iOS 4.3.3/4.2.8 jailbreak with sn0wbreez 2.7 Step by step Guide

[AirAaron]

I have 4.2.7 jailbroken. Is it really worth updating to 4.2.8 and jail breaking again?

 

[Grafixx01#IM]

I think I jailbroke my VZW iPhone4 with 4.2.8 correctly. Now every time I go into iTunes it says there is an update from my carrier do I want to download and update the iPhone.

Can anyone tell me if they too are getting this? If you are or did, if you do the update, is the phone still JB?

Issues with Sn0wbreeze 2.7 Jailbreak for iOS 4.2.8

First, thank you for the detailed instructions on how to Jailbreak iOS 4.2.8 with Sn0wbreeze 2.7. The Jailbreak itself went perfectly, but the Jailbreak seems to have some issues.

I first Jailbroke my Verizon iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2.6 using the Greenpois0n Jailbreak. It went flawlessly and I quick purchased MyWi, My Profiles and My3G. All three apps worked great and precisely as documented. But when I updated my phone with the Sn0wbreeze 2.7 Jailbreak for iOS 4.2.8 I found that MyWi will no longer run in infrastructure mode as a WiFi hotspot and it only allows me to use WEP security. I also found that My Profiles no longer works correctly (does not automatically switch between profiles based upon location or charging criteria), and My3G does not provide the same throughput.

If the issue was with only one app I would say the problem was the app. But in this case the issue is with every app I have.

Has anyone else had a similar issue with the Sn0wbreeze 2.7 Jailbreak?

The main thing that you have to remember is that don't update you iphone/ipod touch through the itunes.

I am having the same message appearing in itunes. It does not state that it is an OS update, just an update for carrier settings. Should we stay away from this update as well?? It is rather annoying to have it pop up every time I plug in my phone.

Carrier updates are ok.

As you know every time Firmware update, it contain new features. Then why we not use them.

Yes, you can do the carrier update but if iTunes wants you to update the iOS to a higher release and there's no JB for it, you probably want to avoid that.

If I am jailbroken on 4.2.7 do I just reload the 4.2.8 jailbroken ipsw or do I update in iTunes, then load the ipsw?

After 2 days of frustration and lots of 1600's, 1601's, and 1602's.........I finally read step 8 a little closer. Step 8: "Start iTunes" .......

When I "Started iTunes" or (Restarted) iTunes, AFTER, the phone was placed into DFU mode, it worked flawlessly on both of the 4.2.8 phones.

Thanks to everyone else who posted suggestions and helpful hints that got a JB rookie through the process !

In order to get rid of the forgotten code and disabled message, we must restore the device.

In this case when the iphone or itouch or similar is giving you a message that its disabled, then we have to first force the device into recovery mode, from which we can do a normal restore.

Note that this removes all the content from your player.

Basically the steps are

1. Take out the usb cable, connect it to the computer, but not to the device.

2. Turn off your device

3. While pressing and holding the home button, reconnect the usb cable to the device, when you reconnect the usb cable the phone or itouch should power on.

If you are low on battery let it charge for a while, then start from the beginning (unplug the usb from the device)

4. While still holding the home button, until you see a message about "Connect to Itunes" then let go.

5. if not already open, open itunes, you should receive a short warning about recovery mode.

6. do a normal restore from itunes, it wipes the devices and the disabled message and the forgotten code are removed.

Man, I've tried that multiple times and it still gives me the 1600 error code. I've used snowbreeze to make a new ipsw file multiple times too. I've ALSO restored my phone to stock 4.2.8 and then tried jailbreaking it and I still get the error 1600. Any other suggestions?

went through the same thing "look up one post" make sure you have the most recent verison of sn0wbreeze then try again

 

[trapandclay]

I did one other task prior to that and it may have something to do with the sudden success. I completely removed iTunes (had to use "add and remove programs") since I could not find an uninstall program for iTunes. Then I reinstalled iTunes 10.2.2, fresh. Maybe there are issues with parts of previous versions lurking around.

Good luck, I hope you find success, I know how frustrating it is.

 

[trapandclay]

and yes.......always check for the most current version of snOwbreeze.

i get the error 3194 after the bar on my phone is a little more than half way everytime. what could cause that?

 

[PsYcHoNeWb]

Just followed this, and took only about a half hour when it was all said and done. I had to use the iREB tool to put my phone in the PWN state in order to get rid of the 1600 Error.

When loading iTunes, I get the same message saying there is an update from my carrier. Basically is this the same with as rooting with an Android? If your rooted/Jailbroken don't do any updates that iTunes/Carrier will attempt to send you?
