Yeah that was for Mac, finally for windows now!

[SlickA70]

Sorry yeah I should have posted that.

[taemo]

is there any easy way to backup all your apps & cydia apps from an older version, jb it then load everything back?
I'm still on 4.0.1 cause I don't want to re-do everything :rofl:

[eglove]

yea, cydia has an option for that it's on the main page when you open it up

Make sure you save your SHSH blobs.

Cydia should prompt you on the main page by saying "Make my life easier".

[R!zz0]

Fuck yeah thank you :thumbsup:

[stealth]

NVM.

[R!zz0]

Why do you have to do all that? I just jailbroke mine and thats it. I never backed anything up :dunno:
Was i supposed too?

[stealth]

For whatever reason it does not work for me. I try following the steps of pressing the sleep and home button but it just doesn't work...

[SlickA70]

Make sure phone is off and iTunes is closed.

Try another computer.

Double check your on 4.2.1?

same here, so when's 4.3 out? :D

[shakalaka]

I am on 4.1 and jailbroken. So I can update my phone to the latest firmware that iTunes has and jailbreak it again, without that tethered way that was out a while ago? I think in that way every time your phone battery died you had to re-connect it to the computer to get the phone going again. I didn't want the hassle so I never upgraded. So, does this change that?

I use a Mac btw. Also, how can I save all my games/apps/sms that are on my phone, so that I don't lose them after updating and re-jailbreaking?

[SlickA70]

Exactly, this is untethered (not plugged) jailbreak.

You need to back up your phone, update, restore and then proceed to jailbreak.

[shakalaka]

Ok, so I should be following the step like that?

Back up my phone, update it in iTunes and then restore it before following the jailbreaking steps?

Where can I find the step by step instructions for Mac?

Thanks

[SlickA70]

Yeah in that order.

For Mac:

http://www.iphone4jailbreak.org/greenpoison-jailbreak-4-2-1-untethered.html

GL bruh.

[shakalaka]

Thanks will give it a go now.

Although I reckon, I am gonna have to install winterboard, installous and all those things again right? Rest of the stuff I can just back up from iTunes, but not the Cydia stuff.

[SlickA70]

You got it.

Winterboard - search in Cydia
Sbsettings - search in Cydia

In Cydia go: manage, sources, edit, add

Http://Cydia.hackulo.us - Installous/appsync 4.0 (needed)

Http://sinfuliphonerepo.com - Paid apps for free

[shakalaka]

Yeap, those are all the sources that I currently got.

Thanks a lot man, don't have to search them again. Just updating the firmware now, will turn it off and start jailbreaking once that's done.

[SlickA70]

No problem man,

Best of luck.

Let me know how it worked out for you!

[shakalaka]

Ok, so that all worked out great.

I remember I used to have this source in Cydia that gave me all the or atleast most of the paid cydia themes for free. Any idea what that source is at all?

[SlickA70]

Good to hear.

No idea.

[sabad66]

Just did mine yesterday.. Best part about this new firmware is the free findmyiphone feature. Details on how to set it up here:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/find-my-iphone-setup/

[stealth]

I can't get it to go into DRU mode for whatever reason, and the same goes for quite a few people online.

I tried using a different computer, and phone and it still didn't work...

[eglove]

is the phone off and itunes not running?

[stealth]

Yea thats right.

But once you plug the phone in it turns on. I tried both ways, which way is correct?

[eglove]

as soon as you plug it in, you gotta be quick and hold the home and off switch

[SlickA70]

Plug in iPhone

Wait for iTunes, then close it

Open greenpois0n

Turn off phone in normal fashion (slide to shut off)

Click begin jailbreak on greenposi0n

Follow instructions exactly

Should prompt you to install jailbreak, do so

Wait till it says quit and let your phone boot up

Hit quit and unplug phone

Install Cydia via loader

[stealth]

That worked a lot better, but it says jailbreak failed.

repo.insanelyi.com/

theres a new theme app.
add www.themeitapp.com/repo/ to cydia and install the themeit app

sinfuliphonerepo.com/ is a also a very popular source for cracked cydia apps

cydia.hackulo.us/ same as sinfuliphone.


ENJOY!

I finally got it to work. I was trying to JB while using tethered internet from my iPhone. GP requires you to be connected to the internet at all times.

As for why it wouldn't go into DFU. I have no reason, maybe I wasn't pressing the home button hard enough as I have the factory plastic on it.

Thx for the help SlickA70.

NP bruh, just passing on the almighty word of haxz0r.

