Well then there's where the issue is popping up. I've got itunes 10.5.3.3 installed and the device is connected and picked up just fine in itunes, but tinyumbrella doesn't recognize it. Tinyumbrella is also the latest version.

that's weird. TU only has to detect the device once, and then it stores that device's id numbers so you don't even have to have the device connected for future usage of the program.

maybe try having itunes closed and the device connected while displaying the charging screen, and then re-launching TU and see if it detects like that

with the mention of program files (x86) in there, i think you might be having a 32-bit/64-bit problem. i don't know if itunes has a native 64bit version but running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the java runtime environment when itunes is the other might lead to that error. it's getting over my head at this point anyways, good luck

Have you tried the CLI version? I used the Windows version and it only involved two simple commands and it worked first-try without any errors or anything at all.

what are the commands? -s and -j with the parameter from the readme?

So what's the deal?

you can't downgrade baseband on any recent iphone, even 3GS. if you are depending on a software carrier unlock (ultrasn0w) and you upgrade the baseband, you are hosed ("bricked"?) because you can't downgrade it.

your software engineer friend is wrong

I'm having trouble SSH-ing into my phone. It's a 3GS running 5.0.1 with the iPad baseband. I'm on a mac, and I can ping to the phone's IP just fine, but when I try "SSH root@IP Address" I get the error message "ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.105 port 22: Connection refused". I've tried googling but all the links coming up are old and mostly for windows. I've also set the phone to not go to sleep. Anyone know what's up?

afaik you can't connect if the screen is locked

On another note, does anyone know of a (IOS 5 and 3GS compatible) thing that'll hide the lock screen UI? In particular the clock and bar at the top, and all the "slide to unlock" stuff at the bottom.

there's a cydia pkg called "lockscreen clock hide" that can hide the time and bar at the top, not sure about something for the slider at the bottom

Does anyone know why Cydia take so long to refresh it keeps stalling at packages when it loads up.

cydia hits a bunch of different sources sequentially, one of them is still getting hammered with the influx of new devices being jailbroken.

i kinda wish it would display which one is lagging so i could go disable it. i also wish it would fetch the pkg list updates in parallel rather than sequentially, but since it's basically a pretty GUI on apt i doubt they have the chops to make that happen.

Any time you get a new device from someone - be it a smartphone, tablet, computer, or Xbox, you wipe/format it as soon as you can. You never know what kind of hosed up poo poo is on it.

For an iPhone 4, I believe the process is to restore to a fresh 5.0.1 install, jailbreak with redsn0w, then install the latest Corona.

doesn't look like 04.11.08 is unlockable with ultrasn0w

Saurik took the time to respond to me (seven pages of text if printed at 12pt) explaining that people actually don't report bugs to him, and that he never knows when something isn't working.

Hahah, whaaaat? Does he even use Winterboard at all

mewse
May 2, 2006

Winterboard isn't stable at all. Immediately after jailbreaking my 4S I wanted to try out the Typophone lock screen because it's designed for the retina display and I was on a 3GS before.

After the phone being on for a few days, my camera would crash the springboard. The problem went away when I purged Winterboard, Typophone, and some package that hid the clock on the lockscreen.

I don't know what he wrote you but I suspect he's got some major denial that it's old and bad themes causing the errant behavior on people's devices rather than some really unsafe code capable of bringing down the springboard. He seems to be more of a unix hackery type guy rather than a visual splashy type guy (confirmed by his iOS 4 wallpaper epiphany).

I got my first iPhone (4S) back in October, and now I feel the desire to jailbreak it (only thing I miss from Android is rooting and flashing my phone). From my reading I take that since I have a 4S running 5.1 there is no way at this time to jailbreak it? So my best bet would be not to install 5.1.1, and wait for a jailbreak of 5.1 for the 4S? Or does the jailbreak community move on to 5.1.1 and skip 5.1?

It's unlikely anything exploit-wise changed between 5.1 and 5.1.1 but you should probably just stop updating. Many past jailbreaks depended on already having a jailbroken device.

mewse
May 2, 2006

I'm really paranoid about updating and then jailbreaking because a while back on my old 3GS I updated to 5.0, it couldn't recover the data from my 4.x backup, and then it made a new backup of the completely fresh and empty 5.0 install and purged my 4.x backup.

So now before every little thing I make a manual copy of the backup folder.

Coincidentally I'm hoping to make a boxing game with controls similar to infinity blade.

I spent the whole weekend getting my dev environment set up with a hackintosh and no developer license. These instructions for developing on a jailbroken iDevice are still valid for the latest versions of xcode and ios sdk, you just have to adjust the paths according to one of the most recent comments on the article.

On the subject of SiriPort, can anybody who has an iPhone 4S with an official Siri answer if you need a data connection to use it? It seems odd that SiriPort can't do non-network tasks like check my calendar, alarms, notes, etc. without an active data connection and I was wondering if that was a limitation on the port version or not.

Siri always needs a data connection, none of the voice recognition happens on the device itself, it's sent to a server

You've already solved your problem but you could've gotten around this on an unjailbroken phone by using the built-in accessibility features.

On page 155 of the current user manual it describes AssistiveTouch where you can toggle ring/silent from a menu on the screen

I think I know how to do it with redsn0w, but that's not the JB tool for 5.1.1.

The latest redsn0w looks like it can do 5.1.1, it's the second post down on the iphone dev team blog.

I remember redsn0w can create a custom IPSW with no baseband.

You probably also want to look into downgrading that weird iPad baseband to the older baseband as explained by the top post on that same page.
