Jailbreak.jar doesnt work on my g4 Mac is start the application but Progress" window never shows up. I also tried on windows xp. 1 machine shows you need service pack 2. the newer machine has sp2 but the jailbreak .bat program opens a 10th of a second and closes immediately again.
Does jailbreak.jar only work on intel macs?

FINALLY - I solved my problem having spent evey spare hour since the 22nd Dec searching forums for anyone with a similar experience - what I found suprises me - if you install Java AFTER iTunes7.5 on Vista - jailbreak fails with the message that you must first run OKtoPrep - even if you have... so I uninstalled both, reinstalled Java then itunes and bingo! it all worked as above

I now have 2 iPhones stuck trying to jailbreak after 1.1.2 ==> 1.1.1 OKtoPrep ==> 1.1.2 where the error message is "Jailbreak Failed" you must run OKtoPrep.

I've also got the language choice set to English on the iPhone.

(Windows Vista) - so many folks have succeeded - I am going crazy not being able to get this completed - any suggestions welcome!

like it was before, after jailbreaking my iphone, i've been experiencing crashes after awhile. sometimes when i use safari it hangs for awhile then takes me back to the main menu screen. after a few tries the iphone restarts. it's not just safari but also on other applications like when i try to call, sms, etc. things start to work again after it restarts by itself or when i restart it myself then a bit later when i use any of my applications my iphone hangs, crashes, and/or restarts again. is it just the instability of third party softwares? but how come i don't read any issues regarding this? also the only thirdparty stuff i have is the installer, springboard, customise, and vnotes. please help.

Hi,

Is there way to have iTunes use downloaded 1.1.1 to do the restore without connecting, downloading, and forcing 1.1.2 to be the version restored? I am stuck on a Windows machine.

My iPhone had been jailbroken and has been OktoPrepped.

Regards,

Jim

Can this process work with US OOB 1.1.2 version iphone with new bootloader

Re: iPhone: Jailbreaking 1.1.2 - This time it WORKED!

Henry — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 03:45:58 -0000

Is this method useful for a 1.1.2 new iphone? I mean a factory 1.1.2 iPhone.

i followed all the step. But when I try to use the jailbreak jar its says error i dont have okteop installed.

I installed okteop on firmware 1.1.1 and then while the phone was on i restored it to firmware 1.1.2. Was this right???

I also have the the libreadline installed on my mac. I dont know what i did wrong. I followed the instructions right.

I have been stuck on step 16. I launch the jar but it doesn't look exactly like the screen shot is has a reboot option. I click jail break and nothing happens. no progress bar. Any thoughts?

Ok. i found these instructions at the Iphone-elite wiki, follow them in order to get edge working again!

If you're using O2 you'll now have an activated, jailbroken iPhone with 1.1.2 firmware (again) and a working phone.

However, VisualVoicemail and EDGE will not work properly - this is easily fixed, simply install BSD Subsystem and OpenSSH using Installer.app and then SSH into the iPhone and type the following two commands;

rm /var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.carrier.plist

ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/O2_UK.plist /var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.carrier.plist

rm -f /var/root/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist

Reboot your iPhone, and all going well you'll now have EDGE and VisualVoicemail working again

You now have a 1.1.2 O2-UK iPhone with all the third party apps you could want. Enjoy :)

Confirmed. Beware people! this method breaks EDGE on the O2 network. Do not try this method if you want "Could not activate EDGE. You are not subscribed to EDGE" message. Restoring to 1.1.2 proper fixes the problem. Don't know a workaround at this point.

HI. I tried this and IT WORKED! but for some reason my EDGE is broken now. anyone else had that problem? I installed a bunch of other stuff as well so I will do a system restore, try this again, then see if my edge works (without installing a bunch of 3rd party apps first)

To Louis:

just switch off "Open save downloads" or something like that in General tab of Safari's Preferences. It handles that unwanted unzipping :)

I've tried to download the 1.1.1 firmware from so many places, and they are all the same file. But every time I download it, my iMac automatically unpacks the .zip file and it turns into lots of files inside 1 folder. I can't pick this folder to use to restore my iphone in iTunes, so I can't downgrade. I have tried changing the extension on the folder to _Restore.ipsw, _Restore.ipsw.zip... nothing works.

Please help, I haven't seen anyone else with this problem and it is very frustrating.

Hey thanks for your help. But im still stuck. Sorry im taking so long.

I managed to get the libreadline file to the usr/local/lib/
This is what I did after I copied the thing

Hitesh-Batra:~ hiteshbatra$ cd /
Hitesh-Batra:/ hiteshbatra$ pwd
/
Hitesh-Batra:/ hiteshbatra$ open usr/local/lib/

Its showing the file is there. Now when I double ckick the jailbreak.jar file its STILL showing the OktoPrep error. And Itunes still doesn't detect the iphone. So I cant go forward and backward. And the iphone restore by pusing the home and sleep thing still doesnt work (itunes doesn't detect)

Can you please help me.

@ Hitesh,

It looks like you were very close to getting the stuff set in the terminal. Did you look at the instructions that I posted at the end? Read through those and try the terminal stuff again. I think where you went wrong was typing "cd" which put you into your home directory ("/Users/hiteshbatra/") when you should really be in the rood directory ("/"). You get there by typing "cd /". Then if you do a "pwd" command, you will see that the path is "/" and not "/Users/xxxxx/".
So, try to follow the instructions at the end of the post. It looks to me that you will need to create the "local" directory will need to be created as well.
In terms of your questions about Activation and No Oktoprep error, I believe (trying to think back) that once you do get the jailbreak in, you will be able to Activate through iTunes.
Are you double-clicking on the jailbreak.jar? But try to get the libreadline item in to your Mac if you can.
Also, this later post does have a better installer mentioned, however if you are in mid process, you might have to try to finish what you have started here.
Sorry if it is hard, it did take me quite a few tries to get it to work (you need to have a few hours to spare).

@ Paul,

Thanks for pitching in in my absence! I do appreciate the help!

Thanks for your reply but English was the first choice on my mac os x and I restarted it a couple of times. I cant do anything with my iphone cos its stuck on the "connect to itunes" sign. Not "Activate on itunes".
Is the "no Oktoprep error" and "no Iphone connected" error the same. If it is I guess I'm missing the libread file on the directory step which I cant seem to figure out.
