Fortuitous Bumble posted:I have a jailbroken 4.0 phone where I did something complicated that I can't remember to enable tethering; I think it involved a hex editor and ssh and some configuration files. Will whatever configuration stuff I changed probably be erased when I upgrade to 4.3? You should just buy TetherMe for a couple bucks, it does the same thing but it's supported for the latest iOS versions and automated.

I just installed MobileNotifier today to try it out. Now when my phone is locked and I get a txt, it simply says "missed notification" and seems to lock the screen faster than before. I like seeing who txted me and the preview, do I really have to disable MobileNotifier on lockscreen and enable antique lock alerts?

FiTreDawG posted:Hope this isn't ban worthy but I think this is the best thread to TetherMe is a paid cydia app that enables the phone's native tethering. MyWi is a paid cydia app that creates a mobile wifi hotspot using the phone's wifi hardware. From what I understand, all of the AT&T customers that received notices were using MyWi. I don't know anything about your old proxy app that managed to get on the official app store. I'd be cautious about using anything if you are worried about violating your contract.

TetherMe is $5 and only enables the native tethering, MyWi is $20. edit: also the people receiving letters from AT&T seemed to exclusively be using MyWi, unless I'm mistaken edit 2: VVVVVVVVVVVVV ok mewse fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Jun 1, 2011 |

Richman777 posted:I also made a windows app that will back up your applications like angry birds or whatever. I know when I do a new jailbreak I want to do a clean install without a backup and it's always a PITA to manually find the documents or library folder for each app so I made something to automatically do it. It also overwrites the biteSMS icons with whatever you want (the pink icons suck), transfers SBSettings icons, and backs ups and restores your safari bookmarks. If anyone is interested I'll post the binaries and also put it up on github. Is there a writeup somewhere online thats a total noob guide to the iPhone filesystem layout? I'd like to know which directories DataDeposit sends to DropBox, and I'd also like to know where the text msg database is stored.

That'd be the logic board, wouldn't it? is it an old sim card? you'd have to check a teardown but the same IC is probably responsible for edge and 3G. maybe an antenna became disconnected somehow

I have an old bootroom 3GS and I've got IOS5 running on my phone but in the process of upgrading I wiped out the backup that was taken before I started. iTunes decided that a 2 meg backup of the iOS5 install was good enough to delete the earlier backup from this morning. I am literally going to have to restore to 4.3.3 and a backup from 3 months ago, save all my apps with datadeposit, and *then* go back to iOS5. Don't be me, goons, don't be me.

i posted here over the weekend saying i'd fried my old bootrom 3gs with the ios5 update. i'm back running a 4.3.3 backup from 3 months ago, luckily it has most of the data i was concerned about. so it's looking like if i want to go to ios5 i'm not going to be able to restore the data from my 4.3.3 install, and i'll have to migrate the important stuff manually. i can use datadeposit to back up my apps, but is there a simple way to backup and restore my contacts? i'm set up with my google account but it seems only new contacts get stored there, i don't know how to copy all of them. i don't really mind losing saved txt msgs but phone numbers are really important e: wooo i asked itunes to sync all contacts with my google account and it looks like it uploaded all of them from my phone. badass mewse fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Oct 17, 2011 |

has anyone successfully upgraded their old bootrom 3GS to ios5 and retained all their data from their ios4 backup? is there any trick to it? when i did it i lost everything more recent than a 3 month old backup and i'm hesitant to try it again, esp since i keep hearing other people seeing the same thing.

When pod2g tweeted that he hoped to have a 4S jailbreak out in a week, I thought that they had found an exploit and they were just going to package it up all nice to get it out, but they don't have an exploit yet, just the jailbreak that assembles itself after you're able to execute code on the device (ie. developer account). So who knows how long it's going to take them to find the exploit to actually crack open the 4S for the public. Some day we're gonna have to start loving around with mod chips in these drat phones..

coldplay chiptunes posted:How many absolutely essential jailbreak features are there except for the "don't pay for apps" feature? I'm all for a 4S jailbreak whenever it becomes available for various tweaks to the user experience, but I can't honestly imagine donating to jailbreak development or freaking out and ditching the phone over it. if you don't care, you don't care. i want to jailbreak simply for barrel, which i paid for and love despite the fact it's a minor graphic tweak. i also want to tinker with homebrew without paying the $99 dev fee. i'm also simply philosophically opposed to locking my property away from me. when they lock it down to the point that it needs a hardware hack, i'll probably drop it also.

Funkmaster General posted:Can someone clarify what "out of the sandbox" means? I've never followed this stuff very closely so I don't actually understand what this is trying to say. it just means breaking part of the security of the device. sandboxing in security terms is limiting access to only a few known interfaces that have been hardened so that code that's run in the sandbox can't escape the sandbox. for example, the latest versions of internet explorer are sandboxed so that even if the web browser is compromised by a malicious webpage, the malicious code shouldn't be able to escalate even further and compromise the entire operating system. that tweet means they have a proof of concept for escaping the sandbox but they're still a long, long way from release

Baram posted:What's the word on having to save SHSH blobs on 5.0.1? This will be my first jailbreak and I've heard people saying to do it in here, and I've also seen a couple people mentioning that it doesn't have to be done anymore as of iOS5. Got asked at least once in the past couple pages and nobody seems to have replied to it. I downloaded tinyumbrella yesterday and it didn't seem to be able to save them at all. I'm guessing if it works it's done after the jailbreak? The site doesn't really specify how to use it just mentions different settings and a brief overview of what it does. what do you mean "it didn't seem to be able to save them at all." do you know what SHSH blobs are

Baram posted:Yes. It is basically a key that apple would send to your phone to tell it that it's okay to restore that firmware version. Everything referring to said process mentions that tinyumbrella saves that key, the "SHSH blob". I ran it and told it to "Save ALL SHSHs", and figured it would give some sort of confirmation saying that it proceeded successfully but got no such behavior, and nothing in the log about it actually happening. is your device displayed on the left side like in this screenshot
