I have an iPad 3 with OTA 6.1 jailbroken. If I do a restore in iTunes will it download the full 6.1 install so I can backup my SHSH blobs?

Yes. As long as you shift/option-click restore, and your device gets wiped, and you have to resync all apps/music/etc, you will be able to do the proper SHSH backup.

If after your restore you still have apps/music/etc, try again.

Has anyone tried the pre-6.1 Messages.app-saves-every-picture fix of deleting the contents of /var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments?

I'm wondering if this deletes EVERY image, or just the ones in deleted messages. For obvious reasons I don't necessarily want to delete the images in saved messaging histories.

I did, and yes, it deletes images that are currently in your scrollback. Be sure to delete your backups and create a new one if you do this.

Shift-click would allow me to pick an IPSW, I don't have one downloaded to pick...

I paid $10 for IntelliScreen X and it's apparently not good for iOS6 without paying another $5. Well I don't need it that bad, so screw that. I'm actually not missing much, it was neat to have to begin with but 90% of the functionality is available elsewhere. I haven't even bothered installing NCSettings since I bought Auxo instead.

So Backgrounder just doesn't work, sends the phone to safe mode. Is there anything around that basically does the same thing as Backgrounder?
Well, actually this just popped up like yesterday (InfinityTask) and is cheap-ish for a day or so more. Feels like it's a lot cleaner/smaller than Backgrounder, too. I bought it, haven't really tested it at all yet, but I like the theory behind it (it doesn't run the whole app UI like Backgrounder but rather just extends the timeout to infinity for actual background/multitasking threads, which should be a lot kinder to the battery) (edit: and if I understand the japenglish correctly, lets you add another 10 minutes before the network connection goes away in the background, which should make IRC clients a lot less annoying to keep open while still saving you if you forget them altogether I guess)

Is there a way to stop birthdays from showing up under Calendar in the Notification Center without disabling Facebook integration?

In case anyone is wondering you can do this with LockInfo by going to Settings.app -> LockInfo -> Notifications and Widgets -> Calendar -> Calendars -> deselect Birthdays.

PS - My folder is half a gig in size. I only have a few saved pictures here and there. This bug is no joke, friends.

It is capable of deleting pics even from active conversations. You get a broken image icon.

Use iFile. It's got an image browser. You can look before you delete when/if in doubt.

Is there an ipad eReader, free or otherwise, that lets me edit the text in the book? Or an ipad text editor that can read ePubs?

I like to use my ipad to read public domain classics that are relatively obscure (:smug:), and the text is pretty much all converted from scans of ancient stained pages, meaning they are full of character errors that no one's bothered to correct. I can live with the errors ONLY if I can correct them as I read... seems like it should be a simple thing to do but I have no idea if programs exist for the iPad that would let me.



e: Eh, Plaintext looks okay. I'll just convert the ePubs to .txt on my PC and shove them into Dropbox. Sorry to have wasted this space!

Apple only allows the installation of iOS 6.1. You cannot install 6.0.1 or 6.0.2.

Check your Hosts file. It's always your Hosts file. Remove any "gs.apple.com" lines.

(Wait, are you trying to restore to an earlier version with saved SHSH blobs? In that case you need the TinyUmbrella TSS server running locally. Why aren't you restoring to 6.1 the normal way? The current jailbreak still works.)

I'm assuming you've run TinyUmbrella before? If so, it's probably left a line in your hosts file redirecting authentication requests away from Apple. On Windows I think the hosts is in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts. On a mac the hosts is in /private/etc/hosts. Make a copy of the file to be safe, then open it in a text editor and remove any lines containing gs.apple.com (on a Mac, paste "open -a TextEdit /private/etc/hosts" in the Terminal.)

Reboot maybe, and iTunes should be able to do a normal, no special keys or anything restore.

Seconding FolderEnhancer. I have this and Infinifolders. FE was significantly faster and better on my iPhone 4. So good that I didn't even bother trying Infinifolders when I jailbroke my 5.

A hard (option/shift/ctrl/whatever) restore within iTunes that wipes out all of your apps should get the job done. From there restore your backup and you won't be jailbroken anymore. To remove any jailbreak settings (not really necessary but not a bad practice) just uninstall your jailbreak apps from Cydia first.

Anything that alters folders (FolderEnhancer, Inififolders, whatever) or anything that alters icon placement/arrangement (gridlock, any "5 column" changes, etc) immediately breaks the native iOS & iTunes way of managing and memorizing icon and folder locations.

Keep that in mind. It may seem to "work", but it can leave you with icons all over.

To "uninstall" a jailbreak:

* Backup in iTunes.
* Restore.
* Restore from Backup in iTunes.

The on-device "Erase" function does not work. A recommended tweak to install is ResetAllKiller. It disables the Reset/Erase buttons so people aren't tempted to ever touch them.

(jailbreaking also breaks the Remote Wipe that iCloud/Find my iPhone and Exchange do)

Why are you trying to do something in Winterboard that is an included iOS feature? I think it's a deprecated feature by now.

I finally got all my icons and folders set up, then my phone crashed, it restarted in safe mode and the folders blew up again. I exited safe mode, restarted and my folders were set up how they were before this whole jailbreak mess. Wonderful? Right? Nope, crash again, folders blown up again.

This isn't a very reliable jailbreak, is it? And to top it off, Lockinfo isn't updated for 6. Boy I sure am glad I jailbroke 6 without reading the last few pages :)
