Technically, the other guy was expressing his opinion as well, soooo....
I'm personally glad MacRumors puts jailbreak headlines on the front page (THANK YOU MR!). If you don't keep up with the jailbreak scene, you can easily miss an update, and soon enough Apple will kill the exploit.
It's a shame that so many folks link jailbreaking to pirating. I've got about a dozen tweaks (most free, others paid for, never pirated) running on my devices and they completely enhance their functionality and appearance. BTC Mouse and Keyboard make life with a single device possible!
1. Jailbreaking has been dragged through the US legal system and is completely legal.
2. iPhone developers (like me) have legitimate compelling reasons to jailbreak their phones.
3. On a recent trip to the nearby Apple Store, the subject of jailbreaking came up during a discussion with one of the Geniuses. He told me that the majority of Geniuses at that Apple Store jailbreak their phones.
4. No offense, but just because you don't agree with something that's perfectly legal doesn't mean it shouldn't be on MacRumors.com

A few posts above and on the previous page there are reports that it works for 7.1.2.
Not relevant to the thread, but I'm not digging these new smilies.
Just think of them as the new and improved Jony Ive, iOS 7 smilies.
Technically, NOTHING about iPhones should be on MACrumors but I don't see anyone complaining about that. I have to admit the, "jailbreaking is wrong" crowd cracks me up.
Actually on the contrary, there are laws that allow you to modify and repair your car. They can't invalid your warranty on everything just because you chipped your ECU.
I never said anything about it being legal or not, that doesn't matter to me

the reason I am against Jailbreaking is because I know a lot of people that use it in a bad away. I am perfectly fine with people tweaking their phone for good things like design tweaks.
Worked jailbreaking 7.1.2 on my first-gen Mini.
Now on 7.1.1 it had been rather finicky (it took three tries to succeed), so I did things differently this time. I restored to 7.1.2, but then set it up "as a new ipad" rather than restore from backup. I then jailbroke it (worked first time), installed all my tweaks, then reinstalled the iPad software and settings from my latest pre-7.1.2 backup. It all worked like a charm.
must have been an issue on their server side i guess. worked after 8 tries or so and later on right away on the iPad
I'm going to wait. Sounds like this jailbreak isn't very reliable yet.

Benefit: SSL bug fixed. I've heard that the Cydia fix for it doesn't completely patch it, but I'm not sure. Except there's also the downside of the caps lock key being inverted in 7.1.x so it always looks like it's on.

Actually, they look like Jaguar smilies, all gooey. The old ones were like Snow Leopard smilies, AKA perfect
Also, the
smiley no longer mimics the Unicode character.

If it's any consolation, MacRumors doesn't post articles about updates to Appulous or whatever is the latest piracy app. Cydia not only doesn't include any piracy repositories, but it warns you about adding them. You have to go out of you way into the sketchy parts of the Internet and give shady programs access to your whole iPhone system to pirate iPhone apps; I know because I tried to pirate the old version of AIM (a free app) because one of the updates ruined it.

By that logic, nothing that's not a rumor should be posted on MacRUMORS.
But I see your point.
I had to do this on my iPad gen 4 running 7.0.4 as well.
I factory reset my iPhone 5 just because I carried over too many restores and wanted to start fresh. But my iPad would not jailbreak. Pangu said it was done but the part after it says "done" where the device reboots and drops the payload never occurred the 3x I tried it beforehand. The factory reset did the trick/"set up as new" did the trick.
And now I wait for my purchased Cydia packages to get updated

The test sites du jour for that specific vulnerability that I tried (2) after I installed Ryan Petrich's fix gave my devices a clean bill of health.
I have a Wifi-only Ipad 2 that I want to use for navigation in my car. However, with Apples software the Ipad cannot use the GPS of another phone, not even an Iphone! Jailbreaking the Ipad and installing proper app from Cydia provides a mean to to this.
Bottom line is: Jailbreaking is legal (look it up). Whatever justification you like or don't like is secondary.
Erm...
Yes you are. You just void the warrantee, and only the part that applies to the motor. If the windows were to fail for whatever reason, that wouldn't be affected. Also, many manufacturers approve certain HP-bump chips (DINAN, APR, BMS, Roush, etc). And many physical parts (exhaust) etc are fair play, since most people replace those with OEM parts when they go back to the dealership for warrantee issues.
Don't you know what a forum is for?
To post one's opinions and ideas on the web and to receive replies.
If you wanted to post something without anyone else seeing it, write it down on a piece of paper, then burn it. Or if you're against criticism...that's your problem.
