is this the dev-team 3gs jailbreak ???

[mdecker79]

After Purplera1n rc1 and rc2 I had some odd issues with my 3Gs..

For some reason my iPhone lost the 3G signal and I could not get it back. I had to turn off 3G via sbsettings and then airplane mode and then I got Edge back but not 3G.

I waited a good 30 min before I could turn my 3G antenna back on and then it worked. I had this happen two times to me once after rc1 and once after rc2.

I just ran redsn0w over purplera1n without a restore and so far it's worked fine although I had to reinstall everything I already installed via cydia.

What's the overall impression of JB1 & JB2?

 

[Dakotafan]

Do you know what your talking about? Winterboard works with purplerain cydia updated it today..

yes this does indeed work

ultrasn0w 0.8 worked on my iPhone 3GS

Thanks, that's all I needed to know. I'm gonna' do just that for my JB....

 

[pastrychef]

I purplera1n'ed so what's the diff between them? Do you have to restore to jail break with dev teams version ?

It turns out that redsn0w uses the same exploit as purplera1n. They just use different injection methods.

Good luck trying to see the Twitter MuscleNerd Blog. There's too many people online via Twitter......

Is the concensus that the redsn0w .8 works to jailbreak 3GS?

My MBP is hooked up to my 3GS and it's processing the Firmware as we speak...

Just used it. Easy and quick.

Youtube still works.


Is there a new mobilesubstrate file, and if so, where?

 

[Ungoliant]

Any word on when tricker3g or voipover3g will work on the 3gs?

It's under changes in cydia, click it then update it.

Just go to the purplera1n website and download the JB Exe. That will ebthe easiest for you if you don't know what your doing.

The best jailbreak is to download the 3.0 firmware via iTunes. I experience that redsn0w 0.8 got stuck on my 3GS on waiting for reboot. I pressed restore in iTunes and it was downloading, when the Extracting popup came I pressed cancel and copied the firmware downloaded by iTunes to my desktop.

Downloading from the apple site went wrong, but when I downloaded with iTunes it went ok.

To sum up what I did:

1. Have your iPhone on.
2. Open up iTunes.
3. Press restore, wait for it to finish downloading 3.0 firmware.
4. Press Cancel when it's extracting.
6. Enter DFU mode.
7. Locate the firmware downloaded by iTunes
8. Open up redsn0w and follow steps.

Make sure your iPhone is restored to the 3.0 firmware (make sure to restore to 3.0 if jailbroken before, like purlplera1n)

If any questions feel free to ask.

Purplera1n and Redsn0w are used to jailbreak iPhones. They both do the same thing using slightly different methods. Take your pick.

Ultrasn0w is used to unlock iPhones with firmware 3.0.

Yellowsn0w is used to unlock iPhones with firmwre 2.2.1.

may be about time to jailbreak

 

[Dunkan21]

i am about to jailbreak but i am not sure if i should install cydia or icy. Is it bad to install both? I have always used cydia and havent had any problems other than slow load times on my 3g. I have a 3gs now. Any recommendations?

 

[samtruong]

did jailbreaking make your 3GS a lot slower ?

 

[aldude]

did jailbreaking make your 3GS a lot slower ?

No. Tiny bit of lag here and there, but hardly noticeable. I have SBSettings, Five icon dock and Winterboard running too ;-)

 

[sneeks]

I found it caused some lag on my 3GS so I restored to stock firmware.

Was flawless using RedSn0w, I didn't lose anything...whole process took under 10 minutes...after installing stuff from Cydia, I reboot the iPhone. Now
just waiting for Tricker3G and/or Voip so I can start Slinging...
