Yeah, what happened was A: I found out that my laptop absolutely cannot handle 4k video, so it will be 1080p still (but much higher quality 1080p) B: My video editing software wouldn't let me export 4k for whatever reason. Not sure why.
As always, if you have any questions or issues getting anything to work, leave a comment here and I'll usually get back to you within a day (but usually sooner!). Thank you all for the continued support!
I am a really nervous guy when it comes to jailbreaking. First off I semi bricked a iPod Touch by using a PC tool, and then I found out in the comments of a video that when sometimes when Cydia is opened with the Phoenix jailbreak, it turns the device off and doesnt make it turn back on. So I am thinking Polaris is the safest method for me. I really hope this is true, I'm getting an iPhone 4s soon..
Hello! Helpful video, but the jailbreak seems to be revoked on my iPhone 4s. Cydia + the other apps downloaded won't open P.S. It's only been like a day since inital jailbreak, what should I do?
Sadly I’m in a sticky situation. I have an iPhone 5c running iOS 9.2.1 and I want to jailbreak it to just get some old games. I /could/ update it to iOS 10 to get some easier jailbreak support but I hate iOS 10’s changes. Just a bit unlucky I guess.
You could try this from the browser: jailbreak.me (It’s from the official jailbreak subreddit charts, it’s legit). Or Home Depot: wall.supplies Don’t like this one as much as it’s trying to push a mixtape player on you, but it’s also a legit tool. Haven’t tried either myself as I don’t have any 32 bit devices on that version.
@@3lectr1c Thanks, I'll try these. I just got my first semi-legacy (5c) phone a couple days ago and I'm so glad to be able to experience these old versions again. I hope to slowly grow my collection like you have.
@@3lectr1c The first method worked without any hiccups! Really quick and easy install, and now I’ve already started adding some old games with Karen’s AppSync Unified. Epic stuff.
The quality will be a lot better, but 4k just isn’t going to work, my laptop can’t handle 4k editing. This video was a slideshow in the editing software and it only let me export in 1080p for whatever reason anyway.
Nope. There are supposedly ways to somewhat bypass that but I don’t know a thing about them and a lot of scams are out there so if you look into it just be careful
Wow thank you, finally w working jailbreak for the iPhone 4S is 2024, my first time doing something like this and before this I was trying for over 3 hours, so thanks!
@@3lectr1c So i got it working, had to reset my phone and i got cydia. So just making sure I understood correctly... Every time i reboot the phone I need to re run p0laris jailbreak Every 7 Days or more, I need to go on my computer and use sideloadly to reinstall p0laris and do the jailbreak. is this correct? Also, the sources fail to update for some reason "Someindex files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead." I removed ultrasnow as well
Enero 2024, para llegar al icono de Jailbreak hay que ir a un símbolo con forma de maletín que está arriba en 6to. lugar o a los 3 puntitos abajo a la derecha. Ahí, última fila, 4ta. columna das click a un icono en forma de candado con una flechita para arriba y todo como dice el video. Una vez instalado el Phoenix en mi iPad3 con IOS 9.3.6 lo tuve que hacer correr como 3 ó 4 veces hasta que instaló el Cydia. Vamos todavía!
Thanks! I should have a part 2 out for that at some point very soon, sooner than I expected because my plan has changed. There’s always the chance that I’ll get inspired again to make more iOS related content, so we’ll see.
I found a way using personal hotspot from my main phone, the jailbreak iphone wouldn't load anything connected to my wifi, but connected to personal hotspot with cellular data, it was able to download packages
There is like a 0.001% chance of this happening. It would take a freak occurrence. In nearly all cases, if something does go wrong, it can be fixed with an iTunes restore
Nope, maybe 0.01% change of something going catastrophically wrong enough to brick a device, but 99.9% chance if something does go wrong, an iTunes restore will fix it
so im trying to jailbreak my iphone 4S, but it dosen't work. it gives me an error:"Guru Meditation ... Call to lockdownd_client_new_with_handshake_failed;" and invalid host id something.. it keeps crashing too in 3utools, or if im trying to download it simply from the safari, it cannot download. do you have a solution?(btw, i have jailbroken it before, and i factory reseted it with itunes,beacuse pheonix wasnt opening anymore, and i think thats the problem.)
been struggling with this one on my iPod touch 5 gen, p0laris won't stop crashing every time I try, just like it happened to you in this video the first attempt. also tried with phoenix, blizzard, home depot, all of them crash and don't seem to be able to complete the process no matter how many times I try lol.
How long are you waiting after startup before trying? Try leaving it ON at the Home Screen for 5 whole minutes and then try. If this still doesn’t work, try restoring the device to factory settings in iTunes and then try again.
@@3lectr1c factory resetting seems to have worked and the device is jailbroken BUT cydia just instantly crashes when I try to open it lmao this is frustrating
infelizmente o meu ipad 3 nao aceita a instalação do Polaris e o sideloadly, diz que não é possivel.... Podes ajudar por favor? Gostaria de actualizar o iPad 3 para os meus filhos poderem usar... Muito obrigado
Lol, a dust collector, so funny name for "vintage" devices huh.:D My "dust collector " is actually lying without dust in a box and it's iPad 3rd generation with iOS 7.1.1 + untethered JB there on it, as well as tens of legacy games and apps:)
you said you'd record in 4k30fps but the vid is in 1080p lol
Yeah, what happened was
A: I found out that my laptop absolutely cannot handle 4k video, so it will be 1080p still (but much higher quality 1080p)
B: My video editing software wouldn't let me export 4k for whatever reason. Not sure why.
@@3lectr1c well the iphone 14 pro can surely handle 4k editing so maybe u can try editing on your phone
Nah. I don’t know of any good editing software for it and editing on a touchscreen sounds like a nightmare. I use DaVinci Resolve on my laptop

