IPhone :: Restoring 3.1.2 JB 3gs - But Have 3.1.3 SHSH On File With Cydia
Jul 1, 2010
First the boring backstory:
It's been so long since I have played with an iPhone as i have lost some interest in it. But now my father who owned a 3gs, which I had jailbroken when it still had 3.1.2 but the 3.1.3 was the official OS out at the moment, has bought the iphone 4. He is giving his 3gs to my sister now who wants a clean install of it.
My nooby question:
She does not care for the 4.0 iOS, so I will not need to give her that. I also know that the 3.1.2 was an awesome version for the 3gs that it did not need to be a tethered jailbreak. So, how do I go about restoring the 3gs with the 3.1.3 SHSH on file since its the only one I can do? And how is the jailbreak for it when I do restore it to 3.1.3?
I ran in kind of problem...I have iPhone 3gs, that needs blackra1n every time i turn it on. Problem began few days ago, when it got stuck, so i had to reset it, and when i tryed to blackra1n it, it got stuck...I tryed few more times and than it worked.
That happened also next day, and i had to do blackra1n like 20 times.Now i this does not work anymore and it gets stuck everytime.Problem is because i have on cydia only files for 3.1.3 so i cannot restore it to 3.1.2 as i normaly did.I have sbsettings and SSH, but i think i turned it off :/I have 05.11.7 modem firmware and 6.4 bootloader.
When copying wav files to the iPhone4 it always compressed to AAC automatically. After a restore to original settings it now copies the wav files uncompressed. Import is set to AAC but it makes no difference. iTunes 10.5.3.3. Have the same issue with iPod Touch.
having trouble restoring after the update?! I've had enough of this phone today then I update and find I can't restore most my things mainly the system settings! I mean it says backup befor eupdate to save your files,!It also says that I need the new backup and restore from [URL] or whatever, so I downloaded it and it says cannot update!Talk about annoying.what I can do to get my system files?
Since it is important to backup SHSH blobs for future JB, may I know how to verify if the extracted SHSH blobs would work? I used AutoSHSH. I just want to be safe.
Yesterday, I picked up a new iPhone 4. I went to work, downloaded 4.0.1, downgraded the phone successfully, and jailbroke it. I hit the "Make it Easy" button and figured that when I got home I'd capture the SHSH files using Umbrella.By the time I got home, Apple had stopped signing 4.0.1 - I must have squeaked by just in time. Cydia still says, "Pending TSS request", but I think that means that Cydia didn't get it in time.Is there any possible way to get the blobs off of the PC at work? I know that itunes deleted them as soon as it was done with them, but has anyone ever recoverd them before? I hadn't done much with the PC the rest of the day, so there's a pretty good chance that they haven't been overwritten yet.
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?
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 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
I had trouble with my email app on my iPhone 4 after installing a Cydia app. Trouble is I don't know which one. I uninstalled all the Cydia apps that were removable and the problem was still there (Email app would close immediately when tapping the Reply arrow) I restored and re-jailbroke, losing the nice App Store copy of MiTube that I had, but which didn''t get synced to my computer for some reason. Now MiTube is no longer on the App store..and I have yet to hear any explanation. Anyway, after the restore I installed my Cydia apps again, and after one of these installs..Cyntact, Backgrounder, Infinidock, Infinifolders, 3G Unrestrictor..The email malfunction came back. Again I removed all the apps I had installed since the email stopped working properly and the problem did not go away. This time, in addition to email crashing on reply, I could no longer connect to the App Store (I verified that it was the software on my iPhone 4 by accessing the Appstore from my older iPhone, which still worked). I also tried restting my network settings. That didn't help a bit. So once again I restored my phone and rejailbroke and put everything back except the 5 apps mentioned and all is fine. I'd love to know which of them is causing the problem, but I don't want to attempt installing any of them since it could again result in my having to go through the many hours of restoring, and resyncing all my apps and music and reorganizing the icons into folders, etc. Has anyone else encountered any problems after installing any Cydia apps which would not go away even after the offending app(s) were removed?
I recently purchased Auto Silent from the cydia store. It turns out this app is a complete dud on ios4 and the developer is no where to be seen. Is there a way I can get my money back from the Cydia store?
