So yeah, my iPhone 4 Jailbreak thread was a victim of switching hosts.
Just wanted to say that everything was going great, but I have noticed that my app store is crashing when I try to download anything legit now. Don't know why that's happening. I've heard that some people who haven't jailbroken their phones may be having the same problem, but I don't know if that's true.
-
Jailbroke this morning, and was able to successfully install an app from the appstore as expected.
What are the essential apps you've gotten through Cydia?

Right now, I have:
SBSettings and Install0us are the most important.
To get Install0us to work, you need AppSync for OS 4.0.
I also installed CyDelete and iPowerHour (Yes, the drinking game).
There is a hack for My3G and MyWifi, which allow you to trick your device into thinking it's on WiFi when it's on 3G, and to tether respectively. I'm not so sure about them, though. I may hold off until a legit free version of these are released, which I'm sure they will be.
Once I get this figured out, I may PM you about getting the AppStore.app off you, so maybe I can restore whatever's corrupt with mine.
I still need to do a little research first though.

What does this mean, and why should I do it? Also, is this for iPhone 4 only? i have the original 3G

You shouldn't and no.

If you don't like every app for free and the ability to tweak your phone how you want it, then no.

Or void your warranty. Or make it easier to hack (especially if you use SSH). Or create instability within your OS. Or putting 3rd party apps on your phone that may or may not be junk. Or the inability to receive an update from Apple without losing all of your jailbreak "stuff".
Just something to think about. IF I had an iPhone, I probably would not do it.

It's my work-provided/paid for phone so I am guessing the answer is "no".
But thanks for the comments. Chad, you know how to do all that crayzee interwebs stuff. If i was as tech-smart as you, then maybe I would... but I am definitely not.

Which is the reason why I answered 10 comments ago that you shouldn't. :)

I'm not jailbreaking my phone evar, I have too much respect for myself.

Backup/Restore. No trace of jailbreak whatsoever, and you have all the apps and settings you would have if you never hacked in the first place.
Or make it easier to hack (especially if you use SSH).
Change your password from "alpine".
Or create instability within your OS.
Hasn't been a problem for me. I had my 3G hacked for over a year.
Or putting 3rd party apps on your phone that may or may not be junk.
Never once had a problem with that. Worst case scenario with the "junk", is an app that crashes, so you have to find another version. Worst-worst case scenario (that has never happened to me) is that something screws up your settings and you have to restore from a backup and rejailbreak.
Or the inability to receive an update from Apple without losing all of your jailbreak "stuff".
Better to have loved and lost...

By the way, I figured out the problem with my AppStore app.
I had it docked in SBSettings, so it was for all intents and purposes "hidden". That doesn't work for the AppStore.
Took it out of the SBSettings dock, and I'm golden.

Chadskins,
I think I 'm ready to do this, can you send me the info or sites on how.
Thanks!

Go to it from your phone. It will take 2 seconds.
You're done.
There's a really good forum that can answer any questions you may have, but it is currently under a DDOS attack.
When they come back, though, I'd check out http://www.xsellize.com (http://www.xsellize.com).
-
GF, make sure you do not upgrade to iOS 4.0.2, as this fixes the exploit that the jailbreakme.com website uses. If you upgrade after jailbreaking, it will remove the jailbreaking apps you installed.
-
Thanks Jar, yeah it warns you on Cydia.
Chad,
WTF I thought the whole point of this thing was for like free apps, I don't see a single free app on Cydia?
-
Chadskins, what cool apps do you like? I got MyWi which is why I decided to jailbreak in the first place and I got the 3G one that lets me use face time over 3G.

I thought you had jailbroken before?
You want to add the Appulous repo (mentioned in one of the earlier posts). In fact, add all of those we talked about earlier in this thread.
Specifically for this, you want http://cydia.appulo.us (http://cydia.appulo.us).
Then download Installous.
From there you can download all the appstore apps you want.
If you have to set your own homepage (I can't remember) from Installous, use http://apptrackr.org (http://apptrackr.org).
-

I have both of those. They're awesome.
SBSettings is a must.
BiteSMS is pretty cool.
I even steal cracked versions of those apps as .deb files and install them with iFile.
Again, all that info is easy to find at XSellize, but the site's down now.

