Do you have the shsh blobs for 5.1.1? If you answered no then you cannot. Check out the dev team blog and you will learn some if not all of what you seek to know. I did it with my ipad2 a few months back when 6.0 dropped.
Reverted back to 5.1.1 due to battery issues(more or less half lifespan) and wifi/etc. connection issues still persists... 5.1.1 the most stable for me...
Apple should've released IOS 6.1.1 for the iPod touches and jailbreaking should be banned and reported because it can slow your IOS device down and cause it to crash and freeze and stop workin plus more viruses and the cydia app store is fake and useless there all free apps. Apple should stop people from jailbreaking and put a strong security code lock on the jailbreak aswell. It's wrong and could be dangerous.
any issues with a battery or any other issues after updating your Iphone 4S to 6.1.1.?
I dont want to upgrade sinc emy phone is working right now
Except the Wifi was horrible drops like mutha fucka
I am using my iphone 5 so I dont need it
That sucks, but I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem with the random-ass wi-fi drops. Just out of the blue, wi-fi dies. I changed out my router thinking that it was acting up and was the cause, and it still happens... so yeah, thanks Apple. Awesome stuff...
There is nothing wrong with the 4S!! I have 6.1 on 4S AT&T and JB with plenty of sources, three themes, eight tweaks, seven iWidgets, color keyboard, and GPS weather forecast, and many others etc...All this and nooooo F'in 3G issue or battery depleting or any of that crap...I even watch Netflix, Maxgo, HBOgo, and Redbox steaming on 4 bars sometimes but mostly 5 and still can do multitasking things...I believe it's just some ploy The Gestapo (Apple) is doing to close the loophole somehow cause they are getting more pissed that 7 million people are JB up from 4 million before iPhone 5 came..Don't update and lose the jailbreak even though there is an envision update but the tweaks may not work correctly and cause safe mode to come on...
absolutely agree my 4S works great on 6.1
why go through reinstalling all the tweaks again
all's well and battery is fine just shut down uneccessary stuff
6.1.1 definitely works better on 4S tmobile. Jailbreak was slowing down the phone and causing Internet errors and app loading issues. Glad it's gone from the phone. Only miss bite SMS the only reason for jail breaking
Jailbreak it work on iPhone 4S , But Must Jailbreak your Device with First Version From #evad3rs #evasi0n 1.1 ... The team still Update and Fix some bugs for 4S evasi0n 1.2 .
I'm guessing the iPhone 4S was first because it's only got one antenna for 2G, 3G and 4G so Apple had to hurry up and fix the 4S without patching evasi0n so right now I just read that the evasi0n team are working on an upgrade it should be out really soon unless they'll decide to wait for Apple to release 6.1.1 for all devices. Any way I'm downloading a copy of 6.1.1 just in case that Apple will decide to do a patch.
I updated to 6.1.1 and JB gives me error message saying 'Sorry, the version of iOs of the attached device is not supported." and 'Jailbreak' button is greyed out.
Is there a way to force the Jailbreak of have to wait for updated version of evasi0n?
How did you force it?
JB gives me error message saying 'Sorry, the version of iOs of the attached device is not supported." and 'Jailbreak' button is greyed out.
