Zodium posted:I'm loving my new iPad, but I'm going crazy without Swype. I know there's an app called iSwipe on Cydia for jailbroken devices, but I can't find any recent reviews of it, and some of the old ones state that it only works for Apple apps like Notes that I never use. This is really the only reason I'd want to JB my iPad, does anyone have any experience with it? Would SwipeSelection more or less be the same thing as Swype? I have that on both my iPad and iPhone. It works with anything the keyboard pops up for.

If I have a jailbroken 4S on 5.1.1, do I need to unjailbreak it before unlocking? For that matter, will I have to re-jailbreak it after unlocking?Christoff posted:I just submit my request. So we'll see. I submitted a request a couple of days ago and just got a denial email today. I upgraded to a 4S earlier this year, so I guess they're sticking by their policy of not unlocking folks under contract still. I guess I'm going the eBay unlock route.

It's not illegal to unlock your cellphone in the US. The unlocking services I skimmed only mentioned blacklisted phones to say those aren't always unlockable. My phone isn't blacklisted: I just want to be able to slap a different SIM in and have use of it when going abroad.

How does unlocking a Sprint iPhone 4S work? Is it the same process as the AT&T unlock? I ask because I came across a couple of pages that mentioned inserting a new SIM in as part of the process, which implies the person already has a foreign provider's SIM with which to do so. I remember not needing to do anything with the SIM for my AT&T phone, though.

Right now I'm jailbroken on 5.1.1, but from what I've read when it gets finalized I'll have to do a restore to finalize the unlock. Is there anything I'll be able to do to make sure I don't lose my jailbreak? I think I have the blobs saved somewhere, if that matters.

I'm okay to make the move from jailbroken 5.1 to jailbroken 6.1 without any risk of losing the factory unlock, right? This is an iPhone 4S. Edit: Never mind, got my answer when iTunes told me "Congratulations, you're unlocked" during my restore. ibntumart fucked around with this message at 13:27 on Feb 6, 2013 |

I made the switch to iOS 7 and jailbroke my 4S tonight. And now I can't get the native Mail app to work. When I tap it, I get a white screen and then am kicked back to the home screen. I used PKGBackup to restore the few JB'ed apps that are iOS 7 compatible. Other than that, I didn't do anything weird. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas on how I might be able to fix this short of restoring my phone and re-jailbreaking it? I'm also not seeing any BiteSMS integration, for what that's worth.

gramlock posted:I don't know about that but it has been the most hassle free jailbreak I've ever done and I'm loving ios7 with some added compatible tweaks. Wish I could say the same, but after redoing the full restore and JB process, it's working fine. For some reason, a lot of my App Store apps weren't installed right and had to be reinstalled. I don't know... I miss a lot of my tweaks. Working SwipeSelection, Intelliscreen, Celeste, Activator, and BiteSMS made my iPhone so much better. But I do like stuff like the more Android style of closing programs. gramlock posted:Anyone know why bitesms keeps instantly crashing whenever I try to open it?

How likely is AT&T to notice someone using TetherMe or something similar? I don't want to lose my grandfathered unlimited data plan.  Also, does Zeppelin have an option to change the carrier text to your network's name? The app I used to rely on isn't working on iOS 7.

Probably never. This would just be if I'm stuck at an in-law's without internet for a night or two, or the rare time I get an internet outage. Even then, I'd mostly use it to read the forums and catch up on news and other non-bandwidth hogging stuff. So I guess I'll at least download TetherMe if an iOS 7 version is out.

This is what I did: 1. Downloaded the evasion JB file. 2. Made sure I had the most current version of iTunes on my Mac (would have done the same if I used my PC for the jailbreak). 3. After connecting my device, I downloaded but did not install the iOS 7.0.4 update. 4. Did a full back-up of my device (stored on computer, not iCloud). 5. Used iTunes to do a full restore so iOS7 would be installed on a blank phone. 6. At the prompt, I chose to restore from the backup I just made. 7. Went through the device's set-up screens. 8. Disconnected the device. 9. Ran the evasion JB file and reconnected my device when prompted. 10. Sat back and read for a bit while the jailbreak magic happened, following the directions as they appeared. 11. Went through the device's set-up screens again. 12. Gnashed my teeth when I realized how few of my iOS 6 jailbreak apps have been updated. This was for my iPhone 4S, by the way. Haven't done my third gen iPad yet. Edit: Oh, also I used PKGBackup to backup everything, JB and otherwise, to a cloud account. I forgot about using Appinfo to email my list of apps and completely spaced on the fact I have iFunbox and could have just saved everything locally.

I think I know the answer to this question, but just in case: is there any way to update my iPad to iOS 7 without updating my PC to the most current iteration of iTunes? I really hate how the current iTunes on my MacBook handles podcasts and layouts in general, so would prefer to stick with iTunes 10 on my PC. But I don't have enough room to backup my iPad on my laptop, so can't just use that to upgrade.

