iphone 4 just announced.

[goalie204]

I was reading that cydia doesn't work with the newest jailbreak. I'm not updating right now anyway because theres nothing useful to me in 4.2

[Montano]

I'm loving 4.2 :)

It's awesome to be able to print work docs and emails directly from my iphone to my old Brother MFC-440CN printer :D

[tenbaseg]

Aside from proximity sensor problems, I've been happy with 4.x. My sensor problems may actually be design vs. software.

As far as printing, I find it funny how I can't print (yet) to the printer that Apple sold me when I got my iMac. Hopefully airprint will support more printers soon.

[Montano]

I have AirPrint and Bonjour installed on my PC. A few registry "adjustments" and I'm printing flawlessly ;)

[floydpink]

purely speculation, but enough to make me hold off on my upgrade:

A few features of iPhone 5:

Thinner! With shiny glass back piece - 9.3 mm thick.


Face Recognition Security


Face Time (Video Chat) access on 3G AND 4G (available currently but only on 3G)


Custom SMS tones

Custom E-mail alerts with ability to assign different tones to each email address


A new, sleeker body design.

OLED screen.

Scratch proof and shatter proof screen


Wireless sync with iTunes


32G (basic) and 64G of memory. You're sure to never run out.


Extended battery life = 14 hours talk time on 3G and 7 hours on 4G. Standby 600 hours.


Hi Definition audio.

Messaging indicator light.

True GPS built in.

[shilala]

I just got mine a few days ago. I love it. I'm not surprised, I loved my 3GS, too.

[Chingas]

Ok. Time to revive the thread.

Aparently, the Greenpois0n JB Does Not have Staying power over the 4.3 update. So, does anyone know of a JB that works on 4.3?

I've lost all my Cydia apps and Installeous Apps, all enhancements, improvements and personal effects. Whoops!

Thanks.

[goalie204]

i never bothered upgrading my ios firmware cuz there was nothing in 4.2 or 4.3 i cared about, still using 4.1.

but for you a simple google search reveals: http://www.redmondpie.com/jailbreak-4.3-on-windows-iphone-4-3gs-ipad-ipod-touch-using-sn0wbreeze-how-to-guide/

[MurphysLaw]

You can try to downgrade back to 4.2 and then re-jailbreak, or just wait a few days for GP to release the jailbreak for 4.3

[Chingas]

I tried SnowBreeze which acted way different than GreenPoison.

After the JB, everything was gone. All pictures, contacts, apps, data, etc.

Then, because it's tethered, everytime you ReSpring, you need to be hooked up to your computer and run iBooty in order to start up in JB mode, otherwise it's just the normal phone.

I did notice a pay service to JB for $25. Looks like a UK based site. They claim their JB works for all basebands on all firmware versions and iOS versions.

I'm still trying to figure out why the hell I ever moved up to 4.3. I was running 3.x without issue and decided to make the jump without ever looking to see if their was a JB available.

[floydpink]

I had my phone freeze in white screen using Greenpoison and had to do a restore.

I followed the "easy" video step by step on youtube with no success.

[MurphysLaw]

Pete,

Did you upgrade to 4.3 or were you still running 4.2.1 when you tried to JB? The JB for 4.3 hasn't been released yet, so it won't work until they release the JB for 4.3.

[floydpink]

Pete,

Did you upgrade to 4.3 or were you still running 4.2.1 when you tried to JB? The JB for 4.3 hasn't been released yet, so it won't work until they release the JB for 4.3.

I'm running 4.2.

It happens when I do the part where you let your finger off the top button and keep holding the bottom. (the freezing in white part)

The only real reason I wanted to JB was for Cydia, but it's not overly important to me.

[Chingas]

Pete. That procedure is for going into DFU mode. It's about 10 seconds holding power and home buttons.

Then release power and keep holding home for another 30 seconds.

