iOS Jailbreak/Unlock |OT|

There is one now! Here's the thread.
Thread's locked. Guess if the "new news new thread" thing didn't count for a PC 7.1.1 j/b, it doesn't for OSX, either.
Someone also asked in that thread if it's worth upgrading now. Personally I would, given that it's rumoured 7.1.2 is coming out in a matter of days and we don't know if anything's been fixed (exploit-wise) or not. That's unlikely, but not at all worth risking IMO.
This particular one used an exploit which took advantage of an illegal/pirated Apple security certificate (or something). So none of the bigger/mainstream jailbreak groups would touch it otherwise legal action would surely be taken by Apple. As far as exploits that could be burned, this was a good one for them to take advantage of.
Also, this particular exploit was discussed by i0nic (a jailbreak dev) at a security summit a few weeks ago... so it was fairly widely known at this point and likely would've been patched for the full release of iOS8 anyway. There are apparently other ones which are not public for us to enjoy in the future

I feel like asking this after every new JB, but is there finally a working tweak that disables the lock screen on the iPad?

No, I actually requested it to be locked. Apparently, it installs a pirate app store regardless of you not selecting the option for it, and even having the option might violate TOS.
Here's hoping for a legit jailbreak to come out next time.

I don't have anything but Cydia.
I was talking about the first version of Pangu. It installed PPsync even if you unchecked the box for the pirate app store.
It can be removed following these instructions:

For what it's worth, I have seen no mention of the current English version doing the same.
So it never locks? I thought that was just an option you could disable in iOS. Apologies if you mean something different.

You could always buy a Smart Cover with the magnets.
7.1.2 is out, and lo and behold, Pangu works with it Make sure you have the most recent (English) version to be safe, I guess.

Even aside from the jailbreak... The latest firmware is really good! Really fixed speed and performance. It's like a whole new phone.
Don't drag your feet jailbreakers. Get the latest firmware, jailbreak it with pangu. You will be glad you did.

might finally pull the trigger. I've been pre-7.0

I don't want to see the lock screen when I turn my iPad on.
Or I could not spend 30 bucks to get rid of a stupid and useless feature and make my device thicker and heavier in the process.
Gotcha. Maybe this? I just googled it, not sure if it's what you're looking for or not. But I might get it for my iPad as well.

That's what I was looking for, thank you! I tried to use an older tweak I've been using on my first gen. Ipad, called something like "NoLockScreen" but it hasn't been working since iOS 6 and was never updated either.
If it works on iOS 7(.1), I might even finally upgrade vom iOS 6.1!
I'll test it and let you know, my iPad 3 is running 7.1.1. Doesn't guarantee it'll work on 7.1.2, but still... better than nothing.
Edit: It says it'll only show the lockscreen if there's a pending notification. So as long as you turn notifications off, you should never see a "slide to unlock" screen again! There weren't any notifications about "incompatible device" in Cydia, so we might be good.
...
And it works! You *very* briefly see the lockscreen, but it goes straight to the home screen automatically after a fraction of a second. The only place I saw the lockscreen stay there was when there was a "No SIM installed" message. Once that cleared, it was fine. It's on the bigboss repo, but if you add the one in that article, it has an even newer version (not sure what the difference is).

My OG iPad runs slow as shit on iOS 5.1.1. Was hoping to be able to downgrade it to see if it'd run faster, but something about not having the correct blobs saved prevents me from doing so. Any other tricks or extensions I could find to optimize Safari? It likes to crash on anything remotely media-intensive. I know the limited amount of RAM is a big reason for that, but any stopgaps would do.

Sorry for double-posting, but my iPhone 5 is now endlessly rebooting with the circle looping all the time. What can I do to fix my phone?
Hard reboot won't work as my sleep/wake button doesn't work. Is all I can do, wait for it to run out of battery and then boot it up and holding the Volume Up button?

You can, but it's better to restore first.
I remember upgrading my PSP's firmware not knowing that it was still on CFW, and was so pissed when it automatically bricked as a result. Imagine how many complaints from unwitting upgraders Apple would get if iPhone worked the same way

When iOS 8 comes out, you can restore with iTunes and go straight to 8.0.

It's a transformative speed boost for my 4S, but I doubt it's as dramatic on newer devices.

welp, time to upgrade. whats the best method to upgrade to it and keep my jailbreak sources and at least a list of my tweaks?
Ya man. iPhone 4 here and it's like almost a new phone in terms of speed.
I concur. My 4S has a new lease on life.
I guess I'll update my 4 to 7.1.2 then. Can't wait to get rid of it for something else come September though, whether that's for an iPhone 6 or Android. I'm getting to the point where I don't use a lot of apps on my phone these days and the ones that I do tend to be on both OSes, but I don't know whether that's down to the phone running slowly so I'm not using it much. Plus I got a Nexus 7 which has replaced it for general browsing.

Fuck PKG Backup. FUCK IT HARD.
Both times I attempted to use it, it's a fucking miserable failure! The first time when upgrading to ios7 a while back it error'd out halfway through and didn't work... this time it instantly and automatically did a new backup as soon as I started up the app which deleted my "good" backup.
Who the fuck is responsible for such horrible design decisions? Seriously, fuck these guys. FUCK THEM.

I jailbroke my iPhone for the primary purpose where when someone calls, i want their pic to fill up my screen.
Anyone got recommendations? I am using the iOS 7.1.2 version.

Doesn't iOS do this already when you add a pic to their profile in you contacts?
It's about time something like this came out!

So you swipe the media player to get that screen. And it applies across the whole of the iOS. Can't wait to play with it! Finally *controllable* EQ in the stock music app. $3US

So I'm pretty stupid about this stuff but I'm still using iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, but compatibility with certain apps is lagging behind so I thought I should just take the plunge and upgrade to iOS 7.
I'd still like to keep the jailbreak, so how do I go around doing it? Upgrade regularly and then jailbreak again?
Nvm, I'm all updated now

Anyone happen to know if the AppleTV2 is still jailbreakable if it is completely up to date?
I don't really have a need for it to be jailbroken anymore so I would like to update it and sell it so I can upgrade to the AppleTV3, and I'm guessing a jailbroken ATV2 is still worth a decent amount.

Would you mind sharing your newly acquired wisdom with the rest of the thread? It might be helpful for others.
I always
1. Back up in iTunes
2. Write down my list of cydia tweaks/apps
3. Restore with latest jailbreakable iOS
4. Jailbreak
5. Restore back up
There are alternatives to step 2, just google backup cydia apps or tweaks. I just never bothered because I don't have a lot.

Hey guys where can I update my Ipod touch 5th generation version 6.01 to 6.1?
This is a non jail-broken Ipod touch.
I plan to jail-break it but first I wanted to test something with this firmware.
Thanks.

Is there any way to clean out the files left by tweaks after an upgrade? They always get backed up with my data etc when I do a backup to the computer, and then get installed back to the phone even if the tweak's not actually installed through Cydia. I found this after I moved to iOS and didn't need a bunch of the tweaks that I used in 6.
iCleaner might do it
