Have You JailBroken your iPhone?

[originofsymmetry]

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

 

 

By slowing down I should have stated over time it got worse.

 

I don't have a Mac (yet) so don't know how to do it any other way.

Only way to do it is via wi-fi as far as I know if have windows 7 then could set PC up as a wireless unit and join Iphone to that to get it working..

good thinking i might try it, worth a shot

i seem to remember installing ssh from cydia but i could be wrong. and yes i also downloaded mobile terminal to change the root password of the device. as far as i know there is no way to do this via usb.

 

as for reports of the phone slowing down, yes mine did too, but no worse than a lot of people i know who didn't jailbreak, some of apple's updates were the culprit from what i could tell, the latest one works fine for the most part.

True(ish)

 

I don't know of a way to change the root password via USB, but I did mine by SSH'ing into the device over Wifi. Seemed much easier than typing all of the commands in the strange mobile version of terminal!

Hi guys

 

I got the new 3gs with the new bootrom, once I jail break it it works ok. However if I ever have to reboot it or battery dies I then have to rerun the jail break app because I have the newer boot rom. Does any one know away around this as I don't a have a pc around me 24/7.

Same boat - I think we just have to wait until they release the update to fix that little problem.

[chris57]

Does the latest blackra1n not solve this i thought it worked for the 3gs?

[ful56_uk]

It jail breaks it, but if you reboot your phone you then have to run it again to make it usable as it gets stuck in recovery mode.

[chris57]

oh just done it on a work mates 3gs Woops :S

[ful56_uk]

how new is your 3gs as the newer ones have got this updated boot code, i got mine xmas eve which has the new boot code on it

[chris57]

erm not sure how new his is fairly recent on a 02 upgrade as i bought his 8gb 3g one for 60 quid off him.

Just restored mine, it was eating my battery for fun when it was jailbroken. Its good again now

[sippo]

I'm also finding that my jailbroken phone is destroying my battery life. Any reasons why? Any thing that does it?

[Chris_in_notts]

I just thought the battery life was just poor in general lol havny noticed a difference since JB

I've not voted but thought I'd say that I have jailbroken my iPad. Main reason was for greater customisation and also to get XBMC on it which is awesome when cooking in the kitchen!
