Cool, I'll give that a try thanks! The annoying thing about googling this is any time you mention the word "jailbreak" there's tons of forum threads from various places where the only input people have is "don't jailbreak". Real helpful!

If I jailbreak my iPad and then want to go back to stock (ie. final iOS 5 version or something), can I backup/restore my non-jailbroken apps? If so, how does that work? Also, does RetinaPad work on iOS 5 beta?

So, um. I loaded up Slice It! today for a quick game and it looks like it's somehow been changed to what looks like Korean? Everything else on the phone is normal, and I'm not even jailbroken. Does anybody happen to know if there's a library file I can pull out of the phone with iPhone Explorer and edit to fix this? I'd rather not delete the app and lose my progress if I can help it

I guess since my phone is jailbroken, I'll ask this here. 3GS on 4.3.3 with AT&T. Don't remember which jailbreak I used though. My iPhone is awful at push. Chat messages from several apps never show up unless I manually refresh the app itself. Text messages are late by 30-40 minutes in and area where I have 3-5 bars of 3G service. Facebook notifications are late by days, even find my iPhone won't actually be able to even make my phone play a noise unless I do something that requires using my apple ID like going into iTunes or the app store. And gps locating it? Doesn't happen unless I use the apple ID. My phone isn't hacktivated or anything, I even tried setting it up as a new phone not long ago, and it still has these issues. I heard that sometimes hacktivating doesn't register your phone in apples push servers correctly, but as far as I know, thats not my problem. So I guess the question is, is this type of stuff normal? Is there a way I can make my phone actually, you know, PUSH data so I can stop missing chats and texts by hours at a time? Or is this all pretty normal for 3GSes/AT&T and I just need to wait for the 4s/5?

For what it's worth my wife's jail broken ATT 3GS has no push problems, nor does my ATT JB'd 4. You say you restored as new (un-JB'd) and still have the problem? I'd say that kind of rules out the JB as the problem.

I restored as new when I did my second jailbreak. I went from 4.2.1 jailbroken and wiped it clean for the 4.3.3 jailbreak. I was just wondering if maybe it was worth restoring and re-jailbreaking to fix it.

Sorry, I can't figure out what you've tried and when. Did you have push problems after restoring as new but before jail breaking again or not?

Sorry for the confusion. I've had push problems since I bought the phone, I just never actually thought it might be a problem until reading about people enjoying speedy push services. I wasn't originally jailbroken, and had the issues, jailbroke, still had issues, jailbroke again for 4.3.3 and a clean slate, now I'm wondering if it's AT&T, my phone, or something I did that has broken push so bad. I never did just go stock for any time between my jailbreaks, so I guess that's worth a try. I have all my SHSHs so I guess I don't have anything to lose.

Not sure if this is JB related but I wanted to ask this here first before I go to the general iPhone forum: Okay, so on Saturday I went into the app store on my iP4 and saw that there was an update for one of my apps. When I went to update the app, naturally my login screen appeared and asked my to enter my password as usual. After a few attempts of entering my correct password, the "too many unsuccessful login attempts" showed up so I went ahead and changed it to a new password. Again, no luck. However, I then looked at my apple ID and it was changed to an ID that wasn't mine. It was actually my neighbor's apple ID, but there is literally no way that he could have gone in to my phone over the past few days and logged me out and login himself in. He isn't JB'ed (I am on 4.3.3) and this was a really weird occurrence. So my question is, does anyone have any experience with this and how the hell could it have even happened in the first place? Also, just noticed on Sunday that my CC was charged $1.00 on Saturday as well, however I haven't purchased any apps/songs in a long time. I emailed customer support for this and am awaiting a response.

Have you synced your phone on his computer or his on your recently. OR has he logged into his iTunes on you computer or vice versa. Me and my wife have a similar problem when we share a computer to sync phones on.

Ridonkulous posted:Have you synced your phone on his computer or his on your recently. Come to think of it, I did plug my device into his laptop but iTunes was not open for it to sync (I did this because I had some videos I recorded of him in this ceremony last week and they were too large to email/MMS). Would that even be possible if iTunes was not even running? Also no he hasn't logged into iTunes on my machine logged into his iTunes, he's never even touched my phone or laptop.

