Are all the claims for a 5.1 jailbreak rubbish

[oli356]

Repo's are going to get hammered, will eventually work but it's the same everytime a JB is released.

Never had the issue ever before. I'm not sure why I did a update from iPhone and didn't backup from any restore, I hate having all my messages wiped =/

If you get the "Something wrong", "Recovery complete" Something like that when jailbreaking you iDevice via Absinthe, follow these steps.

Spoiler

1) Close Absinthe.
2) Open iTunes.
3) Connect your devices if it is not connected already.
4) Go to you device in iTunes and click "Restore"
5) Wait for the restore, when its done you will get a setup thing on your device.
****** DO NOT DO THE SETUP ********
6) Close iTunes and open Absinthe.
7) Jailbreak your iDevice.
8) Restore settings from a backup
Have fun.

Managed to do my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 today, now slowly re-adding Cydia apps.

Unsure what everyone wants it for - the only thing left nowadays is install0us and that's just naughty.

I use a lot of Cydia tweeks.

If anything that's not a reason, it's a pain and if you can afford a iOS device you can buy apps which are generally <£1
/reserving this space for my reasoning of why I jailbreak.

ugh getting 500 internal error. Im glad its finally out but I can't bloody do anything now!

I stopped once my iPad and iPhone both got OTA updates, can't be bothered with it now. I do miss infinifolders, was nice having big scrollable folders.

All I jailbreak these days is my AppleTV, well worth doing and I will now be able to update to the latest version to get the new UI - the lack of untethered put me off upgrading until now.

v2.0.1 is out

 

[pumaz]

Not bothered at all about JB'ing my iPhone or New iPad but I really want to turn my useless ATV3 into an awesome XBMC box. Fingers crossed for a ATV3 Jailbreak

There are 100's of neat little tweaks that have nothing to do with Installous or breaking the law.

 

[Chris1712]

Anyone care to list the cool tweaks etc? First jailbreak here .

 

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]

Ugh can anyone actually use Cydia at all?

Tried on my iPad just now and no. Managed to get everything sorted on iPhone though.

Phone, ipod, ipad?

 

[Whoop]

Sooo I followed the instructions earlier, backed up, wiped the iPad and used the installer. Restored backup and it doesn't seem any different at all? Should I have anything in Settings or on home screen as some kind of clue?

 

[Andybtsn]

Cydia app should be on your Home screen?

 

[Whoop]

Cydia app should be on your Home screen?

Sadly it isn't, I'm gonna take a wild guess it timed out with the download or something and I missed it while painting my bathroom ceiling.

I'll wait till morning and re-run Absinthe I guess

 

[Jimbeam3678]

So once jail broke can you do a backup of that somehow? I'm guessing not through iTunes
