Saw this live an hour ago on Twit. Don't do this on an iPad yet. It screwed up Leo Laporte's live.

Just did this on an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.1. Worked like a charm! Some of the Cydia repositories are being hit hard and may time out the first time you load Cydia (BigBoss especially).

Edit: MyWi's USB tethering works, looks like Wifi tethering does not.

Lost my FaceTime capability after jailbreak.

Looks like MMS vanished too, at least for me.

UPDATE: You can work around by doing a backup first, jailbreaking, and then restoring from backup (which just copies settings/etc over). Stays jailbroken. If you have a pre-jailbreak backup apply that to fix.

People on twitter are saying if you jailbreak from jailbreakme.com, and then do a full restore, you will get FaceTime/MMS functionality back. Unconfirmed

I posted this on another thread...

I'd like to know how this works. Using this method, couldn't any site install arbitrary software on an iPhone through Safari without the user knowing? Or am I missing something?

I urge anyone looking to do this to:

1. save your shsh keys locally and to cydia 2. If you are on 4.0 do not upgrade 3. Wait couple more days for reports

Finally. I've really missed iBlacklist, in the first week on iPhone 4 I had too many "should have been blocked" calls.

Why do ex-girlfirends of many years ago think calling now is a good idea?
