Loved my experience of jailbreaking my IP4 while standing in line at WalMart. I went from being sooo bored to wanting to wait longer so i can check out Cydia again..
 
And I wish someone would explain to me what all the hubbub over "wiggle room" is. I don't get it. Update your phone to 5.0.1 NOW and stop worrying about it. Unless you need the unlock...then I can see it. But, if you don't need the unlock, then update your phone. Why are people cutting it close with updating to 5.0.1??? From the horses' mouth, we've been told.

Probably more important to a JB user on an Ipad 2 (4.3.3), not sure it's that important to 4s users (unlock issues aside).

I agree here. If you dont need to Unlock then update. I restored and setup as new last Friday in prep for the release. i'm about as ready as i can be.
 
I certainly did. I noticed that when I used a backup after the restore the battery life was bad. Restoring as "New" helped out a lot.

I found that my runaway battery drain was due to push email accounts that were restored from a backup. Manually deleting all the accounts on the iPhone and setting them up fresh cleared it up. The same thing happened a few years back with a restore after limerain, and that's how I learned that push email could get unwieldy and create a hot iPhone.

I understand what ur saying about using the computer...its not a necessity but it is cool....the wiggle room I'm talking about is after we jailbreak god forbid we need to restore because a app didn't agree with out phones we can if 5.1 isn't out yet. once 5.1 is out we have to be very careful what we install and what we try to do because if you need to restore your going to lose your jailbreak. I agree though if you haven't updated yet your playing with fire, if you want a JB of coarse

Ah-ha! Now I understand! I'd never even thought about that. Thanks! :D

In the android market there is a twitter app that allows you to be allirted when certain people tweet. I'm trying to find one like it in the app store. My other option make a alternate account just to fallow Dev members etc.

labman, what Android twitter app are you speaking of? I use Boxcar on my 4S to be alerted when certain people tweet, but I've yet to find a good twitter app for my GSII. I adore TweetBot, but unfortunately, they don't support Android. Any help would be appreciated!

Would it not be possible to restore to a 5.0.1 IPSW saved on your computers hardrive using Blobs saved with either Cydia or Tiny Umbrella?

Regarding the phone possibly crashing and stuff like that....does anyone know if you would be able to use ifile to possible SSH into the phone and maybe clear out what might be the issue? Is it possible to SSH if the phone is in a boot loop?

At the moment, it's not possible with 4S. You can save the blobs but you can't do anything with it, yet!
 
Donated to:
GeoHot 3gs
Both Jailbreak me times to comex

I know i've donated more than this.

Why not donate to all of them? I've payed well over $300 on apps through the course of 4 years.. why not donate 20-30$ I usually donate $10. For the ipad 2 jailbreak to comex IIRC i donated $20.00.

I could donate to all of them in lesser amounts, but each would get a share.. WHY NOT?

Why not fork something... If I fork a lot of money to apple, why not fork something to all of them or any of them. Even $1.00 is good donation. The jailbreak community is huge and if everyone would chip in $1.00, there would be a lot of money in the jailbreak development. Enough to gather more interest in coders WHICH WE NEED!

I am trying to stress this because every year the jailbreak is taking longer and longer. And it may not be the fact that it's getting harder. But the fact that talent is going away. If pod2g gets a good chunk, you bet he will work a little bit more for the iOS6. New bugs will come with new software, it's just the way it is. It's just up to them to find them.

I can't code a jailbreak that is why i donate towards the effort.

I have yet to donate to anyone of the current team as they have yet to release a jailbreak for the 4s. When they do... my $30 will be there.

Now, why am I getting slammed for promoting the donation portion?


So you attacked me for absolutely nothing at all.

We are talking about the current Jailbreak team .. Not teams/people in the past .

You said it yourself you did not donate to the current team so why would this team owe you anything ?

Who was attacking you ? You attacked me for my original post stating they were not taking donations and you said WRONG

People are going to donate if they feel they should which i have plenty of times but that is for another discussion.

I think you really should have thought about your original post before you jumped down my throat.

Technically, it is possible!

Why not just setup mobile alerts through twitter?
 
I have been calm up until yesterday when the whole which 5.01 thing came about plus only 3 hours sleep the night before sure did not help the matter. For a moment yesterday i felt like jbarresi19 does all the time ;).

The lack of sleep though was not due to the Jailbreak lol.

Hmm...I suppose that would work as well, huh?

The only real issue with doing it that way is that I tend to go back and forth between my 4S and GSII. On my 4S, I've got Boxcar set up to notify me when a certain person/people tweet, so if I did it that way, I would technically get double notifications. But, if I set it up through twitter, then I could remove that provision in Boxcar and problem solved.

Thanks man...that helps a lot!

Its sucks doesn't it? Im like that every day, including today which i feel will be the day. If not I hope someone updates us and tells us something and not just a tease with a video or picture

Let me look when I get home. I have a HP touchpad running android. It's at home I just found it the other day. To be honest I haven't tried it yet. I love Tweetbot too, I haven't really found one I like for android yet.

So you're saying you download something "dodgy" from Cydia, and it stops your phone from booting, so you have to restore?
There's no risk of loosing all the data, you can just restore? All you loose is the JB b/c you can't JB 5.1 when it's released?

Yes why i am asking if you you download something that messes with your phone and lets say you are in a boot loop normally you would just restore. But after 5.1 comes out you are not going to want to because you will lose your jailbreak. I wonder if you would be able to SSH into your phone and try removing whatever it was that was causing the problem? I just am not sure if you would be able to SSH into a phone that was not fully booting. Anyone know or have experience with this?
