For real? And the iPhone 4 too?
Installed! Yes!!!! JB'ed iP4 finally!!!! Cydia installed like a charm!! Sweeeet!!!
not working for me on ipad 3.2.1. WTF!
I need to hacktivate my iPhone 4 to get pass activation. Any tips?
Comex your the man 3GS broken baby !!! Thanx
does this work for iPod Touch also?
Very nice. Both my iPhone 4 and iPad w/ 3.2.1 are now updated. Tethering is back!
Just jb my ip4 installed great. installed one of the apps on cydia and it needed to rebbot my phone. no big deal. now my phone is stuck on the apple boot logo??? WTF!!! Any ideas????? Tried hard resetting. Itunes wont even recognoze it??
Kraytn, how did u get it to work on ipad 3.2.1?
how can i unlock in any network??? did someone now?
Anyone else have the problem where you face time has disappeared under the phone settings?
I wouldn't touch this with a barge pole for a few days. I would wait until you get people to find bugs and let others brick their phones. I bet this can cause more hassle than it's worth at the minute!
HELP!!!! My ip4 is stuck on he boot screen after i installed clear lockscreen from cydia! ??? Now it just sits there on the boot screen?? Even plugged it in to see if itunes would recognize it??
Doesn't seem to be working for me on iPad 3.2.1 either.. what did I do wrong?
Great job!! I'm gonna wait a while to jaibreak my iPhone 4 because I guarantee you 99 percent of the apps don't work with the new hardware. Plus there are so many people having problems.
I'm going to wait till it's been out for a couple of months, there's no OMG i need them Apps on jailbreak right now anyway.
Just jailbroke my iPad no problems yet.
I only trust the Dev Team and GeoHot !
Facetime and MMS are gone on my iPhone 4. Restore...
Worked for me iPhone 4 and 3GS.
FaceTime and MMS broken. Thanks comex.
My FaceTime is gone too. My buddy (sitting next to me) just jailbroke his ip4 but his FaceTime is there. WTF.
iPhone 4... FaceTime gone. MMS gone. Tethering option gone.
Add to that Cydia being hopelessly overwhelmed there's no way to install anything that I jailbroke for.
So far, not happy... Should've waited
just jailbroke my iPhone 4...worked perfectly but MMS was gone. Doing restore now...will use again once kinks are worked out...
DL at your OWN risk. 'Nuff said.
I'm waitN on the Dev Team...
it's working gr8, just got my iPhone done with 4.0.1. Thank you...
I must be missing something, but what's the number 1 reason for jailbreaking the iPhone 4 with ios4?
Has anyone come across a problem that a complete restore hasn't fixed ? If your iTunes doesn't recognize your iPhone after it gets stuck, try a friends computer with your friends account. I fixed a 'stuck' iPhone that way... just open iTunes and plug in the 'stuck' phone, it should detect it as a new device, since it wasn't ever on 'your' account. Then do a full restore as a new phone and don't put any of your stuff on the device.
can you teather for free with this?
well don't be so happy, after jailbreak iphone 4 mms and facetime disappear. still has some bugs.
So far no headaches.
Ugh! JB broke my FaceTime, MMS and all data except for texting. Can't surf the net, not internet apps will work. Cydia gave me error messages that kept saying something about unable to fetch xyz... Restoring now... I'll try again once all the bugs are worked out.
I have iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0 on AT&T. I have SHSHs on file for the iOS 4.0 and 4.01. I have cydia on my phone (its very slow) I installed two jailbroken apps (Makeitmine and Five dock) they worked perfectly. I also tried to use MMS and Facetime and both are working fine. However I have not restarted my phone since some people mentioned I might loose MMS and Facetime after a restart.
Screw that! I'm not bricking my 4. I'll wait. The only thing I really want JB for is tethering.
What a ball ache, MMS and Facetime lost. Restored and it appeared. Loaded back up and it went again. Lost all my contact, photo's and ringtones. Nice one! Next time why dont you BETA test it on a number of handsets and then iron the bugs out.
Idiots - you KNOW that jailbreaking as it is, is a risky thing to do. Where do you get the balls to scoff at the developers who released the JB?? These guys pours countless hours into releasing this to satisfy all of you and the second something goes awry you bitch and moan. Grow up and learn to say thank you.
i got a iphone 4 did the jailbreak and i have no problems so far, but i have no restarted the phone yet. got my tether back
Has anyone had MMS/FaceTime issues without installing winterboard? mine was fine before winterboard. Anyway some of the best tweaks and apps aren't updated yet.
