Jailbroke mine running 4.0 about 20 minutes ago. As long as you don't upgrade to 4.0.2, you're fine.

Alright, I thought so. I JB'ed mine a few weeks ago, ut my friend is thinking about doing his and I just wanted to make sure about the firmware stuff. Thanks. :)
 
hey guys, im new here, been searching this forum all day, i bought a second hand iphone 3GS today and the model still says MC at the beginning.

When i got the phone it was on 4.0.2 so i downgraded to 4.0.1 (8A306) to try and jailbreak

cant find any tutorials that really help to be honest, ive also got a 3G witch i have now giving to my gf, i jailbroken and unlocked that last night using redsn0w, (really easy)

but just cant seem to get this one sorted :(

i keep trying http://www.jailbreakme.com but i keep getting the Oops... File received was invalid, do you think this is my iphone or the site? because it does say something on his twitter page that it will be fixed by the end of the day?

really worrying me to be honest, as if i cant get this jail broken i cant get it unlocked so its ALOT of money wasted :(

You just kept hitting "retry" over and over?
 
well not every second, was hitting retry every 5-10mins or so, and it finnally worked, got it all up and running now, updated cydia and installus finally installed
 
I have been trying for a couple of hours with no luck. I wish they had a actual mirror.
 
**UPDATE, I kept hitting Retry and it finally went through! "Cydia is now on your homescreen"

:)

is this working for anyone yet?

I keep getting the same error since the morning

i was having the same problem, you just need to be patient and it should work :)

Do you just keep hitting Retry? And at what time intervals? Hopefully it will be ready to go tonight.

Jailbreak me "Oops File received was invalid "

Hi guys,

I had a jailbroken iphone 3gs on 4.0.1 that my gf accidently upgraded to 4.0.2

I have since managed to downgrade it back to 4.0.1 from itunes but Jailbreak me keeps returning the error message OOPS FILE RECEIVED WAS INVALID.

I have tried retry so many times that I cant keep the count now.

Please someone help me. I need the jailbreak urgently for Iblacklist.

Any information I shall be very greatful.

Have tried to Jailbreak between 1:00am to 1:30am on 17th August.

Thanks in advance guys.
 
I did the opposite.I turned WIFI on and joined my home network and it instantly worked :S

So it appears that the website is working differently for everyone. I think you just have to catch it at the right time. I have been patiently hitting "retry" all flipping night and still no luck. I do find myself hitting retry a little harder than I did when I started though.

Try hitting retry 5 times in a row, wait about 20 seconds, and then 5 again... it will go eventually.
