iPhone 4 and other iDevice Jailbreaks Now a Reality!

iphone4jailbreak This just in! The long awaited iPhone 4 jailbreak is ready! Big props to @Comex for this elegant method- you are amazing!. It’s the return of Jailbreakme.com from the old 1.0 days.

This Jailbreak not only does the iPhone 4- but all iOS devices on 3.1.2 firmware, or newer.

So basically iOS devices running anything from 3.1.2 to 4.0.1 are supported.

Just go to jailbreakme.com from mobile Safari and “Slide to Jailbreak”.

Haven’t been able to do it yet since everyone’s hitting the servers at once, but I’ll report back soon!

NOTE: Not all jailbreak apps will work on iOS 4. Most of them are still being ported over from iOS 3 so check this chart before installing any apps from Cydia!

UPDATE 1: I finally got through to the site, and was able to Jailbreak flawlessly.

UPDATE 2: My MMS functionality seems to have gone away- no camera button in Messages.app.

Update 3: Looks like my FaceTime button is gone as well, and replaced with “Hold”. I’m not too worried, as I’m sure fixes for MMS, and FaceTime are coming real soon- you’ve been warned!

Update 4: All MMS + FaceTime issues have been fixed. So if you’re a new Jailbreaker, just go to jailbreakme.com from mobile Safari, and “Slide to Jailbreak” as usual.

If you’ve already Jailbroke- just launch Cydia and it should prompt you to update, this should fix MMS + FaceTime issues. You may need to enable FaceTime by going to “Settings > Phone > Facetime [ON]“

[iPad] Run iPhone Apps in High-Res on the iPad (no more pixel-doubling)

If any of you iPad owners ever ran an iPhone app on the device, you probably noticed that it didn’t scale too well. Luckily, Ryan Pertich has developed a Cydia app called FullForce.

This app (controlled in the Settings panel) scales most iPhone apps to the iPad’s native resolution.

I’ve tried Facebook, and Beejive IM and they looked absolutely great! Some apps may not format right, such as 3D games, but this is a must have for JB’d iPad owners, and It’s FREE
