Jailbreak Thread

[Echo]

Hey guys, I haven't seen any Jailbreak threads here on VT, and thought I'd start my own. So if you guys have any problems, questions, or just want to discuss jailbreaking, feel free! :) Also, just to the people wondering, I have a jailbroken iPod touch 4G, running on 4.3.1, jailbroken with RedSn0w 0.9.6rc12.

I apologize if there is a thread like this (I just have not seen any).

[Nelson]

Why haven't you upgraded to 4.3.3 and jailbroken? That's what I'm wondering

[Echo]

Laziness and I don't think there is any need to upgrade.

[Totality]

I'm currently waiting for a untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0 for the iPhone.

Then I'll update, jailbreak and unlock xD

[Echo]

Same here Celisuis. Or maybe if and when 4.4 comes out...

[Totality]

I'd wait for 5.0.

I got the beta of it on my iTouch - but since my iPhone is jailbroken and unlocked, I dare'nt update it yet otherwise Ill screw it up

[Echo]

How'd you get the BETA?!

[DreamSeeker]

Just a note, there won't be a 4.4. The next version is iOS5 released in the Autumn. If anything there may be a 4.3.4 but nothing else.

[Echo]

Yeah I didn't think so... Can't wait for IOS 5. And I've already pre-ordered OSX Lion for my MacBook Pro.

[DJbeggar]

A few months ago i wanted to open a thread like this but then i thought its forbidden here :S LOL

[Totality]

To get the BETA, it's awkward, and I can't go into details here.

It involves tricking the iPhone/iTouch to make it believe its got a special UDID Code that allows it to download and run iOS 5.0 Beta

No worries bro, the government has officially called jailbreaking legal...

[DreamSeeker]

How do you pre-order it? It's Mac App store only and I did not think you can pre-order on the app store.

Ah alright... I'll try that. ;D thanks for the info.

[Totality]

I can't wait for OSX Lion - except im running windows - SO VMWare here I come!

Yeah sorry, bad choice of words. I basically meant I've got the money and I'm waiting 'til tomorrow ;P

Respect to you sir, if you've managed to deal with Windows' shitty OS for so long, you can do anything (Celisuis for president!). ;)

I would just by a MacBook or a desktop Mac when Lion comes out.

[Totality]

Haha I would buy one - except MONEY! Haha - wish I had enough to buy one.

And yep.

I'm currently running a tri-booted laptop :P

Damn bro! You've got patience skillz! ;)

[Totality]

Especially running a tri-boot?

Yea, I do.

Running - Windows 7 - Ubuntu 11.04 and iDeneb V1.4

At least you've got Wndows 7... If you still had XP, I'd have voted for you as president ;)

[Totality]

I have the install discs of 95 all the way up to Windows Se7en.

They're all kept in a case somewhere in my room haha xD

I have most linux installs.

And

Solaris!!

Running a tri-boot? You must have some decent HDD space, I'd do it but my hard drive is only 140GB (It's 160GB but lost due to recovery and formatting etc). So I'd be squeezed for space.

But once I upgrade, I'll be dual-booting Windows 7 and Jolicloud on my Main and random OSes on the old one.

On-Topic - Yeah, it's legal just not supported by Apple :P Any of you guys seen the tweaks in iOS5? When iOS 5 is released and jailbroke you'll have toggles, twitter and everything in the notification centre :D

iOS 5 will be the mobile device OS of the future. This changes everything. Again!

[Totality]

Yep.

It will change the face of Apple and iOS.

And yea about my tri-booting.

I boot everything of a 1TB External HDD.

I have Win 7 on my main HDD and Everything else on the External.

Who are you? Steve Jobs?

And all the 'new' 'innovative' features I've seen coming from iOS 5.0 are just there to play catch-up with Windows Phone 7.

You can do that? I tried that but Windows 7 would not boot off my external (You're using USB right).

[Totality]

Yea, I'm using usb.

And it works fine, if i want to boot of my external.

All I do - is go into my laptop bios and set it to boot from External before anything else, so it will read all the install on the external first.

And, even though I love my iPhone and Apple, Im considering switching in for Android!

But back on topic.

iOS 5 will be amazing, but its only going to have the features which are already available on many other OS's.

iChat - Blackberry Messenger
Twitter - Android
Notification Center - Android/Windows

That was a joke bro. And the windows phone, I must admit, is pretty cool. But the touch screen is shitty, it doesn't even have MultiTouch...

The touch screen quality varies by phone manufacturer. Like on my Samsung Focus, the screen is AMAZING.
And it /does/ have multitouch. That's a requirement set by Microsoft, every Windows Phone 7 device has to have a 4 point multitouch screen.

True. But in my personal opinion, I prefer iOS... I just don't support Microsoft, cause I've never had good experiences with them.

[Totality]

I like iOS - but I also like Android.

And Windows Phones.

Im thinking of switching my iPhone for an Android based phone however.

Well Droid is getting better... I do think Apple can definitely learn some things from Droid (and vice-versa)...

[Totality]

Yea, I got offered a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i for my 3gs

Dude the Xperias are sweet! You should take it...

I might do.
