Does iTunes 8.2.1 break both ways to jailbreak?

[yamaduc]

I'm interested in jailbreaking my 3GS but I'm running 8.2.1, does anyone know or has anyone tried jailbreaking with 8.2.1 installed?

Or does it matter?

Thanks

From some of the comments on page 1 it seems like it's ok to upgrade...but it's still early so I'd wait to be safe.

Thanks for the heads up

Seems to stop syncing..

EDIT: CORRECTION this did not break syncing for me. I did something stupid which I won't regale here.

I have an iPod Touch OS 3.0 (jailbroken) and it has stopped mine from syncing.. I will restore and see if it is repeatable later..

Watch here for the okay to upgrade. You don't want to upgrade anything before them saying it's okay and won't hurt the jailbreak.

Question: is this the first time apple has tried to stop the jailbreak from the iTunes side of things, i know firmware updates usually break them but i can't remember having to worry about iTunes.

Uninstall / delete itunes registry values for itunes.

After you uninstall and clear the registry you go find an older version of iTunes online then just install that

Yea, because my updates download automatically and I clicked install before looking to see what they were. Good job being a smart ass!

I haven't been able to find 8.2 for mac though. Closest i found was the 8.2 betas and those won't work properly either.

I updated to 8.2.1 and the jailbreak went perfect (using redsn0w .8)

So i just need to re-jailbreak on 8.2.1? It'll let me backup my phone before i restore right? thats been a problem too since I couldn't sync... Thanks.

I always set up as new since I use Windows Contacts.

 

[tomass389]

I'll set it up as new, but i just want it to sync the contacts so those will come back when i sync it

 

[ozzyman500]

Well if you're using Windows, you can use Windows Contacts and sync your contacts automatically every time you restore. No more worrying about back ups.
