^^ Yeah it means hold shift when you click restore, it opens a window to pick a .ipsw file you've downloaded to restore from instead of getting the firmware from Apple's servers. Should've done that from the start I guess, I just went to this thread's OP first because it usually has clearer instructions than the people who make this stuff tend to give ("do X" where X is their name for some multi-step process they assume you already know how to do, that kind of thing) Suaimhneas fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Dec 3, 2012 |

I have this feeling I might be causing unnecessary confusion by thinking I know what I'm talking about now, while actually still missing something. I think I should let somebody else answer these questions. Edit: well this is weird. I did successfully restore the phone to unjailbroken 4.2.1, but now I can't even do an official update to 6.0.1. It just gives me error 21 if the phone is in normal mode or in recovery mode (and kicks it into recovery mode if it wasn't already), or error 1600 if it's DFU mode. I've made sure the hosts file isn't redirecting it to Cydia, updated itunes to the latest version, tried turning off antivirus and firewall, tried restoring from a downloaded ipsw instead of using the update button, none of it works. I can restore it to 4.2.1 just fine every time, but it just refuses to update. e2:  nevermind, tried it in a different USB port and now it's updating without a hitch. Christ, technology

I just bought a new 4S that came with iOS 5.0. It's never been jailbroken, is it at all possible to update it to 5.1.1 or should I just stick to 5.0? I doubt I'm losing anything major by not updating but just curious. If it helps, I have a JBed 5.1.1 3GS. Edit: Hmm, it looks like I can't restore the new phone from backup because the iOS is too old. Any tips? Bouchacha fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Dec 4, 2012 |

Physical posted:What is the advantage of doing it though? No advantages. Again, I don't recommend erasing all content from the device. - You're going to have to connect your iOS device to your computer anyway if you're wanting to jailbreak! Why not just wipe it with the computer? - Don't get in the habit of using the built-in ease function. It can cause trouble later if you try it while jailbroken. If you've learned/conditioned yourself to use the built-in wipe any time something messes up, what if you "accidentally" do it when jailbroken? These people remembered the "Erase all Content and Settings" function: http://www.jailbreakqa.com/questions/105260/stuck-when-reset-setting http://www.jailbreakqa.com/questions/118864/closed-attempted-to-erase-all-content-and-settings http://www.jailbreakqa.com/questions/101791/erased-433-ipad-2-using-erase-all-content-and-settings http://www.jailbreakqa.com/questions/114333/how-to-recover-iphone3g-out-of-bootloop-after-reset http://www.jailbreakqa.com/questions/97644/erase-content-settings-freeze http://www.jailbreakqa.com/questions/106644/reset-all-settings-problem Yeah, it works when running stock, but why even get into the habit of messing with it in the first place?

What steps would be considered best practice in prepreation for a new jailbreak? Saving the SHSH blobs seemed important but it looks like Apple has changed things and saving them is useless now. The only other step is to back up via iTunes. Is that it?

Oh ok I think I understand what the purpose of poo poo-restore is, it is to ENSURE that you are using iOS 5.1.1 and prevents iTunes from automatically updating you to 6, is that right? So even though I have 5.1.1 on my phone, I should still use the shift-restore option. Xenomorph: you said wipe it via the computer, which procedure does that, is it the shift restore? So here is my current game plan Preperation: 1) Save the blobs (even though they are useless, I still want them saved locally just in case) 2) iTunes Backup Jailbreakiing 1) Shift/Option-Restore to iOS 5.1.1 2) Run Absinthe to jailbreak it. 3) "Restore from Backup" to put your data/apps/settings back on. In my phone's Settings->About->Version I have 5.1.1 (9B206) and am using a 4S so I would use this file "5.1.1 (4S): iPhone4,1_5.1.1_9B206_Restore.ipsw" It's the only one for 4S so that makes the choice easy, but how would I tell if I am CDMA or GSM (I'm on ATT and have a SIM card so it looks like GSM)?

Yeah, the Restore option in iTunes is what I use to wipe. Regarding the 4S and re-installing 5.1.1, I have not done that. I do not know the correct procedure for that. Cellular A5+ devices cannot be downgraded (such as the 4S), but a lateral 5.1.1 -> 5.1.1 install should be possible if you have your 5.1.1 SHSH blobs. Make sure you find 4S-specific 5.1.1 install info, because the instructions for other/older devices may not work.

Just when I think I have things figured out  I thought the SHSH blobs don't work anymore though? http://absinthejailbreak.com/untethered-jailbreak-5-1-1-iphone-4s-4-3gs-absinthe-2-0/ quote:Be aware, as things stand you cannot install 5.1.1 on your iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS IF Apple have closed the signing window on 5.1.1, even if you have saved SHSH Blobs. Make sure you get 5.1.1 installed before the window closes. For more details on SHSH Blobs. So I have to get the jailbreak done before they stop signing 5.1.1, and even saving SHSH blobs doesn't circumvent this? Or maybe I misunderstand how the process works. Since I already have 5.1.1 installed, I can grab the SHSH off of it right? If I was going from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 I would be screwed since the 5.1.1 signing is over with (if I understand this right), thus never getting a 5.1.1 sign. But since I already have 5.1.1. I am good to grab the blob? I'm not sure which one is the right answer. Physical fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Dec 5, 2012 |

From what I've read: Pre A5 devices: anything goes. The limera1n exploit (hardware flaw) ensures you can install anything you want. This is achieved through the "pwnded DFU mode" (which was fixed on all A5+ devices). So yes, older devices can still downgrade from iOS 6.x to iOS 5, iOS 4, or even iOS 3.x (3GS). iPad 2: Can reinstall the same iOS, or any other iOS if you downgrade to iOS 4.x. first (ie: iPad 2 at iOS 6.0.1 can install something like iOS 4.3.3, then upgrade to iOS 5.1.1). Everything else: Only install 5.x if you are currently on iOS 5.x (5.1.1 -> reinstall 5.1.1). All cases assume you have your SHSH blobs saved. The Dev Team points out you can do these with redsn0w: quote:* restore from any 5.x iOS to any other (up, down or the same) 5.x iOS on all devices as long as you have the correct blobs http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ That's the actual Dev Team's words, not some random script kiddie from some lovely "absinthejailbreak.com" site.

