How To Fix “No Service Issue” With CDMA (Sprint/Verizon) iPhone After Jailbreak

As I previously reported, it seems like many Sprint iPhone i4s user were experiencing a “No Service Issue” after they jailbroke their iphones. Well it turns out that the issue might be caused by the 3G toggle found in SBSettings.


BigBoss has just reported that users having no service after using sbsettings on your 5.x CDMA device, it is not caused by sbsettings but instead by the 3g toggle.

Here’s how to fix it:

1) Disable the 3g toggle in the more app (don’t use it)
2) go to settings, general, reset, and reset your network settings.
3) Reboot.

BigBoss stated that he’s pushing a new sbsettings with a 3g toggle that should detect and not run on CDMA.

Windows iPhone 4s / iPad 2 Jailbreak Released – How To – Video

The iPhone Dev Team have updated their Command Line Interface tool (CLI) to work with Windows. While CLI might be consider a little more advance then your typical click and jailbreak tool, anyone with previous jailbreak experience will be able to successfully jailbreak.

CLI will eventually be ported over to Redsn0w and make it easier for many to use. But for now if you want a jailbreak for your iPhone 4 or iPad 2 and only have Windows, this is the way to go.

“iPhone Dev have also incorporated the exact same flow into an alternative command-line interface (CLI). This will allow us to help users through individual steps of the jailbreak manually, to both help the user and help improve the overall flow. Although the CLI will also allow the user to perform the entire jailbreak from beginning to end, we anticipate it will be more useful in debugging the occasional errors. The CLI currently has over 20 individual options (in addition to the single “jailbreak” option) that should be useful during debug after the GUI release. – iPhone Dev Team”

Jailbreak Woes – Service Issues After using the Latest A5 Jailbreak?

What a great day for those of us waiting on a jailbreak. We finally got the long awaiting iPhone 4s/iPad 2 jailbreak, Absinthe (Mac only at this times).

Unfortunately like previous new jailbreaks, issues may arise. One in particular caught my attention since it has to do with service, but it seems to be affecting only a certain carrier.

Sprint! Twitter and the Chronic Dev Team’s IRC channel are filled with users of CDMA iPhone 4S’ that are suffering from “No Service” issues. Sprint seems to be affected more than Verizon users but the problem appears to only affect CDMA phones.


@planetbeing was working with users on IRC to try to find a quick fix but it appears that it will take some time and research before a hard fix is found and implemented.

My friend was affected by this issue and it appears that the only fix for now is a restore. The issue is a weird one also. Some users are loosing service immediately after the jailbreak and others (like my friend) have a fully functioning phone for a few hours before the “No Service” issue appears. Regardless once the phone looses it’s connection it doesn’t return till a restore is performed.

My advice to any and all CDMA users is to hold off on jailbreaking their devices until this is resolved which should not take more than a day or two.

Chronic Dev Team Release Absinthe – iPhone 4s / iPad 2 Jailbreak! – Download Link

Users are warned to back up their devices before running the jailbreak.

Recent reports state that the camera roll seems to disappear after the jailbreak is done. A simple reboot seems to fix this issues. Either way, Back up your data first.

Also keep in mind that greenpois0n has to load on your idevice in order for the jailbreak to be triggered. This means heavy traffic my stall the jailbreak process. Be patient and give it a few hours if your having issues.

As always, issues will be worked on as they are confirmed.

A Windows version will soon be packed and release. (I CANT WAIT!!)
