i can't wait until tomorrow when we find out there's 6 - 7 days left in December. Maybe I'll get a calendar for Christmas, then I won't have to check here to know what the date is. :rolleyes:
 
I have a jailbroken iPhone 4 that's still on 4.0.1. I want to eventually upgrade to iOS5 and have an unthethered jailbreak. I'm pretty new to this stuff so I'm not sure what my options are at this point. I think I already missed my chance at updating to 5.0. Any advice as to what I should do? Update now and lose jailbreak or?
 
It looks like around 60% of us may be wrong. :( It looks like a 2012 release now.
 
well it's 12/25 and we don't have a jailbreak....

Depends... you can update and do a tethered jailbreak right now, or you can wait until an untethered jailbreak is released for 5.0(.1). You could also just upgrade to stock 5.0.1 and have no jailbreak until one is released.
 
We as a community don't deserve a jb for Christmas. Full of whiny bickering children and lazy first time posters, we are.:)

My tethered 4 on iOS 5 is sweet anyways. Ask me, early adopters of the 4s expecting an immediate jailbreak getting what they deserve.. Nothing. Patience is not a river in Egypt or something like that!
 
If anyone is still holding onto hope from hackman, I'd love to bet you on it if you're interested.

Clearly a fake.

The whole point of christmas is to wake up to presents, if it had been ready, thats when a release would happen, but now its till after dinner...

The 4S was released on October 14th, so December 25th is hardly "expecting an immediate jailbreak"
 
This is EXACTLY like waiting for the flippin iphone -
Wait, wait, wait, and then only get a 4s -
Now we wait, wait, wait, for someone to JB the 4s so we can make it more functional -
 
Where did Apple, or anyone else, force you to wait then force you to buy a 4s?

Some people love to play the victim.
 
Even though Dev Team hasn't said "upgrade to 5.0.1" explicitly, its common sense that the new jailbreak will support it. Why would it support just 5.0 and not 5.0.1? Even pod2g said that it WILL SUPPORT 5.0.1.

Sheesh, people need to think for themselves for once.

For the unlock maybe?
 
Hackman is a fake! Thankfully pod2g is saving us soon :p

I said so like 2 weeks ago. Cant believe people really trusted this guy. Even if he had found an exploit, would he too had created a tool like redsnow on his OWN to jailbreak?? It was impossible right from the beginning.

He is just a kid that wanted to make a prank joke on christmas day. Just look how he insults everyone on his twitter.

Those who believed in him...
 
According to his Twitter, it will be released tonight. I will believe it when I see it!!!

Hackman.

ahh I figures :rolleyes: I hope he is right. Word is he is fake. I followed him for abet but I stopped. If Musclenerd says he's fake that's good enough for me.
 
It will be released in five minutes, no five more minutes, no five more, five more, five more, five more........
 
at least now that hackman has bene shown to be a fake, maybe people will just sit back, shut up and wait patiently for the hardworking guys to do what they do

yup that guy is a joke.... "check back after dinner", "family going home after dinner", "give me 15 minutes you will have an upload"

Let's see the next excuse!