Then it sounds like redsn0w is my only option. Which is confusing, because absinthe doesn't really make it clear that 4S 5.1.1 users wouldn't want to use it. e: clarified 5.1.1 to 4S 5.1.1 Physical fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Dec 5, 2012 |

You don't need SHSH blobs to jailbreak, you need them to install older firmware. This is related to jailbreaking because older firmware is jailbreakable and iOS 6 isn't.

Right so it would be prudent for me to save my current blob correct? In case something goes wrong and I have to reinstall the firmware and I want a jailbroken phone, I would want to install 5.1.1 and that requires my old blobs right?

^ Maybe disregard everything I said then? I dunno! Physical posted:Right so it would be prudent for me to save my current blob correct? In case something goes wrong and I have to reinstall the firmware and I want a jailbroken phone, I would want to install 5.1.1 and that requires my old blobs right? You don't seem to understand what SHSH blobs really are. An SHSH blob is a signature sent by Apple whenever you install firmware on your iDevice that is UNIQUE to the combination of your iDevice and the firmware you are installing. Since Apple can and will stop signing blobs for certain firmwares (5.1.1 in your case), there are ways to request and save the signed SHSH blobs, but it's only possible while Apple is still signing blobs for that firmware. This means if you ever want to restore to an older firmware that is no longer having blobs signed and you never saved the signed SHSH blobs, you're poo poo outta luck - you can't. If I'm reading your situation right: you have an unjailbroken 5.1.1 on hand right now, so you can jailbreak, but if you ever want to restore your phone to remove the jailbreak, you won't be able to restore to 5.1.1 since you don't have the signed 5.1.1 SHSH blobs, and will instead be forced to restore to iOS6, which doesn't have a jailbreak out yet, and thus be unable to jailbreak again (for now).

Oh so Brawndo is saying that the only time to get the blob is to basically eavesdrop during the iOS install process. I thought that I could pull the blob off the device, and according to mewse, iFaith might be able to do that. In either case, I CAN jailbreak, but I sure as gently caress better not drop, runover, or get my phone stolen beacuse I won't be able to jailbreak the next one I get until iOS 6 is jailbroken.

Yes, Cydia maintains a server that acts like a proxy and saves the blobs, whereas TinyUmbrella is desktop software that can query Apple's signing servers directly and save the blobs locally.

Physical posted:Oh so Brawndo is saying that the only time to get the blob is to basically eavesdrop during the iOS install process. I don't think that's correct. There's two ways I know of to get an SHSH blob: 1) iFaith could acquire a blob from an install up to iOS 5.0.1. (I've never done this.) 2) Ask Apple for it. You can acquire an SHSH blob when Apple is signing them (and they are signing quite a few right now, depending on your device). That has nothing to do with installing iOS (or jailbreaking), because you can get your SHSH blobs if you've never installed any version of iOS, never jailbroke, etc. TinyUmbrella (Mac / Win) or iSHSHit (iOS) are the easiest ways of doing this. For example, if you give me your ECID right now, I can grab *your* SHSH blob for iOS 6.0.1 - without physically possessing your device or you installing iOS 6.0.1. I would simply send a query to Apple's servers with the ECID, and they would respond with "permission" (your unique SHSH blob) for the current iOS version for your device.

Is there a cydia tweak that adjusts sound profiles based on wifi networks? At home I don't care if it rings loudly or not but when I go to work I work in a studio and it'd be nice for it to change to very low ring and vibrate. But when I go back to the street (NYC) it'd be nice for my default 3G sound profile to be loud and vibrate so I don't miss anything during my travel. As of now it's simple enough to adjust as needed but I like that cydia takes control of things and it'd be nice to not have to touch anything. Thoughts?

Ive got a 3GS thats jailbroken running some old OS (think its 4.2.1 or something), had it for ages. The power/lock button on it started getting temperamental and a few weeks ago the whole thing just turned off, and I couldn't get it back on, and the lock/power button doesn't work at all now. I got a new work phone a day later anyways so it didn't matter, but I'd like to get my pics of it it possible. The lock button doesn't work at all, and when I plug it into my Mac it flashes up the apple logo for a few seconds, then goes black screen then repeats the logo/blackscreen over and over. Is there anyway I can get my stuff of it? Midnight- fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Dec 8, 2012 |

An iPhone 3GS made after week 34 of in 2011 will brick if you try to unlock it via software (the real brick, not the stupid term some people use when they need to reinstall the OS - the radio is unusable).quote:If you have an iPhone3GS and if digits 3-5 of its Serial Number are 134 or later (xx134…), then you should NOT try to install the 06.15 baseband on your 3GS! If the iPhone 3GS was made in 2009/2010, then you can unlock it via software. If you find someone with an iPhone 3GS with the 6.15.00 baseband on it, tell them to get that stupid poo poo off there. It's a hosed/broken baseband (GPS cannot work while it is on there, and should only be used as a temporary step to load the appropriate/correct unlockable baseband), and if they have 6.15.00 on it, then the device can definitely load something else without issue. If it's an AT&T iPhone 3GS, just pay the ~$5 to get it IMEI-unlocked.
