Still holding out this Unthreaded JB is real. I had my iPhone 5 stolen from my car, and had to get a new one which was on 6.1.2 and JB'd. These guys seem to know what they're doing, despite overwhelming criticism. They've actually put out working JBs. Hopefully their A5 / 6.1.4 jb is real.

I guess I'm giving up my jailbreak for the time being. Power button on my 5 is starting to get really fussy, so I'm taking it in to presumably swap tomorrow. Whats the easiest way to un-jailbreak? If I do a full backup through iTunes then restore will I end up with all the apps, settings, and data (apart from music) that I have now?

Buy the part online and follow the iFixit guide?

Who are "these guys" and what 6.1.4 Jailbreak are you talking about

I'd rather not crack open my under-warranty phone just so I can keep a couple tweaks. Especially when the alternative is a 20 minute trip to the apple store.

A previously unknown group that recently jailbroke 5.1 (why they would jailbreak such an old release, who knows, but it was a real untethered jailbreak and Absinthe didn't work on it) is claiming that they have a 6.1.3/6.1.4 jailbreak coming soon.

Is this immediately post jailbreak or have you been using Cydia for a while now?

Been jailbroken for a long time now, all my tweaks still work. I'd not used Cydia in legit a couple of months. Thought I'd try to download something today, on a goon's recommendation, and I'm getting static.

Have you deselected/hidden certain categories before? Make sure your sources are all there as well.

And the obvious question- have you tried a reboot?

Really satisfying music!
My launch-day iPhone5 has a problem with the sleep button only working 1% of the time. From what I can tell this is a pretty common problem.

I'd like to go back to Apple for a replacement, but what should I do with my jailbreak?
Will the Apple reps care?
Do they backup/restore the phone for you?
Do they upgrade to the latest firmware?

What are some good jailbreak backup apps on Cydia? I remember using something back in 2009 and it didn't work very well.

EDIT: I should read threads.

No, the last supported firmware was 6.1.2. A jailbreak more than likely won't be available until after the release of iOS 7.

I just thought the whole point of jailbreaking was to get all the apps for free, besides some of the helpful tweaks and such. At least, that is what I and everyone I have done it for did it for.

Also, YourTube is 3.99-5.99 depending if you get it on sale or not, just fyi.

Keep going… we all love to know how you steal/pirate apps.

And hey, I did pay(donate) more than a buck. Sorry you have enough money to buy an iphone but not enough pocket change to donate to a developer.

Not jail broken at the moment, still worth every penny from the convenience I got while I was :colbert:

But I really miss BiteSMS. And it is really weird that it is in my autocorrect.

No, I am sorry I was wrong to think most people used it to pirate apps. I did not realize this many people actually bought the paid cydia apps, I just thought those were spam things. My mistake, I will actually look at the paid ones now.
