push works but banner notification does not. Seems like the developer put in a quick fix and put the old sparrow push back in to tide us over. His twitter suggests that the next update should include the banner notification as well as other updates too.

Can you link his twitter?

iconic jailbroke 5.1.1 on the new iPad

Still no release. Pod2G is working hard

 

[RukusProvider]

No clue what on the ipad I would like a Jailbreak for but this is good news.

he's @freemanrepo.

He fixed the banner notifications. You can get it on his repo if you add the source freemanrepo.com/repo

So annoyed. We live outside the USA, and when AT&T announced they were unlocking ex-contract iPhones, we called up and submitted our IMEI's. 3 weeks later, they email us "No valid current or former mobile/account number associated with request.". Messaging the people we got the phones from, we get no reply

Not such a big deal for me because I'm on gevey sim so my phone is usable, but my wife's iPhone is on a later baseband that can't be unlocked. We were so sure we were getting unlocked by AT&T (because everyone else was) we didn't use the SAM exploit. Now we're back to square one.

Is still doesn't work well enough. It has notifications but they don't show up in the notification center.

Just found out the only way to change my new iPad's TTL is through jailbreak and I'm pretty bummed considering how long we had to wait for the iOS 5 Jailbreak. Also, can someone explain to me the benefits of jailbreaking the Apple TV? I just got one up and find it very frustrating that I can't stream a number of videos without first changing the format. Does the jailbreak allow the Apple TV to play more file types?

yes but not through the official dashboard or whatever you want to call it of the Apple TV. You would need to install something on it like XBMC which is a full blown media player in itself that natively supports almost any format you can throw at it, but if you use stuff like netflix on your AppleTV you would have to keep switching back and forth between xbmc and the official dashboard

Does switching back and forth entail much more than a simple reboot? I do use Netflix, but if it's too much of a hassle, I'll just use it exclusively on the Wii or another system.

No need to reboot. Just exit XBMC.

I'm mad I updated my iPad 2 to 5.1.0. The wait is agonizing! Is there an ETA on a JB solution?

 

[Dwayne]

pod2g has something in the brew that is about a month away.

What am I supposed to do with the Dreamboard website? It doens't show me the names or information on any of themes...

I'm going to jailbreak as soon as it comes out.

I dunno if this works, but you might be able to downgrade?

edit, you might need the encryption blobs or whatever it's called tho

 

[NathanMcMahon]

Damn, I'm heading overseas for two months and need a jailbreak for 5.1 on my 4S. Hopefully it comes soon.

Few weeks away apparently. Sounds more like you need an unlock solution though?

I thouhgt I needed to jailbreak and then unlock? Am I wrong?

 

[Dwayne]

Depends on the unlock method. Your only choice is the Gevey Ultra S, which doesn't require jailbreaking to unlock.

sweet, I'll check it out.

edit:
Looking at it, that seems to be a solid option for being able to use my phone overseas.

 

[NathanMcMahon]

So, I took the plunge and got the Gevey Ultra S for my GSM iPhone. Can anyone walk me through the procedure to use it? I'm pretty sure I need to actually buy another SIM card once I get overseas but I just wanted verification. Thanks.

Lots of scams on this area, gotta follow the proper sources like the devs themselves
, but not yet. Should be soon tho, maybe another month

If there were any news, then I'm sure you'd read them here first.

Probably not. It'd get mentioned here eventually but this thread isn't very active. If there were any news though, it'd be all over the usual tech blogs.

Ignoring the above posts: pod2g has successfully jailbroken his iPad 3 -

Hey. iPad 3,1 running iOS 5.1 untethered. Next on the list: stabilizing the payload, then trying 5.1.1.

Here's his website: http://pod2g-ios.blogspot.fr/
Tool for user jailbreaking is a couple of weeks away.

The switcher enhancement concept posted on the Verge have been turned into a JB tweak called Switchy;

[pistolpete2940]

I bought an iphone 4s 64gb which the seller claimed was verizon unlocked. I slide in my tmobile microsim and I keep getting SIM not valid. My friend's att sim worked fined. Any ideas?

 

[Dwayne]

Can check it's locked status on imei.info, I have no idea why it would be doing that, worth asking in the unlocking forum on modmyi.com.

 

[pistolpete2940]

Only thing i can think of is that it wasn't actually unlocked, in which case I'd have to do it myself. From what i understand 5.1.1 isnt unlockable correct? I'll have to use my friend's sim to check all that stuff :/

edit. checked on imei.info. apparently it's an att phone and its not unlocked :/

 

[Dwayne]

AT&T phones can be unlocked on any system software, but you have to get the previous owner to call AT&T.
Some details here:
http://osxdaily.com/2012/04/09/unlock-iphone-att/
Since then, they added the requirement for the account number. The phone has to be off-contract too (which I suppose it is).

Apple Starts Censoring The Word Jailbreak In iTunes (Even In Songs!)

...
It’s unclear whether Apple actually intended to filter this word, or whether it was simply a mistake. I guess we’ll find out over the course of the next few days.

Lol *smh*

No luck there, are there any other alternatives at the moment?

 

[Dwayne]

Gevey Ultra S is the alternative.

Nice. I want that better "slide up" quick camera launch. And Japanese Siri.

Still, it'll be nice to have on iPad.

Any day now, can't wait. Also just in time, getting the new iPad within a week.

What slide up camera are you talking about? I'm curious to see it.

 

[LyleLanley]

You can get the "slide up" camera with a jailbreak tweak.

 

[Mejilan]

Unfold. Cydia. Free. Download now, fools.
Very slick. Works fine with CameraGrabber, LockInfo, IntelliScreenX, etc.

The IntelliScreenX stays on top after unfolding :/ There's two layers to my lockscreen, if you get what I mean.

Edit: Nevermind, fixed it. Pretty slick.

 

[Nemo]

Awesome, can't wait. Hopefully it hits before the weekend!

 

[BocoDragon]

What slide up camera are you talking about? I'm curious to see it.

The last method to access the camera was to double click the button and a camera icon appeared beside the lockbar.

Now, there is a permanent camera icon next to the lock bar. You just touch on it and slide upward to pop open the camera.

You can get the "slide up" camera with a jailbreak tweak.

That is good to know, if all else fails.. But I suppose with the jailbreak right around the corner for 5.1.1, I'll just wait for that.

Swipe Safari is fucking great. Just got it, along with GridTab it makes Safari the best browser on my iPhone. No need for Atomic or any of that other shit. Definitely recommend it.
