This will show you how to remove the Ikee Rick Roll Virus for iPod Touch and iPhone. It will also fix any other iPod/iPhone wallpaper changing viruses. You can only get this virus if your iPod/iPhone is jailbroken. Made this video because there was no actual video on Youtube that gave you instructions on how to fix this virus.
INSTRUCTIONS:

DONT WORRY IF IT SAYS No such file or directory KEEP TYPING THE COMMANDS.

AND REMEMBER THERE IS A SPACE BETWEEN rm and /

1.Via Cydia download MobileTerminal App (Search MobileTerminal in Cydia)
2.Run MobileTerminal
3.Type 'su'
4.Type in the following commands in order:
rm /bin/poc-bbot
rm /bin/sshpass
rm /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ikey.bbot.plist
rm /var/lock/bbot.lock
rm /var/log/youcanbeclosertogod.jpg
rm /var/mobile/Library/LockBackground.jpg
rm /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.saurik.Cydia.Startup.plist
rm /usr/libexec/cydia/startup
rm /usr/libexec/cydia/startup-helper
rm /usr/libexec/cydia/startup.so
5. Turn off iPhone/iPod completely.
6. You will now be able to change your wallpaper!

  • My iPods Internet/safari/google always closes when I go on it after like a minute or two I don't know if this is due to viruses, my iPod is jailbroken do you know how to fix it or should I jut restore my iPod and hope that that will fix everything if I do restore it will it wipe out everything so if i do have a virus will it erase that aswell? Thanks xx

  • @TutorialMaster46 Best is to restore you iPod on iTunes, that will fix any viruses that are causing your problem.
