Hi all,
is there way putting DNS for Netflix/USA content on Apple TV3? I tried on friends and did not worked. I does the job on my Atv 2 with playmo.tv settings so far.

Thank you

atv doesnt directly support vpn settings, but there are third party services that claim to have a working solution for $5 a month ! google vpnfornetflix

thanks very much. any idea when it will be, weeks, months??

pod2g said on twitter during the week it just needs to be packaged, so weeks or less hopefully

(i dont know does it include atv right away, but Im sure once the seas0npass guys get the exploit, they will be able implement it)

basill · 16-05-2012 10:56am

pod2g is saying nothing for ATV yet. Couple of weeks away to get it packaged nicely. Here is a link with various quotes from them:-

Hi,

I have an iphone 4, running 5.1 and jailbroken with redsn0w (tethered). The phone is locked to vodafone and i am not eligible to have them unlock it for me, trying to unlock myself to switch to 3.

Followed a couple of tutorials online but neither worked, can anyone help me here?

thanks

Unless you have a preserved baseband then you can't go with a gervay sim , you can pay to have it unlocked online http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/Unlocking/iphone_ireland_vodafone_full_unlock.htm not recommending this crowd but It will give you some idea of the cost

Can anyone recommend a company to factory unlock an iPhone 4s? I am looking to buy a second hand one on adverts etc. Most are locked to a network

Just unlocked an 3GS over the weekend for someone on 5.1 / 6.15.00.

But SemiTether ain't working on it (nothing strange installed from Cydia to prevent it from booting), so tempted to hold onto it for the week and see if the untethered JB rolls out this week.

Does anyone know whats the story with updating my jailbroken ipod touch on 5.0.1 too the 5.1.1 jailbreak when it comes out this week ? do I update my ipod to 5.1.1 then jailbreak it when the jailbreak is released this week ? will I lose my apps and tweaks if I update to 5.1.1 ?

finbarrk · 23-05-2012 2:47am

Can my iPhone 4 be unlocked from the three network without upsetting stuff on it? It's firmware says 04.12.01 whats the best option? Version is 5.1.1 (9B206)
I just want to stick a foreign sim in it when I'm abroad this summer.
Thanks.

threein99 · 25-05-2012 2:19pm

Is it worth the hassle to upgrade to this version of the jailbreak, I have an ipod touch jailbroken running 5.0.1. I dont really see the merits of upgrading to 5.1.1

Depends how long it is before the next jailbreak, Apps might stop supporting 5.0 before the stop 5.1. If everything is running ok for you i'd say stay where you are.

Personally i like staying up to date so i'd probably move up

No mention of ATV2 in the notes.

http://greenpois0n.com/

Strange because pod2g had mentioned ATV2 a few days back.

http://pod2g-ios.blogspot.com/

Basq · 25-05-2012 2:59pm

Will wait for a few days to see if any oddities occur with JB..

ironictoaster · 25-05-2012 3:03pm

Tried it there, it is saying my iPhone 4 is unsupported on 5.1.1 using the OSX version.

Edit:

Nevermind, was on 5.1 not 5.1.1

jaykay74 · 25-05-2012 3:10pm

I see the ATV2 untethered JB is covered by a new version of Seas0nPass released today as well.

Great news, I have my iPhone 4 on iOS 5.1 on a tethered JB using redsn0w, I wonder what do I have to do to get on an untethered jb now? Do I have to restore it to wipe out the old jailbreak?

Doylers · 25-05-2012 7:23pm

Finishing up now, jailbreak went fine, did a full restore so my sync in takes years. One or 2 errors on cydia with sources I added this happened before with the first jailbreak for the 4s I think its just extra load being put on their servers

There's a Cydia package that'll change your tethered to an untethered jailbreak with just a reboot. something raccoon. Just read it a minute ago but for the life of me I can't remember the proper name. Lol.

Anyway just search for raccoon after Cydia goes through its usual reloading screen.

Did it to mine earlier. Perfect!

apkb · 27-05-2012 1:31pm

I just updated to a custom 5.1.1 preserving my ipad baseband. Can anybody help me with unlocking the phone again? I've been trying 'repo.iparelhos.com' to get the ultrasn0w fixer but get 'Did not find repository' error message. Is there another repo I can use to get the fixer? I hear cydia's servers are down, is that my only problem?

