JAILBREAKY.COM RYAN’S GUIDE FOR JB ERRORS @thejailbreaky

As with every new jailbreak, there are bound to be a few bugs that need to be worked out. With the release of TaiG’s iOS 8.3 jailbreak, there are a few bugs that have arisen and the community has rallied together to find solutions for them. Here are a few of the most common errors and how to fix them!

Error ‘Apple Driver hasn’t been found’

• This error usually occurs on 64-bit versions of Windows. To fix this, install iTunesDriver64_0205.exe from here and try again!

Error 1101 (Getting Stuck at 20%)

• To fix this error you have to downgrade your version of iTunes to iTunes 12.1.
• DELETE iTunes, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support (All 3)
• For 32-bit Windows, download iTunes 12.1 from here.
• For 64-bit Windows, download iTunes 12.1 from here.

Error 1102

• If you get this error, try to turn on Airplane Mode. If it still persists, try to remove your TouchID and Passcode Lock.

Fix Error 1103

• The jailbreak tool download file may be corrupt, redownload the tool and try again!

Error 1104 (Getting Stuck at 30% or 40%)

• This error is usually caused by bad USB port. Try another port, and if this does not work then try another Windows computer.

Error 1105 (Getting Stuck at 50%)

• If you get this error, your antivirus or firewall may be interfering with the jailbreak process. Simply turn off either of these and re-enable them when the jailbreak is complete. If this does not work, turn off Find My iPhone.

Error ‘Fix Injecting’ (Getting Stuck at 60%)

• To attempt to fix this error, reboot both your iOS device and the Windows computer. Then, run the TaiG 2.0 “.exe” file as an Administrator by right clicking the file and selecting “Run as Administrator”

Error “Storage Almost Full”

• This is a common problem after jailbreaking. Just open Cydia and allow it to set itself up and the problem will go away!

Error ‘Jailbreak failed!’

• Turn off Wi-Fi on the device and try again.

Settings.app keeps crashing

• This usually happens when you have an Apple Watch paired to your iPhone. The fix is to simply unfair your Apple Watch and re-pair it to the device. To do this, go to the Apple Watch application, select “Apple Watch” and then select “Unpair Apple Watch.” Do remember that you will lose all data on the Apple Watch when you do this.

Apps will not Download/Update from the App Store

• To fix this issue, go to the App Store and select Updates > Purchases. From here, you will be asked to enter your iCloud password, even if you were already logged in. Enter your password and then confirm it. Any errors when downloading or updating apps should now be resolved!

Hopefully this small guide will cover all of the current and most commons problems that users are having with the TaiG jailbreak. If you have any problems, please contact us on Twitter (@thejailbreaky), or leave a comment below!

Update: TaiG v2.1.0 has been released which fixes the Cydia Substrate issue as well as the “stuck at 20%” and “stuck at 60%” issue: TaiG releases TaiG v2.1.0 fix for Substrate and the 20% Error.

iOS 9 Preview Out Now – Official Download Method and Visible Changelog

Here is the official method for installing iOS 9 on all your Apple devices.

The requirements are:

iTunes, Paypal (optional) and ebay account or Apple Developer Account 

1. Attain a copy of iOS 9 from this website for your device. Developers use the Apple servers at developer.apple.com. If you are unsure of what your device is head to

Settings / General / About / Model and search the model identifier on your favorite search engine.

Use the direct method if you don’t currently have a torrent client installed… Tixati, uTorrent

2. Open iTunes and click on your Device Summary. Click on the serial number and copy the UDID string letter by letter to your favorite text editing program.

3. Head to eBay and search iOS 9 or go to developer.apple.com if you have a membership. On ebay ask a seller to enroll your device on their Apple Developer Account by sending them your UDID string that you copied from iTunes on your text editor.

4. After your seller confirms your are on the Dev List – Hold Shift and Click on Restore on iTunes using the downloaded .IPSW build of iOS 9 from it’s download folder.

NOTES

Each developer can enroll up to 100 devices and accounts may remain active for a year depending on their membership so you may ask them what their account status is as well. The price that I payed for my registration was $2.29, however are always different and registration wait times are too. Check seller feedback for authenticity. Know that the iOS 9 Preview is beta software and may contain bugs or glitches and is an unfinished build state.

The public beta for iOS 9 starts in the month of July and you may also sign up for it at beta.apple.com

List of noticeable changes and bugs

– Siri has a new light Interface using design elements from the Apple Watch

– The app switcher has moved opened apps to the left and Legacy Spotlight is back with Proactive – Top Pull down Spotlight remains but there are two blur frames causing it to glitch when pulling it down currently and canceling from the left spotlight sometimes doesn’t bring you back to home screen.

– Multitasking currently only supports iOS core system apps from what I have seen and pulling video from a player only works when a notification is shown during playback. It currently only supports one sided multitasking and not two fluid apps at the time but it should be addressed in a future build. You can’t split apps into the center currently.

