Help with jailbreaking and Cydia for iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches.

Question

Hi, I Jailbroke iOS 6 with redsnow dev4 and then sshed into it and installed cydia... After using my iPhone 4 non stop for a few hours, battery died... Charged it up and without plugging into redsnow and choosing Just Boot, the iPhone turned on and powered on.... Cydia tweaks don't work but everything else is fine, the exception being mobilesafari, but that's ok...

So is iOS 6 semi tethered????

Tq -SDK

Accepted Answer

See this explanation of tethered jailbreaks:

Depending on the packages installed on a device with a tethered jailbreak, you may actually have a "semi-tethered jailbreak", which means that when you reboot your device without plugging it in, your device boots up seemingly "un-jailbroken" and Cydia and Safari crash when you tap them. To fix that situation, boot tethered.

In more detail: tethered jailbreaks behave semi-tethered by default. If you install Mobile Substrate tweaks, your device will still be semi-tethered. But if you install Notification Center plugins that don't depend on WeeLoader, your device will no longer be semi-tethered - unless you also install the BigBoss semitether package.

Also, it's not recommended to install Cydia on iOS 6 yet - it's not ready.

Answer 2

I have the same issues as Tq-SDK.. i updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and tethered jailbroke it and everything seemed to be working good.. installed Cydia okay and a few tweaks (Barrel, DoubleDock, AskToCall, CallLock, SBSettings).. after a few hrs of intensively being on the phone and running Cydia, my phone froze/crashed.. i 'JustBoot' tethered booted, phone started up fine, but things were different, like DoubleDock wasn't double any longer, SBSettings no longer dropped down after swiping the status bar, so I knew something was up..

I opened up Activator and a pop up message stated Activator and MobileSubstrate were disabled, however, the phone was not in Safe Mode it was in normal mode.. after many JustBoot attempts, I restored and re-jailbroke.. after a few hrs, the same thing happened (phone crash/mobilesubstrate died).. I've tried so many different solutions, even trying to reinstall mobilesubstrate in Cydia but nothing is helping.. :-( the only option is to restore and re-jailbreak but I feel that is a waste of time right now..

like britta said above, I don't think this is a stable release whatsoever.. :-/ I thought I was alone but glad to see other ppl are having issues w/iOS 6 jailbreak on the i4 as well.. :-(

Also, very very sad that Iconoclasm isn't iOS 6 compatible (apparently there is no IconSupport in iOS 6..??)

Answer 3

1	Partly yes. As Britta quotes it depends on the packages the user has installed. link answered 22 Sep '12, 08:00 iMast777 913●2●7

Answer 4

Ive done this a few times now out of sheer amazement that it worked but it turned out to be very simple. I was having the same questions/concerns about the stability of cydia on os 6. Its not that i was expecting a precise, polished version, it was that i was expecting to be stuck on the apple logo, have to dfu, then boot tethered like usual. Finally after 4 restore/rejailbreak cycles i realized where my error was; you have to select ipsw point it to os 6 then go back and hit just boot your welcome

Answer 5

0

Technically yes. The jailbreak only implemented SSH but you forced install Cydia. So it's kinda untether.

The jailbreak is only tethered. If you really want it Google redsn0w dev 4

Open redsn0w dev. And click Just Boot. Or downgrade with the stitched IPSW.

Just don't stitch with the dev version of redsn0w. I learned that the hard way.

Tell me about it lol, i spent 7 hours trying to stitch and pwndfu then shift and restore using iTunes but it kept giving me loads of errors,, so i decided to restore to the signed version of ios 6 GM without shsh (jailbreak)

Unfortunately it's not that simple anymore, since Apple is no longer signing iOS 5.1.1 for devices that can be upgraded to iOS 6.0. See this guide for more details.
