Jailbreaking your iPhone after OTA Update - Rexagon - Jan 9, 2014
Ok so many of you may or may not know that IF you have an iPhone that is updated to iOS 7.0.4 (or whatever iOS you have) and it was updated OTA (Over the air, meaning you clicked "Update" on your phone instead of connecting to itunes via your computer) then you will NOT currently be able to jailbreak your device.
The fix for this is simple, if you updated OTA then you just need to go on your computer and download your iPhone's IPSW file for iOS 7.x.x - Afterwards you want to connect your phone via iTunes and SHIFT+Click the restore button (MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR DEVICE FIRST), then locate and execute the IPSW. Wait for it to finish, then afterwards you should be able to jailbreak w/ no issue!
Good luck, ask here for any questions. 🤝

OTA updates does not necessitate a boot loop. It just occasionally happens. In any case, what you're suggesting is in one way or another, a restore. Basically, what everyone suggested.

Pretty much this.
Thanks for suggesting we do something that every guide out there already mentions OP.

Boot loop happened to me so I think it's the majority.

Did I say that the majority does not encounter this issue?
My iPad 2 OTA update 7.0.4 did not encounter a boot loop. My iPhone 4 did.
Occasionally. In the sense that it's been reported.

There's no point making a thread with steps included in other threads.

And who the fuck are you? Lmfao.
Worthless threads like these with no new information deserve every ounce of negativity.
If you don't like it gtfo retard.

I just spent a ENTIRE minute reading this thread...
Just saying "restore" would've sufficed.

Wait.... I updated OTA to 7.0.4 and jailbroke my iPhone 4S without any problems? I still have very little problems with it except compatibility problems and hiccups I have created myself. I jailbroke it around the 20th of december I think it was.

Pretty sure it started around iOS 7.0.3 or so, as I saw that on on Evasi0n blog.
And to all of you saying "fuck off this is useless" can stop post whoring by repeating the same damn thing. Every one of y'all keep repeating "This has been posted numerous times before" just in various ways. It's stupid, gtfo.
