No clue. I doubt Apple would selectively stop signing based on your device carrier, but I have no idea how that poo poo works. Can't hurt to try

The CDMA and GSM devices get different versions of 8.12 or whatever so they COULD stop signing one earlier than the other. Who knows if they would.

Do this, it's super effin easy.

Jailbreak groups are hinting that 8.1.3 jb will come out very soon though.

In other news, it's looking like BiteSMS is officially dead. iMessage+ is updated for 8 now but I'm not much a fan. Messageheads on the other hand does quick message and quick reply very similar to bitesms. I started using it yesterday, and it's really the next best thing.

I'm asking since the site just has downloads for GSM and Global for the 5s, is there no available ipsw for 8.1.2 CDMA?

Now that I'm finally jail broken again I'd like to get a better lock screen like LockInfo. My biggest problem with the stock setup is that only recent notifications appear on the lock screen, and I have to swipe down from the top of the screen to see the full notification center. It makes what should be a quick glance into ... not a quick glance.

LockInfo looks discontinued. What are my options?

Edit: also, is there any better way to browse Cydia? Filter out old poo poo? I've installed and uninstalled dozens of things with undated change logs and poor documentation after finding out they don't work.

An Open In Background Tab mod for Safari would be rad too. it's a core feature in Settings now. Huh. Good.

LockInfo is not discontinued. In fact it's in release candidate stage now and a release is imminent.

It also looks and works great on iOS 8. You can add David Ashman's beta repo to try it.

I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
Here's a question that was probably asked years ago :smith: I have an OG iPad 1, the original one. I use it for light kindle reading, SiriusXm, these forums, and some sleep/relaxation apps at night before bed, Exchange Server, and note taking from time to time - works perfect for all of that Well being stuck on the OG 1 and therefore stuck on iOS 5.1.1, I can't download any of these newer sleep/guided relaxation apps off the itunes store that she or I want. Basically, is there an way to jailbreak this iPad v1 so I can grab a few of these low resource intensive apps (that require a higher iOS version) while spoofing what version I'm really on? Thanks :)

I've seen people do this by editing a .plist file but it usually ended up with all sorts of bad results in other places and processes. I don't think there's any good way to go about it.

To anyone that dearly misses ManualCorrect, the dev posted a .deb file: https://twitter.com/aerialx/status/551113039353618432

It changes it so that the default assumption is that you don't want autocorrect to apply unless you tap the word suggestion. Probably 10% of why I jailbreak.

So my 9 year old daughter has a first gen iPad and wants to hack blockheads so she can have unlimited time crystals. She figured out how to do this by jailbreaking but doesn't know how to do the jailbreak. I think it's fine, but I wanted to run it by people here in case there is some risk to jailbreaking that I'm not thinking of. It doesn't have a camera and doesn't have much personal info on it.

Cheating is a great way to enjoy some games that would otherwise be bogged down with tedium. The forum moderation staff isn't keen on us discussing piracy, though.

Jailbreaking is pretty easy. The current method on firmware 8.1.2 is done with TAiG and takes about 10 seconds. http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-jailbreak-ios-8.1.2-using-taig-guide/

Only if she learns how to add sketchy repos on Cydia. There may be some normal Cydia tweaks that may open up absurd security holes but none come to mind immediately. You could download Springtomize (for example) and hide Cydia's icon if you're concerned.

Depending on the :filez: method used, there could be security issues. One of them spoofs IAP communications between your phone and apple and, if you don't log out of your app store account or make the right actions, it might send your account info somewhere unwanted. Apple might even notice. I don't know if there have been any cases of that happening but both are probably possible.

I don't know if anyone has this issue often, but it took me a fair amount of research to figure out an issue I was having with binaries giving me a "illegal instructions: 4" error message in mobile terminal. Come to find out its a simple issue with ARM64 phones. You can fix it yourself right in mobile terminal with a sed and then a ldid command. You'll have download Saurik's Link Identity Editor from his repo.

code:
sed -i'' 's/\x00\x30\x93\xe4/\x00\x30\x93\xe5/g;s/\x00\x30\xd3\xe4/\x00\x30\xd3\xe5/g;' /usr/bin/binaryname 
ldid -s  /usr/bin/binaryname 

Just change binaryname to the binary you were receiving that error for. I got this from http://iphonesdkdev.blogspot.com/2013/02/illegal-instruction-4.html?m=1

Which iPhone do you have? It will depend on that somewhat.

In order for a carrier unlock to take effect typically you will need to restore your device, thus removing the jailbreak. As far as I know 8.1.2 is still being signed by Apple, but that is subject to change at a moment's notice.

You can also sometimes trigger the unlock (without restoring) using a non-network SIM; or using the SAMPrefs tool. There might be another tool out there but I've never had to use any of them personally.

No. Jail breaking does not "unlock" a phone to be used on a different carrier. Nor is there any jailbreak tweak or app that will unlock it for you. Your best bet, if it is originally your phone, is you can request an unlock through ATT's website, as long as the phone has been paid for (2 year contract is complete), and your account is in good standing. It costs nothing to unlock it this way. The only other way is buying an unlock through eBay.
