how to successfully release a jailbreak....

1. release JB
2. go to bed
3. FAIL

i see the 2 sites are both down now ffs.....not sure how many times I've had a truncated file :eek:
 
Awesome. Very impressed by JB'ing through safari on the phone itself.

Odd Glitch due to updating (I noticed within 5 Min) When starting up the phone, after about 5 seconds some pixels change color.


Using iPhone4.

from planet being's twitter, i believe:

The glitches on the boot screen are normal. You're looking at the kernel shellcode jailbreakme uses (temporarily stored on the framebuffer).
 
Just JB'd my IP4, installed MyWi ($9.9 upgrade offer for 3.xx users...Nice !).

Just one niggling problem re theme, or part themes (battery icons, change clock icon etc).

Installed same 4 theme parts that I used to use on my 3GS (which worked perfectly), a battery icon, a compass icon, a 3G symbol and a clock icon.

All enabled in Winterboard, but none of them appear to actaully show on the phone (yes, rebooted).

They are quite old icon replacements, and are all v1.0. Are they simply maybe not compatible with OS4? or is there something else I should be doing?

Apart from that, very, very easy JB, and kept everything intact.

Thanks.
 
Warning to iPhone 4 (4.0.1) users.

This jailbreak might either reduce your signal to 1 bar or No signal.

Or "brick" your phone.

Just happened on my iPhone 4
 
Like some of you, ive had my iphone4 for a month now, only using it with wifim filled up with appsm, pics, movies and stuff.

What do you recommend, first upgrade from 4.0 to 4.01 with itunes, then do a backup, and then jailbreak me over safari?
After jb, can i just reinstall the org backup to get all the apps, pics and stuff back as it was, or does it erase and make it impossible to reinsert?
 
I have 3Gs new bootrom with FW 3.1.3 Spirit Jailbroken.
What should I do to upgrade the FW to 4.0.1 and use JailbreakMe?
PS: I have iTunes 9.1 too.
 
Wow, a couple of days ago I was considering jailbreaking the dodgy way. This just made my day waaaaaay more interesting.

Yeah, I'm having a **** summer.

Is it true that Skype no longer works in background/MMS doesn't work either?

I've also been hoping to see an answer to this.

This will my first time moving to a totally new firmware AND a new jailbreak and I'm not sure what the 'best practices' are.

Surely restore, upgrade to 4.0.1, then jailbreak via browser? Or have I misunderstood.

Plug in iTunes, backup/sync your iPhone if you feel necessary. Update to 4.0.1, then run jailbreakbe.
 
Thanks for the jailbreak! Works great on my iPhone 4 running 4.0.1. First thing I did was put custom SMS sounds.
Little concerned Safari has such a bad exploit though.....
 
SMS / MMS is a no go for me, so I did a restore to go back to pre-jailbreak.
Jailbreak installation was flawless for me, and I was able to change my lockscreen, but with no SMS / MMS, I felt disconnected.

I'll jailbreak again when the bug(s) is fixed.
