My jailbreak went well on the first try. Haven't been able to install MyWi or 3G Unrestricter yet though. I guess the servers are being hammered.
I wonder how long it will take before someone in this thread lectures us all against jailbreaking and/or tells us that it is only used to steal and pirate things or claim that it bricks your device. Because these people have done so for the last 12 jailbreaks.
Finally!
Very good news...been looking for a decent JB utility! Question folks, is there ANY way for APPLE to view OS updates and revisions for this? Point being, the ol' iPhone 4 I have is pretty sketchy (very warm back during calls, screen shuts off spontaneously during photo viewing...etc) and I'll be taking it to an Apple store for a refreshed model before the year ends...as long as I re-install the native OS before doing so, is there any way for them to view the prior JB and screw me out of the warranty? Im 99.9999999% sure the answer is no. But...
Have a great day friends

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this VERY VERY bad?
Aren't we one step away from someone else being able to Jailbreak your phone against your will just by tricking you with a fake phishing website?
Could they perhap JB your phone and start doing who-knows-what and stealing your info before you really know what's going on?
I support the right of others to Jailbreak their own phones, but this sounds like a totally different direction to me.

Hmmmmm
Downloaded really fast, says sit tight right now, about 90% done this is being done on the 3G model, seeing how you cant get a 4 for weeks around here.
Still tossing the idea around of the droid x, along with Verizon's network being more stable also.
Less than 4 minutes from start to finish and it add's Cyndia

windows mobile may not have the prettiest UI but at least it did not need to be hacked/jailbroken. you've paid for the hardware, you were able to install *whatever* you wished on YOUR device.
but of course, things are changing with windows phone 7. following apple's footstep, applications for wp7 will need to be "approved" by microsoft.
time to look in to Symbian/Linux/Android.
apple's are way too restrictive for my taste.

it's not safari, it's pdf component
Update - The vulnerability the jailbreak uses is not, as initially reported, in the Safari browser but in a component for displaying PDF files. The site uses a number of tricks to identify what device is requesting to be jailbroken and then loads an appropriate PDF file into it.

Hullo. So, I Jailbroke, decided I didn't actually want it, restored from my last backup.
Cydia is lingering, the little bastard.
Halp?

In these heady, cat-n-mouse days you shouldn't be so flip about a whole decimal point—people are likely to take you seriously
How can they do that through safari? Could other evil intentions be carried out in the same manner?
Restore as new phone. Parts of jailbroken apps gets stored in backups so this is why you should restore as new.
Heh...enjoy the 'Blockbuster Video' app that the carrier puts on your Android phone that you can't remove. That's what being "open" is all about, apparently.

Wow that's the easiest one yet.

[...] The jailbreak does not remove the SIM lock which is in place to prevent the use of SIM cards from any network operator. [...]

Tried it on both my iPad and my iPhone, but I had some really weird glitches.
The boot image was slightly nudged to the side, and some random pixels could be seen in the black area around the Apple logo.
Also it messed up my clock somehow, it never happened before... every time I booted Cydia my clock went back to midnight, and even if I fixed the time this afternoon it was reading 7AM instead of the current time which was 1PM.
Cydia also acts strange, package descriptions don't load properly and some packages like MobileSubstrate were missing from the list.
I don't know, maybe I'll give it another try when I have some free time on my hands

Do you realize this thread is about how to remove the restrictions from the iPhone?
Thank you very much. I did consider that, but the whole 'Your restore will be confirmed by Apple' made me retract like a terrified long distance internet surfer.