[tha_bandit]

just updated to 4.2.1 last night, pretty straightforward.
went from 4.0.1, used tiny umbrella,restored to 4.2.1 through iTunes, preserved 1.59.00 baseband in the process for easy unlock. restored from backup, nice!

[euro_racer]

anyone know the easiest way to download the video ringtones?

[dino_martini]

New to the whole iPhone thing. Is it easy to jailbreak? I would like to jailbreak but I'm afraid I will end up with an expensive brick.

rare chance of bricking, can always restore to factory firmware through DFU mode (which is the hardest part of the jailbreak lol, holding down the buttons and getting the timing right). Download GreenPoision, very simple, has countdowns for the button holding process, so its VERY easy.

[SScott]

So My girlfriends phone was on 2.1 Jailbroken and Unlocked, I backed it up and then restored, and then upgraded to 4.2.1, and now it wont restore her pictures, contacts etc. Is there anything I can do?

It keeps freezing on the apple logo screen after I try to sync the backup...

I've tried it 3 different times

[beyond_ban]

I bought apple care for my phone when i originally purchased... will jail breaking it have any negative affects on the warranty?

[beyond_ban]

I just jailbroke my iphone for the first time.... now i have no idea what to do or how to use it hahaha... help!

Thanks, got it. There is so much shit you can do... dam i dont know how to use 90% of it.

On a side note, i had a friend who had jailbroken his old 3gs and he downloaded something that enabled him to change the color of the text bubbles in his sms. Any idea?

[SlickA70]

Search "SMS theme" or something similar in Cydia, download and enable it in winterboard.

Keep in mind, some themes don't work with certain phones (iPhone 3G/3GS themes are standard def while iPhone 4 is high def).

[beyond_ban]

Thanks again..

[anarchy]

Jailbroke on 4.2.1 last week - iBooks has configuration errors since and apparently I'm not the only one. Books I actually purchased don't open anymore - pretty annoying.

[beyond_ban]

One more problem.. The panel of my currently running programs that opens when i double click the home button is always blank, regardless of which programs are running. ANy idea how to get the active apps to show up again?

[Jeremiah]

im in dfu mode and greenpois0n isn't recognizing the iphone wtf

[Redlyne_mr2]

Ive got the 02.04.10 baseband, apparently there is no unlock available. Any suggestions?

[sabad66]

I noticed my battery life is worse compared with 4.0.1... Anyone else?

yep same here, went from 4.0.1 to 4.2.1 also...but i did install intelliscreen and it pulls in weather data every 2 hours, but i wouldnt doubt the new firmware has something to do with it...

[euro_racer]

damn. just updated to 4.3 and my jailbreak programs are gone...is there a program for the 4.3 software?

[stealth131]

[tha_bandit]

for 4.3, sn0wbreeze (beta status) for windows, tethered only atm

[R!zz0]

I think the 4.3 should be out by the next weekend (Jailbreak)

Thinking if i should update to 4.3 or just leave the 4.2.1 :dunno:

[stealth131]

Originally posted by tha_bandit

[eglove]

you can block txts through your provider...


tether means to reboot or power on you need a computer with you to boot the phone up.

[stealth131]

so obviously a untethered is better?

[eglove]

yes it is

[shakalaka]

I don't know what the fuck happened. Yesterday in Cydia had an upgrade for installous and since then it's stopped working. I've tried to play around with the installous files in iphone explorer and deleted a whole bunch of shit but it still doesn't work. Every time I try to re-install is from Cydia it give me some overwrite error.

Is there a way I can restore my phone, without upgrading to 4.3, so that I can still jailbreak it on 4.2?

[SlickA70]

Nope, happened to me to, dunno what happened.

I had to upgrade to 4.3 and downgrade back to 4.2.1, seems to be the only fix I could find.

Make sure you had already saved your shsh blobs in Cydia for 4.2.1 before you do anything.

[shakalaka]

lol...

I have no idea what you just said, noob proof version please?

Ok so I do a restore and upgrade to 4.3 via itunes?

How do I downgrade to 4.2.1 after that?

What in the heck are shsh blobs and how do I save them in cydia?

[Kavy]

^^^^^

make sure you only use hackulo to get installous.

It seems Xsellize and sinful have been having some repo issues with installous.


I updated installous yesterday and installed a few apps this morning but when I just tried to browse apps it got an API error.

It could be down right now.

[shakalaka]

Fuck...it's too late for that right now then..anyway. I went into iPhone explorer and fucked about with a whole bunch of installous files and deleted a bunch of them. lol

Guessing restoring to stock and starting over is the only option, which I don't mind so much if I can figure out how to fucking do that.

