I'm also wondering how to save the 5.0.1 SHSH/Apticket, etc.

Has anybody used iFaith to downgrade from 5.0.1 to 5.0 and have it work?

Is there a better way to protect the 5.0.1 JB so I can always downgrade on my 4S?

I'm pretty sure downgrading on 5.0+ can't be done now, IE 5.0.1 to 5.0 or soon, 5.1 to 5.0.1. The Dev team said to save SHSHs via TU anyways in case they get it to work in the future.

Drat. I just noticed that iFaith doesn't work for A5 devices.

Hopefully the dev team figures out a way to downgrade using the SHSH blobs. I'm going to donate because these guys really do work hard at this stuff...

It's up it's just getting hammered.

In other news, that was extremely painless. Bite SMS here I come! :dance:

EDIT: Fair warning the final step on the jailbreak requires an injection from their website (I think) and when you click on the icon you might get a database error (because the site is getting hammered) but keep trying.

Yeah, I can access the site again, but it's slow. Still waiting on the Windows version to release, though.

edit: Ok, now the site really is down. I've been getting 'Database Error' for the last 45min.

It's kind of stupid for them to be using PayPal to be honest, everybody knows how much they love to shut accounts down and it's only a matter of time before they decide it's 'hacking / criminal activities / international terrorism' and shutter the account.

definitely. presumably they're only comfortable with it because saurik already receives cydia app purchases through that paypal account.

Feenix posted:

Yes, it's kind of tricky. In the Quick Reply settings, I have for Alert Style to "Use Apple Settings" and for In Notification Center to "Open Quick Reply", then further down under Lock Screen I have "Auto Show Quick Reply" turned off.

You'll get the text message and it'll look like default for iOS 5, but when you swipe to open, the Quick Reply box will show up instead. Also, if you put the notification center down and tap the text message, that will open Quick Reply.

Side note: if you go into "more stuff" you can change the icon to the default messages icon and hide the messages app completely.

Go to settings after running Absinthe
Turn on VPN

Wait for Reboot

I do have about a dozen VPN profiles. It was just posted that perhaps I need to delete all of those first.

This jailbreak is different from the last one. You need to download a Mac OS app, connect your device to your Mac and run the app.

OK, it worked after deleting all my VPN accounts. Once Absinthe was the only VPN account, it then rebooted and installed Cydia.

Yay! Cydia on my 4S!! ^_________^

Oh this poo poo is so sweet. I joined the 4S to my Cydia account and loaded Barrel, MyWi, 3G Unrestrictor, Cyntact, etc.

Wait a minute, MyWi on a friend's iPhone 4 uses WPA2. MyWi on both my 3GS and 4S only have WEP. What's up with that?

Do you have the latest version from the official repository? It's only supported WPA2 for a few months i think? Half a year maybe?

edit: You have to pay AGAIN to upgrade MyWi, if you weren't aware.

It looks like MyWi only enables WPA2 if it detects the iPhone 4. I'm sure it will get updated to allow it on the 4S as well.

Also, SBSettings lets me disable 3G on the 4S! No need to wait for iOS 5.1!

smooth.


What's the word on having to save SHSH blobs on 5.0.1? This will be my first jailbreak and I've heard people saying to do it in here, and I've also seen a couple people mentioning that it doesn't have to be done anymore as of iOS5. Got asked at least once in the past couple pages and nobody seems to have replied to it. I downloaded tinyumbrella yesterday and it didn't seem to be able to save them at all. I'm guessing if it works it's done after the jailbreak? The site doesn't really specify how to use it just mentions different settings and a brief overview of what it does.

I want to try it but:

A. I am worried I'll have worse battery life. I'm on 4.3.3 and I get stellar battery life. I've gone several weekends out of town without even needing to use the charger.

B. I have so much poo poo I need to backup before I have to start from nothing again.

Woah dudes!
I'm trying to replace the push notification sound for the Meebo app, but I can't find the correct sound to replace. I can replace the in-app sound by replacing recv.caf in the application folder and I've replaced the tritone and voicemail sounds in system/Library/Audio/UISounds but the app still plays tritone when I get a push notification for it.

Am I missing something?
