Apple Complete iOS Jailbreak Guide

YAAAY my problem is solved!

I found the solution in this link here:

Basically, I kept pressing up when the apple logo showed up. 10 seconds later, it booted!!

Whoops… I completely forgot that saurik added that to Mobile Substrate. It's good to hear that you got your phone working again, and sorry for suggesting an unnecessary restore!

(Also, 69 pages… Tee-hee… :3)

No worries! I'm just glad I found the answer before I restored. It was a close one too, 2 minutes later and the restore process would have started.
Thanks for the info, I didn't know it was a mobile substrate feature

well, I hope those who get stuck at the apple boot screen come to the solution before they have to restore!

Question. Is there an active forum related to jailbreaking and cydia? I have a couple of questions I'd like to ask....

 

[Dialexio]

I still pay attention to the iOS section pretty often. What questions do you have?

I actually found another site already relating to everything I wanted to know. It was about app piracy, basically.


But I did have one question that popped up in my head just now. What will happen to my jailbroken iPad once I update to iOS6?

 

[Dialexio]

Perhaps it's best you didn't ask; I don't like piracy discussion in this thread.

For x.0 releases of iOS, your device gets restored (even if you click the "Update" button). A backup should be made beforehand, so your settings and game progress will remain intact. Since it's being restored, you will lose Cydia and any tweaks that are installed as well.

I don't know how/if iOS 6.0 will affect the downgrading exploit for the iPad 2 (and newer devices), so be cautious when upgrading.

Wow. Is there any way to avoid having your device being restored when upgrading to a new iOS version? Does it restore because of the sole fact I am jailbroken? I would rather not lose my things because of an upgrade to a new iOS version.

 

[Dialexio]

There's no way to avoid it. Apple excludes the update code from x.0 releases, whereas releases like 5.0.1 or 5.1 do have code that lets you update regularly.

Again, a backup is made before upgrading to a x.0 release, so you shouldn't lose your game progress, music, app settings, etc. (Of course, you will lose the jailbreak though.)

Ohhh I see what you are saying. Whether or not I am jailbroken, the system restore happens with a backup being made prior to restore your data on the new iOS version. It just so happens that through the process, I lose the jailbreak.

You sure know your stuff!

Thank you! Now, is it possible to hack an iPod Shuffle? lol

 

[Dialexio]

Sadly, nobody's taken a shot at the iPod shuffle yet. ;( It really would be nice to possibly get improved VoiceOver voices though.

I can't say I'd expect much to come out of an iPod shuffle hack.

That's where you're wrong; who wouldn't want something ridiculous like Angry Birds for Android(!) on their iPod shuffle?

My iPad is currently jailbroken on 5.0.1 untethered. Is there a way to update to the latest iOS version (5.1.1) and jailbreak it without losing my current apps and cydia data?

 

[Dialexio]

If you update or restore from a backup (I recommend the latter), your App Store stuff, as well as preferences for Cydia apps/tweaks, will stay intact. Cydia themes, tweaks, etc. will be lost, though.

I'm not familiar with backing up Cydia stuff, so I'm afraid I can't really help you there. Starting off fresh and reinstalling tweaks one by one does help make sure unnecessary tweaks don't bog down your device though. (If you purchased something from the Cydia Store, you can redownload it for free.)

Any word on when iOS 6 is going to hit?

 

[Dialexio]

There's no specific date, but September would be a safe bet (it should not be released any later than early October).

 

[chris888222]

Any word on when iOS 6 is going to hit?

A safe bet would be Sep 12 - Sep 21.
Normally it is earlier than the actual iPhone release.

Try one of these.
