something else...

[Ratatapa]

Well ipad2 jb is not released yet

Soon I guess
