If you have jailbroken and/or unlocked your iPhone then it would be prudent to wait for iPhone Dev Team to release tools to jailbreak and unlock iOS 4.1 before upgrading to it. They have just issued another warning to jailbreakers and unlockers to avoid upgrading to iOS 4.1.
But if you don’t care about jailbreaking or unlocking your iPhone then connect your iPhone or iPod Touch to your computer and click on the "Check for Update" button from the device summary page in iTunes to download the iOS 4.1 software update.
As always, please don't forget to tell us how it goes and if it fixes the issues that you might be facing.
cool ! will wait for dev team for the jailbreak
just downloaded it.. cant wait to see if my proximity sensor is fixed… Oh yea and FIRST!
damn
damn to the proximity sensor?
Jailbreak or not. I'm installing it on my 3g. I need a stable OS, and I'm too attached to 4.0.
HERE WE GO BUT I STILL CANT FIX MY 3G WITH THIS UPGRADE… CUZ I DONT WANNA LOSE MY JAILBREAK
Any info on proximity sensor fix? does it work? I am only going to update if this issue is resolved.
Is it fixed?
mine was fixed
Let's just all hop that the roumer of comex releasing a jail break soon are true! I waited over a month for the last jailbreak and it sucked!!
Downloading the software now, wow 70 min. to download oh well I can wait.
if you mean neutered the jailbreak yes it was fixed – pity about that but performance seems better on 3GS
HDR makes a lot if difference!! I love it, you get a choice of two snaps..I always thought the originals were over blown and too rich, this is awesome!
I never had a proximity issue anyway, hope the bloody update doesn't give me one lol
haha. he wasn't first.
Has anyone tested to see if redsn0w works if you point it to FW 4.0?
What would be the reason to update ipod?
WHO KNOWS ….
SOMEBODY SAYS YOU HAVE A JAILBREAK FOR THIS THING …..
C'MON GUYS
Someone said I do? No i do not. I am going to check into redsnow working. i was the first to figure out it worked for 4.02 if pointed towards 4.0
CONGRATS IF YOU DID….
AS YOU MENTIONED IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO TRY THAT.. LET US KNOW ABOUT THE RESULT
I have a new 3GS that has not been jailbroken or unlocked, however i am waiting for the new stuff so i can. is it safe for me to upgrade to 4.1 and jailbreak and unlock? what do i use to do it?
sorry i'm very new to this =\
ALSO.. i tried to jailbreak it before but it ended up upgrading me to 4.0.2 so i wasnt able to jailbreak using jailbreakme.com…
will someone be creating a new jailbreakme.com for 4.1?
IF I WERE YOU I WOULD HOLD BACK FOR NOW ON UPGRADING CUZ IT'S NOT CLEAR YET
what ios r u on
If you want to jailbreak and unlock your iPhone then you should not update to iOS 4.1. More details available here:
http://www.iphonehacks.com/2010/09/iphone-dev-team-warn-jailbreakers-and-unlockers-to-avoid-upgrading-to-ios-4-1.html
I'm on version 4.0.2 and my modem firmware is 05.13.04
is this bootrom like redsnow, quickpwn, spirit or is it webbased like jailbreakme.com ??
I tried to downgrade to 4.0.1 but everything i have tried has not worked. I've been searching hi and low to downgrade it. do you have any suggestions?
did u save ur shsh on tinyumbrella ?
Bootrom Based Exploit
did u try ruing tss server in tinyumbrella while trying to downgrading leave it running the whole time
what is Jailbreak Using New Bootrom Based Exploit ??
YES AN IMOVIE UPDATE!!!
4.1 update includes firmware update also ??
any chance this game center thing will detect cracked apps(games)?
openfient can so it would make sense for apple to implement the same detection system into game center.
what a bunch of bullshit. f apple. urrgghh.
PROX SENSOR STILL ACTS UP ALL THE TIME. ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE. NO FIX.
MY PHONE IS USELESS TO MAKE CALLS.
iOS 4.1 Jailbreak Using New Bootrom Based Exploit Confirmed !
The iPhone hacker (pod2g of Chronic Dev Team) who previously found the 24kpwn exploit has successfully managed to find another bootrom based exploit which can jailbreak all iOS based devices on the latest iOS 4.1 firmware. What this means is that the next jailbreak most probably is going to be based on bootrom exploit which unlike JailbreakMe will enable users to change boot and recovery mode logos among many other things.
Members of both iPhone Dev Team and Chronic Dev Team confirmed this on Twitter:
cpich3g: congrats to @pod2g for the latest exploit and also @p0sixninja who have been trying for months.
pod2g: iPhone 4G iBSS 4.0.1: iv=91f94e5d726a2d2f2c7ffad58d4f3b77 key=d05c3c40db40e738926f811b8b1314038d26096c4102461698a49098c47a3fe6
MuscleNerd: Crazy timing that @pod2g got latest exploit just as 4.1 went public (lots of work left…keep away from 4.1 for now!)
Also, the best thing about a low-level bootrom exploit is that Apple wont be able to patch it simply by releasing a new firmware update. Instead, it will require Apple to release a revised hardware version of iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad and the iPod touches with new bootroms in order to patch the bootrom exploit. This is the reason why iOS devices (like iPhone 3GS (new bootrom), iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch 3G / 4G) which shipped after November 2009 are currently not jailbreakable via PwnageTool because it uses the 24kpwn bootrom exploit, already patched by Apple.
awesome. a bootrom exploit. how about an exploit that makes my phone usable with a prox sensor fix. that'd be kinda handy.
Anyone having issues sending SMS since updating to 4.1 on a iPhone 4??
My send bar takes ages, and sometimes fails. Didn't use too??
If it is not fixed, take it back to apple…. Mine is fixed…
Yep mine too
You will not be able to call a jailbroken iPhone 4 with your new ipod touch.
"iPhone users who want to call iPod touch users can simply select their e-mail address to initiate a FaceTime call, although you’ll need to upgrade to iOS 4.1 on your iPhone in order to do so."
Am i stupid or have they removed the custom ringtone option whenchanging the ringtone for specidic contacts? Can't seem to see it, i just got my iphone 4 and didn't look to see if it was an option before i updated to iOS4.1?
Great job Dev Team! As stated several times we should be able too use our phones as we please. Thanks again guys for all your hard work!
Nice copy n paste job there
4.1 update includes firmware update also ??
Ffs my 4 is worse after this update, SMS taking ages to send now, calls dint always give a diall tone, light sensor isn't worth a wank either.
I just looked and it is in the contact edit screen. I see it right below the email addresses of a contact.
No it has to do with the hardware inside of the iPhone or iPod so it would take apple a long while to fix the exploit because they would have to change the parts inside of the iDevice
Very sad to say that the two key reasons for the update the screen shutoff during a call when the phone is near the face and the Bluetooth quality are NOT fixed in 4.1!!!! For the first time since the first iPhone I am thinking it's time to jump ship this is crucial functionality to a phone and AT&T dropping 80+% of calls in phoenix has me very unhappy!