The screen should "flash white" somewhere close to the original 10 second mark then with the home key still pressed and the finger of the power, the phone should restart.



The GreenPois0n I used was way back during the 3.x days. There is no GreenPois0n now for 4.3.



However Pete, you have lots of options for 4.2. I believe RedSn0w and UltraSn0w are both options for you.

[floydpink]

I might put it off until after my NYC trip in May.

I have all my itineraries and routes saved as well as a lot of other stuff I would hate to lose and am concerned after my last attempt.

Then again, when my trip is over in June, hopefully I will be getting the Iphone 5.....:sh

[Chingas]

I hear ya. The SnowBreeze attempt had me build and use a new ipvw or something like that and I lost Everything.

The old JailbreakMe site was awesome. You keep everything.

Then there was Green Poison where I was able o keep everything.

I'm hoping that the next one, maybe unlockGuide let's you keep everything.

[shilala]

I must be getting old. Everything I owned used to be hacked, reflashed, or overclocked. I considered jailbreaking my phone for about five minutes because I wanted to tether my ipad.
After looking into it, I decided I'd rather skewer myself than fight with my phone all day. I just like things to be easy nowadays.

my ip4 works just the same as it did before it was jailbroken, i can just do what i please on it now. Yea i have to respring from time to time, but i did that before i was jailbroken as well.

If you have the scratch to pay your carrier for tethering then it probably is a better option not to JB. I have a limited budget and I'd rather my money go to the finer things in life (read: cigars).

[mithrilG60]

If you have the scratch to pay your carrier for tethering then it probably is a better option not to JB. I have a limited budget and I'd rather my money go to the finer things in life (read: cigars).

Unfortunately you're going to pay them one way or another. AT&T is apparently able to determine who's running a hotspot a la MyWi and is in the process of sending those customers with a polite reminder that you have to pay for a tethering plan. I would imagine failure to comply would constitute a violation of your contract and they could terminate your service without warning.

In one of the very very rare "good guy" moves by the Canadian telecom industry it appears that they haven't tried to lock tethering down and don't force you to have a separate tethering data plan. That will probably change but for now it's still open.

I agree with Scott, I don't really care anymore how open a product is or what restrictions are placed on it. If it works for my purposes I'm happy, if it "just works" all the better. I was jailbroken before 4.3 was pushed down and frankly the only app I miss at all is SBSettings. Now that I can tether without jailbreaking I really don't care about jailbreaks at all anymore.

[goalie204]

well, i have 4.1 jailbroken and have the ultrasn0w carrier unlock. Today i spent 15 bux on a pre-paid sim from At&t, cut it to micro-sim size, popped it in, and it didn't work.

I don't know if i cut it improperly or if my phone isn't "really" unlocked, and i don't know how to tell.

I am currently in america using my canadian phone which is why i was trying this.

[Chingas]

The 4.1 ultrasnow unlock should have worked. I have read the 4.2.1 is more reliable using beta 3.

The 4.3 JB/Unlock should be available untethered by tomorrow at the latest. So I read.

I've also read that UnlockGuide and another place has a paid JB/Unlock for all versions for a one time lifetime membership. Even including iPhone 5 when the time comes. I don't know how reliable this service is and how they can guarantee a JB in a future device.

Anyone know of these?

[MiamiE]

I have a 3GS 4.3 (8F190) and a 3G running an OLD update. I am interested in safely unlocking both. How would I go about this?

[goalie204]

I tried changing the APN also, i tried a lot of things, it didn't work, at least the at&t sim only cost 15 bux, screw it :P

[Chingas]

I have a 3GS 4.3 (8F190) and a 3G running an OLD update. I am interested in safely unlocking both. How would I go about this?

Erick, you're waiting or what I'm waiting for. The 4.3 JB.

They say an untethered JB will be available by tomorrow. You can JB with a tethered version now but thats too cumbersome and impractical for me.

[MiamiE]

Ok so I will wait and keep up with this thread. Is a JB something I can do at home?

