I'm waiting a week before I install it.

Usually, the first release is buggy. Then they release a couple patches.

THEN it's nice and stable.


As long as you stay on 5.0.1 there's no need to rush to install the jailbreak.

Best to just wait till it hits the masses and has a couple days to soak in.

I always view the initial release of a Jailbreak as an unofficial "Public Beta".

i think the extensive testing right now though is due to the fact that the team knows there IS no restoring back with tinyumbrellas. so, they really are making sure it works well this time.

Are you me? Haha... I do the same thing, give it a few days to see how well it works with everyone else and to see if there will be patches before I take the plunge myself. Although, the times that I have jailbroken right away everything has gone fine as well. I'll probably wait at least a day or two with this one for the 4S.

I mean sure. Often a new update is released shortly after, but in my experience, no initial version has been "so bad" that it forced my phone to become inoperable. I just would install the fixes via cydia or redsn0w. Really easy.

Yeah i agree, ive never had an issue with any inital release of a jailbreak. I mean im sure some updates made it smoother but never did the inital make my phone need a restore ever.
 
5 icon dock, gridlock, status notifier and iBlacklist are an immediate need.
 
Beaver???

Whatever happened to eager Beaver...... He was blabbing about getting the jailbreak early and posting some sort of picture/video proof......


I knew he was making it up but I at least thought he would photshop an image for fun's sake :cool:

I def agree, however I wouldn't be surprised if they had some way to roll back. Given how much time they have actually had the JB, I'm thinking that they are going to release something unexpected with this. Idk what, but something. Well I for one, knew nothing about the blackout until I read it on here. I'm guessing today is just another day it WON'T go live. I've continued to be an optimist about this, however today I'm just being a realist about it. I've ended probably 20 post like this, here's to hoping.

Continue to be an optimist with me!!!! Today is the day!!!

Ok @jbarressi19, not only is today the day. This is the hour.

Eager Beaver flew south for the winter i guess is the nice way of putting it.

Anyone that believed he of all people had early access to a Jailbreak should not be allowed to use a phone or the internet .

I was at least hoping for a video similar to the one the person put up for ****rain last year. At least it was somewhat entertaining!

He was temporarily banned for trolling. I'm sure you will find this as no surprise. :rolleyes:

He was just joking around and I'm sure most people saw that. Why'd he get banned again? False advertising?

(jokingly) I said EARGER BEAVER! thank you so much for the jailbreak and then he posted like your a dipstick and whatever and that was the last time I heard of him haha

I honestly think some people believed he did have access to it because they are so desperate to Jailbreak they will cling on to any hope they can find.

As for why he got banned probably for claiming he had something he did not and just generally being a trouble maker etc.

His posts never bothered me because every forum i visit has plenty of Eager Beavers and you just get used to it :).
 
lol eager beaver banned

I hope your right I keep having fantasy dreams about my iPhone and loving it and o_0. But in all honesty I have been having dreams where pod2g says ITs LIVE! and then I wake up and check my computer with nothing their :( Because if I remember right the A4 Jailbreak was in the wee ours in the morning at my time
 
I think everyone knew he was joking. Once I got banned for posting a ugly photoshopped iPhone lol.

Looks like @pimskeks is writing the JB app an it seems by his tweets that he doesn't know about a JB for 5.0 4S. And it's not done yet.

I thought this was a group effort both dev and chronic? So Why would one guy be working on it? J/W

Well judging by the fact that things are updated in Cydia, the iPad 2 is running a public version of cydia it seems, and everything points to it being ready, We are about as close as it gets without it actually being released.

Careful what you say or you might give jbarresi19 another panic attack .


Maybe by Sunday we will have the Jailbreak cause it seems everyday someone tweets something new like they just started working on such and such lol.
 
can you imagine the server hit that is going to take place once it is live? Man, i'm constantly checking Tweetbot and Reeder. I have Pod2g's and the iPhone Dev Team's blog both going to Reeder as RSS feeds.