Anyway if you enjoy the dev teams hard work, DONATE!!!
The jb was a success on my iPhone 4, I have sbsettings running which I missed desperately, so far I have no probs otter than the mms and FaceTime but I can live without them until the bugs are fixed because having all the other stuff is SO worth it!!!
@jonar1us Comex is part of the dev team. And there all working on these issues together. Just say'n
YOU ARE THE BEST... the BEST Tool.... I would like to donate for this. Please tell me how and were I can do this. I am very happy about this... WORKED so perfect... i had the original Iphone - and old 3g - and did this with all the OLD hard long steps and now this is amazing. Must have been an emense amount of work to do this. I love it!!! GREAT JOB.
COMEX than you on my 3gs worked like a charm ...
If you lose MMS/Facetime after JB'ing, all you need to do is plug the phone in, start iTunes, right click on the phone and select "Restore from backup". Once restored, Cydia will remain, but Facetime and MMS should work.
Hat tip to Dev-Team. Awesome work guys!
Thanks to those who released this and a bigger thanks to those of you who seem to be alpha testing this. I'll see you in a couple of weeks when the risk is lower and the jb app developers have something for my iP4.
You get what you pay for. Omg there are bugs on a free program...duuuh all you who can't wait get to test the bugs out for the rest of us who don't mind waiting. Thanks.
Thanks for beta testing people!
And nice job Comex, MuscleNerd, PlanetBeing etc., can't wait to be using my iP4 data on my iPad
Congratulations to those that have bricked their devices from this 'reputable' jailbreak program.
Stan, in my case, it is to turn multitasking off. I never wanted it so I want it gone. No Apple provided option? So be it.
@tjhooker It's impossible to brick an iPhone with a userland style JB. Go back to your hole and shut up till you know what your talking about. You obviously don't have to jailbreak if you don't want, so why hate on others because we enjoy it!!!
Jailbreak went just fine, I sent an MMS ok. Facetime icon was there... reboot, no facetime icon. I don't use it tho so that doesn't matter to me.
MMS and Facetime gone and most themes wont work via winterboard
@HUTCH i restored my phone to 4.0.1. Then jailbroke it, cydia installed but no MMS/Facetime I restored it from back up but still no MMS/Facetime
The iPhone 4 screen seems to scratch more then my 3GS???
I love seeing people bricking their phones with this and then asking WTF?? shows you how stupid this country is.
Comex is really the man for this one...my grandmother could do the jailbreak its so easy. One or two small glitches are to be expected. Within a week or so it'll be all dialed in. Patience people.
Hey for all those that bricked i did also but u can fix it just turn it off by holding the power and home then while its off connect it to itunes when it turns on just hold the home button and u can restore it and rejailbreak i had to do this why it boot looped i think it cause i didnt update itunes once i did boom it worked but to all that have the boot loop u can fix it no worries
A restore from my last backup re-enabled FaceTime and MMS on the active iOS4 Jailbreak
Installed it on my iPhone 4 and was fine for a while. One of the apps I installed required a reset, which I chose to do upon exiting Rock. As another app installed I put Rock into the background, then I had my problem. My screen went black and it wouldn't do anything.
So now I'm trying to re-install the OS. I put it in DFU mode and the software installed onto my computer. Unfortunately, it still seems to be stuck at the Apple boot logo.
I REALLY hope I didn't just brick my iPhone 4.
I had a lot of problem, lost FaceTime and mms, did a complete restore and they are still gone and missing from settings too.
Is that working on ipod touch 4.0?
Lost FaceTime and MMS on iPhone 4
Not to be a downer, but doesn't the fact you can jailbreak through a browser mean there is a huge absolutely huge security hole in Safari that would allow for abuse, rather than the benefit of jailbreaking?
Thanks guys, I'll be waiiting a little while before I JB then. I don't have any rush. Through Safari sounds the most convenient but Spirit was stupid easy when I used it on 3.1.3. Hope it gets fixed!
MMS seems fine here, too. Cydia is wicked slow though. All I want for now is sbsettings. And 3gUnrestrictor. And Safari downloader.
@Keisuke- Yup. Scary, huh? I'm betting that exploit was found fairly quickly and the rest of the time they spent just making the jb end user friendly.
