About that /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.IconsCache folder, when I clear it, opening folders takes a while again. It's re-populating that folder with icons again.

I wiped out 50gb on my iPad 3 in about 25 seconds.

If the 4S is currently jail broken I don't think the erase all works. At least it didn't when I tried it at the time on my jail broken 5.0.1 iPad 2.

Well I was using a tethered jailbreak so I rebooted the phone in to a non jailbroken state and tried again and it still seemed to be "stuck". I'll just do a fresh install of 5.1.1 in ITunes and hope for the best.

Are there any jailbreak apps that allow you to swipe left/right to skip 30 seconds (or whatever) in audio and video playback?

I transfer TV shows (off my DVR) to my iPhone and I'd love to be able to swipe right a couple of times to skip 30 or 90 seconds, etc.

So I'm an idiot and need some help and/or clarification.

I bought an iPhone 4 of Kijiji months ago, it was unlocked from some mall kiosk and allowed me to use my Telus SIM. Great. Some time went by and eventually I had it on a tethered jailbreak (5.1) from redsn0w. Everything was fine and well (minus iMessage not being able to be activated) and there was no issues.

For whatever reason, when this new tethered jailbreak came out via Absinthe 2.0, I saw online I could basically just restore to 5.1.1 from iTunes and be good. Idiot. I'm assuming I'd need to make a custom IPSW to preserve my baseband, which I didn't do. Now my iPhone is in the setup stage, on 5.1.1, with the invalid SIM error.

Now for the questions.

1. What, if anything, can I do now to fix this? I lost my custom IPSW's from the past in a HDD crash so that's no dice if anyone suggests it.

2. If I were to sell this phone, how do I advertise it? Locked to Telus? Unlocked? Previous owner was an idiot? I'm not sure.

3. I'm asking part 2 since I'm debating upgrading to a iPhone 4S and if I do I'll be buying one from Kijiji already locked to Telus.

If this is all stupid, I'm sorry. I'm just confused and need some direction.

:smith:

Edit: I should also mention this is extremely lovely and I feel like an idiot. Having no phone sucks, especially when you're not sure how bad you've hosed up.

You're pretty much but not totally hosed. There are new GeveySIMs that work with the 5.1.1 baseband.

First time ever jailbreaking my iPad(2). Worked just fine on the first try. I've seen a few "here's some cool stuff you should do now that you're free" sites, but anyone have any specific recommendations? Once I looked up a multi-tasking app (dear god, I can actually have a fully working alarm clock for once on an iPad?!) and how to send files to the iPad directly from the source, I'm out of needs to meet directly and could use some ideas for stuff worth doing that required jailbreaking.

They probably just don't give a poo poo. Or they have no idea why it happens or how to fix it so they just ignore it.

I was hoping that the "old" hdmi adapter would work on the new iPad now that the jailbreak is out, but I just tried it with Resupported and DisplayOut and it still didn't. Although Resupported removed the "Accessory not supported" popup. I really don't want to have to buy a new hdmi thing.

I am Fat Man, hear me roar!

So apple's pushed a no-number-change update to 5.1.1 GSM iphone 4's. I can't confirm if it breaks the JB or not but given it doesn't revise the number, I doubt it. I don't take any responsibility if it does, though.

You can't update to it once you're jailbroken, so if you have balls of steel update to it first then try the JB. If you do, let us know if it works!

Quick question before I start jailbreaking my 4S. Is there a way to preserve my 1.0.13 baseband or am I forced to upgrade it? Is there an upcoming unlock that uses the 5.0.1 firmware baseband?

frumpsnake posted:

Typically once the unlock request is sent to Apple it takes a few days for it to hit the server.

If/once it goes through, you'll see this next time you plug in to iTunes:



(The official line is that you should "restore your phone", but that's never been the case for me.)

As far as I know, and I could be wrong, nothing changed in iOS 5, ie. there's no on-device message, it's an iTunes-only thing.

Well I just used redsn0w to make a custom 5.1.1 firmware without the BB update and upgraded my phone and while I didn't get that screen, my phone was unlocked from the get go and working with the SIM card I had stuck inside it. Was able to make calls and such so then I just hit restore again in iTunes and upgraded it to the official firmware (BB update and all) and what do you know, it worked! Now I have an unlocked AT&T iPhone running 5.1.1 and the newest 4.xxx baseband with custom SIM.

I know this is the jailbreak thread but I am really glad that this worked and that I'll never have to deal with another jailbreak again. I only JB'ed for ultrasn0w, everything else was optional. I miss the swipe up gesture of zephyr when I'm using my non-JB'd iPad but it's fine to not have to deal with the hassle of JB'ing and following JB news and so on.

So in regards to this, how long before apple stops signing the older 5.1.1 official firmware? I've already got my phone done but I'm going to update my friends jailbroken Iphone 4 from 4.something to 5.1.1 tonight and I'm going to get a ton of poo poo if after I update it to 5.5.1 (9b206) I'm not able to re-jailbreak it.

After I just typed all that out I realized that when apple stops signing firmware it will just error out on trying to upgrade, so if I'm thinking correctly there Isn't really any danger of data loss for him, he will just be stuck with his jailbreak on his ancient firmware. That being said question still stands. I should at least have a day before they stop signing that older 5.1.1? Unless they decide to be bastards.
