Apple Complete iOS Jailbreak Guide

[Dialexio]

It's probably a Mobile Substrate extension (or a combination of them). Some Mobile Substrate extensions do like to chew up lots of resources.

redsn0w and Corona were updated not too long ago to address a problem with "launchctl." (PwnageTool was not updated, though.) Just re-jailbreak with the new redsn0w (be sure to uncheck "Install Cydia"), or install the new version of Corona to get the fix. (It doesn't matter which path you take; you'll have the same thing in the end.)

so i need help...i followed the guide and saw that my iphone was hanging at the apple logo, did the whole tethered boot thing...now its hanging at the pwnapple, any suggestions?

 

[Dialexio]

I heard that the untether adds a few more seconds to the boot process. But if your iPhone doesn't get past the Apple logo at all, I would restore (from a backup) in iTunes.

so i tried to restoreit...but itunes is just staying at "verifying iphone restore with apple" its not doing anything at all

Has anybody found a faw to fix the Cover Flow glitch? When I go into coverflow while playing music, it freezes and SpringBoard restarts.

all i can think of then is to try and change your host file to proxy the apple server, then sticking it in a pawned dfu state, if you;ve already added the apple proxy in your host file then try removing it and trying to update with a pawned dfu, failing that try holding the power and menu button if it doesnt come back on take it back to an apple store and pray it still under warranty, if it is they'll just give you a new phone as long as you make up some crappy excuse.

I got a new iphone 4 just by saying the mic sometimes plays up,

 

[Xale]

how would i go about adding the apple proxy into my host file?

 

[yusuo]

how would i go about adding the apple proxy into my host file?

Step 3: Navigate to Windows > System 32 > drivers > etc on Windows or just etc on OS X. Locate a file named hosts, make a backup copy of it and then open it up with a text editor.

Step 4: Add the following code to hosts and save the file
74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com



On windows you cant edit the file where it is so cut and paste it to the desktop make your changes and then cut and paste back into the proper folder, do this while itunes is closed

Here, it says iOS 5.0.1 is untethered:

iPod Touch

- iPod touch 1G and iPod touch 2G (old and new bootroms)
- iPod touch 3G and iPod touch 4G (iOS ≤4.3.3 and 5.0.1 untethered / 4.3.4-5.0 tethered)

However, over here it says it is underlined and magenta, which means it is tethered:

iOS 4.3.4 through 5.0.1, look into redsn0w.

Just a minor mistake. It is an untethered jailbreak, right? Just making sure, this is my first time jailbreaking.

Yes the untethered jailbreak was just released yesterday for 5.0.1 and it just has not been fixed in the OP.

 

[zeromac]

Does anyone have a mirror for the latest redsn0w?

 

[Dialexio]

Whoops, sorry about that!

 

[KuRensan]

I just made my Ipod G4 5.0.1 untethered with the newest redsn0w but now when I try to install something with it says that the .API is invalid, even the .api's I downloaded before I used the newest redsn0w someone else encountered this already ??

 

[DjoeN]

After the 3th redsn0w release to fix stuff, my iPad 1, does install at least it's bought Cydia apps.
Still problems on my iPod Touch 4, it errors on some cydia apps

Anyway, i wish the had waited a few more days to iron out the bugs
Now it's waiting for a jailbreak for my iPad2 (still on iOS 4.3.3 jailbroken) and a Jailbreak for my ATV2, can't wait to update that to iOS 4.4.4 (iOS 5)

 

[Dialexio]

Keep the piracy out of this thread, please.

UPDATE: If you jailbreak your Apple TV 2G, Seas0nPass now has the untether for iOS 4.4.4!

 

[Armadillo]

Want to update from jailbroken 4.2.1 iphone 4 to jailbroken 5.0.1. Want to keep all my jailbroken apps, saves etc, so how do I go about it?

Quick look suggests, sync phone and make backup in itunes, restore to 5.0.1, jailbreak it and then restore backup and sync?

If not how do I do it, most guides seem to be from a tethered 5.0.1 to untethered or untouched 5.0.1 to jailbroken.

Thanks.

 

[ProtoKun7]

I synchronised, updated through iTunes and rejailbroke afterwards; worked for me though if there's a more elegant solution I'm not sure.

 

[Armadillo]

Had to go into recovery mode restore to factory settings and update to 5.0.1. Then it restored my backup for me, jailbroke it and resynced my apps.

Couldn't just update for some reason, gave an error .
