Received my iPhone 3gs upgrade this week.
I used blackra1n to jailbreak. Once blackra1n was installed I installed cydia and snow to unlock. Once done I powered down the iPhone. When I turned it back on it went into recovery mode and had to be restored using iTunes. The firmware it 3.1.2. Is it normall to go into recovery if u power down on latest firmware?

Look like this is normal, if you power off the iphone or let the battery run out, you need to connect to your pc. Read here Jailbreak iPhone 3.1.2 firmware with blackra1n (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Its states this: -

pdate: The latest blackra1n supports all devices, the newer iPod touch and iPhone 3GS will be tethered, meaning you will need to connect your device to your computer and run blackra1n again every time you reboot.

Is there a way of doing a jailbreak where you can turn the iphone off?

will do np if your anything like me mate the life span of any iphone battery is so bad i nearly put mine on charge every night lol and as for the apps goto cydia and then manage / sources and touch edit at top right and then add at other side and add these reops m8 without ""

"http://cydia.iclarified.com/"

"http://cydia.hackulo.us/"

"http://repo.beyouripone.com/" (http://cydia.xsellize.com/)

then search for appsync and install the one for your os 3.1.2 so on when that is done install appcake there is another one called installous but very very slow so i use appcake once all installed goto appstore and download any free app off your account ie ipint will do then load appcake and download any app you like free and best thing is itunes wont see the apps you have pulled from appcake as it hides them from itunes couldnt live without it myself and if you want somethink really cool get sbsetting from cydia its unreal control panel for your iphone can hide any icon you want and switch anything off and on when install sbettings there will be no icon just slide your finger across the status bar at top with clock on it and it will pop menu down ok m8

oh and by the way you can download any .ipa file you like when this process has been done and load them in tunes onto your iphone as appsync will make itunes think you have bought the app ok m8 upto you

have fun when done right its a whole new world

Btw, whats the easiest way to load cracked .ipa apps?

fairly straight forward, start itunes, go to "edit/preferences" and on the general tab check the apps box and click ok

now with apps highlighted in the left plane simple drag and drop the ipa file to the right plane

just to check your set right, now highlight your phone on the left, click on the apps tab, there you can sync all the apps or select the ones you want

clicking snyc will then move the apps to your phone as well as any other sync boxes that are checked,

thesparky unless he pay's for his apps this wont work with cracked .ipa's until he crack's the iphone with appsync and downloads 1 official app from app store

yes very true, a thread with a title "Jailbreak help needed" i just assumed he would be going down that road anyway?

Ok many thanks for the replies guys. Re-applied blackra1n. Installed cydia, added all the sources cosmo listed, installed appsync. Now happily installing apps as thesparky suggested. Woohoo, many thanks to both of you and to TT for giving cozmo a nudge lol!

Regards the tethered jailbreak that blackra1n add's, its not that bad. Basically if I reboot or turn off the phone I need to connect to a pc whilst its in recovery mode and re-run blackra1n. Let it reboot and everything is still there :)

Again many thanks for all the replies :zoom:

im thinking of jailbreaking my phone, so once I've followed all the above advice and if i want new apps can i still download from the app store on the phone ?

or do you need to get cracked ipa's - btw what are ipa's ?

Edit - forget that dumb question, I've just googled and didn't realise cydia was the jailbreak equivalent of Apple’s App Store

@ berley you can still install legit apps.

berley
25-01-2010, 01:57 PM
cheers sic, so is it only the legit ones that show up if you were to connect your phone to itunes, or is it a case of not connecting to itunes anymore

Sicilian

No you can still connect to itunes, all the apps will show while its jailbroken. Just dont update the firmware.

berley the other way that will work 100% and need no push fix it to restore the iphone to stock then if you can get hold of one just for a min use the right sim card for the iphone to activate it NOT to hacktivate it and then put all apps and stuff on you want and load blackra1an last to unlock that will sort all problem eg battery drain , lost of sig /wifi and so on

and if not do the same with hacktvation eg always unlock last here all my repos upto date all tested and working without ""

cheerz cozmo, i'm not quite sure what you mean about the right sim card, im using the sim card that came with the phone, i activated it then transferred my original number onto it.

my phone is just jailbroken its not unlocked (i assume thats what hacktivate means)

I've added all the repos that you posted earlier on in this thread so i'll check and add any new ones

thanks cozmo

berley if you are using the sim that came with the iphone then you dont need push fix that was only for iphones that use other sim than the one that came with the iphone and hacktivate is when you activate the iphone with out the right sim as it will not activate normally without the sim the iphone is locked to as long as your utube works then your push will be fine thats the best way to check

thanks for the info about me not needing the push fix i wasn't aware of that

regarding youtube, I've always been able to launch and view the videos as stated earlier, I guess i'm just going to be one of these unlucky ones that doesn't have ping working properly (being able to send but not receive seems quite a common problem )

TBH i think ping did work when i first jailbroke the phone then it just stopped working properly, whether this was a result of anything I installed after jailbreaking I'll never know :(

Thanks a million for your replies tho :zoom:

Another excellent app that i could not live without is 3GUnrestrict, basically it tells any app you chose that you have 3G or WiFi connection so it allows you to download files over 10mb (very slowly) or watch YouTube videos without those annoying warnings, well worth a download

Also apptrackr for all your .ipa needs, the site is a must
