Jay Freeman has helped ruin the hard work of many small hard working app developers who would be able to make it on just a few sales per app otherwise. He has helped make it easier to steal apps than purchase them. Cydia is only a front end; he gave the metaphorical "app stealing machine" a steering wheel. Like app ads and in app purchases? Thank Jay Freeman. Thumbs up please. He is an attention seeking over rated dork-- only creating an interface for pre-existing technology.
@yummysevin Do you think you could accomplish anything better than he has in your life? No. And having a jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch doesn't automatically mean you steal apps. I have a jailbroken iPhone and I pay for everything on it. So don't go saying that he is a bad person.It's the people over at hackulo.us that distribute free apps. Cydia even tells you that the hackulo.us repository has been known to be illegal if you try to download it.
Can anybody help please? I've gotten to the last step where you paste the IP address into terminal, then I've pressed Ctrl + X, but when I press enter it says " [ Error writing /etc/hosts/: Not a directory ] " Then the restore doesn't work.
Can you help me? My phone was jailbroken with Blackra1n and is on 3.1.2. I'm finding that I can add a lot of the new apps to my phone because they are requiring 4.0 or above. How can I upgrade my iPhone to the latest firmware and maintain or re-jailbreak my phone. I have a 3GS on the on the old bootrom.
i did everything liek you said to do it and i tried to restore it with 3.1 and i got the same message as ive gotten every time which was that it wasnt eligible to use that build! i dunno how many different ways i can try to do the same thing.
@brownsk8er169 Do you know how to get the "save modified buffer (answering No will destroy changes)? I mean i get everything but how do you save it that's my question i'm using a mac.
hey after you saw the sign saying that its not build for this iphone how did you do that sudo thing and where at ? please email me at luveableboi17@aol.com
How do i reverse this process!! IE how do i undo what i did in terminal!! All i get from itunes is an error msg saying that itunes cannot contact the server at this time, please try again later!! Think i screwed it up!! Eeekkkk bricked iphone! HELP!
Ok so how do i reverse this process?? IE undo what i did in terminal??? I try to restore and all i still get an error msg saying that the iphone server cannot be contacted at this time.. I think i screwed it up somehow??? Eeekkk HELP!
mate you are a genius, have you got any idea for jailbreak and unlock iphone 3G S, 3.1.3 firmware, new boot rom?! It's really make me phone less and mad these days!
how do you do this in WINDOWS? I've gone to Sauriks page, read the instructions, edited the windows host file, put my 3gs in DFU, and it says the same thing, that my device isn't eligible for the firmware..BTW I DO HAVE THE CYDIA ECID SHSH FILE BACKED UP
@TheCameronCannon this ip doesn't seem to work anymore, is there another IP? I still keep getting the same error with this IP in my hosts file. Is this IP still working for anyone else?
Enter your password in the next line that shows up in Terminal. You will not see the text as you type. Hit return when you are done typing your password.
@robbinonline The above link is broken. It would be very helpful if you could either give us a link that works or explain it here. I'm sorry if I sound demanding. I really need help.
This guy is the man taught this wouldn't work I tried it once failed did it for a second time and man it totally worked iphone 3gs now back to 3.0 from 3.1 at 1:17am
Im having trouble at the terminal bit, it keeps saying that the password is incorrect. and I get a warning after I type sudo -s that entering incorect information could harm my computer? what am I doing wrong please help
Hey. I`ve done exectly you said. But it didn`t work for me. Can you tell me what version of the iTunes did you use for it, and when you edit the hostfile should I use .172 or .171 at the end of the ip? And if you could give me an advise or anything is what can help me i`d really appreciate it. Cheers
Ok, so i just got my iphone 3gs. I accidentally upgraded to 3.1 because i was unaware... anyways... i just want to jailbreak, i dont care about unlocking. Is this possible with no problems from 3.1, to say... 3.01 or 3.0? Thanks
