Stuck At Purple Screen On JailbreakMe? Try This

Sébastien Page ∙ August 2, 2010

Many of you who tried to jailbreak your iPhone using JailbreakMe have encountered this issue where the phone gets stuck on the purple screen and nothing happens. At first we thought JailbreakMe was down or something but the problem actually comes from a cache issue on your iPhone!

The fix is pretty simple:

Go to Settings > Safari > Clear History, Clear Cookies, Clear Cache Reboot your iPhone Try JailbreakMe.com again

If it still doesn't work, go through this cleaning process again but this time use http://jailbreakme.modmyi.com instead of JailbreakMe.com.

It worked great for me and many others. Tell us how it works for you.

JailbreakMe is Down

Sébastien Page ∙ August 1, 2010

If you have tried to use JailbreakMe to jailbreak your iPhone in the last couple of hours, you probably were unsuccessful as the site appears to have technical difficulties. JailbreakMe.com actually loads ok but when you "slide to jailbreak", nothing seems to happen.

I have noticed weird little things going on on my iPhone 4 after trying to unsuccessfully use JailbreakMe. For example, my iPhone 4 doesn't save pictures anymore. While I can snap pictures, they are not being saved to the camera roll. Only a reboot seems to fix this.

There is definitely something going on with the latest version of JailbreakMe Comex uploaded to the servers.

I suggest we call it a day and try again in the morning. What do you say?

How to Fix MMS and FaceTime Issue After Jailbreaking with JailbreakMe

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

Most of you who jailbroke their iPhone 4 using JailbreakMe lost their MMS and FaceTime capability. I just found out about a fix thanks to Krapps and Branden3112.

To fix your MMS and FaceTime issue, simply follow these steps:

Go to Cydia and add this source: http://iphonedelivery.advinux.com/cydia/ Once this source has been added, install "iPhoneDelivery" from it. Reboot your iPhone Go to Settings > Phone > Turn FaceTime ON Done!

Thanks Branden for the  trick!

This is not an "official" fix from the Dev Team but I tried it myself and I can tell you it works. The Dev Team is still working on a fix that will most likely be available via Cydia.

If you use JailbreakMe now, you shouldn't have any problem as it's been updated to fix the issue. If you can't wait for the official fix and if you don't want to try this unofficial fix, you can always restore, and jailbreak again with the updated JailbreakMe.

iPhone 4 Unlock Delayed

Sébastien Page ∙ August 1, 2010

While there is now a jailbreak for iOS 4 and an unlock for the iPhone 3G and 3GS, there is still no unlock for the iPhone 4. In a tweet sent earlier today, MuscleNerd said the Dev Team will push back the release of the iPhone 4 unlock for a short period, just the time for them to test it out a little bit more.

If I had a guess, I'd say the iPhone 4 unlock will come in the next few days, so don't go anywhere, I'll keep you posted!