I even removed the hackulo source and now when I try to re-add it in the sources, it says not found.

[SlickA70]

http://modmyi.com/forums/general/754423-how-downgrade-4-3-4-2-1-jailbreak-only-if-4-2-1-shsh-saved.html

[shakalaka]

Seems like a lot of work...guess will have to have a look at it tomorrow at some point. Cheers.

[Kavy]

Just noticed on twitter that the Hackulo repo is down so that is a start on why installous is not working right now and why you cannot add the repo

[shakalaka]

Wow...increased myself so much work. Shouldn't have jumped the gun on deleting everything. Damn. lol

[mdeleon]

Any word on when the untethered jailbreak is gonna be out for 4.3? Going on vacation soon and I might have to just stick with tethered for now

[R!zz0]

Does it have cydia 1.1 version for the 4.3?

[jsn]

I'll just bump this thread so we don't have multiple jailbreaking threads.

Can anyone confirm that upon restoring from previous back up, that it gets rid of all traces of the jailbreak? I read online that it does, but I just want to see if anyone has personally tried it before I go and risk losing my warranty. I was thinking of bringing it in to get the temperature checked out. My friends over heated and he said they have a program that can check the temperature record. They replaced the phone on the spot for him when they saw that the phone recorded a temperature which was above normal/safe operating temperature.

Also, do you know if the restore will wipe out that record for the phones temperature?

[SlickA70]

^
I've brought my iPhone in fully restored from a jailbroken state and they didn't say anything.

Remember to change the carrier logo back to your original carrier before you restore though, it's a bitch doing it afterwards.

[jsn]

So you restored it from a previous back up though? My previous back up was from a jailbroken state. It didn't carry anything over from the jailbreak did it? I don't know how else to get my contacts back other than restoring from a previous jailbroken backup.

None of the jailbroken apps (i.e., cydia) carried over.

[SlickA70]

Yes a previous back up from a jailbroken state.

Jailbroken stuff does not carry over regardless of being jailbroken or not.

[jsn]

awesome! Thanks for the response. I should have brought my phone in earlier. It's only happened once but about 2 months ago I had that yellow triangle overheat error page. I don't think the temperature log reads that far back, but it does seem to run fairly warm at times. I'll see what they say.

Anyone know if a restore wipes the temperature log?

[SlickA70]

Just to reiterate:

A jailbroken phone needs to be completely restored via iTunes to go back to factory spec.

A backup made from a jailbroken phone and restored onto a non/jailbroken phone will work fine (Contacts, Calenders, etc etc).

Just in case I misunderstood what you were asking :zzz:.

[jsn]

Yea I got that. I'm just wondering if it wipes the internal temperature log it keeps. The phone keeps a log of the operating temperature which the techs can check to see if your phone overheated. I'm just wondering if it wipes that too. It's not an app or anything like that.

[SlickA70]

I'm not to sure about overheating.

I restored my iPhone before I went into the Apple store and they said they could not bring up diagnostic information due to the fact I wiped my phone before hand.

Mind you the diagnostic was only looked up to remedy battery problems.

He said the phone needed atleast a 48 hour run to collect enough information to send back a proper reading.

[sabad66]

What was wrong with your battery? I've noticed my battery life on my 4 is pretty shitty these days... I wonder if there is anything they can do..

[SlickA70]

Jailbreaking 95% of the time fucks your battery up nicely.

Dont know if its the extra coding or what but 3/4 iPhones I've owned have given me this issue, ranging from my 3GS to two of my 4's.

[jsn]

^^ I'm not sure if it's the older OS or the jailbreaking but I just updated and got rid of my jailbreak. I went from 4.1 to the newest one and the battery life has seemed to improve quite abit.

[SlickA70]

Jailbreaking.

Period.

Trust me.

[J.M.]

I've noticed my battery life has taken a hit as well since I've jailbroken my phone.

Just curious, but how long does everyone's battery last with the jailbreak?

[SlickA70]

Mine goes a full day at about a 2-5% drop every hour with little to no use, which is awesome.

About 10-15% drop with usage (texting, games, music), all at full brightness. Very good as well.

My 4 before this went about an hour or two before death lol...





... Just sitting there.

[jsn]

mine definitely wasn't as bad as that during jailbreak. But over the last few weeks it definitely seemed to get worse. During web browsing, it would drop a percent ever 30 seconds to a minute or so it seemed.

quite abit better now that I refreshed and updated. Probably won't jailbreak it now.

[J.M.]

I guess mine isn't as bad as I thought it was.

