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!!!!!)

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

PS. Jailbreakme.com > Easiest & Simplest jailbreak ever.

oh,means no need to connect iphone to laptop ?
everything done by visiting jailbreakme website via iphone safari,correct ?

Yes, correct. One of the simplest jailbreak ever.

thanks bro,im doing it now

Excellent, tell us your results.

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

Manual installation always works for me, I do the same thing where I write down all the Cydia apps I have and I install those things again one by one. Pkgbackup is crap. Never worked for me. What a waste of money. Some people say it works perfectly for them, it doesn't for me (I suspect there are incompatibilities somewhere)

bro.. aku PM asal xreply..
charger aku bila nk send? alamat sume da bg..

Yup. Thats what im talking about before. Good for us

I believe all the Cydia settings falls under "Other" in your iPhone and when you backed it up, the settings are also saved (just like the game saves, or any of the app settings)

I know that whenever I do a restore, all my PocketMoney files (which is super important to me) are also restored once the apps is re-installed (if the re-sync does not install it properly) so the iPhone saved those data somewhere and when the appropriate apps or tweaks is installed, it is automatically connected back.

Guys not sure this is something new to you all or I'm slowpoke. Just install dreamboard from Cydia. It's super duper cool. Changing ur theme can never as simple as that. Have Mac OS X Lion theme as well.

For more info how to do it check it out here

anoyone noe whether is the Sn0wbreeze able to downgrade 4.3.5 to 4.3.3 custom fw?

Use tiny umbrella + iTunes to downgrade easier

is it possible for me to upgrade ios 4.3.1 to 4.3.3 without upgrading to 4.3.5?

Cool bro  gonna try it later

@victorian,
Please remove your post content in post #26 as the jailbroken apps we all are talking about is different from what you're referring. Your post is going to violate the rules in LYN. The jailbroken apps we ppl here are talking about is the one installed in Cydia, mostly tweaks or customizations for iPhone.

Added on September 20, 2011, 11:00 pmPossible only if you have SHSH blob for iOS 4.3.3 saved.

I don't believe there is exist "pirated apps" but i do understand only people can make the apps pirated.

Oops sorry didn't realize that . Anyway edited the post

I read sumwhere that dreamboard drains battery.. but I haven't tried it personally.. please share ur experience..
Thanks..

Those theme need to pay.... Default comes with HTC theme. Having problem in downloading the theme using iFile maybe I'm not pro enough. Will try again later as last night I just okay awhile only. About the draining battery issue not sure yet. But you can change ur theme with just I touch. Very fast and simple. Highly recommended if anyone like to play with theme.

Finally I know why I can't add any theme.



This is how it looks like and how you change your theme.

I believe you have to pay for dreamboard while winterboard is free.

Guys, please keep the thread clean. As mentioned in the 1st Post, No Piracy Discussion is allowed. We jailbreak to free our iPhone to allow us to do all these great things like SBSettings and the themes customisation, some of us have other things in mind and those are better kept to yourselves.

dreamboard is free . only certain themes u need to buy

I just jailbreak my iphone 4 using redsnow.. IOS 5 is really great..

This post has been edited by Roysmith: Sep 22 2011, 01:12 AM

Beta version bro ?

I've restored my iPhone to default 4.3.3 and jb using redsnow 0.9.9b1 and things go well, but, I hit by the "Unable to load network list". I don't remember my baseband before this but now it is 04.10.01 and this phone is the Maxis phone set.

Any advice?

Beta 7..

iphone 5 release dy?

I mean iphone 4 using ios 5..

Welcome to the Beta familia babehh..
But roy you ever notice on the iOS5 where after its got jailbrake,alot of serious bugs and the phone keeps on restarting ? and thats why i hate to see beta iOS5 on my iPhone/iPad...
f customer request,i just do it for them FOC...hahah

guys any solution?

No, i dont face any problem.. Bugs fixed in beta 7..

lets say downgrade from 4.3.5 to 4.3.3, only can down to custom fw only rite?

official fw as well

Both official and custom firmware also can IF AND ONLY IF you have SHSH blobs saved

Downgrade ioS 4.3.5 is definitely doable... need helP?

Both ways, with or without shsh.

Sure? Means now can JB iPad 2 with 4.3.5 fw?

Guys , I have a iPhone 3GS running on 3.1.3 . I wanted to update to 4.2.1 . So can I straight update or must I go through 4.3.5 ?

We are here talking about iphone bro. Ipad 2 only can if you are on 4.3.3

This post has been edited by WimpyKid: Sep 22 2011, 06:03 PM

You should be able to use either redsn0w or greenpoison for the 4.2.1 firmware untethered

Or, i tot dats ipad 2 can downgrade w/o shsh blobs too.

In order to downgrade. Pre requirement = shsh. Check thru tinyumbrella for any shsh saved previously.

With upgrading or downgrading to any iOS that is no longer sign by apple require previously saved SHSH.

