As it ws in news tht apple has realsed OS 5.1 fr developers, isn't it would be worth waiting for that, may be they can provide us a more stable version and untethred jailbreak.
-
Well, you know what, i tried to use the previous version of Redsn0w 0.9.9b7 instead of Redsn0w 0.9.9b8 - it works, i don't know why and how but it works.
-
They said I had an unrecognised build, even though I downloaded iOS 5 firmware file and followed the instructions after that. What should I do?
-
hi, i can not reboot because it always shows messege like that: unrecognized build.could you help me how to fix it?
-
As soon as you open cydia... Select extras and then select specify/specific firmware..... I forgot what it says........ Then select the 5.0 firmware on your comp. you should get no errors if you did that right. Do not click custom firmware.... Doing so gives you errors. Then select just boot and follow the directions.
-
every time it wont reboot. its stuck on a blank, black, lit up screen. what do i do?
-
as soon as you open redsn0w*
-
you have to go back into extras and select the 5.0 IPSW again before you do the just reboot option... inconvenient but it works
-
i did it everything whatever the instruction say but that white cedia icon doesn't go away,i try that just reboot but doesn't work somebody help methanks
-
Jaillbroke following steps... Now "Just Boot" process, but continuously reboots from Apple logo after Pineapple. Can't boot into Jailbreak WTF!!!??Is there no solution to this...?
-
My iPhone 3GS (old bootrom) will not go into DFU mode for JB and unlock with 6.15 BB. Any suggestions? I found a post on downgrading iTunes to 10.4, installing iOS 4.1, but I just wanted to know if anything else can be done. Thanks.
-
I read about that fix too, but I wasn't able to install anything. I needed to install SBSettings from Cydia, right? When I opened Cydia for that purpose, then it showed me the quarter screen right away. It was impossible to manage Cydia on it.
-
i did try jailbreak with redsn0w, the phone not responding at second boot...using iphone 3gs..OS 4.1 any suggestions ?
-
What if i want to go back to tue regular os that isn't jailbroken???
-
its happen with me too,i try that but didn't work
-
Perfect that fixed it...shud really put that into the description tho!
-
Follow step 4 before using the Just boot option to see if it resolves the issue.
-
does anyone else have any problems with the semi tether not rebooting?i have installed it all properly (i think) and tap the icon and get the message "status ok, reboot protected"try to reboot and it freezes on the spinner symbol
-
We've updated the post.
-
The jailbreak is untethered for iPhone 3GS with old bootrom. We'll update the post accordingly.
-
Try to follow the instructions again to see if it resolves the issue.
-
You can always go back to non-jailbroken state by restoring your iOS device and then restoring it from a backup.
-
You probably skipped Step 4. After launching Redsn0w remember to click on Extras, then click on Select IPSW to select the iOS 5 firmware file.
-
But remember your iOS device needs to be on iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1 (Settings->General->About->Version)
-
Follow the instructions carefully, it looks like you're not putting it in DFU mode properly.
-
Can someone put the link for Ipsw for iOS 5.0 I couldn't find it but I found it but I found 5.0.1
-
Sigh. I've jailbroken it to 5.0, I get the iTunes restore error, I click "Just boot" in redsn0w 9.99b8, the pineapple appears, then I'm back to an iTunes restore error. Clearly, the "Just boot" function doesn't work in the mode I'm in right now. I've tried jailbreaking it thrice now, and it all works out fine except for the problem of the iTunes restore error...Anyone got a recommendation as to what I should do now?
-
hi, i've downloaded the zip file for windows and i couldn't find any .ipsw files in addition that i my phone is already running on ios 5.0.1 and even by using the jailbreak button and entering the dfu mode nothing is done
-
so i've followed the directions closely multiple times, and each time after the jailbreak i get "exploit failed" on redsnow. any tips? it's a 3gs on 5.0.1 (had to upgrade because i had to take it to the apple store :( )
-
Redsn0w 0.9.9b8 currently does not recognize iOS 5.0.1 firmware file, so the trick here is to point it to iOS 5 firmware file. ????? WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO POINT IT TO IOS5???? AND INStep 4: After launching Redsn0w, click on Extras, then click on Select IPSW. Here select the iOS 5 firmware file (iPhone 4 users - please select iPhone3,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw and iPhone 3GS users - please select iPhone2,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw) that you had downloaded in step 2. I CANT FIND THE IOS FIRMWARE IN WHAT POPS UP IT JUST TAKES ME TO MY PUBLIC DOCUMENTS
