After weeks of testing and preparation, the new iOS 4 jailbreak is finally released. Comex came through with another great, cross device, cross platform, new jailbreak. www.jailbreakme.com. Yes, that’s right, jailbreakme.com is back! Just visit the site on your device, and you’re jailbroken! No need to download a new software tool. No need to use your computer, at all. So easy. This was around back in the early days of jailbreaking, on iPhone OS 1.x.x. Looks like everything has come full circle.
This will jailbreak all iPhones and iPod Touches, old and new bootrom, untethered, on iOS 3.1.2, iOS 3.1.3, iOS 4.0, and iOS 4.0.1, and the iPad on iOS 3.2 and iOS 3.2.1. Below is a more detailed list:

How To Jailbreak iOS 3.1.2 – iOS 4.0.1 With JailbreakMe
Make sure you sync with iTunes first, and back up all your data. On your iDevice, open Safari, and go to www.jailbreakme.com. Make sure you are on a good secure WiFi connection.
Move the slider to the right. It’ll say “Downloading…this may take a while” The speed depends on your internet connection and the server. Once downloaded, it will start to jailbreak right away. Just wait. Once finished, you’ll get a message saying Cydia has been added to your homescreen. No reboot or respring required, but is recommended.
If it’s going slow, it’s just because the server is probably slammed. As soon as the was released, it crashed right away. If you get stuck at the purple screen, reboot and try again. You might get this message, after a failed attempt. Just keep trying.
That is it. Welcome to your jailbroken device! As always, you do this at your own risk. Comex and the iPhone Dev-Team have been able to do a fair bit of testing, but they obviously cannot test every single scenario. Make sure you back up all your data before attempting this.
Some known issues, right off that bat: some people report losing MMS. Others report losing FaceTime on the iPhone 4. There has also been an issue reported of this jailbreak not quite working on iPads with 3.2.1. We’ll keep you updated, with fixes.
Update #1: Cydia has been updated with a fix for the FaceTime/MMS issue.
Matthew Batey says
Is the boot screen changing so it looks like you have dead pixels? Or is it just me?
Edwardo says
Works perfectly on my 4.0 iPhone 4 :) gonna upgrade to 4.0.1 and do it again.
Matt Chinn says
After updating to 4.0, simply run the jailbreak again.
Matt Chinn says
Um, yea I lost MMS. Restoring to go at it again. (4.0)

Alex says
@scott mine is the same way and i cant even restore mine it gives me an error i have no idea what to do :”(
rorypiper says
Those of you stuck at the Apple logo; you'll have to restore. Connect your device. Press and hold the home and power buttons for about 30 seconds, or until it goes into recovery mode. Do a fresh restore. Jailbreak again. Restore from back up.
Ripper92154 says
1, restore
2,Backup
3,Jailbreak
4, restore from back up

Johnny says
For the people stuck on the purple screen its because to many people are on the site
Peterlau29 says

Blahblahman says
Just wondering, if i jailbreak my iPhone on ios4 with jailbreakme.com,
Would it be possible to restore to a custom firmware made by pwnagetool or sn0wbreeze?
Because states it only works on pre-jailbroken devices. Hence, its jailbroken and now shouldn't work?
Wah45h says
hi ppl that face the problem i faced if it says downloading and then on sit tight it crashes the fix is to restore your iphone using itunes (this is for 4.0.1) and then go to jailbreakme.com and it should work . 100% will work.
Grinaxelrose says
work like a charm wooohohohoh.if you didnt get the jb and you keep trying you need to turn off your device n wait for 2 min restart then try again there you go enjoy!!!!
Joonaadaa says

Creese773 says
I did the jailbreakme on my 3GS 4.0.1 now my multitasking is not working
ife says
I have 3gs 4.0.1 and i did jailbreakme and the bosspref doesn't work. can you tell me why?
Chiaph says
i also had mine too. i read from some others comment that it was common issues and awaiting for a fix?
Alyssa Alyssa says
guys, i want to try this out, but i'm kinda afraid…
i have jailbroken my 3G with 4.0 and it works, sometimes slow, but okay and lots of apps, mainly cracked apps crash when start-up…
i hope this jailbreakme solves the crashed apps issue, so i want to try to update to 4.0.1… but well, should I update through iTunes officially? im afraid i'll lose my unlock (ultrasn0w)… any ideas?
rorypiper says
Need to activate with an official SIM.
rorypiper says
No. “Pre-jailbroken” refers to being jailbroken with a bootrom exploit. Jailbreaks like Spirit and Star are a different kind of exploit. Still no new bootrom exploit out there.
rorypiper says
Planetbeing has said the “dead pixels” thing is normal. Not dead pixels. Just a quirk of the new jailbreak. Nothing to worry about.
Robert R Delagarza says
Ok so I was stuck on the apple logo and restored it it on the 11th or whenever was the same date as the 4.0.2 update and I unknowingly updated. now I'm stuck on 4.0.2 with absolutely no jailbreaking option…so sad..please please help me!
Nick Burgess says
your outta of luck if you haven't backed up your SHSHs
Anonymous says
Have done the jialbreaking, and now I installed flash on my iPad, it’s so cool that I can enjoy movies from Hulu and YouTube freewheelingly, though I got an iPad video Converter from ifunia, that only make sense when I travel and don’t have much data.
Thanks for the helpful guide anyway!
