The Great Twist

OP is terribly out of date, Pangu will work on 7.1.2. There's no whacky chinese spyware and the thing is pretty solid. Somethings are a little 'eh' with 7.1.2, but a lot of them seem fine or have beta versions.

One exception, it installs this piece of poo poo called PPSync that causes stability issues, but it's easily removed. It's not malicious, just poorly written.

I like how the thread title is almost two iOS and iPhone generations behind now. Does anyone moderate these forums anymore?

I don't know what this thing is, and I don't care. I'm just tired of seeing your stupid newbie av from 2011.
I think the second release of Pangu got rid of it. Chinese version had a checkbox with it checked by default (you could unselect it) while the English one didn't even bundle it.

Pangu just updated, and it now includes saurik's Apple File Conduit "2".

No reason to re-jailbreak, but if you're on iOS 7.1 or 7.1.2 and haven't done it yet, well, get to it. :)

I've been totally off jailbreak news for, well, thousands of posts. I'm jail broke ipad Air on 7.04.

It's safe/stable for me to take this to 7.12 and jailbreak?

Yup! Just make sure you update via iTunes by plugging in to a computer. Jailbreaking after doing an OTA update doesn't always work.

Backed up.

Restored.

Double clicked Pangu 1.2.0 which I downloaded to my Mac.

Nothing happens.

The Pangu app doesn't seem to open?

[edit] Redownloaded. Still the same. Pangu 1.2.0 for OSX will not launch on my mac. Click it, icon kind of does it's open animation, asks me if I want to trust or whatever, I choose "open" and nothing.

So how silly of me would it be to upgrade my iPhone 4S now and hope I get the 5 before Apple patches the jailbreak? And are the 64-bit issues worked out with most apps at this point?

Try leaving iTunes open while you're jailbreaking and see if that works.

I tried leaving iTunes open, but when you say "when you're jailbreaking"
I want to clarify, the Pangu app isn't even launching. I'm not even getting to the jailbreaking part. :)

If you're on a later version of OS X, try right-clicking and opening the app that way. Newer versions (should?) pop up a warning, not allowing you to open the app via double-click because it's not from a "certified" publisher or whatever. You can still run it, but you have to do what I described.

Edit: Aaaaand nevermind.

I keep getting a "Jailbreak Failed" after the first time the phone reboots during the whole process (when Pangu goes "Processing Jailbreak Files").

I'm running 7.1.2 (not OTA update), and Pangu 1.2.1 on Windows 7.

Any ideas?

Do you still have to set your calendar back to June 2 for Pangu? If so, could that be the problem?

Everytime this happens to me it's because I always forget to not restore my backup before jailbreaking. Might not be your issue, might be exactly that.

Wasn't that :/. Guess I'll just restore when I get home.

Edit: for what it's worth, either putting my phone on Airplane Mode or running the jailbreak for the 6th time worked perfectly.

There's some quirk with wifi sync or something. I had to turn off wireless connections on my laptop or phone to make it work too, so you're not completely crazy.

Method #1 is clever and works fine for me but I installed the Cydia fix and disabled automatic iTunes updates just in case.

AT&T caught on to the loophole people had been using and shut that down a year or so ago. I don't know about any other carriers though.

You can find people claiming they can unlock iPhones still. I have no idea if they are legitimate or not, though. What I think happened is that AT&T stopped accepting bulk unlock requests from third party iPhone resellers and stopped taking requests by phone entirely.

So maybe unlocking services are able to sneak under the radar by sending in requests one at a time. Or they could be total scams.

I have an iPad 1 locked at iOS 5.1.1. Is it possible to jailbreak and install iOS 6 or 7? I can't afford a loving ridiculously expensive newer iPad and hardly any apps work with this thing.

I don't see how something like that would work.

Any iOS upgrade has to be signed by Apple, so you can only install legitimate firmware images.

The most I can think of is that there used to be a few jailbreak tweaks that would let you "spoof" your iOS version.

So, assuming you can find a working jailbreak for 5.1.1, and assuming Cydia runs correctly on that version, and assuming that any of those jailbreak tweaks still work/are available, you could theoretically trick a newer app into running in 5.1.1

Then you'd have to hope that the app doesn't run into compatibility issues (almost impossible, I would think, given that there's been two major revisions to the software).

It's a long shot, at best.

Sorry man, I'm stuck in the same boat. iPad 1 support was dropped with iOS 6. You're boned and stuck on 5.1.1 like me. Save up for a mini.

i didn't buy shit. i don't know what the fuck is going on.
there are ways to spoof your IOS version. i've had some luck with them when i tried installing apps that no longer worked on my old ios version. it's been so long that i don't remember what the "good" or "right" one to use is. maybe someone can give you some suggestions.

basically you have no reason not to jailbreak and im pretty certain you will find some way to run the newer apps you want, so long as they don't rely on some core functionality of the newer ios versions.

I use activator. Disable the cc in the general settings and use activator for your swipe up command. Then you can selectively turn it on or off for apps.

You're stuck on iOS 5.1.1. Apple didn't make iOS 6 or above compatible with first generation iPads. I empathize, by the way: my wife has a first gen and grumbles about the same problem. We wound up with her taking my Google Nexus instead.

Unless I misunderstand you that's built into the OS. Settings -> Notification Center -> select the app and disable alerts / shot in notification center.