Fresh Pots · 27-05-2012 4:49pm

Absinthe 2.0.2 has been released to jailbreak the ios 5's new build of 5.1.1 (9B208)

yes..make sure you're using the latest version of absinthe...2.02 is the latest I think.

princemuzzy · 28-05-2012 12:29pm

When updating and re jail breaking atv 2 using season pass should I restore using original apple firmware and then restore with seasonpas custom firmware or just go straight ahead and restore with custom firmware

Toots · 28-05-2012 1:41pm

I've jailbroken my iphone 4 and installed dreamboard for some themes. I'm using a theme called ERGO HD, but I would like to have my own lock screen picture instead of the default one for the theme but I can't figure out how to change it. I've googled and googled but still can't find an answer, can anyone help?

guil · 28-05-2012 4:52pm

You can edit it by finding the theme with a file browser and replacing the image with your own. There's a bit more to it than that but that's the just of it

msg11 · 29-05-2012 4:47pm

Done a jail break on mine 4s worked fine. Any unlocks available for different networks? Or is at change the IPSW to custom to unlock ?

Also the guy I bought it off might have forgot to mention it's blocked by 3 as to locked to 3, it shows no service with a 3 sim in it? Any ideas..

Kinda pissed I never tried a sim card in it now, hassle of this.

Did you try Ultrasn0w Fixer on Cydia?

Actually, need to do an unlock this evening for someone myself, so should find out if Ultrasn0w Fixer works on 5.1.1 before doing it.

If you are already on the latest firmware then just use SP. But if you are on an older firmware then restore and update, the use SP.

I'll give it a bash if you want ? Is it in the cydia store. Must say the 4s is a very fast phone, very impressed with it.

As far as I know, ultrasn0w doesn't work on any 4s basebands.
It works in a few 3GS basebands and only works on one iPhone 4 baseband which is 01.59.00 and is rare enough as it was the baseband that shipped with the first assignment of iphone 4. So needed to be preserved all the way through each update.
I can confirm though that ultrasn0w works on iPhone 4 01.59.00 when installed after ultrasn0w fixer.

Basq · 29-05-2012 5:03pm

Yeah, I was able to unlock a 3GS on 5.1 on the iPad Baseband last week..

.. but it was before the untethered JB was released.

So gonna retry the JB / unlock this evening.. so am hoping it'll still work on 5.1.1.

As guil said you need a file browser. Winscp is good for windows or you could get ifile in cydia and browse for the location right on your phone.
I don't have winterboard anymore but I used to have it and I messed around with changing backgrounds, icons, loading screens etc.
Can't remember the exact path but the place to start is var/stash
And after that it's either /themes or it's /applications/themes

Let's know how you get in, sorry I don't have the exact directory but I don't have the folders because I don't have winterboard.

msg11 · 29-05-2012 5:05pm

Having issues here on the 4s with the ultrasn0w fixer..

Install errors with ultrasnOw

subprocess post-installtion script returned error exit status 255

subprocess /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Think it's something to do with the baseband.

2.0.12 BB

Hi all, I have recently jailbroken my 4s and I'm wondering if I can unlock it as I'm travelling next week. I was in the UK last month and was charged ~€30 for 4 days which I thought was ridiculous and I don't want to get stung again! Can anyone help?

There is no unlock available for the 4S unless you get a Gevey sim for it. Have you tried getting O2 to unlock it?

Basq · 29-05-2012 8:56pm

Gah.. this is frustrating!

- Upgraded iPhone 3GS on 6.15.00 baseband to 5.1 (and preserved it.. all fine!)
- Then I'd to carry out a tethered JB in order to hacktivate it (since Absinthe won't do it when not activated)
- Then installed Ultrasn0w Fixer 5.1.1 and Ultrasnow to fix 'no service'
- Then installed Rocky Racoon Untether 5.1.1 to make JB untethered

All appeared to work perfectly.. but when I restart the phone, it just goes to a solid black screen and won't respond to being powered on.

It's almost like it's constantly in DFU mode as the only way to get it back is to 'Boot tethered' in DFU mode.

The newest RedSnow (0.9.11b4) has 'Fix Recovery Loop' disabled while the slightly older one (0.9.10b6) has it enabled but it doesn't do much!

Christ... pain in the arse!

EDIT: Fixed.. accidentally chosen old bootrom instead of new bootrom.Now up-and-running!