[Chingas]

Ok so I will wait and keep up with this thread. Is a JB something I can do at home?

The first JB I did was so easy I did it from my phone at work! Unfortunately, it has not been updated to the latest firmware.

Yes, you can JB at home. Most JB will have you download software to your computer, then plug your phone in and start the software you downloaded. It will add software or flash your firmware while you are connected and Viola! Good to go.

It very simple, very easy and usually works very well.

Go to youtube. Try typing in iPhone jailbreak tutorial. Watch a few. Some vary in different ways but that will give you a good understanding of the basic steps you'll be taking in the future.

[MiamiE]

Thanks Chingas! Is there a certain program that's more reliable than others? Which do you use? I am really scared of the iBrick everyone talks about.

[Chingas]

Thanks Chingas! Is there a certain program that's more reliable than others? Which do you use? I am really scared of the iBrick everyone talks about.

I've had great luck with GreenPoison back when I had 3.x and JailBreakMyIPhone.com prior to that.

RedSnow, UltraSnow, etc all seem to come from a parent exposure in Apples current firmware. When I JB mine and if all is well, I will get the name up here so you can use it for yourself.

I'm really not concerned about bricking my phone altho it is a reality and can happen. For some of the paid JB services they offer a tool to make sure your phone won't Brick beote you apply the JB.

[MiamiE]

I am going to try on my 3G first since it's still on 3.X. Is there anyway to unbrick it should it happen?

[BnBTobacco]

Have my iPhone too.. and I've been enjoying logging on to Skype and Yahoo Messenger.

[MiamiE]

Does anyone know if I can unlock it without inserting a SIM card? Ive tried inserting the card in my current 3GS but it doesnt work with the 3G for some reason.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/MiamiE/09d779eb.jpg

[MiamiE]

I think I can do it without a SIM card, I just dont remember which software is on the phone. Obviously this information is needed to pick the right jailbreak software, correct?

[MiamiE]

Ok loaded the SIM. Software on the 3G is 4.0 (8A293). Should I leave it as is and jailbreak it or should I load the newest update and then wait for the jailbreak to be released?

[MiamiE]

I found a website called www.jailbreakme.com Works with 4.0.1 and under which I am running on my 3G. Any opinions? I also found Green Pois0n.

[MurphysLaw]

jailbreakme.com is awesome if you havent upgraded the OS yet!

[MiamiE]

Brian I am on 4.0 right now, not the 4.0.1 but it says it will still work. Will I be able to unlock through this download?

[MurphysLaw]

You should be able to unlock, its very easy from what I remember

[MiamiE]

Did the download everything looks good, now I just need to figure out which program can unlock it. Most are unlocking 4.3 it seems and not 4.0.1 and earlier firmware.

[Sauer Grapes]

well, i have 4.1 jailbroken and have the ultrasn0w carrier unlock. Today i spent 15 bux on a pre-paid sim from At&t, cut it to micro-sim size, popped it in, and it didn't work.

I don't know if i cut it improperly or if my phone isn't "really" unlocked, and i don't know how to tell.

I am currently in america using my canadian phone which is why i was trying this.

I did this as well and a micro sim in dubai gave me a sim card error. I don't know if it was due to the fact the sim wasn't activated, or that my phone wasn't actually unlocked, but it convinced me not to pay the $50 there for a sim card and risk it.

I've heard that the straight talk prepaid plans at walmart work on AT&T towers and that even without an unlock their sims should work in iphones. At only $45 for unlimited per month, it's actually making me consider breaking my contract with AT&T.

[Chingas]

Erick, those are the two we were speaking of earlier. The jailbreak site and greenpois0n. I've used them both with my older 3G and iPhone 4. Good stuff.

Looks like late last nite Greenpois0n 4.3 was released. This, in theory will hive you a fully Jailbroken and unlocked iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G and iPad/2, All Untethered.

