Honestly I think the jb'ers are just enjoying messing with people now because of all the whining that's been going on, and I've given up trying to guess. I think the demand is beginning to outstrip their patience or something. That said, I need the next iPhone jb badly so I can wifi my iPad. Got stuck with unbreakable firmware out of the box. /twitter

Hey Gwynne

A friend of mine updated to 3.1.3 and lost his jailbreak and unlock. I simply ran it through redsnOw and pointed it to the 3.1.2 firmware and it jailbroke it (cant unlock though)

I appreciate the note, but after extensive lurking in the iPhone hacks sub forum, it sounds like that only works if, like your friend's, the phone had been jb'd before. Mine is virgin 3.1.3 from the store last month. I could get into the technical explanation (as I understand it) but don't want to hijack the thread too much. Thanks though! I'm just having to learn patience. Foreign concept for me.

To the poster unthread: geohot has twittered that he will not personally be releasing any end-user jb's anytime soon and refers people to comex. I'm paraphrasing but you can find more info in the iPhone hacks sub forum.

No, it works on any 3.1.3 phone. Mine had never been jailbroken before a couple weeks back. As stated by previous poster, you can jailbreak 3.1.3 but cant unlock to another carrier. There is a lot of confusion out there about this, but I can attest to the fact that a jailbreak of a 3.1.3 phone via redsn0w works.

Actually, it depends on the iPhone. For example, a 3G or 2G iPhone can do it no problem, but not a 3G

Maybe on 3G models, but not 3GS. I don't know, Ive spent the last six weeks reading the iPhone hacks sub forum here, and every single day the regulars there have to explain to people why 3GS on 3.1.3 can't be jb'd at all right now unless you jb'd before and backed up your shsh files. Period, end of story. I suppose they could all be lying, or wrong, but my faith tends to lie in crowd sourcing. That and the fact that no one has ever been able to prove their claims. If there was an easy fix for 3.1.3 3GS without shsh on sauriks, I feel like a lot more people would know about it, and at least one or two would take the time to shoot a quick video of them performing the operation on a stock phone from the store. Just to prove everyone wrong.

No, you read right. You cannot jailbreak currently. Hopefully by this Friday though. :)
 
Great..here comes the 1,000s of “HELP! I messed up on my jailbreak" Threads, or the “there's something wrong with my iPad because it's jailbroken" Threads.

Please let me be the first to ask, "How do you jailbreak an iphone/ipad?" :D
 
I really hope it comes out this Friday, my iPad has been rough for nearly the past month!
 
I will only buy an ipad once a jailbreak is released. I already have lots of apps waiting to be loaded onto it! ;)
 
Not quite but you will be able to run apps that Apple wouldn't approve of for distribution through their own App store.

Has Apple figured out how to prevent the cracked apps???? Most major apps in the itunes store were cracked and shoved on the usual torrent and dodgy sites!!! My nephew and his friends had a silly amount of them on their 3G iphones
 
Thank You!!!

you may regret that update on friday

Thanks for the tip I just booted all my systems and sure enough every one of them wanted to update and I said no :p

Three of mine are all at version 9.0.35. One of them is 9.1.0.79 whew.

Thanks Again.

Is it time for someone to create a sub forum for iPad hacks?

Might help others to know about the iTunes 9.1.1, 3.2 ECID SHSH dump etc...

I have only used blackra1n and have 2 iPhones jail broken working fine at 3.1.2. I just found out about the latest push doctor fix LOL. I have been pretty lucky up to this point not knowing anything but how to click make it rain and still need to get that SHSH for the iPhones worked out in the next release.
 
I can't wait. Although I prob won't jailbreak right away. I'll wait till developers update their aps for the iPad. Once I see something I want then I'll jailbreak.
