Does the thread starter here have a jailbreak they are ready to share yet?
I have not had an iphone before so never jailbroken one - but work in a technical (IT) area, so thinking about having a go. My old handset has just died and i want to get an iphone 4, and where i live i am seeing a lot of people selling iphone 4s with 5.1 cheap because they need jailbreaking. Im thinking once a jailbreak is easy to get those prices wont be so cheap for the iph 4 - so wondering if it is worth getting one now, in anticipation of a not very long wait...bu not long I am hoping that it will be days - tops weeks
So wondering if someone can tell me roughly how long it is likely to be for a reliable jailbreak for this ios to be available - I am assuming due to the fact that so many people have managed to jail break earlier iphones (people who are not that technically capable) that the actual process is pretty straight forward?
How easy is it to restore,reset an iphone if you inadvertantly brick it during the process?
If I buy one, it will be unusable until I jailbreak it - so assuming I can reset and start all over, I am happy to try any jailbreaks for 5.1 that others (who have a working 5.0.1 or whatever) dont want to take a risk with, so feel free to send me any links?
But initially I would like to know realistically - if i cant get something going as a guyineapig for an early release, how long would I probabaly have to wait till there is a proven jailbreak?
My phone died today, so I need to get something else asap - but if it will save me a few hundred and wont be too long for the jailbreak, or if there is a reasonable chance I can jailbreak it now if I am prepared to spend a few hours on it, then I will get a locked 5.1
If it is relevant I am in NZ, and will be connecting it to telecom xt nz, wcdma and umts network. main functionality I will use is phone (text, voice), data (web browsing, and downloading apps - not downloading any itunes stuff (as err i find my music and so on elsewhere at a much better err price
It wont be a lot of use to me till I can connect via 3g so how long - worst case scenario could i expect i may need to wait?
Also is there anything else I need to be aware of (ie different hardware versions of iph 4 etc?)
cheers
thanks
