Jailbreaking Discussion - Page 19

The easiest way that I know of is using greenpois0n. The latest Firmware you can jailbreak is Firmware 4.2.1
If you have 4.3.1 installed you need to downgrade, possibly by doing a restore of one of your previous backups. If the device came preloaded with 4.3.1 I suggest you wait until they update Greenpois0n again, to avoid messing up your iPhone with bad firmware.

Freeze, forgot about Greenpoison, instead you can jailbreak 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 with RedSn0w. :3

I recommended you go with 4.3.2 since it fixed some bugs in 4.3.1

The Dev-Team Blog

All devices that have 4.3.1/2 are supported except the iPad 2 for now. The process is fairly easy and you do not need to restore your device. You will however be required to download the firmware IPSW of your device for it to work.

If you have Windows 7 or Vista, it's recommended that you run redsnow.exe in administrator mode and compatibility mode of Windows XP or earlier versions (Windows 95 seems to be the safest one through my experience).

Make sure to save your blobs or shsh's with Tinyumbrella so you can jailbreak in the future when a new unjailbreakable iOS is out.

You can't notify ZL because his name is less than 3 characters long. Sucks.

Anyways, I didn't know I would actually use Redsn0w with the latest Firmware without restoring, so thanks for that tip ZL.

Depends on how you reinstall. If you use Redsn0w there shouldn't be any need to restore the actual iPod. If you decide to use a custom IPSW, then yeah, you lose everything.

Tyvm guys. You bring light to the unenlightened. I was worried about this because a "friend" of mine jailbroke his and it was stuck on the screen of a USB cord plugging into iTunes.

BTW, things such as your music won't be restored from a backup, so watch out for that.

You need to make sure you untick the box in winterboard and that you only have the one theme you want ticked. Weird that you uninstalled and it's still showing up.

Usually when themes are installed, it's not just one single box that themes the entire phone, have you tried unchecking all the boxes in winterboard and then respringing? It should go back to stock, and from there you can move one by one down the list of themes in winterboard to find out what's keeping those skins. If that fails, then you're going to have to either SSH and delete the remnants of the theme, or maybe even use iFile and delete it if you're lucky.

Of course there's always the option of restoring+jailbreak if you feel that's out of your comfort zone.