Thank you for this video! worked for me after a while.
What do you have? I have iPad 3
Thanks a lot. Cydia didnt load at first but it did after i re did the jailbreak. You are goated
how did you re do it? did you put it in dfu and re installed polaris?
Thank you for making this video. I have an original iPad mini. What can I do with it, once it’s jail broken?
All kinds of things. Install tweaks to theme it up a bunch. Sideload IPA files. Dual-boot iOS 6, 7 or 8. Plenty of options!
can i skip the activation step? i lost my apple id long long time ago
Nope. There are supposedly ways to somewhat bypass that but I don’t know a thing about them and a lot of scams are out there so if you look into it just be careful
Works on my iPod touch 5th generation 64GB Blue
goated, it works. thank you tons

does it work with ipad mini 1st?
when i run polaris on the phone, cydia doesnt show up.
i have an iphone 4s on ios 9.3.6
Is there any way to see if tis jailbreaked or not?
It can sometimes fail on the first try. Run the program again, make sure the device has been powered on for a few minutes first as well.
@@3lectr1c So i got it working, had to reset my phone and i got cydia.
So just making sure I understood correctly...
Every time i reboot the phone I need to re run p0laris jailbreak
Every 7 Days or more, I need to go on my computer and use sideloadly to reinstall p0laris and do the jailbreak.
is this correct?
Also, the sources fail to update for some reason
"Someindex files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead." I removed ultrasnow as well
@@YTCorrEEB7A That is correct.

Hello, can you make an tutorial of how to downgrade iPhone 4s to iOS 6 in 2023? The tutorial´s that i saw are not working.
Last time I did it I used iOS-ota-downgrader

I tried with phoenix instead of polaris and it didnt work, this saved me!
may i ask if the itunes installer is the latest version?
You mean iTunes itself? iTunes can be the latest version, as long as it’s not the version from the Microsoft Store
Yeah I also heard when some people did this their ipads turned off and didnt turn back on. I hope this will not happen with me
There is like a 0.001% chance of this happening. It would take a freak occurrence. In nearly all cases, if something does go wrong, it can be fixed with an iTunes restore

Yes, that one is on the list.

You cannot use the windows store version. Scroll down on the linked page, the download is there.
