Be true goddammit

So I take it that it is safe to update the new iPad to 5.1.1 and be able to jailbreak, right?

I'm anxious to jailbreak my iPhone for the first time....

But my brother in law said he has read that jailbreaking can cause issues with GameCenter-does anyone know of anything like this?

What sorts of issues? I haven't heard or run into any problems with Game Center

Never heard of anything like that and I've been jailbreaking my iPod Touch 4G since Game Centre came out.

I'll hold off on updating to 5.1.1 until the jailbreak is out and we can get confirmation. Hopefully by Tuesday we'll have something.

Can't get it working, it goes through all the process but no copy of Cydia appearing on my home screen. Using an iPod Touch 4G which is listed as a compatible device /sadpanda

 

[AndTAR]

So long, my streak!

 

[planar1280]

is this for iPhone 3GS as well?

 

[Shaneus]

What benefits are there to upgrading to 5.1.1 over 5.0.1?

And if I'm not with the PC I usually sync to, am I boned until I get to the one I *am*?

Same here ..... its not working.

 

[Lace]

Not sounding like the greatest start for this release. I'm thinking about holding off till later today to see if issues continue now.

 

[Kareha]

Reading a reddit posting atm, seems it works for some but not others.

Jailbreaking has not, in the past, caused issues with GameCenter.

Piracy has, in the past, caused issues where GameCenter goes into Sandbox mode.

If it is the case that a jailbreak, on its own, causes GC issues, it can be discussed here. Otherwise, the conversation ends now.

 

[Treefingers]

Yea not working for me. Feels bad

 

[Pachimari]

How do I see if mine is iPhone2,1 – 3,1 – 3,3 – 4,1?

I have a launch iPhone 4.

iPhone 4 (non-Verizon) is 3,1, Verizon is 3,3

 

[butter_stick]

Trying it on iPad 3, I get to "Waiting for process to complete" and nothing seems to happen. Sad face.

 

[Blackhead]

ipad 3 4g. no jailbreak yet

 

[ant3b]

It works fine on IPAD 3

Just erase all contents after a backup and then do it

 

[SuicideUZI]

For anyone who can't get it to work on a pre-A5 device you can jailbreak tethered with redsn0w then install the "rocky raccoon" package from Cydia to make it untethered

 

[Blastoise]

Worked for my iPad 3. I didn't even restore it, just plugged it in and it took around 10 minutes.

 

[Detox]

I tried it enters waiting for process to complete... and then recovery completed but not jailbroken tried a couple of times

 

[Jburton]

I am hearing a possible fix is to restore your device via DFU mode or through iTunes (instead of running an erase through your device setting menu) and then running the jailbreak.

Quite a few are reporting this fixes the issue, running a restore through itunes now (iPad 2 wifi).

Will report back.

 

[noah111]

Updating my iPhone 4 to 5.1.1 right now. Then an iPad 1, iPod 3G, three iPod 4G's, another iPhone 4, and then iPad 3 next week. Hopefully it's all smooth sailing.

Perfect. I have no intent of pirating any iOS apps-to me that's just the lowest of low. I just don't want my high scores and/or achievements to be broke! Thanks for the advice!

Oh yeah baby that shit works.

That's what I did. I'll try the alt method tonight.

 

[Treefingers]

Man I forgot about Cydia being useless right after a jailbreak is released. I just want my Zephyr

Edit: Ah seems fine now

 

[MiloFoxburr]

Worked for my iPad 3. I didn't even restore it, just plugged it in and it took around 10 minutes.

Same, didn't bother with backup/wipe and it jailbroke fine.

 

[EleventhDoctor]

Is there a Cydia for Dummies article? This will be my first time jail breaking.

 

[Jafku]

Worked for my ipad 3 using the reddit method.

 

[Kareha]

Got it working finally on my iPod Touch 4G. Previously I had used the OTA to update to 5.1.1, but someone on Reddit mentioned that they did a full restore via iTunes and downloaded the full iOS 5.1.1 to restore from. So I did that, ran Absinthe again and voila, it's worked

 

[Bossniak]

Getting message "something went wrong" on Iphone 4 5.1.1 reset everything and didn't jailbreak before.

Did you do an OTA update to 5.1.1 of your phone, that seems to be what's causing the issues atm. If so try this:

* Connect your device to iTunes.
* Put your device into DFU mode (press Sleep and Home button together for ten seconds, release Sleep button and hold Home button until message appears).
* Restore your device from DFU mode.
* Run Absinthe.

I made a backup and is now restoring my iPhone through iTunes, but it's weird it's downloading firmware 5.1.1 again, even though it's already installed on the phone itself.

I have quite a few of these myself, but some i'm unfamiliar with. Wonder which of these you all use as well so I can go scavenging for new quality stuff without individually searching each one.

 

[giga]

Think I might just wait for redsnow to be updated. Absinthe always gives me problems.

 

[SuicideUZI]

Think I might just wait for redsnow to be updated. Absinthe always gives me problems.

same here, when I first jailbroke my 4S with Absinthe after about 2 weeks the phone was literally unusable, the only way I could send texts was the quick compose feature of BiteSMS. Every app I tried to open just crashed immediately. So I restored to 5.0.1 and when redsn0w finally was updated to support 4S I jailbroke again and havent had a single problem. I'll be waiting for redsn0w

 

[pulga]

So, if my 4S is already running the 5.0.1 JB, is it safe to download the 5.1.1 update and then JB it again?

Edit: Also, what happens to all my Cydia apps? Do I have to redownload them again after the new JB? Is there an easy way to back them up?

Seemed to work. Thanks!

I'm really curious about adding Siri to the new iPad. I wonder if I should try and do what was done for the iPad 2 or wait until a few other people have done it.
