How To Jailbreak iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad On iOS 3.1.2 – iOS 4.0.1 With JailbreakMe.com (aka Star)

August 1, 2010 by Guest 69 Comments

After weeks of testing and preparation, the new iOS 4 jailbreak is finally released. Comex came through with another great, cross device, cross platform, new jailbreak. www.jailbreakme.com. Yes, that’s right, jailbreakme.com is back! Just visit the site on your device, and you’re jailbroken! No need to download a new software tool. No need to use your computer, at all. So easy. This was around back in the early days of jailbreaking, on iPhone OS 1.x.x. Looks like everything has come full circle.

This will jailbreak all iPhones and iPod Touches, old and new bootrom, untethered, on iOS 3.1.2, iOS 3.1.3, iOS 4.0, and iOS 4.0.1, and the iPad on iOS 3.2 and iOS 3.2.1. Below is a more detailed list:

  • iPod 1G – 3.1.2
  • iPod 1G – 3.1.3
  • iPod 2G – 3.1.2
  • iPod 2G – 3.1.3
  • iPod 2G – 4.0
  • iPod 3G – 3.1.2
  • iPod 3G – 3.1.3
  • iPod 3G – 4.0
  • iPad – 3.2
  • iPad – 3.2.1
  • iPhone 3G – 3.1.2
  • iPhone 3G – 3.1.3
  • iPhone 3G – 4.0
  • iPhone 3G – 4.0.1
  • iPhone 3GS – 3.1.2
  • iPhone 3GS – 3.1.3
  • iPhone 3GS – 4.0
  • iPhone 3GS – 4.0.1
  • iPhone 4 – 4.0
  • iPhone 4 – 4.0.1

How To Jailbreak iOS 3.1.2 – iOS 4.0.1 With JailbreakMe

Make sure you sync with iTunes first, and back up all your data. On your iDevice, open Safari, and go to www.jailbreakme.com. Make sure you are on a good secure WiFi connection.

Move the slider to the right. It’ll say “Downloading…this may take a while” The speed depends on your internet connection and the server. Once downloaded, it will start to jailbreak right away. Just wait. Once finished, you’ll get a message saying Cydia has been added to your homescreen. No reboot or respring required, but is recommended.

If it’s going slow, it’s just because the server is probably slammed. As soon as the was released, it crashed right away. If you get stuck at the purple screen, reboot and try again. You might get this message, after a failed attempt. Just keep trying.

That is it. Welcome to your jailbroken device! As always, you do this at your own risk. Comex and the iPhone Dev-Team have been able to do a fair bit of testing, but they obviously cannot test every single scenario. Make sure you back up all your data before attempting this.

Some known issues, right off that bat: some people report losing MMS. Others report losing FaceTime on the iPhone 4. There has also been an issue reported of this jailbreak not quite working on iPads with 3.2.1. We’ll keep you updated, with fixes.

Update #1: Cydia has been updated with a fix for the FaceTime/MMS issue.

    Is the boot screen changing so it looks like you have dead pixels? Or is it just me?

  3. Matt Chinn says

    August 2, 2010 at 1:45 am

    After updating to 4.0, simply run the jailbreak again.

    August 2, 2010 at 4:21 am

    Those of you stuck at the Apple logo; you'll have to restore. Connect your device. Press and hold the home and power buttons for about 30 seconds, or until it goes into recovery mode. Do a fresh restore. Jailbreak again. Restore from back up.

  24. Ripper92154 says

    August 2, 2010 at 4:41 am

    1, restore
    2,Backup
    3,Jailbreak
    4, restore from back up

  37. Blahblahman says

    August 3, 2010 at 2:18 am

    Just wondering, if i jailbreak my iPhone on ios4 with jailbreakme.com,

    Would it be possible to restore to a custom firmware made by pwnagetool or sn0wbreeze?
    Because states it only works on pre-jailbroken devices. Hence, its jailbroken and now shouldn't work?

  38. Wah45h says

    August 3, 2010 at 3:27 am

    hi ppl that face the problem i faced if it says downloading and then on sit tight it crashes the fix is to restore your iphone using itunes (this is for 4.0.1) and then go to jailbreakme.com and it should work . 100% will work.

  39. Grinaxelrose says

    August 3, 2010 at 6:40 am

    work like a charm wooohohohoh.if you didnt get the jb and you keep trying you need to turn off your device n wait for 2 min restart then try again there you go enjoy!!!!

  46. Chiaph says

    August 5, 2010 at 1:31 pm

    i also had mine too. i read from some others comment that it was common issues and awaiting for a fix?

  47. Alyssa Alyssa says

    August 6, 2010 at 4:15 pm

    guys, i want to try this out, but i'm kinda afraid…
    i have jailbroken my 3G with 4.0 and it works, sometimes slow, but okay and lots of apps, mainly cracked apps crash when start-up…

    i hope this jailbreakme solves the crashed apps issue, so i want to try to update to 4.0.1… but well, should I update through iTunes officially? im afraid i'll lose my unlock (ultrasn0w)… any ideas?

  48. rorypiper says

    August 6, 2010 at 6:35 pm

    Need to activate with an official SIM.

  49. rorypiper says

    August 6, 2010 at 6:38 pm

    No. “Pre-jailbroken” refers to being jailbroken with a bootrom exploit. Jailbreaks like Spirit and Star are a different kind of exploit. Still no new bootrom exploit out there.

  50. rorypiper says

    August 6, 2010 at 6:43 pm

    Planetbeing has said the “dead pixels” thing is normal. Not dead pixels. Just a quirk of the new jailbreak. Nothing to worry about.

  51. Robert R Delagarza says

    August 14, 2010 at 7:15 am

    Ok so I was stuck on the apple logo and restored it it on the 11th or whenever was the same date as the 4.0.2 update and I unknowingly updated. now I'm stuck on 4.0.2 with absolutely no jailbreaking option…so sad..please please help me!
