Sorry, guy.
I've now Jailbroken:

My iPad 3
My iPhone 4S
My Wife's iPad 2


And when I try my wife's iPhone 4 (not 4S) Absinthe says "Sorry, this device is not supported."

Any ideas on what I might be missing? I did an iTunes update to 5.1.1 for it.

5.1.1 9B206 or 9B208? The latter won't work with Absinthe yet/now.

Are cydias servers still being hammered? People are saying that they have installed sbsettings but im getting 500 internal server errors all over the place. I think I must have tried a hundred times over the last 24 hours. I'm starting to think maybe my cydia install is broken.

I had luck with letting it finish whatever it could grab, and then adding the program to the download queue and then downloading the queue.

Maybe it was dumb luck, but it worked every time for me.

Did you enable NCSettings in Notifications? Settings -> Notifications -> Enable NCSettings.

I checked it out and while it's really nice, I feel like I'm missing some stuff like my RemoveBackground toggle.

Edit: Does anyone know a way to dock apps like in SBsettings? I don't feel safe having iFile on the Springboard where people can easily see it.

I love GBC.emu for all your Gameboy Color needs. It is incredibly polished, fast, and customizable.

I am convinced any of the .emu emulators are the best you can get on Cydia. The developer still actively updates and fine tunes his emulation platform.

I bought gpSPhone (Gameboy Advanced) and I am not pleased with it. Good news: It runs Pokemon and there is sound. Bad news: The portrait layouts are annoying. There is very little customization and it tends to crash.

My 3g problems continue. 90% of the time safari doesn't even load a page, it just times out. I jailbroke first with absinthe which is where I noticed the problem. Then I restored to stock and tried sn0wbreeze. I was having a problem there where cydia apps would just close immediately. That's not good. So I restored back to stock and did absinthe again and now my 3g problems are back. Anyone else having problems like this? Any solutions? I have all kinds of 3g bars, and a data ip shows up in sbsettings.

Edit: I erased network settings. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I believe I am experiencing the same situation. Lots of times when I was out today I couldn't get Internet over 3G on my recently jailbroken 4S. As soon as I hit a wifi I'm good to go. Even right now in my house where I have a microcell, if I turn wifi off on my 4S I can't load anything.

You can also go into the Settings app and select which toggles you want, and change the order for NCSettings to display. Just drag the ones you don't want under "Off" in the settings.

sorry to quote myself but this seems to be working fine for me. Anyone know why? Is there a way to reactivate my phone with att using the standard apn? I have plenty of bars and a 3g data ip but without this apn hack a page will only load 1 out of 10, maybe 20 times. I'd rather not have to use this hack. Is there some file I can delete on my iphone to force it to "reload the apn" (probably not the right terminology) with att or something?

I jailbroke my iPhone 4 on 5.1.1 today for the first time. When I did so, it showed it as recognizing an iPhone 3,3; but it went through just fine without any hiccups. I've also been unable to download certain apps from Cydia which are labeled as requiring iPhone 4+. Any thoughts on why this is or how to fix it?

I can't check from my phone but you should be able to get it from the firmware section of jailbreakmatrix.com. The one you want is 206 and the one you don't is 208. Those numbers should be in the file name for the firmware.

I just figured the unlocking to be used on another carrier, and then updating via iTunes, would have some relevance. Bah.

I don't think so... I think that the unlock just gets around the normal lock and when you reset the phone the normal lock goes back into effect.

Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, that's just my understanding of how unlocking works v:)v

SiriToggles is the one I'm using. Stuff like "turn off wi-fi" or "set volume to 50" work great. Haven't had much luck with launching apps though.

Edit: "launch awful" works. I was sticking the word "app" in there and getting the response, "sorry, I can't find that app".

Folks with iPod Touches should be careful. For some reason the Absinthe I got at greenpoison didn't have the package for iPod Touches; only the one I got at the Jailbreak Matrix website (the red window inside the Absinthe 2.0.1 article) did.

Once I got that one I was able to easy peasy JB my iPod Touch 4th Gen.

If you use iTunes to restore - the full wipe and OS-flash - you should end up with a clean, stock phone.

This is correct. When you jailbreak your phone, you exploit the currently running instance of iOS and use that exploit to place data and apps on your phone. If you restore through iTunes, you'll effectively install a new instance of iOS with a clean slate.
