New Jailbreak for all iPhone OS 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3 devices (including iPad)

This worked great on my iPad. I'm trying to find apps that work (well) on iPad. So far I've only installed the following:<p>- RockApp - much faster/better package management than Cydia; works great on iPad. - Backgrounder - works great on iPad - true multitasking. - OpenSSH - also works. - Vi Improved (vim) - works great.<p>What I really want is a terminal app that uses the iPad screen and has full bluetooth (hardware) keyboard support for Control keys. I tried MobileTerminal, but the app is formatted for iPhone (comes up in a small window) and crashes immediately on iPad so it won't even run.<p>Warning: I tried SBSettings and it made my iPad almost unusable; like an iPhone with no wallpaper, only 4 icons in the dock, many apps didn't work, so I had to restore. Apparently SBSettings is not iPad friendly yet.<p>It would be great if others who have a jailbroken iPad could post apps that they know work or are safe to use, since the jailbreak ecosystem for iPad is still in it's infancy.

Does this install junk on your iPhone? For example, I do not want or need a general SSH server running on my phone. If I did this, it would be solely for tethering, and not for running Python media servers or SFTP or scripted Ruby GUIs or tweaking out the system or whatever. So I'm leery of running something that has the power to just shove a bunch of junk onto my phone, which is what happened the last time I tried this (and consequently reduced the battery life down to about a single day or less, until I restored it to normal. I don't even know what was draining it, but I'm assuming it was some kind of server daemon.)

What's the draw towards jailbreaking these days, anything interesting?

For everyone playing along at home and who's curious like I was: seems legit, and it jailbroke my phone (via OS X) in record time. I've tried a couple jailbreaks over the last year or two, and this one was pretty quick and painless.<p>Now off to explore a jailbroken iPhone for the first time in three years.

For anyone who wants to tether after they do this:<p>once you jail break - go to <a href="http://help.benm.at/" rel="nofollow">http://help.benm.at/</a> in your iphone browser and install the at&#38;t patch. I just did it (for 3.1.3 ) and it works great.<p>Cheers!

Been forced out of a jailbreak on my iPhone in the last 6 months (one hardware failure and phone replacement, one software screw-up) this is great news... Except, I just bought a Nexus One. A week ago I had to be issued a replacement iPhone 3GS from Apple- with the new bootrom and 3.1.3 things weren't looking good.<p>Still have both, still in the process of trying to decide which to keep- do I want semi-freedom and a less useful phone or a locked down but very functional communication appliance? Getting sick of riding the jailbreak/jailed roller-coaster!

Does anyone know if there's a centralized notification system implemented that's much more forgiving of taking over the screen (much like Android?) I hate having to hit view or close while i'm in another application and I get say, a Push Update from Words With friends. I wish it was less intrusive and just hovered at the top until I wanted to take care of it.

I did it. I dont see the "tethering" option re-appearing under network settings though. Something I dont know?

I still have the 2G version of the iPhone but running the OS 3.0.<p>Would upgrading to the newest OS through iTunes (removing my current jailbreak), and then running this new jailbreak version be the way to go? Anybody try this on the 2G phone yet?

Many of the Cydia apps are made for iPhone/iPod so it'll crash the iPad. Apart from downloading hacked paid apps (which I'm not fond of), what are the reasons to jailbreak an iPad?

For those of you who jailbreak often: What do you most use the jailbreak for? Any specific apps?<p>I've jailbroken a few times but haven't found much to do once it's jailbroken.

Lost my jailbreak when I messed up an OS update a few weeks back and bricked the phone - I was forced to go to legit 3.1.3. Spirit worked; it's good to be back.

Just a tip for jailbreakers. Quit the program with Cmd+Q and not hit the Quit button on the utility. It seems to start jailbreaking again.

Also 3.2. Should have added that...

It worked! What interesting apps and games can I install on my iPod Touch?

Still no tethering =(. Anyone knows otherwise?
