Hello thread!

I haven't dabbled in Jailbreaking since IOS 7, but I'm on the verge of finally getting an iPad, and I can't for the life of me find any information on which firmware versions the UK iPad Air 2 actually ships with.

If I grab one today, is it likely to be jailbreak-able out of the box, or should I be sensible and patient, and not impulse-buy an iPad until some progress is made on 8.3? ^^;

If you can check the serial number before you buy it, it's possible to decode the serial number and figure out the manufacturing date. Just cross reference that with the iOS version releases to be sure it came with 8.1.2. I did this last week but I wasn't buying through apple. They might have less old stock around so a reseller might be a better bet.

What would be a good tweak that would let me show a to-do list on the lock screen? I use Things, and I like their widget, but it would be awesome if I could have it just on my lock screen there to remind me every time I check my phone. Is there any widget that would work like that, or something I could fool around with to do that? What is recommended?

Check out "Reminders for Lockscreen" - I use the same author's "Calendar for Lockscreen" and I love it. I'm sure the Reminder one is just as polished.

I want to upgrade from jailbroken 8.1.2 to the latest. I assume it's just a matter of plugging into iTunes and upgrading?

Years ago when I used to jailbreak regularly, even upgrading the latest OS, some "tweaks" would stick around but be partially functional or straight up broken. Should I uninstall any tweaks before trying to upgrade?

To be clear, you want to lose your jailbreak? Just restore in that case.

Run an full backup on your device, then a restore to a fresh 8.3 or whatever is the newest iOS now, then "revert" to the backup you created.

That's a tricky one.

1. Do you have a Time Machine backup? You can find the stored version of Facebook.ipa on your computer and see if you have any previous versions backed up.

2. Piracy. But I doubt pirates bother to crack and upload apps like Facebook?

3. Certain old versions of apps can be downloaded if you have an iDevice running an old IOS version. It would probably have to be pretty old though.

Can only answer as far as Facebook but there's a tweak called Facebook++ that will let you downgrade the Facebook app to back when messenger was built into it. There's a version of it on BigBoss that doesn't automatically downgrade due to repo rules or you can add the dev's repo: beta.unlimapps.com and the version on there will automatically downgrade the FB app.

Edit - works great. Gotta pay $2 to remove ads though. Which is fine but I have to make some fb++ account?

Free apps are cracked and filezed all the time. You can get older versions of facebook, no problem. Theoretically.

there is no mention that the new firmware can't do this. how do they get apps on to an iphone without a jailbreak? some sort of semi jailbreak? would they have had to have burned an unknown exploit since it apparently works on even the new firmware?

Basically enterprise certificates, and it asks you to turn off wifi/data while installing so Apple can't revoke it I think.

The certificate is already revoked. Probably even was from day one. It sounds like iOS only checks Apple's revocation blacklist once (at install time), and if it fails to get an answer because the network is unavailable, it permits the app to be installed.

Just set press/hold volume up to "do nothing" or "play continuous fart noises".


Since bitesms is never coming back, is there a good tweak to restore some of its useful features to messages? Quick reply exists in ios8 (shittily), but id love to have quick compose and or passcode lock back in messages.

Only if modem firmware is the original version, I think 1.59.00 or something like that.

$50 doesn't sound too expensive considering some of the third party ones charge over $100.
