FN-GM Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 For people who have an iPhone. If you haven't please dont vote Cheers
Abaddon Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 I did this morning.. I have two (work and personal), so I HAD to have the e-mail sound different on the work one as it's the emergency alert system.. Used Blackrain on the PC, as the Mac version didn't work for me.
DevilsAdvocate Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Yep, had mine done for a few weeks now. Used blackra1n.
Dom_ Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Did mine a few months ago, used blackra1n aswell :-)
mb2k01 Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Done on all versions apart from 3GS. Used Redsn0w and hmmmmmm the one before that (pre 3.0) which name escapes me!
SC-UK Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Yes, have had mine JB'd since day 1 (iPhone 2G, and now 3G). I used QuickPWN on the Mac and always have done, never had a problem with it either.
pooley Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 QuickPwn on the mac here, did it the day I had my iphone.. never looked back
Andycat Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 3GS with 3.1.2 with Blackra1n. Done a few staff ones as well.
mullet_man Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Yep used blackrain, very easy. I do it to use LockInfo, very useful app which display all your calendar entries, emails, texts on your lock screen. Stevo.
SC-UK Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 I could possibly add that I don't actually use many jailbroken applications from Cydia etc, but use it mainly for the unlock (for which I currently use ultrasn0w). The only JB apps I do use: iBlacklist - not so much for blocking, but for filtering calls/SMS from work or home at certain times. SBSettings - quick access to certain things And then a few different SBSettings add-ons to aid functionality.
BrianG Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Did mine a few weeks ago using Blackra1n, it's worked brilliantly. Don't use too many apps from Cydia and the like.. really did mine just to see how it worked
Andycat Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Lockinfo was the reason I did mine as well, SBSettings is great as well. The cracked Apps are a bonus, not the reason, for Jailbreaking.
Zoom7000 Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Yup. iPhone 3GS 32Gb (3.1.2) with blackra1n. I can't stand a stock iPhone. As I always say, Jailbreaking allows you to unleash the beast that Apple have kept locked up.
ful56_uk Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Been thinking about it. Is there a web site where I can find out the benfits of doing it and what the disadvantage are.

What do you wanna know? For me, it's the vast majority of homebrew apps available on Cydia that enable those little features that really should be enabled by default.
ful56_uk Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Does it still work with exchange, apps store, iTunes. What about old apps I already have? Backups within iTunes?
Abaddon Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Does it still work with exchange, apps store, iTunes. What about old apps I already have? Backups within iTunes? Yes to all of these. No issues for me so far.
ful56_uk Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 That's me sold. Anything I need to look out for
Scruff Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Have had mine done for a few months, used PwnageTool which worked a treat, don't forget to change your root password if you leave ssh on...
FN-GM Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 Have had mine done for a few months, used PwnageTool which worked a treat, don't forget to change your root password if you leave ssh on... Is SSH turned installed by default or do you have to install it yourself?
ngreenwood Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Benifits: Pay nothing for apps that cost £££. Able to do a lot more with your phone. Disadvantages: When I find one I will let you know!
originofsymmetry Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Is SSH turned installed by default or do you have to install it yourself? It's turned on by default. I used to run my iPhone jailbroken but I found it was much slower at responding e.g. laggy keyboard, slow to load apps etc.
FN-GM Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) It's turned on by default. I used to run my iPhone jailbroken but I found it was much slower at responding e.g. laggy keyboard, slow to load apps etc. Mine was fine. Just to make sure i am 100% PwnageTool installs SSH and enables it by default. I am currently in Australia have no access to WIFI or 3G. Would you know a way on how to change the SSH password under these conditions? As far as i am aware you need to download mobile terminal and do it in there. I use mac as my OS is there a way to do it down the USB cable? Cheers Edited December 20, 2009 by FN-GM
