i am a member of the android community and i just became a member of the iphone community also. i really hope this isnt the way u guys help people in a pickle. instead of helping the guy find a solution, u guys just roast him and make him fell worse that im sure he already does??? wtf!!!! im about to jailbreak and ive been doing research for the passed three days. looks like i better do more cause now i dont really expect much help from this forum!
You are way off base with your comments. I joined TiPb when Verizon released the iPhone, coming here from a BlackBerry and crackberry.com.
The members here have been absolutely fantastic with providing help to everyone, including the rush of n00b members when the ViP was released. Before I even thought about doing the JB I got to know how my iPhone worked. Then I read everything I could find on these forums about the JB process and got myself familiar with the terms and the JB procedure; I wanted to be sure that JB was right for me. Then I watched some YouTube videos that actually showed the JB process so I would know what to expect (via links here). Only then did I jump into the forums and ask a few specific questions.
In other words, I did my homework, I didn't expect other people to do it all for me or to save me from myself. I've run in to some bumps in the road and there are always several people offering to help. In turn, as I've learned more about the iPhone and JB, I've tried to help others.
Believe me, I feel badly for the OP, I really do, but the forums are filled with information that 4.3.X can NOT be JB with Greenpois0n, it's even on the front page of this site. You really don't have to go digging to find that information.
I have met some incredible people here, people who have gone way above and beyond anything I would ever expect from someone on an Internet Web-site. When I see someone say negative things about the forum members I get my back up because they are a group of generous and caring people, more than willing to help any n00b. That being said, the n00b has to be willing to put in some effort. At the very least, "Search is your friend."
Of course, IMHO.
