I would agree with this to an extent, but unless apple offer something similar to sbsettings then a jailbreak wins everytime

Even with sbsettings and the other apps released I don't need to jailbrake it. It works out of the box for what I want it for.

Roll on the A5 Jailbreak

Just done it on my phone, I'm assuming its normal for Cydia to be the white icon and then come up with 'Preparing Filesystem' or have I done something wrong?

i think it does that the first time you did it. when i jailbroke original. to tethered 5.0.1 i had to reboot using redsn0w but i presume you wont

on a second note. Im trying to find corona 5.0.1 untethered in cydia but i can't find it any where. any one else having this problem. and yes, i have serached for it

Just JB'd my iP4, fairly painless. Looking forward to getting SBSettings and Fiveicondock back. Amazing how you miss little touches like those.

or install the Cydia package prepared by the chronic devteam

Where can I find this?

Andybtsn · 27 Dec 2011 at 20:52

I've done mine (I had previously the semi-tethered state) and now it's running in safe mode. Disabled all my Cydia apps and I still can't get it into standard mode.

Not sure what else I can try?

Hit a bit of a snag after installing my Cydia apps using Aptbackup. Ended up with the 1/4 screen issue a few folk have been having. If this happens to you the popular solution which worked for me was to open SBSettings, select "Power" then "Safe Mode". Then respring from Safe Mode and the 1/4 problem should be gone.

Open Cydia and search for "Corona" ( without the quotes ). It's about fifth down in the list.

I just successfully jb a ipod touch 4G which had 5.0.1

How do I go about JBing my iphone4 at 4.3.3 to 5.0.1 ? Do I just run redsnow and not tick anything? (as I already have cydia installed ? )

Cheers, doing that just brings up themes though?

The way I did it was connect iphone to laptop, make a backup of the phone. Then I ran Aptbackup and backed up my Cydia apps. Then updated my iOS ( I was on 4.1 ) to 5.0.1. I then restored the phone from my backup in iTunes and when that was done, downloaded and ran Redsn0w. Ran Aptbackup to restore my Cydia apps and settings and when that was done, sorted out the 1/4 screen issue.

I get this when I search for Corona :-

Fourth one down is the one you want.

Did you do a fresh install of IOS 5.0.1? AFAIk (With my little knowledge) trying to do an untethered over a semi tethered will just break it.

ok cool --- but what about SHSH blobs do i need to worry about them ?

I need to remove my hosts entry to allow update from apple ?

If i aptbackup do i just run aptbackup again where does it keep the list of stuff?
any risk of putting stuff back on by mistake that won't work with ios5?

and what's the 1/4 screen issue?

thanks

I'm currently running 4.0 - Firstly would I see the big advantage with 5.0.1? Also is it the same process and detailed below?

Doubt it, what errors are you getting?

I'm trying to download my cydia apps but my packages is out of date so reloading and downloaded the latest one brings up this:

I wish I hadn't bothered doing this. If it ain't broke...