I've used it for about 4.5 hours today (text, videos, games) and it's been on standby for about 15 hours since I fully charged it last night and I'm sitting at 51% right now.

[jsn]

^^ that's pretty good. 4.5 hours of use plus stand by for 15 hours? that's definitely better than mine. Currently mine shows 3 hours 25 minutes of usage with 14 hours 26 minutes standby and I'm at 51% too.

iOS 4.3.1 untethered jailbreak just released. This latest untethered jailbreak is incredibly complex. I wonder if it's sign it may be awhile before we see another untethered jailbreak.

http://www.redmondpie.com/jailbreak-ios-4.3.1-untethered-iphone-4-3gs-ipad-ipod-touch-with-redsn0w-0.9.6-how-to-guide/

[Afrodeziak]

just did the 4.3.1 untethered that was released yesterday.
used redsn0w, went without a hitch.

One thing that happened, that I've never seen before on a jailbreak .

I've been using the phone a week or so. All contacts, apps, settings were still on the phone before I ran the jailbreak. Everything was preserved with the jailbreak. I could swear I didn't restore from a backup, like I normally would have to.

Basically I ran the jailbreak and all my shit was still there. yee haw.. less pain in the butt, like previous jailbreaks on my old 3G.

anyone chime in on this? I've always lost my data/settings etc and had to restore my settings.

[tha_bandit]

^ redsn0w never reset anything, just run it and it will jailbreak, keeping everything as is...still backup just in case

[R!zz0]

The battery life suck on 4.3.1 thats why i'm still running 4.2.1 firmware. My friend want to restore it back to 4.2.1.

[eglove]

Battery life is so much better for me and I went from 4.2

[stevieo]

i'm updating to 4.3.1 and jailbreaking. battery life on my phone isn't the greatest, so lets see if it improves.

oh ya 4.1 -> 4.3.1

started up all good, everything went as planned until i opened up cydia. screen started flashing and flickering like crazy, apple picture comes up and an installation bar thing appears. i close cydia, screen stops flashing and flickering but the apple image is still on screen on top of everything. only way to get rid of it is to restart the phone.

few people suggest full restore and back up and then rejailbreak. trying again.

I had the exact same issue, and when I tried downloading Cydia programs (i.e. FolderEnhancer) it would give me a source error.

I ended up restoring my phone and re-jailbreaking again and Cydia works fine now.

[dragonone]

- i don't think you lose anything from a jailbreak. it installs extra things to your iphone. you lose things when you restore it with firmware and start fresh.
- i've read it many times that things get wonky and battery life starts to suck if you restore from a backup. always start fresh. use things like google contacts or idrive. it's a pain to set everything up the first time in gmail but through exchange, everything is pushed including the contacts. gmail can only be set to fetch anyways.
- not many ppl complain about battery life on 4.2.1. but half the ppl complain about it on 4.3 and 4.3.1. i'm still using 4.2.1.
- look for a list of cydia programs that do not work well with 4.3.1. it's out there.
- use pwnage tool if you can (only on mac unfortunately). it's always been the most problem free jailbreak for me. if you don't have access to one, try another pc.
- i didn't believe jailbreaking ruined my battery life before, but to make it clear, it has to do with the programs you install along with cydia. installous isn't the culprit, neither is lockscreen clock hide. i added sinfuliphonerepo and installed a cracked version of mywi and my3g, and that's when my battery life went to hell. i restored to a custom jailbroken 4.2.1 and installed all the apps except for the aforementioned two and battery life is identical to stock 4.2.1 as far as i can tell

[2000impreza]

Looks like the untether jailbreak just rolled out for 4.3.2. Still using the same untether as 4.3.1. Surprisingly Apple has not figured out how to patch the untether yet.

[CivicDXR]

Be careful iPhone 4 users, don't update to 4.3.2 yet, the untethered jailbreak is not quite working yet... everyone else is fine.

[black13]

does anyone know if you can unlock iphone 4 with baseband 3.10.01?

[2000impreza]

Various third party vendors are selling factory IMEI unlocks for $150US. Pretty steep price, but at least the unlock doesn't get undone with baseband/OS updates. Works on all iOS versions and basebands.

http://modmyi.com/forums/unlocking-activation/759298-i-can-officially-factory-unlock-any-t-iphone-4-any-version.html

Alternatively you can buy a Rebel Pro or Gevey sim adaptor. Not the ideal solution and may not work with future OS/baseband updates.

.

u Do know that if apple finds out somehow that it wasn't legit, they'll simply relock it using itunes, btw carriers do this if your are out of your contract for $50 or whatever
