Oh, you literally have no SHSH saved? Never been jail broken at all? I guess you are screwed. Sorry for my misunderstanding.

Edit: I'm going to try using PwnageTool for 4.2.1 before I ask for help again.

Edit2: Yeah, I get the same error for jailbreaking 4.2.1 in PwnageTool.
If your phone is running 4.2.1 right now then iFaith will be able to pull the shsh off your phone even if apple isn't signing it anymore, then you can restore with a custom/jailbroken 4.2.1 firmware

Ok, can use some guidance here. I have my old JB 3Gs running 4.3.3. Got a new iphone4 which is (luckily) also in 4.3.3. I want to get all my settings, contacts, SMS, apps and the like over to my 4. How do I do this without upgrading to new iOS and ruining my ability to JB? I can't just backup my 3Gs and restore my 4 from backup, right?

Plug in iPhone, sync

clarification: yes you can set it up as your old iphone.

I uninstalled a bunch of Cydia crap this morning because my battery is draining like mad, now my GPS isn't working.
I have tried hard booting etc. Can anyone think of anything outside of a restore I might try before going down that path?

Thanks

Quick question. Has anyone used ScummVM on their iPad? How is it, is it worth jailbreaking for? Give me the good and bad about it.

Would be the only reason for me to jailbreak seeing as most companies are slow at releasing adventure games for iOS. :P

Only if you have your shsh blob for 4.3.3 saved. And yes, tethered jailbreaks are horrible, which is why I haven't addressed jailbreaking 4.3.5 in the op.

They don't seem that bad to me, but maybe there's some scenarios involving needing to reboot frequently that I haven't run into or something.

Aaah, well, it appears I have a 4.2.1 shsh in TinyUmbrella since this is the first update I've done in a while since my phone poo poo out on me yesterday. Would I be able to throw the phone in DFU mode and reload to 4.2.1?

Yes. Just make sure either TU is running with the TSS server, or your hosts file is pointing Apple to Cydia

Hey guys,

Two questions: what's a good app to allow a streaming app like Pocket Tunes to run in the back while I use the phone to play a game? For instance, I want to listen to Pocket Tunes or the Sirius app while playing a game that takes over the audio on the device (it happens with games like Flick Fishing). I tried to use Backgrounder but that didn't work (unless I'm doing something wrong).

Also, have anyone tried out the Lion Ultimate theme yet?

Because a GUI designed for a large screen with mouse input would be awkward and annoying to use on a small touch-only device. This is why phones have unique OS's in the first place these days.

I did not intend to imply that this might be a full-time thing, but more like a "Why climb Mt. Everest" sort of thing. It appeals to people suffering from that First-World Problem called boredom.

I have a second phone lying around so I thought it might be worth checking out. Given the likelihood of having an experience like those such keykey, I probably won't bother. But it seems like a neat idea, if not a practical one, and might be worthy of poking around with it for an hour or two. If it even worked, that is.

I thought it would be fun to play with but then it went to the lock screen and.. Well.. That's all she wrote. The phone would just go to the lock screen immediately and not be responsive and I didn't have a backup so I made a 4.2.1 loader off of my 4.2.1 shsh and now I'm back in the game but I'm going back and forth between 4.2.1 and my 4.3.5 backup still pulling over important business info that I forgot to grab since itunes can't pull info backwards.

Ugh. My mother is now convinced that AT&T has locked the phone because it was jalibroken and unlocked. :suicide:

Anyway. She is now in an area that has T-mobile. The phone will not switch back to T-mobile and shows AT&T as the carrier and will not work.

Load up Tiny Umbrella and query Cydia for SHSH. If it downloads 4.3.3, you're good to go.

Thanks. Once that's done, I just run Tiny Umbrella's TSS server and use iTunes to install the firmware I want?

edit: never mind, i have "saved SHSHs" for 4.3.x on tinyumbrella but i guess they have not been signed by apple

My home button has been working like poo poo and I want to go back to stock iOS to make sure it isn't Activator, which I've heard has given people lots of hell when it comes to home button fuckery. Unfortunately when I try to update to the latest version of iOS, I get an error saying that the device isn't upgradable (or something like that).

Do I have to do a full restore?

Edit: I'm running iOS 4.3.3 on an iPhone 4 and the latest version of Lion and iTunes.

If it isn't activator I have to remove the jailbreak before going to Fruit and replacing my iPhone just so they won't say "you are poo poo out of luck because you jail broke your iPhone".

But if it IS Activator, you will know faster, easier, and without having to redo everything, if you just remove Activator and mess around with the phone for a while.

So remove activator to make sure it's a hardware problem. If it is, then just backup everything and restore as new, since you'll be getting a new phone anyway.

Yeah thats what I figured. Nonetheless, how can I get over this problem of not being able to upgrade to 4.3.5 in case I want to for any reason?

It might be due to having your host file set to bypass apple servers.

If you're on windows go to:

C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ and open hosts then remove anything that has apple in it.

That should allow you to upgrade.

Or just try using tiny umbrella and keep it on 4.3.3 so you can rejailbreak if you find out it's activator instead of going to 4.3.5

I don't know for sure, but I'd try a different data cable and, if possible, a different computer (or reinstall itunes.) Then try a DFU restore (I think instructions are in the OP, or you can google it.) Someone else may have more specific advice.

Thanks, that helps a lot.

It seems like it WAS activator. Since I SBSettings and most of BiteSMS's functionality depends on Activator and what I used my jailbreak for the most, I think I'm going to restore back to stock iOS after all. At least iOS 5's notifications really seem to be better than 4.x's.
