General Can I Jailbreak My iOS Device?

I don't think you can unlock without a jailbreak, unless you buy the phone unlocked. I know ultrasn0w relies on jailbreaking, and I'm pretty sure Gevey does too.

What do you mean? I'm guessing I can unlock w/ a JB correct? That's the main thing I'd want to do.

There's no guarantee on an unlock, but it seems that you will need to preserve your baseband from 5.0.0 to unlock should one exist, yet upgrade to 5.0.1 to jailbreak, so plan very carefully!
 
Well, I have updated 4 devices to 5.01 all from 4.2.1 including two iPads and an iPhone 4 and a touch 4.

Most have been error free.

A couple of issues.

The iPhone is having activation issues.

We don't use it as an iPhone...just a PDA, although it has one of the iPads 3G sims in it. But the activation is while at home on wifi.


The other issues is blank folders even though there are apps in there.

Any ideas?

This is a jailbreak thread, not really informative for geared towards unlocking or unofficial activation. You're probably better off googling your problem or posting your own thread.

Unless it is an old bootrom 3GS, it is a tethered jailbreak
Use Redsn0w to Just boot tethered
 
UPDATED

Removed support for iOS 4. iOS 6 betas are about to roll out and it's safe to say almost all users have upgraded to iOS 5. After the GM of iOS 6 is rolled out, support for the 3GS will be dropped too.

Reflected changes for 5.1.1 statuses. This will be updated again in a few days when Absinthe 2.0, which will support an untethered jailbreak for all current Apple iDevices is released.

Thanks for the thread!

I used to be up to date with jailbreaks but after moving away from news the past few months, it's refreshing to see that I can come back and see what jailbreaks are available.

Back up your ipad, DFU Restore it to 5.1.1, and try again.

Thanks, I tried but the mods felt otherwise, despite the constant requests and liking of the thread.:)
 
Took the plunge...

I did jailbreak my iPhone 4s and am happy about it. Are there other websites/applications besides Cydia where I can search for different apps?

Thank you
:)
