Fix WiFi, GPS and YouTube Issues with iPhone 3.1.2 Jailbreaked via Blackra1n (or Blacksn0w)

Gadgets, Mobiles | Reshadat | November 6, 2009 at 5:24 pm

Blackra1n along with Blacksn0w can jailbreak and unlock all iPhone and iPod models having firmware 3.1.2 and 05.11.07 baseband. We have already covered a guide to Unlock and Jailbreak iPhone 2G/3G/3GS using Blacksn0w. Many users are complaining about WiFi, GPS or YouTube not working after they jailbreak with Blacksn0w. Especially WiFi is causing a lot of problems for users ho recently jailbreaked their iPhones. Here are two possible solutions for this problem. The second one worked for me and I’m finally able to browse using WiFi after 4 months. Here are the two methods:

Method 1- Reset Network Settings:

This is the most common fix. It may or may not work for some people. To apply this fix, do the following:

On your iPhone, goto Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. You may have to do this for a couple of times.

Method 2- Install Push Fix on your iPhone

This method is a new method. There is an application named “Push Fix” available through Cydia. Note that you’ll  need working internet on your iPhone (data plan). Here are the steps:

  • Start “Cydia” on your iPhone. Touch on “Manage” tab on the bottom and then on “Sources”.

    • Cydia iPhone WiFi fix

  • Touch on “Edit” and then “Add”. Then enter “http://cydia.pushfix.info” and tap “Add Source”.
  • Cydia will automatically update its application database.
  • Now tap “Search” at the bottom of Cydia and search for “Push Fix” .

    • push fix WiFi

  • Install Push Fix. Restart your iPhone.

Now test your WiFi. It should be working now. Else try restarting again. A couple of restart may fix the issue. Also, if the method stops working after some time, then reinstall the application. It’ll start working again.

Do write out in comments if it works for you (and if it doesn’t) or you need any help.

    Finally got it working but the name has changed now to youtube fix #1, #2 etc...
    I got lucky and it worked on #1. If it doesn't for you uninstall #1 and install #2 and so on until it works.

    The first method worked fine. Wifi is fully operational. However, still not able to get onto YouTube. Should I try the second method? Don't want to screw things up, and all things being equal, would rather have a working wifi and NO youtube. So......?

    Thanks

  • brandyn3
    I successfully installed http://cydia.iphoneil.net. However, when I seared for "Push Fix" no results appeared. The closest result was "Push It". Why would I not be able to find "Push Fix"? Is it no longer available? Please advise, thanks!
  • brandyn3
    I installed the source http://cydia.iphoneil.net successfully however when I search for "Push Fix", no luck finding it. Only "Push It" appears. Why would "Push Fix" not appear?

    I'm sorry but this seems to be a pretty poor workaround. This is the second time I've gone through the whole blackrain/cydia unlock/jailbreak process to find that I now have lost wifi functionality again. I had to take the phone back before to do a complete "factory reboot" which of course fixed the problem but rendered my phone locked and in jail once again. I doubt I have the patience to keep going through this until there is a much more stable option available. I really do appreciate all that the hackers/programmers are trying to do but in the end, I want my phone to work with all funtions on at least one carrier.
    Any suggestions before I go back to the shop again would be much appreciated.

    All problem is: I like to install Cydia, but I do not have WiFi connection. The simple reset (reset network settings, soft reset iphone, reset all settings) procedures do not working in my case.
  • Peaaru
    Sorry it may be works but after Blacra1n You do not have Cydia in You phone.
    You need start internet connection to install it.
  • Yeah thats true. You need to have Cydia on your iPhone to install it. But what's the use of jailbreak if you don't install Cydia?
  • hemang
    I am unable to install Cydia from Blackra1n after I upgrade my iphone to 3.1.2. My wi- fi is working perfectly fine.. but I am getting a message time out everytime I try to download cydia... please help
  • Looks like a temporary problem. Try if after some time.
  • Hi, I restored my Iphone 3G using OS 3.0 then jailbroken with Redsnow 0.8. But the WIFI could not work, no matter how I tried. (Reset Network Setting, Install Push Fix etc.). I unlocked it using the offline Ultrasnow 0.8 by Rizwan, which uses a batchfile to do the job.
    Now I get my phone working, GPRS / EDGE working, but just no WIFI.
    Could you pls help ?
    thx
    Alex
  • Use Blackra1n for your unlocking and jailbreak your iPhone. It is a newer tool and will work for new firmware versions. Follow the step by step guide here: http://www.technonix.com/2009/11/unlock-and-jai...
