Jailbroke an iphone 4 on 4.0.1 with the new method, after resetting all data and settings via the control panel the phone would not boot anymore, have to do a resotre in itunes via DFU mode 🙁

geekivan August 3, 2010, 6:11 pm

wielbark August 2, 2010, 4:50 pm

mdzago August 2, 2010, 8:03 pm

I’ve a 3GS 3.1.2 jailbroken and unlocked with BlachRa1n. May I update to 4.0.1 via iTunes and then use wi-fi to jailbrake and then unlock? After itunes update to 4.0.1 my phone wi-fi will work?(no need for activation?)

iPhoneHeat August 2, 2010, 9:28 pm

Did you read the NOTE?

mdzago August 3, 2010, 12:12 am

Yes, I saw the note, but my doubt is if I update firmware using iTunes in my 3GS I’ll need to activate it again, and if wi-fi also will work to use jailbreakme. Just this… 🙂

ijonk August 5, 2010, 7:09 pm

can u updated 4.0.1 and jailbreak your 3GS??
i have 3GS 3.13 and i want to update 4.0.1 firmware,,,
please tell me,,,thanks

al127 August 2, 2010, 9:12 pm

YAY !!! it worked on my 3gs 4.08A293 05.13.04 MC model
Ive been dying waiting for this !!
Thank you so much !!!

jolo August 2, 2010, 10:37 pm

I can not download the file no working please
Oops it looks like the installer crashed last time you tried to jailbreak it might work if you try again,,,,,,

robB August 2, 2010, 11:25 pm

The jailbreak was easy and quick, very nice job guys. Ive got some issues with it though. i have a 3Gs on 4.0.1, anything i download from cydia doesn’t work, it either messes up my springboard, or seemingly has no effect. for instance, five icon dock, five rows, shrink, ect ect and the biggest problem i have is when i try to download winterboard. are these issues just because the programs have not been updated to run on 4.0.1 yet?

taogenix August 3, 2010, 2:33 am

my 3gs running 4.0.1 also had a bit trouble after the jb, i deleted some apps including winterboard, five rows/dock etc. terminal seems not to be working too. but i have shrink and it works perfectly

robB August 3, 2010, 4:37 am

yeah, i think the apps just need to be updated to run on 4.0, i see some apps give warning that they dont run on it yet

bboy August 3, 2010, 12:31 am

Just have one question pls is it compulsory to restore to the Official firmware if you already on the official firmware 4.0 iPhone 4

iPhoneHeat August 3, 2010, 12:54 am

Nope

bigwly August 3, 2010, 4:01 am

Im getting a bad gatewat error when i load cydia? is this just the server being overload?

aozdemir August 3, 2010, 5:16 am

Thanks guys it worked great, I appreciate it

Lexus August 3, 2010, 7:07 am

Guys this works like a charm! Its so seamless even a 5 yr old kid can follow the steps. Great stuff!!!

Zerotronic August 3, 2010, 9:00 pm

Just tried this on newly bought 3Gs with already installed IOs4, with new bootrom (359.3.2), WITHOUT SHSH blobs on file and it worked like a charm. Untethered jailbreak 😀

If you just bought your 3gs, have a new bootrom and upgraded to IOs4 without keeping shsh blobs on file then this will work perfectly for you.

Comex, you are a god mate :D:D:D:D:D thank u thank u thank u

versetti August 3, 2010, 9:12 pm

all I can say this is super solution

zoey August 3, 2010, 11:20 pm

thankz alot dude. salamat

newmind August 4, 2010, 1:34 am

that is great news now if verizon would get of their ass and get the iphone under contract that would be the greatest news since sliced bread. come on verizon move your ass

lastdon August 4, 2010, 2:23 am

guysi had the jailbreak on my iphone4 with the 4.0 then i decidedto update to 4.0.1 my cydia gone so i have been trying since yesterday night to reload jailbreak but it starts to download the first part then goes back to iphone home no cythia any ideas as why for so long i cant get it on my phone? please help kind of worried now because i need to unlock it when its available.