No mms or FaceTime
To get your MMS & FaceTime back...plug your iPhone into iTunes, Right Click the iPhone in the left tab bar of iTunes, Choose, "Restore from Backup..." and then, bam. You have MMS & FaceTime.
iPhone 4, iOS 4/Jailbroken
Yes!
I lost my cellular data connection. Tried resetting network settings but it didn't work. Now for a fresh install
America Wake Up and Stop Being Stupid!!!!
Did it right when the site went live... JB worked first time... Cydia on desktop the whole deal... D/l'ed a few apps SBSettings, tether (didn't work), Rock app...
All fine until i decided to uninstall SBSettings (it had put some damn ad in my Settings panel) ... then my Settings screen went blank and my data stopped working completely... Oh and of course mms wasn't working but the above was a far bigger problem...
Restored phone... Back to normal but gonna wait before re-JB'ing... The one thing I wanted (free tether) didn't work and too buggy to deal with otherwise.... Too much risk for too little gain...
iPhone 4 with 4.0.1 jb with mms working but no FaceTime. Went to settings/phone and FaceTime was set to off. Turned it on and now I have FaceTime. No restore needed.
My jb seemed to go fine however.... Nothing in cydia wants to install or work.
@StayThirstyMyFriends...I went to Settings>Phone and don't even see an option for FaceTime...help.
happy with my 3.1.2 , all enabled tethering , multitasking, push, ... dont even think of 4.0
Facetime broke though...
jb worked fine. No facetime, did not have the option to turn it on either as Jordan said.
Seemed fine, but restoring anyway.
OMG FML I lost the 3G icon on my iPad,I'm now only getting edge, but I restored it and installed stock 3.2.1 and fixed everything
. Man that was close, I think I'll jailbreak after it's confirmed it has no problems whats o ever
To everyone that has an iPhone 4 and is worried about FaceTime, go to settings, Phone, and turn facetime back on... Same goes for MMS...turn it back on. For some reason the jailbreak turns some settings off.
iPad on 3.2.1 works fine if you jb after restore.
DOWNLOADING THIS PACKAGE WORKS FIXES MMS & FACETIME WITHOUT RESTORING OR ANYTHING iphonedelivery.advinux.com/cydia/
DOWNLOADING THIS PACKAGE FOR IPHONE4 4.0.1 WORKS..FIXES MMS & FACETIME WITHOUT RESTORING OR ANYTHING iphonedelivery.advinux.com/cydia/
Considering this is web-based, I wonder how many people will jailbreak the iphones in the apple/att stores. ahhhhh, now that's gonna be fun!!!
Fernie's right. That worked for me as well. iPhone 4 iOS 4.0.1 and MMS and FaceTime working perfectly after the iphonedelivery install.
I can't get it go do anything after I slide the slider....just a purple screen. I am sure the servers are busy though.
turning mms off and then back on will fix your mms problem
Fernie How do I install that package??
I ran jailbreakme.com and then shortly after installed RockApp and restored my applist via their backup system. But something I installed has me stuck in Safe Mode. Does anyone have a list of specific apps/extensions that could be attributed to this?
Anyone else noticing the weird discoloration at the top of the of the iPhone 4 boot screen? It boots up normally with black screen and Apple logo. Then just before the phone loads the top of my screen had 2 weird rainbow effect lines. One on the right and on the left right at the top. It’s not a big deal and I can live with it because I am ecstatic that we all have a jailbreak on the 4 thanks to the DevTeam. But just wondering if anyone else is noticing this.
jailbreak went fine, mms & facetime are working. although tethering and a few themes in winterboard are not.
@toNYc311 happened for me too.
and turning off extensions in RockApp seems to have saved me from Safe Mode. I want my extensions tho. I guess it's probably like last time and I have to wait for Saurik to update the Mobile Substrate.
I got netflix and free hulu thru playons mobile site. Its awesome, tired of waiting for netflix. No jailbreak needed
iphone 4,4.0 no problems,face time still there everything its fine perfect 100% thankssssssssssss comexxxxxxxxxxx u rockkkkkkkkk""""
Alright, just downloaded JB again. It is working perfectly well for me now. I downloaded MiWi and SBS Settings and their both working perfectly. Headed to the website to donate NOW!
Why does every claim about ignorance with you people always revolve around racism or nationalism?
What security hole does this exploit? No offense but I'd rather have a JB that can be done only through a PC and not through a gaping security hole ANY malicious hacker could use and apple should patch without fail.
