The tweak you listed will possibly work to spoof the user agent for Exchange. But if your phone is managed by your corporation, there are other means to determine what version of iOS you are running. Even if your phone isn't managed, if a tweak ever drops you to safe mode your phone will attempt to automatically fetch mail as soon as you unlock it, and trigger the same warning with your company that you're still running iOS 9. If anyone is watching, they will notice your device is bouncing between iOS 10 and 9, and this will probably trigger an in-depth review. The bottom line of this is, you think you're smart, but you aren't as smart as you think. And if your system admins are watching for outdated software connecting to their servers, your ability to deceive them will only go as far as the first 1 or 2 instances where your phone does something wacky. Then you're going to be in the limelight baby, and they'll be contacting your supervisor to figure out why you're not complying to company policy.

And since Montana is the only state that isn't at will, and even there, violating company IT policy and creating a security issue would likely be a good for-cause termination, yeah dude should just update the drat phone. Not worth losing a job for some spiffy tweaks or themes.

Don't worry - although I'm confident there's close to 0% chance of being fired for jailbreaking a phone at my company, I fully understand that doing so is still at least a little reckless, and I'll update the phone. No need to further discuss the turpitude of violating corporate IT policies. Folks are gonna look at all the new posts and think there's a new JB.

Apparently whoever develops BarMagnet (torrent remote) doesn't actually want anyone to use their app since there's no repo or ipa to download so you have to build it yourself with a Mac/xCode to get the latest version, which I don't have. Anyone willing to build it and throw the ipa up somewhere, unless you know of an alternative app that works with Deluge?

Is the Tongbu assistant full of malware or anything? Anyone know? I for the most part am very careful with my computer and have good virus protection practices, keep everything updated. But, the other day my Netflix account got stolen (Netflix support was really good about helping me though!). I checked my gmail, facebook, etc accounts for any suspicious logins. None of them had any logins that weren't me besides one from Italy and Vietnam on my Netflix account (from after it got stolen). My Netflix has a unique password, and this is the only actual computer it logs in from (the other devices are smart TVs and a fire stick.) I went through the whole malware removal gamut, rkill, the different malwarebytes products, HitmanPro and of course Windows Defender. None of them found anything except Malwarebytes marked Tongbu assistant as something to remove. It's Chinese software so..... you know. Normally I don't install things like that but I had used Tongbu assistant for a long time, and it's the only simple way to get music into the music app on my jailbroken phone. If it's completely clean software even though it's Chinese though, that means there is still some way my account got compromised. So I really would like to know so I can either know the probably suspect or rule out Tongbu assistant and have to keep searching. For the sake of completeness, what happened was I had to recover my Netflix password on this computer to use the Windows 10 Netflix app (which, this is the first time I downloaded it on this computer. Although I doubt the Netflix app on the Windows Store could get compromised) I then changed it in my browser, Pale Moon, with no extensions or addons besides ublock origin and https everywhere. Then I logged onto the Netflix app and watched some stuff. That was like 10 o'clock pm. The next day at 7am someone was able to change my password, email and phone number. And then log in from those two countries (Italy, Vietnam) and watch some poo poo. This must have something to do with this computer, and Tongbu assistant is the only software on here that I know of from a website I don't know much about (cuz it's mostly Chinese.) But I was pretty sure I got it from the official Tongbu assistant. I'm paranoid now because I don't know if my computer is still compromised or in what way. I am on a completely updated version of Windows 10, but it's a preview build (build 16215) so maybe there is some new hole MS introduced in this build that is only known by people who apparently want Netflix accounts. I know this is mostly PC stuff, but I figured here would be the best place to ask since Tongbu assistant is a utility that is basically just for jailbroken phones if you're on iOS. Thanks.

Basically, yeah you just installed some sketchy EXE that was possibly malware. Out of curiosity, why use tongbu (something I'd never even heard of until now) over Yalu and Cydia Impactor, like every site in the world recommends? Edit: holy poo poo I just noticed you’re running some dubious browser that’s a fork of Mozilla. Between running a browser that’s forked from another browser that lost its way about 10 years ago, and running an insanely dubious jailbreak assistant, your attack vector could be coming from almost anywhere. Why do this to yourself? bobfather fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Jun 19, 2017 |

bobfather posted:Basically, yeah you just installed some sketchy EXE that was possibly malware. Hmm.... Because I haven't heard about Yalu and didn't know that was something Cydia Impactor could do. I think I've been using Tongbu because maybe those things didn't exist long ago, and Tongbu might have been the only way back in the day. And I've just been using it ever since because it seemed to do the job. I mean, I'm not sure, maybe they did exist and I just hadn't heard of them, and someone directed me to Tongbu assistant for some reason. But I'll look into those two, thanks. I actually do need to send some music to my iphone now but completely killed Tongbu from my computer. So I'm sitting here thinking "poo poo, cant use that again, so what do I do now?" edit: I googled Yalu and it seems like it's all jailbreak stuff for iOS 10 right? My phone is is on iOS 9.3.3. So I looked into Cydia Impactor, gonna try it out but the page mentions "I also recommend this reddit thread for general help with the iOS 9.3 jailbreak (including issues with Impactor)." I absolutely hate the way Reddit is formatted and couldn't really find anything about it. What issues does it have with iOS 9? Can I still use it?

