So, I have an iPhone 4 with straight talk and need a jailbreak to get cellular data an mms to work. I had my 5.1.1 Jailbroken just fine and everything worked great. Then, 6.0 came out, so I waited for Redsn0w's tethered release. I got it to work, installed Cydia and tetherme, changed the network settings and life was great. I reinstalled some themes and the "Fake Carrier" app, however they didn't work. I figured it was just compatibility issues, so I paid no mind to it. This morning I realized that I couldn't get back in to my netwrok settings. I wen't back in to Redsn0w and did the "Just Boot". Worked fine, jet no change. When I do an untethered reboot, cydia is still installed and data and mms work as well. How is this possible if the phone isn't in "jaiblreak" mode? Other than having cydia, none of the jailbreak features actually work....
Got a tip for us?

Your Cydia hacks/apps do not disappear, they are just disabled along with MobileSafari and maybe a couple of others.
Before trying any Cydia hacks on iOS6, you need to consult a current compatibility list

That makes sense to me. Only thing that doesn't is that my Data and MMS still work. And TetherMe worked once. It's just odd....
Thanks tho!
EDIT: According to the list FakeCarrier, WinterBoard and TetherMe should work. However, they don't lol
I guess I'll just redo the jailbreak...

I have an iPhone4 with tethered jailbreak on iOS6.
I am using TetherMe to open APN settings for Straight Talk.
It works just fine for me.
As far as the WB issue, perhaps the theme you are trying to use is not updated for iOS6. Most themes have to be updated for every new firmware level.
As for the other hack, I use Zeppelin on iOS5, it is not even on the iOS6 list.

Well, the only thing I can think of is that something went wrong with the jailbreak. So I'm restoring / re-jailbreaking now. Clean start. Just thought it was odd that everything worked once and now nothing. Didn't reboot the phone or anything either. Oh well...
Rebooting is fine, as long as you use Redsn0w to select the IPSW, then use Redsn0w again for pwnedDFU and tethered reboot.
I have rebooted mine multiple times (as above) without any glitches.

Great...Not sure what's wrong now, but the JB went smooth (i think) and I'm now trying to install Cydia but when type "wget -q -O /tmp/cyinstall.sh http://downloads.kr1sis.net/cyinstall.sh chmod 755 /tmp/cyinstall.sh /tmp/cyinstall.sh" nothing happens. Only goes back to the iphone root... If it's not one thing, it's the other...FML
EDIT: Apparently the website I used had the wrong terminal code.... works now...ugh...

You have used wrong procedure for tethered jailbreak.
Restore the phone, use this since it is accurate

Well, TetherMe and FakeCarrier work now. So far so good. Haven't tried winterboard yet, as it's not that vital at the moment.
However, I do have a question. You mentioned that when rebooting I should use pwndDFU for tethered reboot. From what I read I thought I could do the "Just Boot" option for that. I thought pwnDFU was for restoring the phone...?
Could you explain that please? Thanks for the help btw!

A tethered boot is done using pwnedDFU via Redsnow.
Watch Redsn0w window, you will see Limera1n being applied.
But yes, you begin using the Just boot button in Redsn0w

That confuses me though because it states "Enter Pwned DFU mode in preparation for restoring to a custom IPSW via iTunes.". Which to me means rolling back the iOS version, not booting the device up.
After installing Winterboard, the phone is telling me to reboot. Once I do this though, how do I bring it back in the Jailbreak mode?

If the just boot didn't get you booted jailbroken, then you wern't jailbroken in the first place.
Ok, used the "Just Boot" option and I'm no longer Jailbroken.
I know for a fact I was jailbroken before because TetherMe, FakeCarrier and Winterboard worked. I had my theme installed and everything. But instead of just leaving it alone, I tried to reboot (like an idiot) and now my Jailbreak is no longer active. Gonna try it again, but I have this feeling it's not going to work...
EDIT:
It seems the "Just Boot" only works once, immediately after the JailBreak...
Also, when I use the "Just boot" option, i get the pineapple logo, so SOMETHING is working, however, none of my tweaks/hacks are working once the phone boots all the way. Am I skipping a step? I put the phone in to DFU Mode, Select the IPSW, click "Just Boot" and then wait....

Ok...what had happened was....
Apparently springboard crashed. I had a little notification on the top of the screen telling me I was in safe mode and needed to restart. Once I did that, everything was back to normal.
However, when I had this problem yesterday and this morning, I did not have that message, or I was extremely blind.
Deep down I want to know why this wasn't as easy earlier, but right now I'm just happy it's working.
Thanks again for the help!!
