One Click Jailbreaks for iPhone and iPod Touch

thats what its supposed to do. When you go to the link it will "crash" your safari, DONT TOUCH IT, and it should go to sleep. When you wake it up you'll have the installer app. Read the TUAW page and it explains everything.

I did read the TUAW page:

The iPhone isn't supposed to go to "sleep" -- it is supposed to restart, which isn't happening. (For that matter, autosleeping and waking up doesn't do anything, either.) I let it sit for 8 hours with no change.

FWIW, this was an AT&T-locked iPhone that I jailbroke in 1.0.2, restored to 1.1.1, reinstalled ringtones via iToner 1.0.4 and then tried the web-based jailbreak.
 
Okay, I haven't done anything to my iPhone until now, but I couldn't resist two things:

1. one-click jailbreaking.
2. one-click fix for the TIFF exploit.

Let's hear Apple tell me my warranty is voided because I decided to fix a serious security flaw that they have yet to address. The day that happens is the day I stop buying Apple products. I see this development as a serious one for Apple-- until now, they've been able to play the "we know better" card with users. Now, what are they going to say if someone says they jailbreaked the phone to fix an obvious security issue?

Also, for those applications that are opening and closing immediately, you need to restart and/or install the BSD subsystem, then SSH. Also, as pointed out by a poster on Engadget, it might be wise to install the terminal app, and reset your password with the "passwd" command.

There aren't that many useful apps, but it's worth it for Erica Sadun's voice recorder alone.
 
YouTube.........

how do you fix YouTube....? i see in the video demo that Youtube does not work automatically. does anyone know how to fix this part once you've used the jailbreakme method...? any help appreciated.
 
kudos devs

First "hack" I've allowed to run on my iPhone, very easy once it actually ran. I probably went to the site 10 times before I realized that it was supposed to shut down Safari. It was a bit unstable for a while until I had turned the phone off and on a couple times. Now, everything(including youtube) seems to work as usual, I'm an AT&T customer, so maybe that has something to do with it.

The next time you go to the site after installing, you will just see a little ? where the broken TIFF image is since the exploit has been fixed.

The first app I installed was PONG, I found that it would just quit out immediately so I left it at that for a while, uninstalled iPong and did a bit more reading. I noticed everyone was recommending installing BSD Subsystem, so I installed that and once I did, PONG worked, so there must be some files that pong uses but doesn't install through Installer.app. I also noticed that you can't uninstall BSD subsystem, this might be because Pong relies on it, or it just might not be an option for this package because the only option I see is to Reinstall it.

The next thing I installed was Community Sources, which is a library of software not created by the Installer.app people. You get a little warning about not installing software from people you don't trust...a good recommendation.

Anyhow, it seems stable now and looks like there's some "cute" apps, but nothing I would really NEED. I know there was a thread a while ago that talked about the apps that were keeping people from upgrading to 1.1.1 before it was hacked so I'll have to dig that up and try some of those out. I do wish Navizon was free/released by apple and integrated into Maps.app.

Also, I'm wondering what Apple could do if you said a friend sent me a link and I clicked it on my iPhone, next thing I knew I had another icon on my homescreen. Certainly someone could have constructed a much less friendly website that just directed straight to the .tif image without the nice menu. Since Apple has known about this flaw for a while and not plugged it up, it seems like it would be their fault that a website is able to do this.
 
Has anyone installed this on one of Apple's iPhones that are on display in the retail stores?

Update: AppSnapp refused to work over my home WiFi connection (Airport Extreme 802.11n, Time Warner Biz Class 5u/2d, hardware firewall), but it works fine over the WiFi in my office at Duke. (It could be the connection, the firewall or just timing.)

The incorrect behavior: Safari would immediately crash, returning me to a stock home screen; no restart, no "slide to unlock" no matter how long I left it alone.

Correct behavior: Safari crashes, home screen is somewhat glitchy to return, long lag, then "slide to unlock" (in my case, enter the PIN to unlock the phone). AppTapp "Installer" was in the home screen, and the WiFi store and Installer are now on the left. Installer wanted to update its version, which crashed the phone on the "Please restart Installer" dialog.

