iOS4 jailbroken

[w00dsy]

possibly the nicest jailbreak i've seen, it's all done from the phone now, just visit http://jailbreakme.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and you'll see the slide to jailbreak. Once you've done that it says it's downloading and then it'll jailbreak it. No need to restart, it'll add Cydia and then you're set. It worked for me on an iPhone 3GS with the new bootrom and iOS 4.01

Does it work on the iphone 4 yet?

[w00dsy]

yeah it's a universal iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch jailbreak. Here's some info on the whole thing http://claytonbraasch.blogspot.com/2010 ... me-20.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Wow that's amazingly easy!? Might give it a go on iPhone 4

[DexterPunk]

bout to give this a shot since the last couple of attempts failed. syncing phone takes forever!

Once USB3 starts to take off (and if it's ever added to the iPhone), it should improve things.

To the guys that have done it, have you restarted the phone since? Apparently it kills FaceTime and MMS on every iOS device (maybe not such a big deal ha). Theres a true JB "coming soon" aswell.

[DexterPunk]

So perhaps I should just restore? I did it, but not really sure I'll ever use it?

Facetime and mms are fixed according to the comments and release notes.

i saw some on whirlpool who had that issue, but as markus said it has now been fixed. I never had the mms issue, and not having an iphone 4 i didn't even know what facetime was. I had to google it.

Oh sweet thanks guys.

Thats insane.. what a security hole.. jailbreak from a webpage.. wonder if you can do it without the person accepting it.. crazy

[wabbit]

what a security hole..

Very true, it uses a PDF vulnerability.

Yep, there's a few articles on various tech websites. Apparently you can download an app from Cydia which blocks this security vulnerability, but you need to Jailbreak first to install it!

PS. I went ahead and jailbroke my iPhone 4 yesterday. Worked fine

Couple of must have apps;

lockinfo (calendar, sms, mail, notification info all neatly displayed on lock screen)
five icon dock (self explanatory. There's even a six icon dock but it's a little cramped)
SBsettings (quick menu accessible from anywhere to toggle on/off various features such as wifi, bluetooth, change brightness etc.)
default browser changer (used it to change to Atomic browser)

And if you are a pirate, "installous".....

I just jailbroke mine (original 3G).. worked fine. Have lockinfo (do you have to pay for this? It said something about a trial period) and five icon dock. Any other recommendations?

[DexterPunk]

I did mine... But I'm not sure if I'll utilize it or not. I might just restore back again... The only thing I may use is Bluetooth file transfer, but I couldn't find an app for it. Also I'm not convinced about paying for apps that are for a jail broken phone. I thought the cydia interface was a little clunky, I thought it might look and feel similar to the app store, which is a pleasure to use.

[w00dsy]

get Installous Dex

[DexterPunk]

How do I do this? I looked for it on cydia with no luck.

[w00dsy]

go into Cydia, navigate over to Manage, then click on Sources, and click Edit in the top right hand corner, then Add on the top left corner, once you’ve clicked add, type in “Cydia.hackulo.us” into the http repository screen. Then tap on Add Source and it’ll give you a message about piracy. Click OK on the message and download Installous through this new repo!

[kwijibo]

BiteSMS is pretty cool too. You can reply right immediately from the box that pops up.. whatever you're doing

Thanks w00dsy, worked a treat...... However I bought the tomtom app, its sitting in Installous saying 'downloaded'.. I click on it and select install, and it says 'Invalid IPA'. Any advise?

[w00dsy]

i got that until i rebooted the phone

[w00dsy]

there's a new JB for 4.1 http://limera1n.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

it's pretty easy but there's some instructions here http://iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=12133" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

[wabbit]

Anyone know if the jailbreaking works on the new Apple TV? seeing it's using exactly the same OS.

[w00dsy]

not that one, but the greenpois0n JB will, it was supposed to be released today but limera1n jumped them and i think they are going to incorporate it into their own given theirs doesn't JB iPhones 3's.