If you got 4.2.1 SHSH you can upgrade. So always save your new SHSH when is release.

I still on 4.2.1 and I can still save 4.3.5, I always plug my phone and run tinyumbrella whenever Apple release new iOS.

You can even save iOS5 beta SHSH with tinyumbrella.

As long you have your SHSH you can upgrade or downgrade anytime.

Yup , I have all the major shsh . So can I update straight to 4.2.1 or must I update to 4.3.5 first then downgrade to 4.2.1

so ? any idea?

Yes u can.. Try this link..

http://cydiahelp.com/

means i can use the latest redsn0w to JB me my 4.2.1 malaysia set without care about the baseband right?

Yes.. Try to google for info..

Yup thx, i totally get that. What i've confuse is what WimpyKid had been state that the iphone can be downgrade with or without shsh blobs. or did i misunderstood his statement??

This post has been edited by latworx: Sep 23 2011, 03:29 AM

We are able to save the shsh without updating the firmware?

You can upgrade to 4.2.1 with your previously saved SHSH blob. No need to go through 4.3.5.

You can only upgrade/downgrade to any iOS version IF AND ONLY IF you have the SHSH blob for that particular version SAVED.

Yes. Through TinyUmbrella. Or Cydia will also help you to save them.

Run TSS server in tinyumbrella and shift+restore from itunes. (do this at your own risk). Restore directly to 4.2.1 ipsw. Make sure you backup first.

Added on September 23, 2011, 8:31 amCydia no longer auto save your shsh. Just go and save your shsh manually whenever new iOS is out.

This post has been edited by DE.si.MON: Sep 23 2011, 08:31 AM

With saved shsh you can and without shsh you can try this method here

The method in the link you given is by modifying host file which will direct iOS restore verification to saurik's server, which only work if saurik's server has your SHSH blob saved previously. So it's the same thing, you NEED SHSH blobs (whether locally or on saurik's server) to restore iOS to the version Apple had officially stopped signing.

Ahh this reminds me of the issue when 4.0 came out in modmyi, there were members who we reporting that they managed to downgrade without SHSH. BUT, all their methods required them to point the host file to saurik server which basically means that it requires the method to have SHSH saved somewhere. Turns out for those who were successful, Saurik had their SHSH saved most likely because the iPhone they had was a refurbished unit.

hi sifu here, i want to ask abt the version issue n jailbreak, now my iphone 4 is 4.1 version, i had download the 4.3.3 version, my 4.1 already is jail, can i now use the download 4.3.3 upgrade my 4.1 then jailbreak it? thanks

This post has been edited by linkokkeen: Sep 23 2011, 06:47 PM

Yeah. Thx for clarifying

guys the newest redsn0w will make iphone4 4.2.1 to untethered jailbreak? means i do not need to tetherJB to boot my phone isit?

Only iphone firmware 4.3.5 is tethered.. Others below it is all untethered with any jailbreak software..

Added on September 23, 2011, 9:49 pmYes, upgrade it and jb with redsnow..

THanks man.. sorry for disturbing u guys..

So far only iphone3g can restore without shsh, correct me if im wrong.

Added on September 23, 2011, 11:55 pmUpgrade one last time from 3.1.3 to 4.1.

This post has been edited by DE.si.MON: Sep 23 2011, 11:55 PM

Owh..no wonder when i tried to downgrade one of the sets without shsh it could not be done.Thanks for the info.

Provided you have 4.3.3 shsh blob.

Can someone stop encouraging upgrade/downgrade without mentioning shsh blob.

without shsh surely cannot downgrade the ios...

A lot of ppl upgrade/downgraded/restored their device without knowing that they actually have SHSH blob saved somewhere; in the end they just tell everyone that upgrade/downgrade/restore can be done without SHSH.

GUYS, YOU NEED SHSH BLOB FOR UPGRADE/DOWNGRADE/RESTORE THE IOS TO ANY VERSION WHICH IS NOT CURRENTLY SIGNED BY APPLE.

if all iphone user know what is shsh blob its easier...

my fren accidentally upgrade to ios 4.3.5 after his fon bricked while using tethered jb..can he downgrade to ios 4.3.3 and then do untethered jb again?he got no such shsh backup at all..plz help me..sorry 4 asking such noob question..i'm still learning..TQ sifoo

This post has been edited by blurdreamz: Sep 24 2011, 05:27 PM

Ask your friend to connect his iPhone to PC, then run TinyUmbrella.
Check the option "Request SHSH from Cydia" in Advanced tab then try to hit Save SHSH.
If the SHSH blob for 4.3.3 is there, then he can downgrade to 4.3.3 and perform untethered jailbreak by visiting jailbreakme.com on his iPhone.

I knew that but remember after you gave me the link to downgrade without shsh? I tried and failed. Maybe there was actually no shsh lo and there is no way to do it without shsh. Those who managed to do it actually had shsh saved without their knowledge or maybe is refurbished set like mentioned by huiqing88