– Only one new wallpaper was added to the iOS 9 Preview Build.

– New Keyboard has CUT/COPY/PASTE Bar on top that does not go away when not in use.

– Icon placement to the left is not as responsive as previous iOS versions on the home screen.

Spotlight bugs can be eliminated after restarting your device. Side by side multitasking is only available to the iPad Air 2 Model and not the retina mini.

#IO15 Google Photos 16 MP/1080P/Unlimited Storage

At GoogleIO, Google Photos was unveiled. 

The app features uploads of up to 16 Megapixels, making instagrams shy 612×612 minuscule resolution rather “weak.”  Sporting a 6144×4912 Resolution will make everything you ever shoot on a camera a challenge we’ll all accept in the future as devices gain more advanced cameras. Or if you own a fancy one now you can take advantage of the feature as the app features UNLIMITED Web storage instead of using your devices. Another feature is 1080P video uploads but that is common on YouTube – Up to 4K. 

The app can recognize people, has a search function, displays media on a pinch time format, and it is launching later today for PC’s, Web, iOS, and Android.

Enjoy!

WWDC 2015 Dated for June 8-12 – Predictions

The yearly Developers Conference is the Apple event where new announcements of new products and software occur.

As of today, there have been close to no rumors regarding the event minus the release of the iOS 8.4 beta music app which integrates a more Deiter Rams color template and adds more functionality such as a mini player, full-screen album artwork once again (thank you apple), a recently added albums view on top of your artists list, and overall – just makes it feel more like the genuine iOS 6 app with a dropdown list selection list consisting of Artists, Songs, Albums, and Genre’s.

With iOS 8.3 released to the public last week… being the most performance and bug-fixing iOS update ( not just emoji’s) there are little clues as to what design changes could be coming, however here are my predictions for iOS 9 if there is one.

iOS 9 will bring new 3D animations to the entire platform, ranging from icons that change according to a users preference between round circles or round squares and color themes that blend into the surroundings like a chameleon.

Glass elements on top of 2D based on gyroscope positioning.

Force Touch adds a universal UI switch to bring up siri from anywhere by holding your finger on the screen for a while, or a radial UI of Control Center and Settings combined to select your wifi network from your control center… Putting an alarm clock by swiping down on the time, changing music using the mini player.

LIVE DEMO OF THIS IN ACTION

Products

A new Apple TV gets siri to open up channel apps – a kids mode as well, iOS App Store to browse new apps, check the weather, family calendar syncing, and an overall easier way to swipe across apps with a new apple tv remote app with Siri. Game Center on Apple TV adds communication between friends while gaming, adds music integration.

An update to the iPad Mini adds force touch, a new layer of User Interface dimensions as well as a varient of the A8X. The iPad Air gets a 4K display if this year is possible but I think it’ll just be an announcement – The iPad’s haven’t been selling as much I think.

An updated version of the Apple Airport is announced, slimmer design. – Maybe

iOS 8.3 Update – Emoji’s – Tweeter Reacts

Apple’s latest update brings performance and realibility issue fixes amongst a new feature that is the only one they really wanted to mention… New Emoji’s.

Here are some of the best tweets from the web from people like you on the current story.. Which is definitely top news.

   

         

Well… It appears like most of you are happy. Enjoy the update!

Periscope Is The Next Wave

So there’s this app on iPhone (exclusively) that was recently purchased by Twitter, called Periscope and my god, I have been on it for 3 days straight… From the first day… we we’re basically making people show us their fridges. It was called #fridgegate and it was legendary. But it’s not just a mayo eating simulator, you can see everything the world is doing, in short bursts of live video streams or full sessions… That are interactive with comments. On Day 2 I kept up with iJustine’s COD Tournament invite, and on Day 3, I got a lesson from Lewis from UnboxTherapy where he told us that if the company of a product doesn’t promote their product better than the reviewers such as himself, chances are that the review won’t make a dent in the world like his iPhone 6 #bendgate video did.

Now, I am a fan of art, and all things digital. I thought Facebook was cool till I was made to download two separate apps (the Messenger app supposedly now has an app store in it) and when I saw the Terms and Conditions for the Privacy Agreements for both apps months ago, it’s like… Facebook is just an ad machine that just so happens could be what the iOS Contacts app should have been in iOS 7 without tracking your every move on the web to sell you some stuff. Which is why we moved to Instagram even though it’s owned by Facebook, so then we moved to Snapchat and they didn’t sell out. I believe this app, Periscope, is the next generation of pirating movies and films, going to music events, without even going to them, having private Illuminati conferences (there’s a private mode) and in general everything that’s made me stay on this app for 3 days… ignore my PS4 download queue, I hate that word, and ultimately… look at people’s fridges like it’s food porn even though we can’t eat your food, unless you shipped it to us like some guy made a kickstarter to make potatoes and succeeded at it.

Try Periscope on your iPhone today.
