thanks! everything is working great. unlocked & jailbroken.

[filberto]

So let me get this straight..

I need to have a computer running windows XP, not vista or 7?
And all I do is just plug it in when its in restore mode, press make it rain?

My iPhone is synced to my mac, so if I were to jailbreak this on my xp computer, will it delete my media, and if yes, when I re-sync my iPhone with my mac will it lose its jailbreak?

Thanks

^^^XP & Vista are good. 7 no good.
Your data & media is safe with this jailbreak. I'm on a mac as well and ran the JB from Boot Camp. Everything went smoothly. Resynced back on my mac afterwards and everything was seamless, jailbreak intact.

Vista works? Oh thats good I don't have XP lying around.

I won't be doing it via bootcamp it will be a different computer.


'The jailbreak is incomplete. The kernel vm_mem patch is not present so Winterboard will not work as some other critical tweaks. (SBSettings does work!).'

That is off of the bigboss website, which doesn't sound good.

Is it worth jailbreaking now or should I wait for a more polished release?

any1 else get alot of dlib errors from cydia?

I had to reboot manually, run Freeze again then reboot after it was finished then Cydia finally came up. Annoying process it is.</noyoda>

Yeah according to this guy's tweet it does work on Vista.

Thanks for that word from BigBoss. I figured something would be missing from this JB. As far as I know the break works fine otherwise. But if Winterboard matters to you (like it very much does to me) I'd wait for a more complete version. Doubt it'd be that long before another one was released.

Well I got it to work, everything ran good until i tried winterboard. After I installed that then rebooted it frooze. after i got it into safe mode i uninstalled winterboad and cydia came back but now its a different icon. it's not the normal cydia icon it's a game icon.

any ideas how to get cydia icon back or has anyone else had this happen?




Nevermind i got it. LOL!!!

[filberto]

If you look at my post, the bigboss quote states winterboard wont work. Don't know any work arounds myself.

This is why I'm unsure about jailbreaking atm D:

I tried it in os x with a virtual machine...but it crashes...haven't installed itunes yet...
Running vista 64 and os x... :-((

[tate]

Well if you JB now at least you have it on your iPhone for later. I'm sure they will find some way to make winterboard work. It's just going to take time. After all the JB just came out for it. I just got my wife's iPhone JB so at least it's on there for when they do fix it.

Gotta have the latest iTunes installed. Try doing that and then attempt the break again (maybe a couple times) and see how it works

I'm not sure why everybody is saying it doesn't work on Win 7... worked for me

I've run through the process just find until it started downloading Cydia. I am stuck on the "Downloading" screen with no action for about 5 minutes. What do I need to do? Reboot and run Freeze again?

Thanks,
Autoeng

OK, just went back to Homes screen and restarted Freeze and it is downloading. Slow as hell but it is downloading.