Rumor is that it's been confirmed by over 400 successful attempts.

My computer at home has broken. I'll need to fix that before I move forward. If I decided to roll with a laptop then I may be JBing tonight. I'll post my results for anyone interested.

[MiamiE]

Please do!

[MiamiE]

Well I did the unlock just now using Ultrasn0w. I have a question though, is it ok if I left my ATT sim card in the phone while I was doing this or should I have removed it?

[Chingas]

Ok. So it's official and tested. Monday morning the Dev Team released an updated version of RedSn0w and Pwnage Tools.

The untethered JB works on all 4.3.1 iDevices EXCEPT the iPad2.

I committed early Monday morning. Had a lot of random issues but all is well now. The JB is solid.

You can't find a guide and all the necessary download links on The Dev Teams blog.

Hope this helps Brothers.

[goalie204]

i updated to 4.3 while preserving my old baseband in hopes that one day there will be an unlock for the one i have. Jailbroke it, and good to go. Restored everything with pkgbackup, restore, and sync, and its exactly as it was before, just with 4.3.1 :)

However, you gents are incorrect, if you updated to 4.3.1 using itunes, and apples stock firmware, and then jailbroke, your phone is jailbroken, but it is not unlocked. The only supported baseband for iphone 4 for a carrier unlock is 1.5.9, and if you updated from apples site, you don't have that anymore. So yes you are jailbroken, but no, you are not carrier unlocked. (unless you bought an unlocked iphone directly from apple in like hong kong, canada, or europe or something)

you can read ultrasn0w's info "only supports iphone 4 baseband 1.5.9" - unless you are using an older iphone with one of the other bbs listed

[goalie204]

by the way, get the tweak "fakeclockup" from the repo cydia.pushfix.info

you'll thank me :) - google it if you wanna see the demo

[MurphysLaw]

I'll be upgrading to 4.3.1 with redsn0w tonight, instructions look a little different from greenpois0n, but very do-able

[goalie204]

it's easy, if you need any help post here and if im on we can get in chat or something :)

[MurphysLaw]

Thanks Myles!

[goalie204]

np Brian, i subscribed to the thread so if you post i'll get an email :)

[Blueface]

Well, I am officially on my 4th iPhone 4.
First one was not Apple's fault as I took it for a saltwater swim.

Number two had a bad mic for the video. They immediately replaced it. No questions asked.

Number three just went south on me. Home key was not responsive at times for the past few days.

Apple haters will laugh and ridicule this product.
I say it shows the great support that with any issues, nearly a year after its release and purchase, I keep getting new phones after nothing more than a call, a restore and a trip to the local Apple store, which is something that to me is like a kid in a candy store.

My view is chit happens. When it does, is there someone there to help you clean it up. Apple is there for me for sure. Man I want to grow up to be like Steve.:D

On with the lovers.
On with the haters.

[Chingas]

Myles, you are correct about the unlock, tho I never mentioned it, I suppose I should have. I was just trying to get the JB out to the peeps that were waiting for untethered on 4.3 or 4.3.1.

I'll take a look at fakelockup. Never heard of that one before. :tu

[Chingas]

Ok. Got it. Things are much faster. Thank you!:tu

[goalie204]

it's all good :) and its fake clock up (one word) as in fake overclocking, but it really works.

[Chingas]

Yeah. I typed it wrong!:r

Found it tho. Pretty sweet. What else you got up your sleeve these days?

[goalie204]

hmm...oh. get Barrel! It's epic. I added a repo tho cuz i aint paying for it. Heres a video preview of it incase you don't like it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYfzgL-YYDw

[Chingas]

Got barrel already. Love it.

Got gravity. That was cool.

Got the infinite dock thing. That's cool.

Got the swipe anywhere to unlock. Awesome.

It's hard to remember actually.

[goalie204]

my infinidock doesn't work in 4.3. I had to get 5 icon dock in the mean time. You got 4.3?

