when I go into jailbreakMe.com it says that it is 2.0. not 3.0
Is jailbreakMe.com not updated yet?
I have the old greenpois0n 4.2.1, and maintaining unlocked baseband 01.59.00. Do I first have to upgrade to 4.3.3 to use the jailbreakme? will this unlock the new baseband that will inevitably be installed? Is there a way to upgrade to 4.3.3 while maintaining old baseband?
My iphone 4 was jailbroke and I remain on the previous version waiting on a jailbreak for the 4.3.3 version. Now that it came out I updated to 4.3.3 and used jailbreakme; I pressed “FREE”, then “INSTALL” and the Cydia icon appear on my screen, started to download but in the middle of the installation, it stopped and disappeared, not jailbreaking the iphone. Is there another tool needed?
I had the same thing happen to me on my ipad 1. I upgraded to 4.3.3 and it didn’t work. So then after doing a restore and setting up ipad as new device it worked properly. Cydia installed.
Thanks
I ended up downloading the 4.3.3 firmware and Redsnow RC16 to jailbreak my iphone; only took couple of minutes. Appreciate your notes here!!! Thanks
I had same thing happen…but i try restart the device; cant even see the home page anymore, only can see the Apple logo and hang there.
I really need help.
Thanks
same thing happened to me… 3gs 4.3.3
i’ve tried redsnow, and snowbreeze, but they can’t find .ipsw file. i’ve downloaded and unzipped ios4.3.3 several times, but i cant find an .ipsw file either. Am i doing something wrong? do I need to rename a file? any help would be greatly appreciated.
what is the file that you get. If its a .zip , rename it to .ipsw and it will work well. If you are not getting it to work , probably your are downloading the wrong file . iTunes can detect .ipsw files if installed on your PC
hmm, i bet ur using widows explorer.. change to google chrome or mozzilla fireox and it will be an ipsw file explorer takes it as a zip file
Thanks for the help. I ended up Updating, backing up, then pointing snowbreeze to the Itunes backup ipsw.
if i jailbreak my iphone will it lead into any problem
yOU MUST INSTALL pdf pATCHER 2 FROM cYDIA after the jailbreak i done to fix the PDF exploit hole
Downloaded iphone firmware from here http://www.iphone4jailbreak.org/ios-4-3-3-ipsw-download.html and placed it on the desktop, then downloaded reds0w_mac RC15 from here http://www.iphone4jailbreak.org/download-redsn0w-rc15-redsnow.html (which the download was actually rc16), unzipped, clicked on the pineapple and follow the instructions. Make sure your phone is OFF and connected to the computer. I have a Macbook Pro, so make sure you download the right redsn0w (mac or windows)
Thanks for collecting the links and placing them here .
Wat if u want to do it straight from the phOne cuz i dont hqve a mac?
i have the iphone4 fw 4.3.3 (not jailbroken) and i went to jailbreakme.com. Whein i pressed install, the cydia box popped up and started loading. then it just disappeared. i have tried restarting my phone but it does the same thing over and over and over again. Any Advice from anyone?????
Look at my post, same happened to me and I ended up using redsn0w with no problem!
Nice one guys I just bricked my iPhone
Kev
Dont know why you bricked your phone, this is what I did:(all in a Mac)
1. downloaded and update to the last version of iTunes
2. downloaded and update the iphone4 to 4.3.3 version (last jailbreak will be erased)
3. Then went to the website link I posted above and downloaded the ipsw firmware and saved it to the desktop.
4. Using the link above, downloaded the Mac version of redsn0w rc15 (note that I stated that after download and opened it showed rc16)
5. Connect the iphone to the Mac computer, back up and sync.
6. Turn the iphone OFF
7. Open redsn0w and click on the Pineapple
8. Follow the instructions, hold on button, hold home button, etc
9. The cydia icon was on the iphone, but as a blank icon, clicked on it and opened cydia
Thats it..then in cydia searched for the pATCH 2 and installed it
Only took me about 3 minutes, no brick, no problem
Good luck
restore ur iphone in itunes
and try again lol
yep , Kev left a short but scary note . i dnt know how many new jailbreakers would have changed their mind in the last minute after reading it . several hours of work done by iphone devs to bring a reliable userland jailbreak , WASTED
Kev, I think you work for Apple, ATT or Verizon. You leave a st00pid comment on here like that just to scare people. Thanks for giving us information as to what you were doing, and how you allegedly bricked your iPhone.
