Tried using the personal hospot but a msg pops up telling meto contact fido. Guess we have to pay for it?

Also. I'm glad they FINALLY put scrubbing into videos. They had it for audio before I didn't get why they didn't have it for video. It's much more useful for videos anyway

4.3.1 from 4.0.1 is great... I'm loving it. Haven't encountered any problems yet besides the "Low Battery" message.. Says i have 543000000% left lol

As for the tethering, get "TetherMe" from Cydia. It's legit and Rogers/Fido allows tethering if you have data.

Ok, so far i set redsnow to Windows XP and 2000 mode and it still crashes. I even set the CPU 01 uncheck and it still crashes. Anyone else on Vista here trying to jailbreak having crashing issue?

Is there an alternative to redsnow?

I'm on Windows 7 and have the same problem.... gonna try that "set affinity" thing


EDIT: First I ran redsn0w as administrator... didn't work. I couldn't even access the set affinity menu as administrator.
Ran it as normal and unchecked CPU 0 in "set affinity" and it works!

i don't think that's normal; altho i don't quite understand what you described. what is it that you did i.e. d/l what right stuff??

i updated 2 ipod touch 4g's last night to 4.3.1 using pwnagetool and it was a breeze.

i mean i know i downloaded the right firmware and ipsw

i followed every step until redsn0w says that i have to wait for it to reboot. when it reboots though it gets stuck on a blank white screen :s

Guys who are having problems with redsnow might want to try snowbreeze, I used it for preserving baseband+jailbreak just now and it worked fine. Or just wait for greenpoison, it should be coming out soon.

It's weird that you guys are having all these issues.

I did mine last night and encountered no issues whatsoever.

Seriously guys....follow the tutorial on iClarified

http://www.iclarified.com/jailbreak/index.php

I've been using them for everything iPhone related since the very first iPhone came out and I've never had any issues.

...u might want to point ppl at their main page as it's not linked to the device picture selector page

imo iphonedownloadblog and redmondpie has easier tutorials to follow. i've been using iphonedownloadblog since the iphone 2G as well. equally informative.

@737!: try pwnagetool on a mac or try redsn0w on a different computer

Thanks for the link

I spoke to the seller he assured me the quality of the white back was at par with the original glass. He showed me both once he took them off and they were identical on the inside. Anywho, for anyone that's interested, here are some pics of it, I took the pics with the iPad so you can compare the color, it's pretty much identical. Not bad for $60.

As for this, you can buy it off ebay for around 10 bucks. Make sure you get the one that has the small pieces on the backside though, because the ones with nothing on the back won't do you any good.

Anyone know any place at all that sells apple logo stickers? I want one that's around the same size as the original one on my iphone, but I don't want any rainbow ones.. I'm looking for just a normal black one or a chrome one. I even checked eBay but all they have is the rainbow apple

EDIT: nvm ssonss1, just saw your recent post, does that mean you already bought it? Looks sexy as hell from the pictures, I might get one myself lol.

Agreed.

Maybe 'cause I'm not used to iclarifed's layout but I find redmond pie's page layout easier to follow

This is what i did:

I originally had rebooting issues with 4.2.1 where it would crap out and reboot and try rebooting for long periods of time but it would always work just take a lot of time.

I updated to 4.3.1 worked fine. Just did jailbreak today worked fine. Started syncing my old backup and while that was happening the phone crapped out and started to reboot. This time it stayed black, the screen is still on and its been on for over 3 hours now just black. Launched tinyumbrela to kick it out of DFU mode but the option is grey. It doesn't even recognize my phone is connected. I tried a method some dude on youtube had and downloading the files put a virus on my computer. Now I restored to a later date and my computer is working fine except my built in card reader in my computer stopped working. Fucking Apple.

I remember seeing someone post their cover on this thread and another user saying that the invisible back interferes with the camera flash? Any more info?

This is why I always start fresh and never restore from backup
