That's why one is supposed to restore an original FW before taking it in for service...i wouldnt jailbreak iphone because if you take it in for service and they see its jailbroken it may void your warranty causing them to not help you.....if it was a touch id say do it.....
Not even close. There's lockinfo, sbsettings, winterboard (my most favorite) to name a few.Oh and with the 4.0 shit theres really no need to jailbreak except for apps because you can change all the things jailbreaking allowed you to change from the settings.
So basically you've wasted your money if tyou want to jailbreak to another carrier. Ios4 hasnt been cracked yet.rammunition wrote:
Ok, basicially I've just got a iphone 3GS for my girl. Now she wants it tomorrow as she is dying for it. Its a iphone 3gs on 4.0.1. The only thing I have jailbroken before was my iPod touch but that was way back on something like 3.1.
So just wondering what are the steps needed to jailbreak and unlock the phone. Thanks.
Yes, I did it.Lucien wrote:

If you can find it and install it without bricking the phone. or wait... itll get hacked soon enough. I was able to downgrade firmware once, Put the device in recovery mode and then restore through itunes. I forgot how to be able to choose the firmware version, google it.rammunition wrote:

pretty sure that's US of A only... can do that fine in england without jailbreaking.SonderKommando wrote:

Depends entirely on what firmware version you have installed.Lucien wrote:

You hold down OPTION (on a Mac) or SHIFT (PC) and click the Restore button in iTunes, it lets you browse to find your older/jailbroken OS file. (See above about SHSH blobs though.)SonderKommando wrote:

Untrue (for upgraded 3GS - it is true for iPhone 4).TheDonkey wrote:
At this point, the only way to downgrade an iPhone/ipod is if you've already run the previous OS and Cydia's managed to cache these things called SHSH blobs.
Basically, a while back, apple starting "Verifying" every restore with their servers, so when you try to restore, it calls home with your iDevice's serial number and gets back an encrypted key that tells itunes whether it's ok to restore to that OS or not.
If you've run Cydia on the older OS, the dev put in some code that pulled out the special response-key and stored it to his server, that way you can restore back.
tl'dr: No you can't downgrade an iPhone 4 or an upgraded 3GS
Untrue. In lots of ways.TheDonkey wrote:
As far as reasons to jailbreak 4.0, mainly, I have an iPod Touch 2G so it lets me enable the multitasking. I run Music Controls(Swipe controls on the lockscreen among other features), DTunes(if my home internet's shit and I need to torrent something on the go), some apps that make good use of the lack of restrictions on hooks(Flashlight, it automatically brings up the brightness to full while it runs), SBSettings(Controls for Bluetooh+Wifi+Brightness from any app), I hide stupid built in apps like Stocks with SBSettings, finally, I made a whole bunch of tweaks to make everything run faster in general.
Depending on what exactly goes wrong with your iPhone, as long as you can DFU and restore it to a non-jailbroken OS, Apple won't know the difference, so it kinda coids out your warranty but they won't know any better. There are only 3 actual ways to brick an iDevice, and you have to pretty much specifically try to type in a string of commands into mobile terminal to do it.
Go ahead. I don't suspect it'll be relevant, but am curious to see.TheDonkey wrote:
I'm talking about a true brick that you can't get out of. Yes, there are a bunch of things you can do where iTunes won't restore or won't recognize it so you have to go into DFU mode or force it into DFU with a command from the computer. But if you put in a full memory wipe command, it will wipe everything including the bootloader so pushing the power button or plugging in the cable won't have an actual action associated with it, thus bricked.
I'm trying to find source, will post later.
