Thanks siawgu!! This is confirmed working on my iphone.

Just incase anyone else is searching for this and is wondering how to go about the process, I have updated my first post.

Hmm it seems that it works for some and doesnt works so some.

This is weird.

Check the jailbreaking thread pinned. Currently the patch on cydia does not work, neither does the manual approach.
