I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.1 unlocked for tmobile. After I jailbroke with limerain I lost my facetime. I tried facebreak and 3G unrestricter and no luck. FaceTime was working for me when I had iOS 4.0.1 but not anymore. Anyone have any ideas how to fix. This??

Ip 4, out-of-box, 4.0.2 - BB 01.59.00
successfully JB by limera1n, and unlocked by using ultrasn0w.
SHSH was saved by using TinyUmbrella
Future plan: will wait for PW to be released
will use Tinyumbrella to update 4.1 without changing BB
will use PW to jailbreak again, then ultrasn0w to unlock. <-- does this look okey ?
Thank you for all the hard work.

I do have a severe battery drainage issue and it is killing me. I dont know what to do. By the way it works normally when the SIM card is not installed.
I have an iPhone 4 Jailbreak and Unlocked on 4.1 and preserving Baseband 01.59.00
Any suggestions on how to fix it? Do you know a way of downgrading my iOS to 4.0.2? My phone was working fine before the update to 4.1

I have a quick question.
I have just bought my iphone 4 from the U.S. and I was just wondering: In order to be able to use it with my icelandic carrier am I required to jailbreak the phone aswell as unlock it with ultrasn0w or is it enough simply to wait for an ultrasn0w unlock for modem firmware 02.10.04 on iOS 4.1 to be able to use it?
Also, it seems that this unlock shouldnt take too long to arrive, but am I able to downgrade the modem firmware so that I could use an earlier version of ultrasn0w?
Thanks in advance guys.

Gunny - October 12, 2010 at 1:33am
Ok I just realised that ultrasn0w only works with jailbroken devices, my bad. But the downgrade question still applies. Also, does anyone know when ultrasn0w might do an unlock for 02.10.04?

Did you install any apps or tweaks from Cydia after you JB your iPhone? If you did you might have d-loaded an app or tweak that is not compatible with IOS 4. If you didn't install anything from cydia then try running Linera1n again or restore the iphone and try JB again.

Iphone 4, updated yesterday to 4.1, then use limera1n to jailbreak
was successful, working fine. just a delay connecting to internet
today I found that cydia never loads data ( even when yesterday work)
I reboot my phone and... zappts!!!, booting loop, its stacked in apple logo
I try with no luck iReb ( because it doesn't work on jailbroked devices)
I try also irecovery.. no way... keep looping and doing that sound like you replug the usb every 10 seconds ( or less)
diskaid works, i have root access to all files and folders, any solution without going to itunes recovery
thanks

I am having similar problem but First of all thanks so much Geo....Comex got my donation for my I4 and Geo just got another don' for my wifes I4. Thanks both of you guys. The problem I am having is with a recently updated iPhone 3GS / 4.1 / 5.14.02. The phone was brought to me crashed and updated. Limera1n seems to work just fine but when trying to load cydia the status bar stops and i get an error saying source not found. Any ideas? Looks like the new Limera1n update is said to fix 3GS bootrom issue, but it's not wokring for me.

Dude, I'm in the same boat. 3GS new bootrom and I can't JB.
Windows 7 64bit/Windows XP (SP3).
Iphone 3GS on 4.1 (32Gb) - New Bootrom.
Not sure what is different between me and the other who claim that is works for them!

Yep not sure either. I've got the exact same setup you described and limera1n won't install cydia at all. Stops at about 3%. Greenpoison claims to install cydia but after it completes the install cydia is white icon and will not open. AND I can't delete cydia to try again...so I'm kinda stuck. Prob gonna have to fresh it up and reload 4.1. We'll see.

i have to say, i was having the same problem as many no being able to limera1n their devices, one of mine being the ipod touch 3g. looking thru the dev team's blog, i found others with the same problem and a SIMPLE fix that WORKED...add to the instructions, OPEN iTunes before starting the process and leave itunes open while performing the limera1n jailbreak and it worked the first time...voila.

MacBook Pro 4,1 (2.5 Ghz 6GB [Penryn])
OS X 10.6.4
VMware Fusion 3.1.0 (254806)
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit
iPhone 3G[S] 32GB White MB718LL 05.14.02 359.3
I have tried:
a) Restarting (device, VM, and mbp)
b) Delaying the release of the sleep/wake button
c) Leaving iTunes open on VM
d) Changing USB ports
e) Sn0wbreeze 2.0.2
f) Upgrading to iTunes 10 (OS X & 7)
g) Restoring from backup of 4.0.2
h) Restoring from backup of 4.1
h) Restoring to 'new' via iTunes in OSX
i) Restoring to 'new' under iTunes in Windows 7
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Tomorrow I'll try a Windows machine (Dell 700m) and post results.
I'm looking forward to a Mac version of limera1n, but of course I'll take what I can get! Either way, thanks devteam, geohot et al -- let me know if you need a tester for a new/updated tool.

So i want to jailbreak and unlock my iphone 3gs that is running 4.1, 05.14.02, and as a bootrom of 359.3.2. I know with limera1n i can now JB, and i know there is no unlock for the 4.1 out yet, but will an unlock be coming out? I just got this iphone a little while ago, so i never updated it, it was sent to me by apple on 4.1, 05.14.02 and on the new bootrom, will downloading this jailbreak, hurt my chances of unlocking in the future when dev team, or someone, releases a 4.1 unlock??

Preserve your baseband using tinyumbrella and you'l be able to unlock in the future.
You might be in the same boat as me where the Limera1n JB doesn't work! Good luck though!!!
