Can't wait to get my hands on this, this isy first iPhone and have never used a jailbroken phone.

One question, can I restore from an iCloud backup after jailbreaking?

Why would you need to restore after jailbreaking?

Solus · 12 Jan 2012 at 10:38

To get my photos etc back easier, I could always just sign in to iCloud and contacts would come back but theres a few things that don't

I still don't understand. Why would jailbreaking your phone result in needing to restore your data?

Edit: Just noticed your first post and the fact you've never jailbroke before.

This jailbreak does not involve restoring your phone.

Oh, okay. I was under the impression that jailbreaks are just modified firmware which you replace on your phone. Quite like a restore, but I guess I need to do a bit more reading up.

Thanks for your help anyway

That was the case with an older method of jailbreaking but not with the latest version of RedSn0w.

I would be more excited if the compatibility list for iOS5.0.1 was more complete

Still wooohooo

More complete? How could it be more complete than containing both of the A5 devices? Haha

He seems JB tweaks rather than devices the jailbreak will work on

I mean nothing seems to be compatible at the moment does it? Does anyone have a link to it to open it in a large view?

Skyboat · 12 Jan 2012 at 19:30

Compatible with what? iOS 5.0.1 with Cydia/JB apps? Running fine on my iPhone 4 here

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 12 Jan 2012 at 19:53

Going off this list
http://cydiablog.com/list-of-ios-5.0.1-jailbreak-compatible-cydia-apps/

Hardly anything decent is classed as working?

photoshop · 12 Jan 2012 at 21:13

everything i tried has worked fine for me on iOS5.0.1

Skyboat · 12 Jan 2012 at 21:14

That list is a load of rubbish. Pretty much every tweak I have installed is listed on there and I have no compatibility issues at all.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 12 Jan 2012 at 22:42

hmm whats the point of it then. Did seem massively incomplete.

V_R · 12 Jan 2012 at 23:14

This cant come soon enough IMO.

lauy · 13 Jan 2012 at 16:27
