Having trouble getting into the BigBoss repo in Cydia with this jailbreak. What is the exact URL?

Thank you guys for all the hard work and times.

im having trouble connecting to the bigboss repo as well. any tips? :P

You never add those repos. Things are just busy and you may have some timeouts until things calm down a bit.

me too.. any ideas?

ok, thats what i thought. ill just go to bed and try tomorrow again :B
thanks!

i can confirm it is working yes comex!!! you are the man

sorry thats 25-30min

@comegox
To clarify: You jailbreak, open iTunes, right-click on your device in the side panel and select ‘Restore from Backup…’ and pick one…

source: Twitter; 3 minutes ago…

Click on exit safemode and click restart

Thanks! I can’t believe how simple this is.

thanks dev team and comex, but nothing works, nothing from cydia is compatible, it sucks. hopefully it will get better. but awesome tool non the less

I Just updated to 4.0.1 and jailbroke and i lost facetime and mms

Damn comex your THE man, at first i wasnt sure of doing it, but i disided a few days ago, but when i reserched, i couldent do it, i upgraded to 4.0 the day it was relesed, YOUR grate i just donated to your web pge!!!!

How do I reboot in recovery mode so i can start fresh?? any help?? Looks like I have a brick…. apple logo for about 40mins, not good!

the great comex god of jailbreaking has proved him self thnxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx comex cant express

Typing this via ssh:

chmod 0755 /var/mobile && chmod 0755 /var/mobile/Library && chmod 0755 /var/mobile/Library/Preferences

Then reboot, then enable facetime in phone settings. Worked GREAT! Thanks!

I have the same issue!!! Any ideas.

Yup, mine is on a restart loop every 5mins… for the last hour!

Also, I’m on an ITouch 3g, OS 4.0

I love when people who say “WTF” have extreme problems in life. LOL

how do I unlock my iPhone 4.01 once it is jailbroken?

Read comment #24 above before posting the same question.

Hey Jim look at comment 34… I think you’ll like it! lol

hey for those of you stuck on the boot logo, open itunes and connect your phone. then restart using home and power button, once the apple goes away, let go of the power button and keep holding the home button. a restore screen should show up.

Jailbreak doing Good … But after some manipulation ,a popup said Exit safe mode ( To restart the springboard ). When a clic to restart .. This is take about 3 minutes. After i slide to unlock and the same popup come back and did it again and again.
What i can do for this ???

Thanks to Comex and all Dev-team.
I’M on Ipod 2G ( Mc Model )

It doesnt work and when I go back to try again, it says it looks like the inslaller crashed and to try again. Is there something Im doing wrong that I can easily fix?

I am using a iPod Touch 3G 64GB that i recently got and for some reason, everytime i load up the site, it just loads for two seconds then crashes. I haven’t had a successful run yet, but can anyone just confirm that its not just me? thanks in advance =]

I have a iPad Wifi 3.2.1 and I also get the Safari background only when attempting a jailbreak via jailbreakme.com

Any ideas?

(this worked great on my iPhone 4)

Ok make sure your iPhone isn’t connected to iTunes when you run the jailbreak.
I had no problems once I turned iTunes off.

i did it correctly, but everytime i try to restore via itunes i got 3014 error
help

i have the same thing for like 4 time now!!!

i think too much ppl are using it.

im having the same problem! even waited an hour to try again thinking the server just has too many people on it…still giving me the purple screen. maybe try later at night to see if it works.

Hi BigBoss, I wanna ask, I went to the jailbreakme.com on my safari but it just shows a purple screen thats all, any solution to this problem? Am using a iPhone 3GS version 4.0.1

restore to 4.0.1 then reset network settings then go to safari and put his in jailbreakme.modmyi.com

Absolutely do not use the modmyi.com link. It’s older and the updates are not happening there. Only use jailbreakme.com.

The whole iPad, iPhone and ipod users of the world owe you more that you can imagine. I just want to say thank you very much and I will be making a donation. Good luck in your next in endeavor.

Hey, I Have a ipod 2nd gen i try jailbreakme.com it keep showing purple screen i already clear my cookies and cache and it still wont work

Got the same, with my second device, i’d tried the following and it worked :

.
.
.
7) Settings > Reset > “Reset all Settings”

afterwards it worked well :-)

Yes im using wifi

np :D

Thank you SO much for all this help.

Jailbreakme worked fine except for a broken FaceTime on 4.0 so I updated to 4.0.1 and now Jailbreakme won’t work. It stays on the purple screen forever no matter how many times I clear the cache and restart safari. Any help is appreciated. I’ll try again tomorrow.

so how….. stuck on purple screen

I have à 3GS on 4.0. Is it ok to jailbreak now and update to 4.0.1 tomorrow. I don’t have my computer with me so I can’t update to 4.0.1. But I really would like to try the jailbreak right away.

i have ipod 2nd gen , mc model, its on 4.0

I give up this does not work

Ooopppps….Sorry DuDes This does work…

Jailbreaking right now…sit tight

Maybe the server is just busy and congested.

i have successfully jailbroken my iPod Touch 3G with iOS 4

worked for me too

I was stuck at the galaxy screen (3GS 4.0.1) until after the “Reset All Settings” trick was tried.
Then it downloaded
Then I sat tight
Then Cydia was back !!!
Upgraded all and installed sbsettings
Phone calls work
TXT works
MMS works
Thank you comex and all associated.
Once I get paid, whats an appropriate donation ?
Thank you !

