For users having no service after using sbsettings on your 5.x CDMA device, it is not caused by sbsettings but instead by the 3g toggle.

To fix it:
1) Disable the 3g toggle in the more app (don’t use it)
2) go to settings, general, reset, and reset your network settings.
3) Reboot.

I am pushing a new sbsettings with a 3g toggle that should detect and not run on CDMA. I don’t have a 4s on CDMA so I can only test my iphone 4 Verizon which it seems to work ok there.

Note: The greenpois0n website is too busy and down at the time of this writing. Wait and be patient.

Today, Chronic dev released Greenpois0n for your A5 devices (iPhone 4s and ipad 2). You can now do an untethered jailbreak on these devices assuming you are running either 5.0 or 5.0.1. If you are not running those FW versions, get onto one ASAP before Apple closes the update window and releases 5.1. As soon as Apple releases 5.1, you can expect that you cannot restore 5.0.1 again and unless you’re already on 5.0.1 you will be unable to jailbreak.

To jailbreak, just download the jailbreak app from greenpois0n web site (called “absinthe”), and run it. At the moment it is released only for OSX (Mac) but will soon have a windows version followed later today.

A short word on how the JB will work. You will attach your device to your mac, run the app, and wait. When it tells you to do something on your device, you can disconnect it and go run the web link “absinthe”. This will attempt to contact the greenpois0n web site and finish the jailbreak. The jailbreak will be completed when the device resprings and you find cydia. If the greenpois0n web site is down when you try to run the icon on the device, instead you can go to settings, vpn, and click “on”. The error “A configuration error occurred” should appear, shortly after the device should respring jailbroken.

Note: for those having problems, these steps worked for me on my “stubborn” device:
1) After the JB fails to do anything, reboot the iphone
2) Close absinthe on your mac
3) Rerun absinthe and it should detect the device and say that it noticed a jailbreak attempt failed and say it has “recovered”.
4) Reboot the device again, and close absinthe again
5) Rerun the jailbreak tool, it will rerun as it did in the first place.
6) After it’s done and says to tap the “jailbreak icon” do not do that! Instead go to your device, load settings, and click the “vpn” setting to “on”. Wait. The device should pop up and error and then respring about 30 seconds after the error.
7) If the device never resprings in step 6, repeat the steps above again until it works.

FullScreen for iPad – the popular tweak which not only offers a full screen mode for safari but also adds new gestures – is finally ready for iOS5.

Apple is due to release 5.1 soon. When that happens, they will stop signing 5.0.1. This means you will only be able to restore to 5.1. 5.1 breaks the upcoming jailbreak. If you are currently a 4s owner or an ipad 2 owner, you will want to get your device to 5.0.1 ASAP. This way [...]

Music Controls Pro just got another update, and with it, I’m pushing the reset buttons on the five-day trials! So come back and see what’s new!

So what is new?

• AVRCP v1.3 integration. Track info from third-party apps can finally be shown on compatible Bluetooth displays!
• Notification Center plugin for Controls. This shows you your track info, including artwork. Swipe control integration makes it slim and compact, or, you can select a larger format from settings.
• Notification Center plugin for Volume/Brightness. This control offers a switchable slider, as well as a button for quickly changing your output source.

I know many of you love your ringtones but with the current way the ringtones on the iPhone work, when downloading any third party tones directly onto your phone you have to redownload those tones if you ever need to restore your device and as jailbreakers this happens often. To fix this UnlimTones now has [...]

There is now an untethered jailbreak for everyone not on an iPhone 4s or ipad 2 for 5.0.1. If you are on 5.0.1, you can apply it via Cydia by installing “Corona 5.0.1 Untether”. Alternatively, you can install it with the latest redsn0w. If you are on 5.0, you will have to restore to 5.0.1 first, then you can jailbreak untethered via redsn0w.

The traffic for cydia repositories is huge right now. So if you get any errors related to installation of package, I suggest you try later (or a few days later).

iPhone 4s / iPad 2 jailbreak to follow in a bit. No one has an answer as to when so don’t bother asking.

Finally, if you have semitethered installed, you should probably uninstall it via cydia once you are untethered. It is no longer necessary.