[Chingas]

my infinidock doesn't work in 4.3. I had to get 5 icon dock in the mean time. You got 4.3?

Got something way better. I think its called scrolling dock. I have 8 icons on there. 4 and a scroll to 4 more. Scroll left and my iPod controls and one more scroll for volume. Intense!

[MurphysLaw]

Downloading the jailbreak files now, using the instructions here: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=14572

[goalie204]

never used pwnagetool, only redsn0w this go around

[MurphysLaw]

I have both, just waiting on the .ipsw file to download now, I'll try redsn0w first, looks a little easier

[goalie204]

that's exactly what infini dock does, except i can have as many on one screen as i want, + scrolling, etc

[Chingas]

that's exactly what infini dock does, except i can have as many on one screen as i want, + scrolling, etc

Nice. So this is a good temp solution until they reCreate for 4.3.1!:tu

I'm trying to remember what WOWed me before but keep drawing blanks.

[BnBTobacco]

Will be updating mine too..

[goalie204]

infinidock is working again in 4.3.1 as of 4-5 days ago :)

[Chingas]

infinidock is working again in 4.3.1 as of 4-5 days ago :)

Thanks Myles. I'll be looking into that later on today!:banger

[MiamiE]

Guys I need some free WiFi on my iPhone. I stupidly upgraded to 4.3.2. I am assuming nothing is out yet for a jailbreak.

How would I go about creating my own hotspot anyways? I have a 3GS iPhone. Also this would be to connect a iPad 1.

Did you try to restore to your backed up version prior to update?

[MiamiE]

Not sure Carlos but apparently there is a 4.3.2 redsn0w jailbreak out already. I just can't figure out how to get the free WiFi

[aich75013]

I'm not sure if there is a free version, but you can check out MyWi from the Cydia store. It's $20.

Does the iPad 1 not support tethering over Bluetooth like the iPad2? If so then you aren't stuck waiting on a jailbreak to get MiWi back.

1. Turn on Bluetooth on both your iPad and iPhone.
2. Turn on Personal Hotspot on the iPhone.
3. iPhone should appear in the list of unpaired devices on iPad, pair to the iPhone.

Once paired a blue bar will appear at the top of the iPhone's screen to indicate you're sharing the connection. You can only share the connection if the iPhone is using 3G data, if it's connected to a wifi hotspot of it's own no data will transfer (which makes sense since you would just connect the iPad to wifi in that case). Obviously there's also a hit on battery life, especially on the iPhone, tethering via Bluetooth but it actually works very well.

[MiamiE]

Very cool Geoff, but why hasn't ATT caught onto this already. Seems like an easy way to bypass paying for the service

[aich75013]

If I'm not mistaken, AT&T charges you $20/month extra to go that route.
You forfeit the unlimited data option (if you have it) as well I believe.

[MiamiE]

Whoa! No thanks on that one. So basically there is no "free" personal hotspot option?

[mithrilG60]

If I'm not mistaken, AT&T charges you $20/month extra to go that route.
You forfeit the unlimited data option (if you have it) as well I believe.

Right, I'd forgot that AT&T is charging to activate the personal hotspot option. None of our providers up here are doing that so far. It should be noted that, from what I've read, AT&T is able to tell if you're tethering via jailbreak as well and are sending "friendly" letters advising their tethering clients of their various data options.

[goalie204]

rogers has unlimited data for plans with over 1gb of data, our local company MTS is selling plans with 250gb of tethering - even with their unlimited data plan. It doesn't matter for some people who will never use tethering tho

[floydpink]

I decided to NOT get caught up in alh the hype and anticipation for the Iphone5 and upgraded to the 4 yesterday.

Coming from the original 3G, the leap is monumental, so I doubt I will get too much upgrade fever when the new one is released.

I am blown away by how much better everything runs on this than my 3G, which I got $100 bucks for yesterday.
