Quick question regarding Jail Broken iPhones

It shouldn't screw up the phone, you'll just lose the jail break until the team that develops the JB software catches up and releases a new JB. For example I kept my 4S on 5.1.1 until the untethered JB version for iOS 6 was released. I then did the standard update to stock iOS 6 on iTunes with no issues at all (actually to iOS 6.1.2). I then Jailbroke the the phone and not having any issues now.

 

One other thing, you can always revert back to the stock iOS just by performing a full restore on iTunes. I've had to do that a couple of times when I needed to take the phone into the Apple Store - technically if you JB the phone you void your warranty, but if you revert back to the stock iOS before taking it in you'll be fine.

DON'T UPGRADE OTA. It won't work and you'll just have to do it on a computer after to fix it (though new Evasion upgrades disables the OTA function to protect you). It will break your phone until you do a restore at iTunes. Then of course you cannot return to 6.1.2 and therefore cannot jailbreak again.

 

Old thread but the conclusion of this one is unacceptable to any newbies viewing this.

    • Would anyone else be curious in helping me compile a list of quirks for various devices/modems/chipsets for SCP? I've noticed that Mediatek chipsets seem to report more information than Qualcomm. I bought a cheap Moto G 5G 2024 and notice that it displays the LTE downlink bandwidth, and the NSA information of T-Mobile, something that my S22+, which is also Qualcomm, won't do. I'm hoping that we can convince either Google or OEMs to fix their reporting on various devices. So far across all Qualcomm devices I've tested: - NR neighbor cells don't report - NR downlink or uplink bandwidth doesn't report (NR doesn't appear with CA as a result, only showing LTE) - NR signal levels randomly stop updating for various period of time before continuing to update (affects CellMapper more) - LTE CA levels randomly report and don't always update quickly when CA changes   On the S22: - LTE Timing Advance (TA) doesn't work and always reports 0, reported issue to Samsung and waiting to hear back   On the Samsung Galaxy S series (USA - Qualcomm Snapdragon): - LTE downlink or uplink bandwidth isn't reported - T-Mobile NR NSA doesn't report band information, AT&T & Verizon work OK (n5 & n77 tested)
    • Definitely. There are still a handful of Sprint sites here that haven't been decommissioned yet but also haven't been upgraded yet and they're offline. I think T-Mobile really wants to keep them but for one reason or another is running into trouble.
    • November security update is out.
    • 439.02 November Security patch is available on S24+ this morning.