Is Voice recorder and iTunes emailer both available on the 1.1.1 version?
Click to expand...

I see both VoiceNotes and SendSong on the Install list. Just installed SendSong(there's a version for 1.1.1 and another for 1.0.2), Seems to work pretty well. There's an option to Sent to Ringtones as well, but I haven't tried that yet.
 
Hey All,
Im in Canada and bought a already unlocked phone to work with rogers.

So, if I have this correct, I need to restore to original firmware, update to 1.1.1 and then install this jailbreak hack?

My Rogers sim card will work again after that process?
 
I got mine to work finally, it doesn't seem to work on edge at all. It did lockup when it was trying to reboot. I did a manual reboot and I have the app installer.
 
Hmmm. Advice?

In the 2 weeks since I unlocked my iphone with anysim and INdependence a lot seems to have happened. Correct me if I'm wrong but basically, this jailbreakme.com site will only let you install 3rd party apps right? If you upgrade via itunes to 1.1.1, you'd still need to use some kind of unlock right? Can 1.0.2 be reverted-- anyone experience problems doing this? Since I've already done the 1.0.2 unlock, what is the best thing to do? Also, my MAPS program seems to have gotten messed up-- this is why I want to restore it and then proceed!
 
Question about Summerboard scrolling

Does Summerboard still scroll sideways (as it does with other 1.1.1 hacks),
or vertical, as in 1.0.2? I much prefer vertical, and am therefore still on 1.0.2.

Yeah, summerboard still scrolls sideways (in pages). I liked the old way better too. Plus currently, you can't rearrange icons on the 2nd page via rSBT.

and?
It's obviously trivial to do this, it's what you do next that would be interesting. I'd imagine that too much of this could result in Apple fixing this hole faster, or possibly blocking access to that website in it's stores(but then there's always EDGE).

What would happen if you(or the next person) asked an Apple Genius why this iPhone had more buttons than the others and how can I get those on mine since it's on the official display model? If you just did the hack and ran away, that's not too interesting...anyone can visit a website.
 
Finally bit the 1.1.1 bullet

Well, I got impatient and went ahead and restored the iphone, and updated to 1.1.1.
Spent about an hour re-installing all my favorite stuff, and then customizing...
The sideways scrolling isn't as bad as I expected - perhaps I'll get used to it.
The phone is definitely "snappier" (including Safari, of course).;)

I got the tethering thing going, and am in fact posting this with the Macbook
tethered to the iPhone...So far so good!

Where did you find the instructions for tethering? :) Thanks!!

Its still sideways. I agree that it is much easier to go vertical.


I used this to jailbreak my iPhone last night and everything was working great until I got a phone call. I couldn't hear the person on the other line and (as I later found out) they couldn't hear me. Has anyone else had this issue? I am probably going to restore and try the jailbreak again but if this happens again I might just have to stick with a locked phone. Too bad. :(

EDIT: my phone has regained its funcionality, but I can still tell the difference from my un-hacked iphone. maybe I'm just paranoid. . .
 
After waiting this long to hack my iPhone and reading about all the cool native apps, I have got to say that I have had a hacked iPhone for a couple days now and looking through the installer.app list I haven't found anything really worthwhile. Am I missing something?

Here you go...ignore the original post, and go directly to post #8 (The General).

Yes, you are missing all kinds of cool stuff (a few of my favorites):

Free instant messaging on AIM and .Mac
Using the iPhone to tether to laptop
Voice recorder (unlimited duration)
Customize (rearrange icon order, add custom springboard, ect, ect, ect)...

There are tons of games and apps you can mess with - how on Earth could you not find any of this worthwhile?

I didn't upgrade from 1.02 until today - when I was confident I wouldn't lose anything.

Well, not really. I doubt the staff cares to much, as every night after the store closes, a manual restore is done for each phone in the store.
