Well then this'll blow your mind: if you have used Tiny Umbrella once, you don't need to hook up your device to backup you SHSC, just select it from the list.

That does blow my mind, but I do understand why. TinyUmbrella gathers the key identifiers from my phone and stores them for the next time I make a request. I like it.

edit: In fact, I just found where it keeps the data. %SYSTEMROOT%\Users\%USERNAME%\.shsh\.known_devices

I'm selling my iPhone 4 when I get back to the states. It's JailBroken on 4.3.3 with a baseband I want to keep preserved.

I basically just need to restore it without updating *anything*. I can do that, right? And are there comprehensive instructions somewhere on how? :)

I'm 99% sure Tiny Umbrella will preserve your baseband for you on iPhone 4.

Run TU, install fresh 4.3.3, jailbreak with favorite tool.

Are most jailbreakers going the iCloud route for backups or is it best to still use the computer backup?

I'm trying to jailbreak an iPhone 4S using redsn0w 0.9.9b4 for Windows, and after I put it into DFU mode, it just pops up with "unexpected error". I'm not really sure how to get around this, and Googling doesn't have any answers.

I can't wait for a Siri-enabled SBSettings so you adjust the phone's settings using your voice. :swoon:

"Siri, adjust brightness to 50%"
"Siri? kill all apps"

I mean, Siri already offers to help you get rid of a body.

BBSettings is implemented much better with the Notification Center than SBS.

Make sure you don't have any apple.com entries in your host file first. But it could also be the servers.

They hired Peter Hajas to work on notifications, though I think before him they also hired the people who did webOS's notifications. Comex is/was an iOS kernel hacker, he's the guy who did jailbreakme.com. I'm assuming they hired him to have him patch up iOS security.

So like... Run TU, choose Restore, point it to a downloaded 4.3.3 IPSW, rejailbreak (or let the new buyer) yeah? And this preserves baseband?

Install.

Go to settings>notifications and add it to the visible ones, arranged as you like.

To add favorite apps, tap the wrench/"settings" icon and then the star in that section. (tap the bars to change service provider name).

So far I don't see a way to add toggles (miss the quick notepad and autolock toggle), and I kept SBS to hide icons, just removed it from the notifications and swipe in. Spotlight still finds hidden apps FYI.

It sits in the notification drop down. Anywhere that works, BBSettings works.

I would imagine that they're holding off a potential iOS 5 jailbreak until everyone gets the iTunes Match update at the end of the month, right? I absolutely cannot stand the standard lockscreen. Why would Apple not want the notification center to show instead of this useless screen!

This really did sort of blow my mind. I can't understand at all what the deal is with the lock screen. I love notification center (it has some quirks but I can live with it) but the lock screen is still pointless.

Is this because you don't have your SHSH backed up? I was in the same boat yesterday until I used iFaith to backup my SHSH for my current firmware (4.3.3). I haven't had to use it yet, but it seemed to do its job of backing it up.

That's twice on this page that someone has said the iPad 2 can't be jailbroken, which is wrong. 4.3.3 allowed an untethered jailbreak for the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4 through a PDF exploit. My iPad 2 is currently jailbroken.

Or am I misunderstanding something?

4.3.3 can be jailbroken on the iPad 2, but anything higher than that can't, whereas anything higher that's using the A4 chip can but is tethered. They haven't discovered a bootloader exploit for A5 processors yet, which is basically what everyone means when they say it can't be jailbroken.

For all intents and purposes, anyone buying an iPad 2 today can't jailbreak it.
