So I went to the Apple store in Ardmore, Pa to pick up a ip4 and while I was waiting I picked up one of the display ip4s. I immediately noticed an app on the phone called Cydia. I had never seen a jail broken iPhone before but I have heard the name Cydia associated with JBing, but I assumed the cydia app on the display phone was something legit. I asked one of the geniuses if the phones were jailbroken because several of the phones had the cydia app on them. He scoffed and said of course they're not jail broken. Then another genius told me that they were indeed jail broken and proceeded to remove them all from the display.
I have an iPhone 4 Jailbroken on 4.0.1 software.I tried to upgrade to the 4.1 GM, and I got this message.Then I tried to update/restore to 4.0.2 and I still got the same message.
I have a 3gs that's been jailbroken with redsn0w, the current software is 3.0.1 and I want to update to 3.1.3. What steps do i take to update my phone? Do I just plug it into itunes and restore then download the new 3.1.3 and new version of redsnow and jail break like i originally did? Also what's the best way to save all my contacts, photos, music before I restore?
I currently have a jailbroken iphone 3GS with OS version 3.1.2 with AT&T. I have been searching the web with no luck on how to go about updating to 3.1.3 and keeping all my apps. I have made a backup of my phone, and was thinking about clicking update in itunes to 3.1.3 and then running spirit then doing a restore of the backup. Is this the right way i should be doing this?
My phone: 3gs, jailbroken on 3.1.2 with bootrom 5.11.07 using pwnagetool 3.1.4. Itunes is at 9.1.Basically I'm stuck in recovery mode and I can't restore my phone. I get error messages in itunes everytime.
It started when I mistakenly updated itunes to 9.1. My phone wasn't being recognized to sync. So I thought why not erase all content on the phone itself? Stupid me didn't research it and didn't know I wasn't supposed to do that.
After the erase, my phone was in a constant cycle of rebooting (with the pineapple logo) and it wasn't being recognized on itunes. So I put it in recovery mode and tried restoring my custom ipsw and it won't. Tried restoring to factory settings in itunes and it won't.
Is the phone bricked? Is there anything I can do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've researched for a couple of days and nothing seems to work.
6 months back I bought one i phone, afterwords, immediately I have jail broken, and upon jail broken if I put sim it could not be actived. Now I want to overcome from the jail break and I want the factory mode and I want to use sim activation. Will my doubts be cleared

First off im really impressed with the things you can now do with jail breaking the iphone..i never did it to my 3g just cause of all the crashes people were having but i finally said wow this is too easy thru jailbreakme.com so i took the plung on my IP4

Whenever I try to activate backgrounder on cydia, it just goes straight to voice control with no backgrounder enabled notification. I have backgrounder to to auto detect (I have an iPhone 4 on 4.0.1). When I do an override and set it to run as if in foreground it doesn't do it. How can I make cydia background so I can close it and open again where I was, with going back to the homescreen and reload data and such?
Can someone tell me exactly how to back up my 3.1.2 software with cydia for a windows computer.I read saurik's site and still have no idea what to do.A quick step by step would be much appreciated
When I first jailbroke my phone, I went and added every source I could find. In doing so, I ended up with a bunch of junk that I needed to get rid of. Let me start by saying I DO NOT use cracked apps. I have never installed any and do not intend to. I added the Inst***ous repo and realized I didn't need it and deleted it. It wouldn't delete so I manually deleted it from the source list (/etc/apt/sources.list.d) using iFile. Now it's gone but I'm still getting these errors like it's still there. How can I completely get it off my phone?
I accidentally deleted cydia. I have an iphone 4 and i have SSH installed as well as ifile and mterminal. Any idea how i can get my precious cydia back.
New app in Cydia allows you to use TomTom for navigation after you search for a location in Google maps. Been looking for something like this forever but was hoping for Navigon integration instead of TomTom. Anyone know if anything for Navigon exists?
Is anyone aware of an app in Cydia that will turn the iPhone into a WiFi hotspot? I'm of course jailbroken and tether via BT and USB but for various reasons interested in seeing if one turn the phone into a hot spot.
I saw an app described that allows you to quickly switch pages on the iPhone, but I can't seem to find what it's called now that I'm wanting to download it. Anyone know what I'm looking for? I know kirikae can do something like that, but I thought there was an app solely dedicated for this purpose.
i updated my factory unlocked iphone 3G to 4.0 and activated it through itunes. I then jailbroke it with redsn0w_win_0.9.5b5-3, but since then i've been having problems. I installed cycorder and mxtube via cydia, but when i open these apps, phone shows a black window and then goes back to the homescreen....can anyone help me out?
when you remove a app from cydia does it fully get removed from your iphone or does it leave anything left behind that could contribute to errors or problems in the future? or just leave evidence of being installed before?
I had used the hack to jail break my iPhone 4. At the time my OS was 4.0. Last night I updated my OS to 4.0.1 and lost cydia. And I have tried to go to the website and reinstall it but it won't work and automatically brings me back to my home screen. Is there any way to get cydia back on my iPhone or have I completely messed it up.
i was wayching something on Internet the other day and i forget exactly what it was but i wanted to add it to my iphone so i followed the instructions by first adding a source. well i guess it winds up the source was not good anymore and i got an error message and it was not added. but now everytime i open cydia i get this message. its not a huge deal because i just just "ok" out of it and cydia works fine. i searched around seeing if i could get rid of it somehow and i cant find anything. does anyone know what i mean or how to get rid of it?
so far i just purchased Infinifolders and it is really awesome. i also purchased MyWi and 3G unrestrictor. those 3 apps were no brainers. also i have no real use for Signal but i may get it just to support Planet Being.what else am i missing out on? what should i get?
is there an app to remove old cydia repositories?the errors are starting to annoy me. even though some of the old repositories have been deleted? do i have to do thhrough SSH? hopefully not
I can't seem to find the ActivateMMS on 2G on cydia. does anyone know what options I have if activateMMS is not available anymore. btw: I'm running 3.0 on my 2G phone