mamoudm August 4, 2010, 9:22 pm

mohammadvinod August 4, 2010, 3:33 am

very good for 3gs neww boot rom thanks devolepers

Jho August 4, 2010, 7:52 am

I tried using the jailbreakme website and it doesn’t work for me. I have the iPhone 4 with software updated to 4.0.1 and even though it says it works for it, it doesn’t. It wont even let me slide the bar to jailbreak it. Anyone have solutions for that? I want to jailbreak it but looks like I may have to wait until they update it to jailbreak anything above a 4.0 software. I don’t think it works for software 4.0.1 at all so don’t update if you want to jailbreak ur phone

sowat99 August 4, 2010, 1:38 pm

@iphoneheat #iphoneheat mobileterminal is not compatible with iphone4 os4.0.1, i was suppose to change my root pass as soon as i jailbroke, i installed mobileterminal but unfortunately did not run. now my device is at risk with the default password. please give attention to this matter. hopefully it will be updated soon. thanks.

Zerotronic August 4, 2010, 7:48 pm

Mobileterminal in Cydia is not working with ios4. but you can still download an unstable but working release here
http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/downloads/list

then you can ssh it in your iphone at “/private/var/stash/Applications”. Make sure Terminal.app folder as well as every contained file and subfolder have {GROUP}admin:{OWNER}root and permissions [755]

I used that release to change my root pass

MINEFROZE August 4, 2010, 4:08 pm

Just did the jailbreak on my 3Gs and springboard keeps crashing!!! Everything I do causes apps to crash… if i go into search screen the whole phone crashes… HELP!!! PLS

Just jailbroke and unlocked my 3gs with 4.0.1 with 5.13 bootrom. Using Comex for jailbreak and ultrasn0w .93 for the unlock. Thanks to all those who can learn to do this stuff ha ha

i_hate_2_wait_without_soln August 7, 2010, 1:27 am

the jailbreak procees was done perfectly, now i have the cidia, but the unlock is still updating, i am still waiting for 90 min, on the screen there is downloading packages and it’s complete, but the next page didn’t load???

i_hate_2_wait_without_soln August 7, 2010, 3:54 am

the problem was solved, i reboot the device, then i entered to cidia, it completed the update, then i installed ultrasn0w and nowe it is unlock,

Ganesh August 7, 2010, 4:43 pm

@iphoneheat

I’m using iPhone 3G i have updated to 4.0.1 & jailbreaked with “Jailbreakme” . I found that multi tasking is not enable….!

Can u say me how to enable it (or) any other tools to jailbreak to enable multi tasking…..?

Zerotronic August 7, 2010, 11:22 pm

Multitasking is not enabled by default on the 3G. You have to alter a plist file in your phone.

After you jailbreak your phone install OpenSSH an then SSH into your phone using your favorite program (i like winscp since i am on windows)
Then navigate to “/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/” folder in your phone and find a file called “N82AP.plist” and copy it in your computer. open it with a plist editor of your choice. Then find “multitasking” (without quotes) and then change the value below that to “” (again without quotes). If you can’t find that line then you can add it yourself. Then save the file and SSH it back into your phone overwriting the old one in the phone. Reboot your device and try clicking Home button twice and see what happens

There is a nice tutorial here with pictures to explain how it is done:

Jailbrake 3gs 4.0 with new bootroom.
Thanks to all.

firepol August 14, 2010, 1:16 pm

Somebody knows where the hell is the “make my life easier” button in Cydia? Just jailbroke my iphone following this guide. Then entered Cydia, as “Expert/Hacker” but I didn’t see any button or option with the “make my life easier”. This is damn important to backup your SHSH and to be able in the future to restore to 4.0.1 in case something goes wrong… thanks for sharing a solution for this.

freecaster117 August 14, 2010, 7:37 pm

this one is very clear and easy to use, i had i find out myself but it had been easy with this tutorial, nice job

After jailbreaking my iphone 4 (4.0.1), through jailbreakme.com, itunes 9.2.1.5 no longer sync’s anything. When i try syncing, it goes through the usual backup and then tries to sync but then just completes half way through without syncing anything.

Anyone else facing the same problem or know how to fix this issue?

thanks.

Hello, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, wonderful blog!

Many thanks for your time and effort to have put these things together on this blog site. Robin and i also very much liked your input through the articles in certain things. I am aware that you have several demands in your timetable therefore the fact that a person like you took as much time as you did to steer people just like us by way of this article is also highly treasured.