Nah,…we just do like the government…loose some to gain a lot LOL.
Thanks for all the help guys!!!
I installed jailbreakme.com as a friend told me that it was free, well now my phone is stuck on the apple screen, I can’t do anything, I can’t even connect via cable thru itunes for a restore.
I have a iphone 4, please help anyone…
press the power button 3 secs and then keep holding power button, and press in home button at same time for 10 secs release power button and keep holding home button for 15 secs
after this ur iphone will be detected in itunes have ur iphone connected through the whole prosedgure:) gl
need any more help just write here and ill come bak asap
what version did you have? Have you tried rebooting? What have you tried if anything?
Tried to reboot, nothing just hangs at apple screen, I can hold the front button and power button to get it to boot up in itunes but that it. My dilemma is i did not back up photos of my kids. That is all I need.
I think I accidentally bricked the phone.
Does this jailbreak and unlock work on iPhone 4 with 02.10.04 firmware?
From my exprience, If your phone stuck on Apple logo, Its actually in RECOVERY MODE, you have to get out from there. Press Sleep button and Home button simultaneously for 10 second or until iTunes Beep once that its can detect your phone. Then you can restore your phone to the latest iOS 4.3.3. Good luck to all…
The pictures most likely will be lost. What you can do is turn off your iPhone. Download the latest software 4.3.3 and save it on your desktop. Now, if you are using a PC, plug in your cable into the computer first. Then, press the home button and keep pressing it, and connect the cable. Do not let go of the home button. This is a hard reboot and iTunes will open up after about 30 seconds or less, and state that it has found an iPhone in recovery mode. It will either ask you to restore it to a previous time, or to restore it with the latest software. Your obvious choice would be to restore it to a prior time. This will give you everything from the last time you updated but would not include a jailbreak. This should work. Let me know.
I am using a Gevey sim unlocked iPhone 4 with 4.2.1 and 3.10.1 and tried to jailbreak it with Cydia. After downloading, I tried to install it and my phone turned off authomatically. I tried to re-boot it and all I got is an Apple Logo. What wrong did I do? Please help.
So i take as this “jailbreakme” doesn’t jailbreak ur phone successfully? because i don’t want to recommend this to a friend that wants to jailbreak their iphone, i alrdy jailbreak my iphone4 thru redsnow 4.3.1 ^^
I would Definately stay away from jailbreakme.com, even the after several emails the guy who built it admits there are several problems and will ultimately brick your phone and you will have to restore your iPhone!
After much dissection, I there landing page is no more then a simple gif made to look like a iTunes download, that in itself is sneaky and intended to pill you in with out explanation of the possible issues and lost date you could suffer from!
I strongly this is a security risk and malware for you apple device!
I have read through all the comments, and there is NOT A SINGLE PERSON WHO HAS SUCCESSFULLY JAILBROKEN THEIR IPHONE WITH JAILBREAKME! Its all about problems with jailbreak me or switching to redsnow and it works, or your iphone stays on apple logo… so i think ima stay away from jailbreak me…
the reason people crash with jailbreakme.com is because if u want to use userland jailbreak u will have to restore it then install jailbreakme and then fill in the backup thats in cydia
in itunes*
Guys don’t waste your time anymore with jailbreakme. Use redsn0w and be happy….I posted the instructions and links above, can’t make it any easier!!!
When I sync my iPhone 4 (Verizon) with iTunes and check for software updates, it still says I’m running the current version…which is 4.2.8—any idea why it’s not updating to the newer versions?
i hav don the same nd my phone downloaded cydia nd m enjoing it
Just jailbroke my phone with redsn0w too easy, you dont need to restore your phone aswell unlike jailbreakme.