Ok...I want to do this now so I can get some of the apps over 3G and not wifi. I am running 4.2.1 and I can't just go to jailbreakme.com
Should I upgrade to the newest software and then jailbreak?

Has anyone gotten iOS 5 yet?

Fucking IT nerds...

Yes, it took hours to download. It's pretty cool.

Do you have a 3gs or a 4? It's pretty neat on my 3gs, but I've noticed it's taking longer to switch between applications.
However, on the 4S, it's pretty quick.

Every attempt has given me an estimate of 7 hours.

SO I have IOS 5.0.1 and I can't go to jailbreakme.com to jailbreak my phone. How can I do this? The main thing I want is to be able to do things like facetime over 3G and not have to be connected to Wifi. Someone help a brotha out...

Which iPhone? 4s? 4?

4. You can't just go to jailbreakme and get it done. The redsnow, pwnage and sn0wbreeze are all pretty complicated...

Those are the only ways to do it. Jailbreakme.com hasn't worked in about 2 years. There's a new solution with each version of IOS you're using, to the decimal point. Check out http://xsellize.com/index (http://xsellize.com/index) for info on which one you've got to use for your version.
I got a 4s about 6 months ago, and I haven't had a jailbroken phone since. I kinda miss it, but I'm learning to live without it.

You can jailbreak the 4s... dude, get with the times.

I should say, there's no simple way to a stable, untethered jailbreak at this time.
At least not that I know of. I haven't really been keeping up, cause until I hear that they've released a simple jailbreak, I'm not going to bother with it.
Right now, this is the only way that I know of.

And this is just to unlock your phone (meaning you can switch networks). Still don't see a legitimate jailbreak.
RedSn0w and Greenp0ison have noting on their websites for 4s still.

I'll be damned. Thanks for the link.
You done it yet? No problems?
I may go ahead and do this some time this week/weekend.
-
Hearing it messes up the iPod/music playing function of the phone. Any truth to that?

I still have the 4, but I have 5.01 jailbroken. MyWi isn't what it used to be, works sporadically, but I was having that issue even with 4.31. Other than that everything else works fine.
Wife has 4s was going to jailbreak hers, just hadn't gotten to it yet. Will let you know.
-
Jailbroke the 4s last night.
The only issue I've noticed so far, which I'm working to resolve, is that it doesn't seem to connect to WiFi.
Other than that, everything appears to be golden. iPod functionality plays fine. The few little hacks & tweaks and installous programs I downloaded appear to be working.
-
Noticing a pretty significant battery drain.
Not sure which app/tweak I've installed that's causing it.
-
In case anyone cares, I rebooted my modem/router and the WiFi problem went away.
The battery problem's still a problem though.
It's dropped 33% in 40 minutes since I left work.
Granted, I've been fucking around on it, installing shit, browsing Appulous, etc.
We'll see if it's still this bad once I've settled in and am not constantly fiddling with it.

Well, naturally it will drain more since it is doing more now, clocking faster, working harder etc - but that droppff does seem a little extreme. Jailbreaking the iPhone probably puts the battery drain on par with the Incredible, Thunderbolt and other high end Droid phones. That was my only beef with Android was the battery life suxxored. I switched to the iPhone 4 last fall since I already had the iPad 2 and wanted to utilize the Cloud and streamline my music and other things. I didn't root the Android because battery already sucked and I probably won't jailbreak the iPhone for fear of battery issues. Its the one pro of iPhone that I love. If you get those issues sorted out please post.

You shouldn't fiddle with it for more than 2 minutes you'll go blind.
And I would check your apps, go to be something causing the drain. The 4s battery life isnt as good as the 4 to begin with.

Yeah, I thought the same thing.
In the last hour, I spent about 30 minutes browsing Twitter and facebook as a test. I have Weather Live, Sportacular, Google Talk+, Stanza, Twitter, Facebook, Reminders, Mail, and Phone running in the background. I have a reminder set for when I leave work, so my GPS is running as well. It dropped 15% in that time. Not that bad. I think that's pretty close to what my battery life was before I ever jailbroke. It may be something like 10% worse overall, at worst.
Later, I will run at least an hour-long "Pandora Test" and let you know how that goes.
-
I spent exactly 1 hour playing basketball and not looking at my phone at all. In that time, I had all of the aforementioned things running in the background. In that hour, it only drained 3%. Not bad.