Help for guys with iPhone 3GS and 4.0.1 and stuck with Galaxy Purple Screen:

1- From Settings -> Safari -> Set Accept Cookies to NEVER
2- Turn OFF pop-up blocker
3- Follow the steps above by BigBoss

And it will work for you !!!

I have exact same problem. It worked when I was on 4.0, but after upgrade to 4.0.1 safari keeps crashing after jailbreak is downloaded. :(

Worked first time following original instructions above (was on 3GS IOS 4.01 (non JB)).

Great work, thanks guys!

yes! jus’t did it!

Use a custom F/W or make your own. You must have allready used a custom F/W or your BB would be 5.11.07 and not 04.26.08 If you use iTunes to update you’ll lose your 04.26.08 DON’T DO IT
Why do you have to update, it will give you nothing you can’t allready get through Cydia. And as far as I know most people who are rolling their own F/W are disabling apples attempt at multitasking anyway, and there are tutorials on how to do it on devices with 4.X allraedy installed. Your choice. I’m on 3.1.2 and staying where I am untill there is something offered by apple that I want, and Cydia can’t provide. Like sure thats going to happen. Good Luck.

Got it to work, Maybe this will help others:

I had my iPhone 3GS Jailbroken on 4.0 with PwnageTool 4.01, then updated to my iPhone 3GS to 4.0.1 via iTunes 9.2.1 (4). I “THINK” that upgrading from a Jailbroken FW to 4.0.1 OFW was my problem.

I restored my iPhone to factory settings via iTunes, restored from a back up, cleared my network settings, cleared cookies and cache in Safari, cookies set to “never”, pop-up blocker “off”, closed Safari.

Then I went to jailbreakme.com and had no problems AT ALL.

I hope that helps, I had to jump threw a few hoops and try multiple times to get this right, But it can be done iPhone 3GS users!

How long does it take to download. Mines stuck and then it says the file has been trunated something or other.
Im using iphone 4 4.0.1 by the way

Worked for me!
3G + OS 4.01

Then operator unlock with UltraSn0w.

So what; a webapp can just manipulate the kernel on demand?

What’s really going on here? Can any website turn my device into a drone if it wants to? Does this jailbreak method close the hole it uses after completion? Where can I learn about what’s really going on here?

it worked for me I`m on 3gs with 4.0.1 update with new comex jb and ultrasn0w unlock and I bought my iphone in US , now I`m in Europe , no problems at all :)

Work Perfect.

New Bootrom 3GS. use the above trick and works in under 3 mins.

1- From Settings -> Safari -> Set Accept Cookies to NEVER
2- Turn OFF pop-up blocker
3- Follow the steps above by BigBoss

my safari always crash as soon as i slide for jailbreak???

Waaaaa finally come out. And it work. Thxxxx

Safari was just crashing, i upgraded to ios 4.0.1 and everything works.

BTW Thank you Comex the rest of the crew, Big Boss and Saurik.

Is the jailbreak tethered like previous ones? I have 3rd gen 32 gb iPod touch and when I used blackra1n on 3.1.2 it was tethered……yuck…

Return your stolen phone asshole.

@BigBoss or anyone :

What to do to use the iPhone 4 on Tmobile USA
??????? Since iPhone 4 has a micro sim.
Is anyone found a way to cut the sim ????

Please answer ….

Iphone 3gs 4.0.1 jailbreaked Yesterday with this app, When iám using cydia to download some themes, some of the icon´s will not change with the rest of themes ex. phone icon, camera m.m.

Why?????

I have an unlocked/unjailboken iPhone3GS 3.1.3. now I am stucked to itunes logo and cable. I don’t have an official simcard. I tried updating to 4.0 but I keep receiving errors in my itunes 9.0. Do I need to update my itunes prior to updating to 4? please help. Thank you!

There is a solution. Use a friends AT&T sim. Or you can get a phone book sim from AT&T. This will allow u to activate.

Why dont you PURCHASE iFile instead? That way you will be entitled to upgrades that DO work…

thanks!

Literally took 3 minutes to JB + reboot. So far no issues

Hi guys,

Just got my iPad 3G jailbroken, at a second attempt.
Managed to download and install SBSettings to check it was working fine.
But at the starting screen, the one with the white apple logo, I got 2 one-pixel lines of about 2 inches each, full of colored pixels, like a rainbow. Vertical orientation, right side of the screen above the middle of it.
Tried to reboot but problem persists and have re-done the JB.
any suggestion?

Thanks for the jailbreak it works great and I didn’t loose anything.

I have rebooted several times. No luck.

how do i add winterboard onto my cydia? it doesnt come up when i search for it in cydia.

hi all,

got a 3gs 3.1.2 using the blackra1n jailbreak. Can i just run this jailbreakme, then upgrade to 4.0.1?

