I'm trying to restore/rejailbreak my iPhone 4 (iOS 5) to get rid of the huge "Other" Mystery space. However, after putting it into DFU mode and trying to do a custom restore of 5.0 NO_BB, it tells me that my device is not eligible.

At this point, I just have to wait because TinyUmbrella doesn't work its magic anymore? Would the only way to do this be to go to 5.0.1?



Tiny umbrella is currently useless for ios5.

I meant one rating each. It's less hassle than a million "Not now" clicks for every game. And maybe they'll stop if they get enough 1-stars.

Every Zynga app I have prompts me to log in to Facebook on almost each usage and it drives me crazy. Rating them 1 and leaving annoying feedback hasn't had any effect yet unfortunately :(

I think you have to restore and re-jailbreak. That's the way I did it. I didn't try, but I've been told using the settings to erase all will erase too much and stick the thing in a boot loop requiring a DFU restore.

So if I've got the 4.3.3 SHSH on my Cydia, then I can just download the 4.3.3 ipsw from somewhere and shift+click or whatever it is to restore from that and it'll work?

Sorry I've never actually had to worry about stuff like SHSH blobs before.

So I figured out what the 'Other' was by using Phone Disk and doing Grand Perspective on it. Turns out I had a shitload of voice memos that iTunes doesn't care much to notify me about (over 4GB of voice memos). I deleted them through iExplorer and setup a smart playlist that only syncs the 20 most recent memos. My 'Other' space looks a hell of a lot more normal now.

Others were having similar issues apparently.

Yes, but you'll also need to get tinyumbrella and run its TSS server. It will spoof and answer the shsh request from itunes instead of apple's servers. Make sure you disable any proxies or firewalls other than windows firewall first.

You might also need to get your shsh form cydia and store them locally. I had mine saved locally by tinyumbrella. I think there's a way to do it where you set your host file to route gs.apple.com to some cydia server, but I haven't tried it that way, and I'm not sure if it still works.

I had this same issue so I downloaded redsn0w (latest version) and ran it and next time I started the phone up it had been wiped and was still jailbroken on 4.3.3. Not really sure how that works but hey might be worth a shot.

I haven't owned an apple product in 6 months, but am now the owner of 2 unjailbreakable 4.3.5 iPad 2's. Any reason to wait before upgrading to iOS 5, since I'm assuming that's going to be the next jailbreak? Also, has the jailbreaking scene slowed down or something? Last time I checked everyone was racing to outdo each other and the jailbreaking scene was a massive drama fest.

I think there might be a way to force them down to 4.3.3. This is only hearsay, mind; I still have a 4.3.1 jailbroken iPad 1, and I'm holding off both the upgrade of that and/or any potential hardware upgrade until 5.0+ is solidly broken.

And last I heard, around late October, was that there was "something" that someone had managed to crack, but it was still a WIP, and some upgrade to 5.0.1 had already fixed it. I wouldn't be surprised if they're waiting on 5.0.2 to start hardcore cracking, though-- between the 5.0 battery issues and the 5.0.1 "fixed battery issues but added other problems" issues, they may just be waiting on something more solid before trying to go to town. I remember the same thing happening during some iteration of iOS 4.

I have an iPhone 4 (original) running 4.0.0 (the launch version) which was jailbroken over the web. It worked fine for over a year and now I want to give it to my dad so I wiped and reset the phone (untethered) but now it just boots up to a black screen after the apple logo. What should I do? I don't want to update it to latest since my dad lives in China and he will need the phone to be at some older version so he can have it unlocked over there.

Is you have 4.x SHSH saved read this page to learn how to restore and re-jailbreak. If not, you're hosed and you'll have to update to 5.x, which is jailbreakable, but I'm not sure if it's unlockable. Check jailbreakmatrix.com

Erasing settings on a jailbroken phone erases too much and you need to do a DFU restore to fix it.

I backed it up using Saurik's server if I recall. How do I use that?

According to jailbreak matrix, it seems like I want to go to 4.3.1? But there is a disclaimer for unlocking I should avoid updating the baseband. Should I just keep the baseband at whatever it is currently forever?

Edit: Ok, I'm following this thing:

http://www.jailbreakmatrix.com/tools/sn0wbreeze-2-6-1

I guess its going to try to retrieve my SHSH from cydia?

Sorry I can't say for sure since I had local SHSH from tinyumbrella saved, but jailbreakmatrix is usually pretty accurate. Good luck!

You need a SHSH for any version that Apple has stopped signing, which at this point means anything that isn't 5.0.1. If you don't have a SHSH for a given version on a specific device then you will not be able to restore to that version.

If you have the SHSH you can restore 4.0.0. Alternatively, you can update to 5.0.1 with the caveats that the only jailbreak for it is tethered and ultrasn0w does not work on it yet. I am also unsure whether you can create a custom firmware that preserves your baseband for 5.0.1 yet.

Install TinyUmbrella, plug your device in, click Get SHSH and see what happens. It'll tell you and download every blob that are backed up plus the 5.0.1 blob, and it'll save them in c:\users\[user]\.shsh

Didn't work. TU detects the phone in DFU mode but since it doesn't boot correctly I don't think it can get the SHSH. I tried the fix boot loop thing and that causes something to run and output to the screen of the phone but it just goes back to failing to boot.

My wife, on 4.whatever has refused to let me update her iPhone because she loves her jailbreak. Semitether working and some of the neat 5.0 features finally convinced her. The problem is that I've gotten a new computer since then and it wants to wipe out her apps and music to sync with the "new" library, which is really just the old library on a new machine. When I brought my phone over I got around this somehow by clicking okay and then panicking and clicking cancel and unplugging my phone and then it just worked somehow. Is there a more elegant solution, or should I just datadeposit her Tiny Wings etc. files?

Restore the phone using 5.0.1. Then run TinyUmbrella to grab any stored SHSHs you have.

Once you have those you can downgrade and jailbreak.

I've discovered that the really big battery drain from ios5 (~40% overnight, sitting idle), can be entirely, 100% eliminated, by airplane mode. It was at 56% when I put it on my desk unplugged at the end of the night, in airplane mode, and 56% when I got up this morning.

My iPad loses almost nothing when it's sleeping. Seriously, like 1% a day or something. That's with wifi on, so turning it off is completely not worth the effort.

poo poo, my iPhone doesn't seem to use any more battery with wifi on 24/7 than off. Even though I only connect to wifi at home. My old Android phone would slurp up battery if I left wifi on.

Should be noted, I guess, that my iPhone loses less than 5% battery overnight with lovely reception, so maybe I have god-batteries.

This is on my ipod touch 3, running 5.0. No clue about other devices. It didn't use to have any battery troubles pre-update, so I'm thinking it's specifically the notifications and poo poo. the patch notes for 5.0.1 claim to fix a "battery usage bug" or something like that, but as we're all still waiting for the untethered breakthrough, I don't want to update...

You can use iExplorer to pull data directly off of your device, which includes (generally) savegames. It's very app-dependent as to what you can actually do with that though.
