iPhone Dev Team Warn Jailbreakers to Avoid Updating to iOS 5.1
With less than 30 minutes to go for Apple's iPad 3 event, iPhone Dev team has just warned jailbreakers to avoid updating their iOS devices to iOS 5.1, which is likely to released this week.
iPhone Dev team have provided the following details on their blog in a post titled "March Mayhem":
As the whole tech world waits for today’s Apple Event, it seems like a good time to remind both veteran and amateur jailbreakers about the fundamental rule of jailbreaking: Avoid firmware updates!

If only everyone listen, theres always someone update, loose jb and cried about it.
-
everytime!
-
yes sir
-
Yup. People don't do their research and just update. Than they get stuck, and want the jailbreak right away.lol
-
Well they always say that.
-
There's always those that will be forced to update to 5.1:- Last my iPad2 crashed and i was forced to install 5.01 again to get it working againif it ever happens again, i will be forced to update to 5.1Anyway, but like said, Never update your iOS device if you really want it jailbroken.

I thought you could still restore with shift+restore using a 5.0.1 IPSW. When did that change?If you can still shift+restore, then saying that we can't restore back to 5.0.1 is hugely false.
-
looks like 5.1 has already been made available........
-
i think its perculiar to iPhone 4S and iPad 2 due to their hardware config all other devices would be able to use the shift + restore method.

i think its peculiar to iPhone 4S and iPad 2 due to their hardware config all other devices would be able to use the shift + restore method.

:S But It seems that I will become extremely necessary to use the new feature forIphotoGarageBandImovie :(

my unlocked 3gs (05.14.03BB) was getting crazy today and i decided it restore with the custom firmware 5.0.1 that i created with sn0wbreze when i first updated to 5.0.1 and at the verifying software itunes gives me and error (6). now my phone is stuck at the ubs and itunes screen. any help???
-
If i did the update to 5.1 would I lose any apps that I downloaded using ****? Or would I only use the tweaks I downloaded from cydia?
-
I have a question,If i buy a 4's today, Will it be updated automatically when connected to iTunes OR Will it stay on 5.0.1 ? If its on 5.0.1 ?
-
The iphones 4's will be at the old firmware (5.0.1) for the next couple days, but time is running short. The longer you wait, the more iphones will be sold and the new ones will come in and replace the old ones with the new Firmware 5.1.When connecting to Itunes, your iphone will never automatically update, unless you click OK for it to do so. You have to approve the update. It will not just do it with out you authorization.

I got a new 4s and it has 5.0.1, but after activating, i was changing a couple of settings and when i went to software update, it was automatically downloading, so i had to turn off wifi, and now it is paused. what can i do now?

I have purchased a new ipad2.3Gwifi with OS 5.0.1 on 14th March. The seller didi jailbreak for me. The same day evening while I was using the ipad it asked me to update to OS 5.1. Iwent to the shop and asked them if its Ok to update. One guy over there pressed the update and it updated. I was holding the breath. Finaly my ipad is working perfect upto now.

Whats the best jailbreak for the 4s? Ive found alot of pay sites on google, havent found much on forums or anything. Seems like the 4s is more security encrypted or.. Just to new? Can someone shoot me an email and point me in the right direction please

Check out this webpage, which has links to our step by step guides to jailbreak your iPhone 4S:http://www.iphonehacks.com/jailbreakAs a rule, the jailbreak tools are always free so you should avoid pay sites.
-
The article says that updating would remove jailbreak. can you tell me what losing the jailbreak would do to the operation of the phone as i dont actually know what jailbreaking means.sorry this is my first iphone so im not very tech savvy.
-
Does this also mean upgrading an iphone from ios 4.x to 5.0.1 is no longer possible either? (i have an iphone 4 w/ios 4.1)
-
Unfortunately your right, no longer possible can only update to latest ios which is 5.1.0
-
will updating on the iphone itself change my baseband?
