IOS 5/IOS 6/IOS 7 Update: Warning To All IPhone/IPad Users! by Nobody: 7:24am On Oct 10, 2011
This warning below also applies to the IOS 6 and IOS 7 that will be released soon. If u are using chip with ur 4S and 5, DO NOT UPDATE!!!! CHECK LAST POST FOR UPDATE

This is to warn all iPhones, IPAD and iPod users that IOS 5 will (most likely) be released on the 12th of October, which means in two days time, when u connect your idevices to itunes (that is internet-enabled), u will see a pop up telling u that there is a new update for u(both itunes and IOS UPDATE). NOW U NEED TO BE CAREFULL.

1. If u av not jailbroken your idevice (ie u dont av d app called cydia) and u dont plan to, then u are free. just back up your idevice and click on update.

2. If u av d app called cydia on your idevice, DO NOT UPDATE/RESTORE YET. This is because once u upgrade, u will loose d jailbreak (possibly forever).

3. For those using iphone 4 with gevey/rebel chip inside,DO NOT UPDATE/RESTORE YET,even if u dont av the app called cydia. This is because once u upgrade to ios 5 directly, d chip will not work again (for life) because of d added security on the baseband of ios 5. U just need to wait for a full jailbreak on ios 5 before u upgrade while preserving the baseband that works with the chip (Its tricky but if u are patient, u will bypass d security).

4. for those using iphone 3GS, if your modem firmware is 5.11,5.12,5.13,6.15(go to settings-general-about page to check), just leave ios 5 alone jeje untill further notice. This is because those baseband have not worked on d ios 5 beta versions after installing ultrasn0w. BUT if your iphone 3GS has a baseband of 5.14,5.15,5.16 and u get network signals even if u dont av d app called cydia, then it means your 3GS is factory unlocked, which means u can also upgrade(IF U DONT NEED THE JAILBREAK.

5. For those using IPAD2 on 4.3.3 and u av the app called cydia, PLEASE DO NOT UPDATE/RESTORE YET, COS U WILL LOOSE D JAILBREAK . If your IPAD2 has anyother version apart from 4.3.3, u can upgrade.

I am taking my time to explain all these traps laid down by apple for jailbreakers because once u enter the trap and u call me, I wont repair d idamage for free  grin grin


Incase u av other warnings or corrections, feel free to comment.

Apple products are very fantastic products but they can be frustrating to use if u want to avoid all the limitations apple has put in place.

Call 08053250698 for further enquiries. u can also follow me on twitter @tumajay for the latest news on apple products.

With iOS 5, we’ve added over 200 new features — taking a mobile operating system that was already years ahead of anything else and moving it even further ahead.

Seriously dude,i still don't believe people are stupid enough to upgrade a jail broken device as soon as a new firmware is out.
Although,its good that you are warning them sha.

Plus even if they upgrade,they just have to wait for the new jailbreak.That's the worst that can happen now.Abi?lol!

My 3gs is factory unlocked, after jailbreaking my baseband is 6.15 on ios 4.1
Can i upgrade?

With that baseband of 6.15.00 on factory unlocked 3Gs, DO NOT INSTALL iOS5 Directly, if you do, your baseband will be messed-up real good!, you will have to downgrade to 4.XX and reflash your baseband with 6.15.00 from iPad, else your phone will never get network signal.

Create custom firmware of iOS 5 with snowbreeze.
If you are sure it is factory unlocked, do not select hacktivate, create your custom firmware of iOS5 and activate with your itune.

Google it. There are many shops selling OSX Lion GM or Sign-up for Apple Developer's account for only $100/year, then download all seeds for iOS and OSX GM release before it get to the public.

OSX Lion GM is about 3.46GB, it allow you to update your existing Snow Leopard directly. If u get the DVD fine, but if you will have to copy, make sure you are coping the disk image on a formatted hard-drive in Journal 3 format, (you may partition your removable hard-drive for this)

if ur 3gs is factory unlocked, y did u upgrade to d ipad baseband , how do u know its factory unlocked?

thats d worst that can happen to those with factory unlocked iphones and all d ipads,itouch. If ur iphone4 uses gevey to get network,u might never get network on it again if u upgrade directly to ios5 cos d chip (worth 10k for original) wont work again like i explained earlier. U will av to wait for another unlock solution (which might take months).


FYI, all these warnings are just to avoid SOFTWARE ISSUES, no hardware problem with upgrading ur iphone ooo  grin grin

the only (semi)hardware problem u might get when u mess up while upgrading/restoring is damaging the baseband chip(incharge of network signals). if u disconnect d iphone at aroung 80% while it is upgrading/restoring and u get the dreaded error 1002, u will need to change the motherboard of the iphone, which is as good as changing d fone.

I have seen some factory unlock 3Gs on baseband 6.15.00!!!
It is all a mistake, All the user involve never knew it was factory unlocked, so they downloaded hactivated Custom Firmware while migrating from iOS 3.1.3 to 4.1
As you know, hactivated custom firmware requires ultrasnow, With poor knowledge about unlocking iPhone, they got the baseband flashed with 6.15.00 so as to use ultrasnow to unlock, a very terrible mistake

IOS 5 JAILBREAK IS ALREADY UNTERTHERD, CONFIRMED TODAY BY ION1C. AND THOSE WITH IPAD BASEBAND ALSO WILL NOT HAVE TO WAIT TOO

Re: IOS 5/IOS 6/IOS 7 Update: Warning To All IPhone/IPad Users! by Bawss1(m): 3:09pm On Oct 10, 2011

this is d quote from ionic on twitter "As far as I know iOS 5 untether is covered by other people already. Guess who tongue" . from that sentence, theres no comfirmation that ios 5 is already untethered. posixninja is working on a userland jailbreak but they can only confirm when they get their hands on d iphone 4S to really confirm what they have. So dont upgrade hoping that there will be an untethered jb. wait for it before u upgrade.

@Poster/Anybody,

Just bought an IPAD-2 and a first time user (64 GIG, wifi + 3G) and have been struggling to download i-tunes since yesterday using my home wireless connection even though I have not installed a sim yet. I have managed to download some free Bibles and some videos but , got stuck waiting for my wife to help me out (She is our domestic IT Engineer) cheesy grin

Now to your warning, I plan to look out for the APP called CYDIA but how how do I know if my system is factory un-locked or jail-broken, or whatever ,

For those of us who know about jailbreak,we wont need to be told dis its simply jailbreak sense. But I know dat many i-users are unaware of dis so its typically for the layman. But still u re arming the layman wink

Yeah d write-up is mainly for the laymen especially those dat bought d fone already jailbroken(with cydia) and don't know d implication if updating.
Also for those dat bought iphone4 eith the gevey chip. 90% of them are buying it cos it cheaper yhan factory unlocked( diff of like 25k). Most sellers won't tell u all d disadvantages. They will just say "don't upgrade" without explaing d real reason not to upgrade. I just thought of d disaster dat could occur when d iOS 5 comes out and people start upgrading cos of d publicity. U will realise dat once IOS 5 comes out, factory unlocked iphone4 will become more expensive while d chipped ones will be cheaper untill a new unlock soln comes out.