I definitely do not want to remove existing every media from my phone. :/ Edit: I got Cydia Impactor and it seems to see my phone, but how do I use it to add any music to the iOS music app?

Alright, fair enough. So without being, apparently, able to use iTunes (at this point), and not being able to use Tongbu assistant, how can I get music from my personal library onto the iOS music app on jailbroken iOS 9.3.3? Are there any options left?

The proper way to add music is through iTunes. iTunes is not going to brick your phone. At worst it may remove stuff that's on it, so hopefully you have a backup of the music and videos it removes. I mean, it's either do that, or reinstall some shady phone manager and risk your passwords being compromised.

I do have everything backed up (although it would take quite a bit to get it all back, and actually some of my photos might not be backed up in a physical place.) I was mostly worried that by "remove existing music, etc etc." iTunes meant "you need to restore you're phone, we'll do this but then you'll lose your jailbreak and be unable to get it back at this point." I guess I'll do this when I have a free evening. Is there a way to back up, uhh, I guess it would be like a profile or something in itunes? So that if I format again and reinstall Windows (which happens relatively often.) I won't have to remove everything again to sync it?

Formatting and reinstalling Windows is not necessary these days, but the iTunes Library folder that is dumped into your User directory can be safely backed up and restored just by moving the directory back and forth in whatever Local or Roaming folder it exists in. You have some interesting computer touching habits. Any particular reason why, or you just like to tinker?

That depends, what do you mean by interesting? I guess I never thought about it. I do like to tinker, but I don't just reformat whenever I feel compelled. I use the insider preview builds of Windows 10 and every so often something will get completely wrecked by an update or me just tinkering with the wrong thing. Or sometimes even something small but important to me will get broken. This specific computer is used for quite a few different, odd things (it's a very powerful computer so it has become a sort of central hub for all the devices on my home network.) so if one minor thing is broken often it can make one of the many tasks this thing does impossible. And then there was this one time I managed to completely wreck the Windows bootloader (I was dual booting, had GRUB installed.) Because the bootloader was wrecked and also because of an unresolved bios bug in this computer, Windows was unable to upgrade to a newer build. I guess it couldn't modify the bootloader to continue setup after rebooting? I tried many things to fix it (and learned a hell of a lot about UEFI and how the Windows bootloader works) but just wasn't able to fix it. In the end I thought, "gently caress it, reformatting". Back my poo poo up, reformatted, upgraded and everything worked.

So I'm on an SE running 9.3.3 jailbroken first with the Pangu and now with the jb website. I've been completely fine with this and have had no desire to update to a newer jailbreak. However, lately I've been getting fairly frequent app crashes system wide and it's generally only fixed by turning off the phone and then rejailbreaking. It almost feels like something at the lower level is corrupted and causing issues. What's the best way to go about performing a complete system wipe while also preserving the jailbreakability or if I'm updating the OS, making sure it can still be jailbroken once updated?

I haven't been keeping up with the bleeding edge commentary on the state of JB in a long while; is there no hope for future JBs on current devices? I've been on a 6S 9.3.3 for close to two years now and after 48 hours with the new 8 I've come to the conclusion I simply cannot use an iPhone without my little granular tweaks. I like having my calendar appointments and alarm countdowns on my lockscreen, the ability to lock any app behind Touch ID, more icons on the screen, hiding unwanted app updates, sped up graphics, auto-closing folders, etc. I really want an updated device but I'm too used to my setup to go back to vanilla iOS.

Also, look to see what Apple has already integrated into the OS. Since iOS 8 a LOT of tweaks have been discontinued because they're now part of iOS in some way or another. My tweak list is smaller now than ever, and I'm really just holding onto iOS 10.2 for the following: Activator (cross your fingers that Apple develops and opens up Workflow a lot) Filza (mostly for SMB access, GoodReader can do that too...) Flex to block ads from lovely apps Sleipnizer to add gestures to Safari (super useful on the giant iPad Pro) I have other stuff installed, but none of it is essential. iOS 9 is insanely old, and there have been a dozen severe security exploits fixed between then and now. Project Zero even published the Broadcom WiFi exploit a couple days ago, so I'm sure it's already weaponized and out in the wild. I'm considering moving from 10.2 -> 11 just for that.

I'm pretty close to leaving Jailbreaking myself and updating my 12.9 and 6+ from 9.3.3 to 11. The only thing I really use is adblocking, but I have Pi-Hole on my network and apparently IOS can do this now and Flex to remove ads from the Uk All4 app. Having Kodi on my ipad permanently and not having to use Cydia Impactor every 7 days is also a plus. But other than that, I'm sort of scratching my head as to why I'm still jailbroken.
