David has asked me to start version 2 of the thread as the original version has more than 2500 posts already.

Please post your discussion concerning the iPhone Jailbreaking in this thread. I assume David will be closing the V1 thread once this one is up and running. I will put in some of the initial posts which is extremely informative from the previous thread as well (I hope samlee860407 is okay with that)

Credit goes to David and samlee860407 for their initial posts in version 1 of the thread.

A lot of the time when you need to jailbreak, you will need to download a fresh iPhone Stock firmware (DO NOT TOUCH THESE KIND OF FIRMWARE IF YOU ARE USING A LOCKED SET!!!!!)

You can find the location of the files in the link below

guys,sorry for the noob question
how to jb using jailbreakme ?
anyone mind to teach ?
thanks

If your firmware is susceptible to the jailbreakme exploit, then ALL you have to do is use your safari in your iPhone and visit the jailbreak me website

http://www.jailbreakme.com

You should be able to see a toggle that says Cydia with an install button. Click on that button and you're good to go

The exploit works for firmware 4.3.3 and below.

Q: Which devices and firmware versions are supported?
A: In this initial release, the following configurations are supported:

- iPad1: 4.3 through 4.3.3
- iPad2: 4.3.3
- iPhone3GS: 4.3 through 4.3.3
- iPhone4: 4.3 through 4.3.3
- iPhone4-CDMA: 4.2.6 through 4.2.8
- iPod touch 3g: 4.3, 4.3.2, 4.3.3
- iPod touch 4g: 4.3 through 4.3.3

still tethered jb...

i think untethered for iOS 4.3.5 won't be release since all jailbreakers concentrate on iOS 5.

exactly.....cant wait for ios 5 release....

think so also.. same goes to ipad 2.. got my replacement set replaced but 4.3.5 dun think they will jb it

Unless iOS 5.0 jailbreak got really good apps/tweak comes up.. else I think I stop jailbreaking d.. since iOS 5 offer most of the tweak I needed.. such as
-notified
-lockinfo

But still missing sbsettings

I've a question.. Let's say i want to update my iOS 4.3.1 to iOS 4.3.3. I've backup my phone using itunes. Will all my jailbreak settings/add-ons be backuped too? Or it won't & i've to download & configure all over again?

U need to download back all the cydia apps as its not being backup by itunes. There are cydia apps which backup all the cydia apps data and setting only, but still, u need to download and install all the apps itself. But, what happen at me, everytime i restore my backup using itunes, it'll also restore my setting for cydia apps, no need to reconfigure. Correct me if i'm wrong

^backup using pkgbackup.

the bad news is pkgbackup does not always works.
Some Cydia apps can't install correctly.
This my experince after tried pkgbackup.

I have recently just upgraded my iPhone 4 from iOS4.1 to iOS4.3.3.
For your information, I did not use PkgBackup, I simply re-download all the Cydia tweaks that I had been using in iOS4.1 (I write down a list). Amazingly, after re-download and install all those tweaks that I've been using, all their settings are automatically restored as well. I did perform restore from backup in iTunes after the iOS restore. I guess their configuration files are also backup in iTunes.

thats great info u got there. thanks
