I REALLY want to jailbreak my iPhone 4 that I got about a month ago...but I'm still not really seeing any major benefits to it. Sure, some apps seem great (intelliscreen X really catches my eye), but most of the ones I have seen cost $10 or so each..minus a few really nice apps, that may cost more, is there any other major reason to jailbreak?

No word on the 4S being broken yet?

If these groups really do have completed jailbreaks, why not release them? What's the point in holding out unless they're lying for attention?
Umm.. If you decide to read the sources you'll quickly realize that he wants to test them on devices before he releases them and he still has a few devices left to test..

Has a software unlock for baseband 4.10.01 been released yet? This blog suggests there is, but iclarified.com tutorials seem to indicate to the contrary.
Fix your link.

Done, thx.
Best fucking news I've hear in a long time. Can't wait until this comes out.

Not that much, will just enable Siri files to be available easier, not that much help with jb
As a 4 owner I would like this very much
Indeed, I miss a few things from JB that I would really like to integrate into the new Notification bar now that we have it, but being able to use Siri too would be awesome on top of everything else.
Is the untethered iOS 5 jb out yet or what? It's been a while.. This will be my first JB ever, looking forward to trying some shit out.
Just for clarification though, when I JB, NOTHING is different (performance, default apps etc) if I just leave it that way, right? The option is there if I want to tinker, but I don't have to. Correct?

Does anyone know of any iOS 5 jailbreak software that will display icons in the status bar when you have an email, missed call, etc? I used to use something called Notifier but it crashes on iOS 5.
The easiest way to describe it is that it gives you Administrator access to your phone. Everything looks, stays and functions the same.
For me, I want my phone JB because there's some minor annoyances I have with iOS. The fact that I can't install apps over 20MB on my 3G connection, having to type my password in every time I open the market to download an app, just to name a few.
Every time I access the app store to download an app, I get prompted for my password. As long as I leave the app store open, I can download as many apps as I want. If I close it, the next time I open it, I get prompted again. To me, that's annoying.
I switched from android to iOS, and it's little things like this that annoy me. Jailbreaking my phone lets me fix them.
That is great news.. I've been holding off that Iphone 4 purchase waiting for this!
For the most part. In the past there's been a couple of glitches (that later have been fixed) such as broken gps, broken ibooks, etc.
So if you want to be cautious (and patient), wait a couple of days after it comes out to see if anyone is having any problems.

So I have a friend who is trying to unjailbreak their iphone (long story). They are one 4.3.5 How do I do it without upgrading? I keep getting the 3194 error while trying to restore in itunes. I've done it once already, but it took forever and I can't remember how I finally did it in the end. All the suggestions I've found online have lead me nowhere.
What iphone model?
jailbreak (currently tethered only. the new exploit by pod2g should get 4.4.3 untethered when released): http://blog.firecore.com/5180

It's a 4. Just got it. Once again, I'm not sure what I did, but eventually got the error to stop popping up. Edited the hosts file like a billion times. Probably was just typing something wrong. But, yeah we're good now. Hope my friend won't be dumb enough to jailbreak it again 'cause I warned her not to last time since she's using the gevey sim card on 4.3.5.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I'm using gevey on 5.0. Just update without updating the baseband. Check out redsn0w.

But, their site says it doesn't work on 5.0? Or is that just because of the baseband? Fucking crazy. I'm having trouble getting it to work. It took me like a million tries last time too though before it finally worked. May as well go to 5.0 and try it there. Thanks.
EDIT: Custom IPSW not available in Windows. So I guess that means that's a no go?

ok so i've recently acquired an iphone 3gs, erm i almost bricked the thing by trying to downgrade the firmware from 4.3.5 to something lower in order to jailbreak. but its fine now so yeh.
now its on 4.1 ios. the baseband/modem version is 5.16.02.
is there no way of jailbreaking it now without ruining the gps functionality? (i'd quite like the gps on it tbh)

The A5 is in the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2, and yea, sounds like they don't want to push it out the door till they sort out A5 devices and iOS 5.1 hits so as not to get blocked I guess.
Personally I was hoping it would hit before Christmas.
The quote says, "release the A4 jb ASAP". Sounds like they do want to push it out the door.

The jailbreak devs are the most annoying bunch of cunts I've ever paid attention to. It's always the same story, "don't wanna burn an exploit! gotta wait months with a usable jailbreak before releasing it!" Fuck off. You're a hacker. Hack the next fix when that comes out. I was so happy when Geohot fucked them on the 4.0 or whichever it was.

Tag quote? I mean, it's not like you're paying for it. What good is a hack, when it's closed faw days later?
Isn't that a bit ungrateful seeing as they're doing a service for you that you can't do yourself and giving it out for free?
Just wait ffs
edit: sorry if sarcasm

Don't update to the next firmware? Apple can't just flash everybody's iPods with a fix remotely.
Look, I recognize I'm not paying for it, but their mentality makes no sense. My impression of hackers has always been that they enjoy breaking things and figuring out how they work. These guys come off less as hackers than people who appear like they are forced to do this and want to make it as easy as possible.
BTW, my iPod isn't even hacked right now. I'm not really receiving a service from these guys. I'm just stating an opinion on something that I follow out of interest.

Most of them started out doing this stuff as fun and now its expected of them. They probably feel the pressure of peoples expectations. You come off as a little entitled bitch with your whining. In no way do they even need to release it to the public, if it was for personal enjoyment they could just do it for there own fun and amusement and completely exclude you and everyone else from it.
Called it:
So it's your fault then!
That would be a negative, sir.
Damn shame, it's been more than a week of 'any day now'...

Are they going to release the A4 exploit before the A5 one?
My guess is yes, but not before 5.1 comes out.. which I have no idea when that is.
