5.0.1 untethered jailbreak issues

scottsan · 12-30-2011, 01:58 PM

I used redsn0w_mac_0.9.10b2 to jailbreak my itunes-restored iPad 1.
All was well, except that iBooks, the appstore, and itunes apps crashed when starting.
I again used itunes to restore the iPad and then used redsn0w_mac_0.9.10b3 to jailbreak. The same issue with iBooks, appstore and itunes apps crashing at startup continued. I tried many of the iBooks fixes circulating on the net, but none worked. Otherwise the iPad functions normally and syncs with my mac's itunes without a problem.

What's up with iBooks, appstore, and itunes apps crashing on the iPad 1?

Anybody know how to remedy this?

iBooks is known to be broken. The other two are working fine here, though.

Yes, iBooks broke, so a restore became necessary to get rid of the jailbreak, for me. I opted to go the whole hog and downgrade to 4.3.3 instead.

Try the instructions here (worked for me at least): http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/how-to/...ix2-via-cydia/

Addendum:

I just discovered that the Youtube app also crashes at startup.
I did , however, manage to get a fix for the iBooks problem, but appstore,
itunes, and youtube, do not work - they crash at startup.
