Redsn0W iOS 4.3.1 Jailbreak is out...

[TSDuke#IM]

I'm at 4.2.1 with greenpois0n untethered .. should I wait for GP to come out for 4.3.1 or use Redsn0W? Is there a reason not to go ahead with Redsn0W over top of GP?

This also happened to me. I was already jailbroken with 4.1, followed the instructions and upgraded to 4.3.1 and jailbroke. Worked perfectly, except I have no AT&T service. I was not unlocked, and was using my normal AT&T account. Any ideas?

I have it working great! I love 4.3.1

FYI: appbackup crashes for some on 4.3.1. So no app data restore for me. Had to reinstall cydia once but otherwise worked. Developer knows about issue.

how do u get the 4.3.1 firmware ipsw????

Tried 4.3.1 Redsn0w JB MANY times using all the posted tips & tricks - no joy! Always fails at Ramdisk Upload. Tried the following:
1) run in XP compatibility mode with & without Exec as Admin
2) followed process for DFU mode in Redsn0w screens - same result
3) pre-DFU'd iPad then ran Redsn0w - same result
4) reran all of the above with Redsn0w affinity set to cpu1

Also saw a reference to "later models" having h/w fix that prevents mod (???)

agreed. so far all of my original apps/tweaks are working perfectly. even LockInfo (beta)

and another thing.. when i went to team pure for a few days (on 4.3.1) i really enjoyed the excellent battery performance.. that has carried over as well!

I guess you and I are the I are the only two who had no AT&T service after JB.

For those if you who've successfully jailbroke, were you already jailbroken or running stock iOS? Greenpois0n was a much easier jailbreak.

restore as new. re-jailbreak

this method has solved A LOT of issues for me.. try it, couldn't hurt

Hey kids,

So, I'll keep it short and sweet.. don't even try to upgrade to 4.3.1 (over your Greenp0ison'd 4.2.1 jailbreak) and then use redsn0w. My phone went absolutely ape-$hit after I tried that. The best thing to do is to backup your phone, clean update (shift + click restore) and then use redsn0w. I've had absolutely no issues doing it the more annoying way (starting from scratch).

I jailbroke my iPhone 4 yesterday and having no problems. I have a 64bit windows 7 system and had no problems. Just had to do a clean firmware update (from 4.2.1 jb with greenpois0n to stock 4.3.1) and everything ran smoothly. Did a hard reset after my phone went ape sh!t but works fine now. Has anyone noticed an improvement on battery life? I'll post my findings as soon as I've come to some sort of conclusion.

I used the Shift Restore on mine to upgrade it last night, sounds worked fine until I JB it, Now I have zero new mail or txt sounds. Going back to restore it on my work laptop now with the shift restore and see if that works to get me back to unjailbroken. Then I'll figure out if I want to JB from there again.

I've FINALLY gotten the JB to work with the Jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 Untethered iPhone, iPad, iPod touch with Redsn0w 0.9.6 [How To] | Redmond Pie link

I always use Pwnage Tool and never have any problems. I just backup, sync and then start the process. I put the phone into DFU mode then open iTunes an Option(Mac) + restore to my custom ipsw. Then I restore from backup and I'm free, free, free. I much rather use pwnage tool every time it's just my personal preference.

Seriously, do you think we want the spam here? If you see spam, report it. Don't just complain. There's a nice little icon above the post where you can report it as spam. Feel free to use it.

there is obviously a security hole somewhere... the vbuliten admin should look into it.

 

[tizocman]

I just have one question, is it untethered for the iPod Touch 4G, as it still shows the "boot tethered" option?

Yes it is, it shows that on all devices only click install cydia

IPSW Help

I downloaded the zipped file "iPhone3,1_4.3.1_8G4_Restore" but there doesn't seem to be any IPSW file in it. It's rare I feel so stupid, so can someone please help me? I tried renaming it from a .zip to a .IPSW but that didn't help. Is there something I'm missing here? How do I get the IPSW file, or get the zip file I've got to work?

OK...got it figured out. I downloaded the file again and didn't open the file this time! I just replaced the .zip with a .ipsw extension and left it alone. This time it was recognized...wheew!

Thanks.
