Jailbrake (A5) not out for Windows?

[Certinfy]

Make sure when you open iTunes your phone is set up properly - I.E. Should not show the Welcome page.

Once you're past the Welcome page, on the left hand side of iTunes right click your iPhone and press backup, make sure it fully backups.

Download the cinject_0.4.3 again, off chance you may have downloaded it corruptly.

Quit iTunes, unplug your iPhone, hold down the home button and power button until you see the apple logo, let go of it, when it's back on go into settings > General> Password Lock and make SURE you have no password lock on your phone.

Once you have done that, replug your iPhone and try again.

Summary,
Restore
Set up
Backup
Re-download Cinject
Quit iTunes
Unplug
Disable password lock
Restart iPhone
Plug in again
Try CMD all over again.

Tell me how that goes.

Thanks mate, will try this now.

You've been a massive help, much appreciated.

Thanks mate, will try this now.

No problem FWIW I'm a technical support advisor for AppleCare, both Mac and iOS, haha.

I'll be checking back every now and then.
I regret doing iCloud backup though, takes probably over an hour to re-download everything.

Highly recommend everyone backs up through iTunes before this and not iCloud because if you have to start again iCloud takes a very long time... lol.

I just jailbroke my 4s via CLI command prompt at work

You're actually not because Apple employees are not allowed to post on tech gossip forums. You're just a person who is helping on the forums, and that is good enough. No need to lie now

 

[ACardAttack]

Just type cinject.exe -w

I'm still getting errors and on step 7, should I be concerned with the
"recv: bad file descriptor
FATAL(_LINE_): Assection failed (1266): got ==sizeof(size)
1266

This happens at the end of step 7?

Doubt apple can dictate what tech support guys do on their personal time at home. They all probably sign some kind of NDA, but that's not really an issue if you're never given sensitive information

Ah ok, cool job.

Just followed what you said and it worked for me!!! So damn happy! Thanks!

 

[terraphantm]

I could agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Here are a few interesting points in realms other than online social networking:

Employees can have their own personal websites, but cannot discuss Apple in anyway on their website
Apple employees are told not to comment on Apple-related websites (that’s why we have email)
All employees have @apple.com email addresses, but are given an @me.com for personal use (applied more so pre-iCloud)
No speculating on rumors (as hard as that may be)
Apple has an HRCCC business strategy: Honesty, respect, confidentially, community, compliance
Apple’s business conduct policy and principles apply to employees, independent contractors, consultants, and others who do business with Apple.

I'm Obama, by the way. Reasoning? Because I said I am. By your logic, you are an idiot if you don't think I'm Obama.

Another win for me

You're naiive if you think everyone listens to every aspect of their corporation's policy. I personally know an Apple employee (share a class with him) that breaks some of those rules. The guy who posted didn't post any personally identifying information, so he's not really putting himself at risk

I'm gonna follow what he said and see if I have any luck

Can confirm this worked for me.

Here's a good set of instructions.

PREPERATION STEPS - Highly recommended you do these first.

Launch iTunes with iPhone/iPad plugged in and make sure it completes a backup of your device.
When the backup is 100% complete, quit iTunes, unplug your device, replug your device then follow the instructions below.

Doing that first will make for a much quicker process.


Completely new guide for noobs. I just found a way to do it on my iPad 2 [Wifi only] on iOS 5.0.1..
1) Download the file above in step 3, then extract the folder to your Downloads. (Start Menu, your name, then on the left, downloads.)
2) There should now be a folder called: "cinject_0.4.3"
3) Open up CMD and type this (Without "" quotes..): "cd downloads"
4) Then, do: "cd cinject_0.4.3"
5) After so, type this command into cmd.. "cinject.exe -i payloads/jailbreak.mobileconfig"
6) On your device, click on install, and when prompted to type in a password, just click next, with no password in.
7) After so, type this command: "cinject.exe -j payloads"
8) Just wait a little bit. ( Don't freak out, or jizz )
9) Now after a few minutes from step 8, now type this command: "execute the command: cinject.exe -w"
10) On your device, after doing step 9, toggle the "VPN" switch on in the settings, in about a few seconds after, it should say error.
11) Wait, then it should restart. Cydia is now installed, and your device is now free!

Worked on my iPad 2 5.0.1 fine.
Trying on my 5.0.1 iPhone 4S.

It's been at Creating backup for ages but I will assume it's all going well. Will update with what happens.

Thanks!

Worked on first try!

 

[Toby Ziegler]

Just jailbroke my 4S and iPad 2 in about five minutes each. I get such a warm fuzzy feeling seeing that Cydia icon on my homescreens.

Thanks to everyone who posted the CLI tips and thanks to the devs who made this happen!

 

[Certinfy]

I'm gonna follow what he said and see if I have any luck

If that doesn't work and you were having the same issue I did from reading another forum totally erase your iPhone and then jailbreak it and then restore it, seems to also work according to a few people.

Good luck mate.

gonna try now

 

[antisoma]

Anyone else getting the following in cydia?

The requested modifications cannot be applied due to required dependencies

Severs overloaded or do I need to rejailbreak?

 

[Goodeye]

It does not work whatsoever for me.

Every step works fine till toggling VPN as soon as I do that and it errors out, it NEVER restarts the iPhone.

 

[Dang1ing Nuts]

Every step works fine till toggling VPN as soon as I do that and it errors out, it NEVER restarts the iPhone.

This is happening to me to. When I toggled the VPN my phone wouldn't restart on its own.

I got a FATAL line in the CMD when it was Restoring after the backup was successful as well as nothing happening when I typed in the line "execute the command: cinject.exe -w. It said it's not an operable batch file.

Any help's appreciated or I'll just have to wait for an official Windows program to do it all for me.


I want to just try the process again but should I restore the phone first if I've already tried it once?

This is where I am at and I think something is wrong when getting that line

Tried it again quickly and again nothing.

Installing SBsettings added the required dependencies.

This happens at the end of step 7?

if you get that error, please make a back up of your phone. Go into settings and erase all content and data. Then try all the steps again. It will work fine.
