This is just for people using the iPhone 4s (Sprint iPhone 4s Verizon iPhone 4s or AT&T iPhone 4s)

Also, if you’re using an iPad 2, don’t upgrade either, only reason I say this is because when the new iOS 5.0 UnTethered JailBreak comes out for iPhone 4s & iPad 2 its initially only going to work for the iOS 5.0 not iOS 5.0.1 or iOS 5.0.2 & iOS 5.1 when that’s available.

I’ll have more information available on this later today or maybe tomorrow. Stay tuned, thanks for reading.

This is mainly for the people who own an iPad 2 or iPhone 4s or for anyone who really wants an UnTethered iOS 5 JailBroken iPhone or iPad. iPod Touches are also devices that would apple I suppose.

Well as of a couple days ago or so, the Dev-Team which is the folks behind the GreenPois0n & RedSnOw JaiBreaks have had to completely start from scratch, apparently the exploits they were using in their UnTethered JailBreak for iOS 5.0 was from the beta version and Apple somehow figured out that they were using them through their crash report testing so Apple Patched those exploits and created new ones.

I don’t totally understand what this mean, but the bottom line is the Dev-Team has to start over from the very beginning from scratch, which really sucks, and makes it so we’re going to have wait quite some time now. Also, if you’re still running iOS 5.0 don’t upgrade. There’s two main reasons for this, number one, the iOS 5.0 UnTethered JailBreak will probably only work for this version, not iOS 5.0.1 iOS 5.0.2 or iOS 5.1, secondly unlike iOS 4, you could downgrade to a previous version, Apple has blocked that and made it so we no longer are able to do so.So in other words, just hang tight and keep iOS 5.0 and wait and see.

There’s a JailBreak for iOS 5.0.1 that I’m working on editing right now, it’ll be up tonight hopefully. So far this Semi-Tethered / Semi-UnTethered JailBreak has been just as stable as iOS 5.0 I’ve been using it for about 24 hours and so far its pretty good.

I’ll have the complete video up tomorrow night. I’m in the process of editing the video and making sure that it’s a stable and worthy JailBreak.

-Stay Tuned.

This is a Tethered JailBreak and doesn’t work on iPhone 4S or iPad 2

I’ve using a Verizon iPhone 4 on 4.2.10 and people ask me all the time, will there be an UnTethered JailBreak for iOS 4.2.10 and the simple answer is no. The main reason for this is because iOS 5.0 is coming out in about 2 weeks and there’s no reason for the Dev-Team or any other hackers to waste their time. At first, we didn’t think we were going to be able to JailBreak the iPhone 5 running iOS 5.0 but now that we’re closer to launch day, there’s been many exploits found, giving us what we need to JailBreak the iPhone 5 running iOS 5.0

Supposedly iOS 5.0 will be available on October 12th, and the new iPhone 5 will be launched on October 14th. I’m estimating that it will take a couple weeks before the UnTethered JailBreak for iOS 5.0 is going to be available. Of course, I will be one of the first ones to show everyone how to do it easy and simply.

I want to know what the main reason why most of you decide to JailBreak your iPhones… The main reason I do is just simply because I feel the need to and like to have the freedom of customizing my Verizon iPhone 4 the way I want. I really don’t like having restrictions and feel its unnecessary. Also, I like the option of being able to use my Verizon iPhone 4 as a WiFi HotSpot and not have to pay the stupid tether fee each month. To me that’s bull crap.

Let me know what you use your JailBroken Verizon or AT&T iPhone for… Thanks!

Apple just sent out their invitations for the iPhone 5 Event for October 4th, 2011 to all the respective companies, organizations and groups.

In the invitations there’s a very interesting theme going on with the iPhone Home Screen Shot. Everything in the screen shot correlates with the dates and time of the event…

1) The time on the Clock: 10AM

2) The Location on Google Maps Icon: Apple 1 Infinite Loop Campus in California

3) The Calendar Icon shows October 4th, 2011

4) The Phone Notifications Icon has a ONE, not a TWO…

Now I asked myself, is it just a coincidence or is there more to it. Now Apple is pretty smart, and Marketing is one of their best things that they do. Now I personally think it means there’s only going to be one iPhone 5 released, and not a iPhone 4s like a lot of people are speculating. I haven’t thought there was going to be more than one version at all. Although, for a short time I did think that there might actually be an iPhone Nano, which I totally don’t believe now.

The really neat thing about the iPhone 5 release this year is there’s going to be the Spring iPhone 5 released. And this means a couple things, one: there’s obviously going to be more choices for the iPhone 5 owners as far as network, but more importantly than that, there’s only going to be one carrier that doesn’t have the iPhone 5 officially, and of course that’s going to be T-Mobile. Now according to a report I read, T-Mobile has actually sent a letter to its customers stating they are very sorry that they don’t have the iPhone 5 coming to their network.

Another major debate about the up and coming iPhone 5 is that wether or not it will have 4G or not. Some sources say it will not, and other sources say it will, what do you think?

Are you going to be buying the Apple iPhone 5 or will you be waiting for the iPhone 6 to come out because you simply are stuck in a contract because the recent release of the Verizon iPhone 4?

Well if you just purchased the Verizon iPhone 4 this past February like me, and you are now stuck with the 2 year contract, I think I have found a way around upgrading with out having to break the new 2 year contract you just signed up, and more importantly with out breaking your wallet a big $600 bucks!

The plan is really simple and easy, but you gotta pay attention:

Step 1) Sell your Verizon iPhone 4 online for $400

Step 2) Buy the new Verizon iPhone 5 for $600

Step 3) Your Net Cost is only about $200

And you didn’t have to sign a new contract, which is the same price you would have paid anyway, but now when the iPhone 6 comes out next year, you’ll qualify to upgrade!

Let me know what your thoughts are, and by the way, JailBreak you Verizon iPhone 4 before you sell it, because it’ll be worth more money, because a lot of people don’t know how to do it.