Switched.on posted:Can't you make a backup of your iPad on your PC, then sync your ipad over on your laptop, then upgrade/jailbreak it and restore from the image over the network maybe? Or try a thumb drive or something, it's really trivial to move a backup once it's been made so you don't NEED to store them on the laptop once you've made them. I did make a backup on the PC, but I didn't know if doing the full erase and upgrade on new iTunes/my MacBook would cause any difficulty if I then try to restore on my PC with the old iTunes.

Unicorn Vomit posted:Sorry if this was mentioned in the thread already, but are there any reliable 3rd party unlocks or are they all scams? I found my unlock via an eBay seller. It worked: my iPhone is now for all intents and purposes factory unlocked. (One more reason I'm hesitant to get a new phone, though I guess I can keep it to just use for international travel.) Of course, I did this in 2012 before it became illegal in the United States. I don't know if it's more expensive now or whether you'd actually get in trouble if you did it now.

So I tried to uninstall HiddenSettings7 since I just can't get it to work on my iPhone 4S. And now my phone is on an endless boot loop. How do I get it to stop? Am I going to have to restore and rejailbreak? Edit: Okay, the simultaneous sleep and home button press finally worked. But now I'm stuck in safe mode. I think: I don't have the usual Safe Mode notification at the top, but apart from Cydia, all my jailbroken apps are gone. Or did I somehow unjailbreak? Any idea what I should do next? Edit PArt 2: And now it's just stuck in an endless boot loop no matter what I do. The sleep/home button combo just turn it off. The volume up button during boot doesn't do anything either. ibntumart fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Jan 14, 2014 |

Sunblood posted:Restore with iTunes and re-jailbreak. Something you installed is incompatible with your phone. Huh, this is weird. I connected it to my Mac, fired up iTunes, and after the iPhone rebooted, it automatically synced and then booted normally. I was able to get into Cydia and uninstall the offending app, then reboot again and it's working fine again without restoring or rejailbreaking. I really do not understand iDevices as well as I would like. Guess I'll just be glad it's working now and make a more current backup.

Due to my refusing to update iTunes on my desktop with tons of storage (I like my podcasts to be organized exactly as I have them, what can I say?) and my laptops having weeny amounts of storage, I wound up not being able to restore my iPad from the backup I barely fit on my aging PC laptop's drive. I didn't know it would consume what was left in the restoration process. I wound up restoring via iCloud. My iPad is currently downloading all of its former (non-JB) apps. My question is whether restoring this way will make any difference when I jailbreak it(other than taking much longer than restoring from iTunes would have been). I'm planning to use my MacBook Air to do the actual JB if that matters.

I tried using an external hard drive. I couldn't get iTunes to restore from it and I didn't have enough I could transfer from the laptop to free up enough space. If there is a trick to making iTunes restore from an external HDD, that would be fantastic, but I didn't have luck finding one.

Grrr... managed to transfer the backup to a hard drive and onto my desktop PC (loads more space, no worry about running out during the restore). And now that I've re-wiped and restored the iPad, iTunes won't get past the Welcome To Your New iPad screen. I can only set up a new iPad or re-restore it from the backup I just finished restoring from. The iPad itself works, but none of my apps are on it except the stock ones. This is so drat frustrating. Was there something else I was supposed to copy from the laptop other than the MobileSync folder?

I don't know about the 4, but on my 4S at least, iOS 7 runs fine. I'm sure it would be even better on a newer gen iPhone, but honestly, I just don't see the need right now. On another note, has anyone noticed their iPad battery draining more quickly under iOS 7? My 3rd gen seems to eat up more power than it did before the upgrade. Not catastrophically moreso, but still noticeably.

Victorian Gentleman posted:I skimmed the last few pages and didn't see this asked. I believe only the iPhone 4 can be downgraded, and even then, it's tricky. Newer iPhones and all iPads are out of luck. That said, let me echo Klungar: why not upgrade to 7.0.4 and jailbreak? I had a third gen iPad on iOS 6, too, and while I had some trouble jailbreaking it (purely my own stupidity, recorded earlier in this thread), I don't really miss the iOS 6 environment anymore.

Probably wouldn't hurt to try his advice on creating a new hosts file as well.

I used PKGBackup and had some success with it restoring my iPhone apps. This was before most of the apps were updated to iOS 7 compatibility, though, so I'm not surprised a lot of them didn't cross over. It plain didn't work at all when I tried to restore apps on my iPad later, though, and most of my apps were updated already. I wound up using my Appinfo data to manually restore most of my repos and Cydia apps. So my takeaway is that it doesn't hurt to use PKGBackup, but I definitely wouldn't rely on it alone.
