iPhone 4 jailbreakMe 2.0

1. What is JailbreakMe 2.0?
This is the latest cross-device/firmware untethered jailbreak by comex. It was released on Sunday, August 1 (like the previous jailbreak, carrying over the "Sunday is Funday" slogan many veteran jailbreakers and unlockers are familiar with.


2. How Does this Jailbreak Work?
All you have to do is visit http://jailbreakme.com on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, 'Slide to Jailbreak' and wait for the rest of the process to take place on your device.

If that link is not loading, please use ModMyi's alternative link to jailbreak your device.


3. My Device Just Hangs at a Purple Screen. What do I do?
This will usually mean there was a problem connection to the server and whatever you're attempting to do isn't working properly. After sliding, a windows should appear and you should notice a process similar to the one in the images below. If your jailbreak does not appear similar to mine, then something had gone wrong. Reboot and attempt the jailbreak again.

Please note that this process may take a few minutes, so be patient. It should look a little something like this:








4. Something Went Wrong! What do I do?
Please post any bugs below in the comments section or email comex at: comexk@gmail.com with a detailed log or error report and provide him with visuals if possible.

5. Where's the iPhone 4 Unlock?
Simply install the latest update of ultrasn0w 1.0-1 through Cydia like you did on older iPhone models and your iPhone 3GS and/or iPhone 4 should be unlocked.

6. My Device Needs to be Activated, so what do I do?
You'll need to purchase an official AT&T SIM card for the carrier your iPhone is locked to or purchase a phonebook SIM online and activate it that way. A quick search on Google/eBay should turn up a few different phonebook SIM cards that work on any iPhone.

This jailbreak IS NOT a hacktivation tool, so you must activate it through iTunes first.

Please remember to contact @comex and @MuscleNerd with any serious issues or head on over to the iPhone Dev-Team's blog to seek support from other users.

Update 1: The jailbreak is untethered and does not currently work with the iPad running 3.2.1 at this time. This, along with several other bugs and issues, including loss of FaceTime and MMS, missing pixels, etc are being looked into by comex and the rest of the Dev-Team. All bugs posted here are submitted straight to them.

Update 2: Restoring your iPhone from a backup appears to fix FaceTime and MMS issues. You should remember to ALWAYS save a backup before running a jailbreak on your device.

You jailbreak your device, open iTunes, right-click on your device in the side panel and select 'Restore from Backup...' and pick one.. Credit to @pilot76103 and a blog commenter for discovering this method.
