I've tried a bunch of times to restore the device to various earlier versions that to jailbreak with no success. I'm not mister JB Wiz or anything, but I believe if a DEVICE doesn't have an SHSH backed up, you're not going anywhere. It physically just won't let you install.

I found it all confusing myself but also came to that conclusion so bottom line is due to not backing up an SHSH on my previous iPad I have no recourse for setting it to earlier firmware. Tried running Redsn0w but no luck so far with that either. Cydia appears on my device now but unfortunately when I try to click on it the screen goes black then immediately back to the home screen.

For SHSH backups, it can be simplified like this: - Back up you SHSH blobs. (every time a new version of iOS is released) - Currently, for 5.x, SHSH blobs cannot be used. (a method to spoof/force install hasn't been developed like for 3.x and 4.x) - For iOS 3.x and iOS 4.x, SHSH blobs allowed you to install older versions of iOS any time you wanted*, even if Apple no longer approves them. - SHSH blobs are simply a "permission slip" that Apple provides your device, which gives iTunes permission to install iOS on it. They are unique to each device. (they only work on the device they are *originally* from) - You do not need to be running a particular version of iOS to back up the SHSH blob for it. For example, you could have 4.0.2 on your iPhone 4, never have upgraded past that, but still have queried Apple and backed up your 4.1, 4.2.1, and 4.3.3 SHSH blobs. Backups come from Apple, not your device**. Expanded info: The SHSH blob is a combination of your device's unique ID, plus a unique ID provided by Apple. Think of something like PGP. There is a secure key exchange. iTunes accepts this "blob" of data to securely communicate with your device and install software on it. A "replay attack" is/was used for iOS 3.x and 4.x to force-feed this saved information into iTunes, which makes it think Apple is giving the OK to make the secure connection to your device and install software. That method does not currently work on the basebands for the A5 devices or with iOS 5.x on any device. * For 3G iPad 2s, nothing is in place to allow an IPSW install with a non-Apple-signed baseband. Basically, when 5.0 was released, I think you could only install 4.3.x if the baseband part of the upgrade had not changed. The WiFi-only iPad 2 can freely move back and forth between 4.3.x and the current iOS (if you have your SHSH blobs backed up). With iPhone 4S, there isn't anything possible to allow any IPSW installs at all (even if the baseband is still being signed). ** iFaith lets you rip a partial SHSH blob from your device of the currently-installed firmware, even if Apple is no longer signing that version of iOS. Even though SHSH blobs from 5.x can't be used yet, this could change. So I would still back them up. Even though 3G iPad2s and 4S phones can't be downgraded at the moment, I would still back up your SHSH blobs.

Anyone run into an issue where iBooks immediately closes upon opening? I'm running firmware 4.3.5 using the Redsn0w jail break method. Currently I'm using the Kobo app as an alternative but am finding it sluggish and some of the ui elements annoying.

Does one of the later firmwares fix the massive drain on ipod 3GS w/ wireless? As soon as I turn wifi on, the whole thing lasts like an hour. If I turn wifi off, it lasts a more respectable few days.

I just took out my old iPod touch (MC008LL is the model #), which I believe is a 3rd Generation iPod Touch. It's got 32 gigs on it, and has a firmware of 3.1.2. It's jailbroken, using blackra1n.exe, which is apparently tethered because I always have to re-run blackrain if I let it run out of juice. What should I do with this thing? I certainly can't run an update on it, right? That would put me to a firmware that I probably couldn't jailbreak, right? I'd like to update it, but I'm not even sure what the furthest update it will accept. I very much doubt it goes up to 5.1 or whatever.

It can be tether JB'd Rick Rickshaw posted:You say this as if to imply 5.01 can't be jailbroken..? Nothing can be JB'd for the 4S yet, but 5.0.1 closed off at least one major security hole from 5.0 that JBers were looking at, and they recommended not upgrading to it for best chance of a 4S JB.

Does anyone know of a JB app that will override audio while playing a game? Example: I want to listen to the radio via Pocket Tunes, but if I open a game, it shuts down Pocket Tunes and the game background audio takes over. Edit: this doesn't happen with all games.

I actually have been doing just that, and I keep getting the same error (and I'm apparently not alone, most of the comments on a few sites are people having this problem.) Thought it would help to point it at a 5.0 IPSW, but it didn't. I still get the exact same error as I posted a few posts back. I'm running redsn0w 0.9.9b8 and my iPod Touch is 3rd Gen.  edit: I should clarify, though, that I can get it to point to the right IPSW, do the 'full jailbreak', and all kinds of code appears on my iPod screen, a pineapple with a progress bar, and so on. The end result is that I have a little white square icon that is labeled Cydia, which when activated makes a small white window start to open, and disappears.

Point it at the 5.0 IPSW a second time, shut the phone off, and choose 'Just Boot'. While the phone will technically boot the first time after jailbreaking, Cydia won't work, and being a tethered JB, subsequent reboots not using redsn0w will result in your phone demanding to be connected to iTunes. edit: There's a good chance I can't read and you're already doing what I'm saying, and if so I apologize.

Foo. No buying an iPad 2 until 5.0.whatever is jailbroken. In the meantime, I have an iPad 1 running a jailbroken 4.3.1, but the battery life seems to have pretty much gone to poo poo. I did this back in May or so, and I'm pretty sure I didn't save my SHSH. Is there any way to either "update" to 4.3.3 and jailbreak, or at least get to a "vanilla" jailbreak state with no apps or packages, but still jailbroken?

I bought an 8gb ipod touch. according to google, it's a 4th gen. Unfortunately, the previous owner saw fit to update it just before he gave it to me, and it's now running ios 5. It was never jailbroken before. Does having access to the computer that performed the update at all affect a possible downgrade, or will I have to do a tethered jailbreak / wait like everybody else?
