Use Activator or Zephyr to make something else function as volume down?

If it's an iPhone 4/4S, the rear glass can be removed pretty easily if you get a pentalobe screwdriver and remove the two screws on the bottom. Once those are out, the whole thing just slides off with zero force. You should be able to get access to the volume control ribbon from in there and try dabbing some 91% isopropyl alcohol or DeoxIT on the microswitch located on it and see if it comes back. I've brought plenty of devices back from the brink this way. However, if the button is totally dead, a replacement part is only $4 on eBay.

I lost my jailbreak a while ago, so I can't check. But can you use activator to bind something to volume down, maybe tap volume up for volume up, but hold it for volume down?

Sorry, I'm not going to have Apple tell me what to do and what I can't do with a device I fully pay for. That's why I made the move over to Android. My primary device (iPhone 5S) isn't jailbroken, and I don't feel like I'm restricted or prevented from doing anything with it. I can load all my MP3s, ripped movies, games, and I even have an iOS 7-compiled GBA emulator on it. Not to mention it has one of the best selection of apps for doing stuff for work.

theblackw0lf posted:No I mean my phone is jailbroken. I was hoping there was a music player through cydia that lets one access music through the folder paths. You can make links to directories in iFile (or probably anything, it's a totally normal unix thing.) That's what I do. It seems like every music player has it's own little music directory in the apps folder, I think that's how they have to do it. I use a couple different media players for different things, but keep all my music in one folder. I just made a link to my music folder in each of the apps music folders. As far as the app can tell it's just another sub directory. You just go and copy the directory in ifile, find the music apps folder it stores stuff in, go in there and go to paste but make a link instead. I don't think I did a good job explaining that, or if it will even help you but hopefully it made some sense.

There are three ways many people run emulators on their non jailbroken device. 1) For my devices I compiled it from source with the latest Xcode. https://github.com/rileytestut/GBA4iOS 2) If you don't have a developer account, you can use someone else's buildbot to install it: http://emu4ios.weebly.com/ The issue with that is you may need to set your clock to 2012, open the app once, then change your time back to Automatic. 3) Every now and then, an emulator (such as for GBA, SNES, or even MAME) sneaks into the App Store.

I can't seem to find a good way to do a price comparison, so I figure I might as well ask here: Am I likely to get more cash for a 16GB iPhone 4S if I sell it jailbroken on 6.1.2 or if I update it to the latest iOS?

Given that anyone can update it to the latest iOS themselves, I don't see how you'd add value by doing it beforehand. Definitely keep it jailbroken.

The idea that you can only run code Apple authorised and not having full control over a device you paid for is ridiculous. Unlike a game console, a smartphone is not very role specific and having the right to choose what to run on my phone is more appealing to me. A strict walled garden is a bum deal on a smartphone, owner of the device should be able to decide whether to stay in the walled garden or venture outside at their own will.That's why Android is perfect in that manner. Don't want to stay in a walled garden? Allow non Google Play code and root your device. Choice does matter.

I have an iPhone 4s that's still running iOS 5. (because gently caress apple maps and YouTube ads..) I'd like to take the plunge into jailbreaking, but the only update offered through the phone is IOS 7. Is there a way to incrementally update to iOS 6 so I can apply the current jailbreaks? Or has my ship sailed and I'll have to wait for an iOS 7 break? Pakistani Brad Pitt fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Oct 28, 2013 |

SeANMcBAY posted:Awesome. Thanks. I hope Apple doesn't crack down on these methods. Apple does crack down on #2 and #3. With #2, Apple revoked the certificate used by many buildbots, which is why you have to change your clock to 2012 to get the apps to open sometimes. It still works, but it's annoying to dick around with the clock when an app won't open. With #3, Apple pulls the apps as soon as they discover them. However, if you download them once before that, you can usually go back and download it again later, since it is tied to your account. I can go to my "Purchased" tab and still download MAME and iDOS. With #1, Apple will never block that. There's lots of open-source projects for iOS, and any device with a registered ICID can run user-compiled stuff. I've compiled a lot of emulators and tether apps for my device. It's sometimes as easy as downloading a Zip file, extracting it, double-clicking the Project file, then hitting the "run" button in Xcode to compile and install it on your device. It would be nice to have a bit more freedom - that's why I've been jailbreaking my iOS devices for years. However, even without a jailbreak, I'd rather have the locked-down and highly polished and functional iOS than switch to another platform.

The random popup stuff maybe, but I don't know how to figure out ahead of time if various programs/tweaks are going to turn the performance into garbage. I've never run into those problems on a PC, yet the two Android tablets I've used (with 1.5 GHz/1 GB RAM) both have worse performance than my old jailbroken iPad 2 with half those specs. The only solution I've come up with not to be affected by such things is to dump Android devices altogether.

Having an issue with a iPhone 3G. Figure I'd ask here first because people posting here might be more technical then the iPhone thread. Here's the problem: - When I turn on the iPhone, it shows the apple icon for about 15mins, then it goes straight to recover mode - Trying to get into DFU mode doesn't work. (Pressing Home + Power. releasing power, holding home) - When I try to restore using iTunes, it says "preparing the iPhone for updating" then the phone goes to a blank screen, and iTunes errors out. with 1604 The phone is no longer detected in iTunes - 15mins later, iTunes detects it again, I try to restore again, I see the progress bar on the iPhone, then I get error 40 and it errors out. Rest is repeat Any ideas on how I can get this thing wiped? lol internet. fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Nov 2, 2013 |

Error 1604 is USB issues- try a different cord/port or worst case scenario your USB drivers. 40 is antivirus/hosts file. Check your hosts files for any blocked or redirected apple.com domains. If not try disabling your AV until the restore is done.

I don't think that helps him in the slightest right now, and regardless of what he could have done a phone probably should not be a fire hazard from streaming music in 2013. I don't know why you guys are so willing to defend anything here. You know he could have bought a Walkman too, or hummed his favorite songs to himself, that would have saved the most battery and generated very little heat. Although... For the future it is true. I had like 20% battery so I turned airplane mode on on the subway, made it the hour long trip with like only 4% battery drained from listening to music I copied over. That I could easily copy over because I'm Jailbroken, but I'm getting pretty bummed out with my iPad 4 iOS 7 that's not jailbroken. I'm just so drat limited.

Of course I don't think it should get hot enough to damage it. But since spotify has an offline-mode he could just use that if he's unhappy with battery time. I've managed like 1 hour on just 5% battery listening to music that's already saved in spotify.