I just got a used 3rd generation 32GB ipod touch. It's up to date with the latest firmware version, which as far as I've surmised means I can't use the latest jailbreak methods. There's supposedly a hack called "redsnow" that can do it, but ever link to that I've found is 404. Is there anything I can do with this thing? iTunes is terrible and slow and I'd like to be able to add music and crap like it's a mass storage device.

How does one change or make custom icons for apps? I downloaded this Game Boy skin to go with the Game Boy sticker DBM sells. Most of the icons work for the standard stuff but the obvious ones like Facebook and Cydia aren't working. In the preview shots they are there and in the folder itself it shows the Facebook and Cycdia folders. Any help?

Ah, christ. I installed "afc2add" off Cydia, as it's needed by iPhoneBrowser, and it restarted my ipod. Now it only boots into the apple logo. This is what happened before, the last time I had to reboot it since installing the tethered jailbreak, except this time I can't seem to reset it. Whenever I follow the instructions to get it into DFU mode, it just goes to Recovery Mode instead. I googled around and found "iRecovery", but it can't see my ipod. iTunes can however, and demands I restore it. :/ edit: Ah, goddamn, what a relief. Found a program to force the ipod out of favoring recovery mode, and then redsn0w could get into it again. For anyone else with those symptoms: http://code.google.com/p/iphonetunnel-usbmuxconnectbyport/ Plug the ipod in, activate recovery mode, then start a command prompt (type cmd in the start menu search). Browse through with the command prompt to the unzipped iphonetunnel app, and then type "itunnel_mux --autoboot" It'll say "waiting for a device in recovery" and the ipod will reboot into the apple logo, with no other sign anything happened. Go back into redsn0w and follow its directions for DFU and that'll work now (or at least it did for me). Jetsetlemming fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Sep 15, 2011 |

From what I can tell this doesn't really confirm anything exists that works, just that there are still people (now that Comex is working for Apple) who are still trying to jailbreak iPhones. Unfortunately, with how many things iOS 5 has 'borrowed' from jailbreak applications, I feel like there'll be significantly less demand for a jailbreak outside of SBSettings, Retinapad, and themes--which is guess is both a good and bad thing.

This is going to be a bit of a strange question, but first a little backstory. I got my iPhone in the US via AT&T. I recently came back to my home country but without the SIM card. The phone was jailbroken and had a few songs on it and some of my programs. I was using more as a slightly chunkier iPod. I'm sending the phone back to one of the UK's phone recycling centres, however I thought I'd wipe the phone before giving it in. I went about it a stupid way and decided to update the phone to the newest firmware so that I could then wipe the data and post it off. However, turning on the phone shows the emergency dialpad and tells me to insert a valid SIM, which I no longer have. My question is this: Is there any other way I can wipe the phone without inserting a sim or did I just boneheadedly lock myself out of my phone?

coldplay chiptunes posted:It doesn't need to be jailbroken to do those things. From a full restore an iPhone won't let you use it until you've activated it by connecting it to iTunes. For this you'd need an AT&T SIM card, doesn't matter if it's active or not, it just needs to be legit AT&T. If he only has an iPhone 4 now then I could understand that he doesn't have access to a regular non-mini AT&T SIM card anymore and thus needs to jailbreak to get past activation.

It's no help if you just clicked 'Update' rather than 'Restore', but presuming its a 3GS or 4, a restore should have dropped the encryption key and 'wiped' the device anyway. Unless you're  about someone reading the NAND and bruteforcing your key, you should be okay.

In a bit of an odd situation; I have an original iPhone that I want to use in my son's room as a ipod sitting in a speaker dock. Problem is I do not have a SIM card to use to activate it in iTunes, as I've upgraded to a 3GS and then a 4 and no longer have a SIM that will work. It is currently running 3.1.3 I believe, but none of the jailbreak tools (redsn0w, spirit) seem to work. I just want to be able to jailbreak it to load it up with MP3 to play for him while putting him to sleep. Any help would be great.