Yes, Erica Sadun at the TUAW blog has a post on how to cut a standard SIM down to micro size.

Help me please. I feel like a total schmuck for not being able to jailbreak my iPhone 4 (4.0.1). I’ve done everything everybody has said to do when using jailbreakme.com. It “downloads” and then crashes. Every time. Please help me!

I found that if you don’t type the www just
http://jailbreakme.com works perfectly
I did it on many devices and not one single problem. I did a iPhone 3g 4.0I, iPod 2g MC and iPhone 3gs 4.0.1

I have one line during start up iPhone when is apple icon apper 3GS os 4.0.1

No problem for me. Keep up the good work n thanks.
:)

JUST PERFECT!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT… ONE BETTER THAN SPIRIT… THANKS FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT…

the jailbreakme.com is an untethered jail break you can turn it on and off as you wish they i did notice on my ipod 2g that the boot screen has some pixels (in a line) above the apple logo but still boots fine and goes away after boot (not a big deal).

the exploit used by jailbreakme.com uses a PDF with a corrupted font to crash and gain access to root this hole maybe also be used by hackers to gain access to your device so watch out for PDF’s.

is there any alternate way ??? i dont have internet on my iphone.. so any pc based JB for iPhone 3gs 4.0 Newbootrom??

First of all Thank you to Comex and Bigboss for this jailbreak. I, JB my iphone 3gs 32gb factory unlocked, 2 days back within 5 minutes. No problem at all. But I have noticed Bosspaper does not work and if winterboard theme is on then the dock icons go up. Pls advice is it normal or not. Thank you.

What is mms and facetime?
i did the jailbreak and everything works fine.
but then again i have no idead what everyone is talking about.

short update, everything worked great with the restore method, them jb’d my 3gs and in the end i did use the restore from backup. So far so good. Although i find with the ios 4.01 software that my wifi bars don’t all show up. not sure if this is carrier or software issue. Thanks for your advice.

Doesn’t work on my iPod 2g 3.1.3
when I slide
it shows a loading icon on da top but
it just crashes and restarts

aweosme guys….thanks for the jailbreak of iOS4……helped me a lot….thanks again

Why can’t i get Winterboard????

I had that problem. Finally got mine to jailbreak but now it’s in safe mode.
Have you tried restarting it? A hard restart? and then try to jailbreak again.

Question: I have itunes 9.0.2.25 installed in my PC. When i plugged-in my phone OS4.0.1 is says “The iPhone cannot be use because it requires iTunes versiom 9.2 or later. Do i have to update iTunes? Is this safe for my other 3GS 3.1.3? Thank you.

I used jailbreakme to jb my 3GS on 4.0. then i updated to 4.0.1 and have to jb again. but now when i try to jb, i get to the “sit tight” message and safari quits/crashes.

i manually quit safari, cleared all cookies/cache/history and rebooted, but safari still crashes when i get to the “sit tight” part.

anyone have a solution?

I am constantly amazed at the number of Americans who do not know how to spell simple words correctly, have poor grammar to boot and yet think that they are better than the British, Russians, Latinos, Asians and everyone else.

A case in point is this post number 22 with exemplary atrocious spelling:

(i) wrong use of “your”. That should be spelt “you’re” because it is a contraction of “you are”.

(ii) “disided” – you mean “decided”

(iii) “reserched” – that should be “researched”

(iv) “couldent” – that should be spelt “couldn’t” (a contraction of “could not”)

(v) “relesed” – that should be “released”

(vi) “YOUR grate” – this takes the cake…it should be “YOU’RE great”, unless you’re asking him about the grilled cover over the drain in front of his driveway.

No wonder China is America’s biggest creditor today. When representatives of an English-speaking nation can’t speak or write proper English, it proves their country’s heydey is over.
Inevitably, the Yuan will dethrone the Dollar as the world’s preferred currency (just like the USD did to the British Pound) and bankrupt Uncle Sam will be working for the CCP…

Yes¡
does not work in 4.0, only in 4.0.1
So restoring to 4.0.1, then get airplane mode inmediatelly. Just configure safari without blocking windows and set cookies to all.
Salutes.

i have my ipod 3g already jailbroken with 3.2.1 version, but i wan tto upgrade to 4.0.1
how i can do that?

i downloaded: iPod3,1_4.0_8A293_Restore.ipsw and press shift to restore button in itunes, but an error appear

please your help

I have version 4.1 can it be jailbroken yet

error 0XE8008001

question, why doesn’t the bigboss and modmyi repo appear when editing sources in Cydia (of course after doing the jailbreak)

On mine it says version too new. Retarded

Looks like a new jail break is out from these guys. Simple and easy web based jailbreak for 4.3.3.
If you are in Australia or Perth in particular, check out the articles and unlocking guides on this website. They normally do iPhone repairs but there are some guides to free unlocks, turns out your carrier will often unlock your iPhone for free.

I will try this and I will update you soon how it goes.

My favorite Disney Channel Movie is Cadet Kelly.Why are people answering with shows? “Shake It Up”, “So Random” those are shows.
