it tried to jailbreak my ip4 today, first time jailbreak with redsnow 0.9.9b9d, after jailbreak, it boots up, and i can see the cydia icon is blank white, then i rejailbreak again with redsnow same version, this time cydia icon appears, but when i start it, it crashes and wont start, back to springboard.. i rejailbreak several time, but still i cannot start cydia..
my problem now,
1. i can reboot as usual to iphone even i shutdown, does not need to tether boot, why?
2. cannot start cydia
3. cannot make phone calls, hangs..
4. cannot open safari, crashes..
in the end, i restored back original firmware and stop my jailbreaking effort for the moment..
dear jailbreaking frens, what did i do wrong?
fyi, im running ios 5.0.1 9a405 on iphone 4..
thx all..
All ur steps are correct - but you miss out the last step - which is as below:-
Step 5 (Booting into tethered mode): Once Cydia has been installed, you will have to boot your device into tethered mode. To do this, put your device back into DFU mode. In “Extras”, select “Just boot” and wait for the process to complete. Once done, you will be booted into tethered jailbroken state. You will have to repeat this step whenever you reboot your iOS device.
for semi tethered jb - if u restart ur phone without this step, cydia will be a white icon and all apps will crash (u will still be able to make calls/sms)
hope this helps
