Jailbreak

[tye]

Hi guys,
Just wondered if any of our senior members could recommend a jailbreak for verizon verison running 4.2.8 with the low baseband. Is it worth it ?? And if i do jailbreak and Ios5 comes out will I be able to update to that version??? Thanks for the responses.

A Verizon phone? Just use the latest version of snowbreeze to jailbreak it and that's it. You will be able to upgrade to iOS 5 once it is release to public without troubles.

Okey if you've use iTunes to upgrade your Verizon iphone to 4.2.8 I think that you can get the ipsw at this location on your computer:
You should first allow hidden file to be showed, you can clic organize >folder and search options. in the popup wondow clic on tab "view" then mark "show hidden files, folders and drives" when that's done go to
C: user > username(your comp user name) > appData > Roaming > apple computer > iTunes > iPhone Softwarw Updates. In that folder you will find your the ipsw which was downloaded by itunes and used by itunes to upgrade your iOS. you can copy, NOT CUT the ipsw to another location like to your desktop. You can then direct snowbreeze to that location "your desktop" to find the ipsw

On a mac computer :
Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iTunes/iPod Firmware

Good luck.

Woot! I did it!

nicely done!

some good/must have apps..

sbsettings
openSSH
Terminal
winterboard..

all free

once i get those apps, how do i make a icon for them????

 

[Gregoris]

are you thinking of making your own theme?

 

[tye]

nah, not really, just want to be able to see the cydia apps as icons if possible

 

[Gregoris]

some cydia apps dont have icons just have settings, like for sbsettings to toggle it you just swipe your finger across the clock... but ones that do will automatically load onto the springboard so you dont need to make any icons unless you want to make a theme