free jailbreak version 4.3.3
If i go to the jailbreakme website using Safar on my iPhone 4, i don’t get the FREE button next to the Cydia logo. (i do get it on my iPad)
How to solve this?

Hi! I have an Iphone 4 bought from UK. It has firmeware 04.10.01 and version 4.3.3. However, it is carrier-locked. I can not use it in my country. What should I do? How do I unlock it?
There is no way to unlcok that firmware unless u use a gevey sim.
Instructions shown on the site.
http://www.iphone4jailbreak.org/how-to-unlock-iphone-4.html
- The Install Button Isnt There!?
I need some simple instructions to jailbreak my 1phone4, i have sw 4.3.3 and fw 4.10.01. I ahve read the posts and am really confused about what steps to take. Any simple step by step will be appreciated. Thanks
Hi! I went to jailbreackme .com on iPhone 4 Safari, but I see no FREE/INSTALL button…? Anyone?.
@beach : its jailbreakme . get the site name right
OMG…Read the previous Post!!!!
Jailbreak does not work!!!..Use Redsn0w; and the instructions with the links are post above!!
You guys are all ** . If you had done a little research before attempting to jb you will realize that Comex already knows and even warned about this on his twitter account.
For all of you who are too lazy to research further, THIS WILL NOT WORK ON CDMA IPHONES (namely the verizon iPhone) Attempting to jailbreak a Verizon iPhone will result in a bricked or unusable iPhone.
I have the iPhone4 and when I go to Jailbreakme.com, it all loads, but there is not “free” or “install” button. What’s wrong?
are you opening it on safari. lad it again , clear your cache from settings and try again
Hi I got a iPhone 4 from a relative but the previous owner’s data is still on there how do i delete everything including his settings etc. and a dont also know the standard unlocking code.
hmm, sounds unlikley that u got it from a family member and cant get passcode up, but anyways u gotta put iphone in dfu mode and then press restore, if u have somehow stolen it, i would advice u to gve it to the police because they can trace the imei code in the iphone =D
I had a problem. When I went in to http:// www. JailbreakMe.com it didn’t says “Free“, a mean, it didn’t says anything. What should I do? Thanks!

I used this software and easily jailbroke my phone. I am now wondering how to restore my phone to the original settings without bricking it. Any suggestions please?
So if I jailbreak my phone am I still able to use apps I already have installed on it? And what is the process for syncing? iTunes or what would I be using instead? Sorry for the stupid questions but I have had an iPhone for a few years and have only used iTunes
Hi
I am using
iPhone4
Carrier: Globe 10.0
Modern Firmware: 04.10.01
Version: 4.3.3(8J2)
Bootloader: ICE_2_13
According to f0recast:
Jailbreakable?: YES(with redsn0w)
Unlockable: NO
I already tried [redsn0w 0.9rc16] but Cydia always gets stuck. I tried rebooting the iPhone but to no avail. I also tried going thru the steps of jailbreaking the phone but the results are the same.
PLEASE HELP! Thanks!
Use Gevey Sim to unlock your phone and proceed with jailbreaking. You may try using jailbreakme aside from redsnow.
All the things I read that the Apple iPhone4 can do once it’s “Jailbroken” is things you can already do on most Android phones………sheep
Followed the instructions & it worked.

Hi,
Is it safe to jailbreak iphone 4 without Factory unlocking it?
Thanks
yes.
When I go to the cite it doesn’t have the blue thing where it’s says free
I tried doing the redsnow but I got some kind of error. Then I had to reload using iTunes. Sadly I forgot my password for my encrypted backup and had to start fresh
Does this work on verizon iphone?
Jag har installerat Cydia och sedan kört om redsnow och valt “BOOT JUST THETERED RIGHT KNOW”..När jag sedan går in i mobilen så kommer jag in i cydia..då ska man göra lite inställningar samt ladda ner lite uppdateringar varpå de uppmanar att starta om mobilen.
i went to the website but it says im not supported! what do i do??
