    thanks if you can help
    2 tips for adverts

    1. Look for a seller with a bit of decent feedback for peace of mind
    ( too many arseholes there selling blocked handsets / or replicas )
    2. Buy officially unlocked unit ( plenty around )

    What version of IOS is it running currently?

    I don't think you can downgrade.

    Is there much point jailbreaking right now as i dont think Cydia knew it was coming so soon and nothing is up to date?

    Also does anyone know any more about them adding back door access for piracy to it? Just saw some stuff on twitter and another ios forum i use and people dont seem happy!

    yeah nothing upto date really...I'm using it strictly for pdanet (tethering app_) that actually works unlike the default hotspot that I've to leave up on the hotspot page to maintain a connection. Eats through my battery as display is on as well. (when display goes off I lose connection).
    Had it on previous IOS versions, my last two iphones (4/4S) as well...

    Apple tv 2 running 5.0.2.

    Bought this off my friend and its never been jailbroken. Im terrified ill do something wrong and update the software or firmware and end up with having to do a tethered jailbreak!
    • So far Ive figured out that I can do an untethered jailbreak.
    • BUT this apple tv has never been synced to my itunes.
    • Do I need to save SSHS blobs or something before jailbreaking.

    Tempted to go with this tutorial here from seasonpass:

    http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=23808

    Any input is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    go into snapchat, go the the left most screen ( The screen with the list of recent snaps) tap the gear on the top right and then you should see additional services if you scroll down

    And how do I do that with a device not jail broken before? Tiny umbrella?
    Downloaded that but do I need to change the settings around or are they is the program good to go?

    Do I need to connect it to iTunes or anything?

    Here's a list of Cydia tweaks that are working and not working for iOS 7:

    http://www.team-sync.info/ios7.html

    Best not to install the ones that aren't working in case you brick your device.

    Anyone else who has installed the jailbreak having trouble finding downloaded apps from Cydia? I can't find the majority of tweeks I've installed such as zeppelin and swipeselection. They're showing up in the installed packages menu on Cydia but they're not in the phone settings menu? Any ideas?

    You should really wait before installing tweaks as they need to be updated for ios 7 to run properly.

    If you reinstall mobile substrate again they will appear in the settings method but apps will keep crashing, for me anyway. You can give it a try anyway. If they start crashing just reboot or respring your device and wait till they're updated.

    That didn't work either for some reason. The only thing that I can see that I downloaded is Winterboard. Guess I'll just wait for things to be updadted.

    Will the cydia stuff be getting updated??? From what I have read saurik was working on a jailbreak with somebody else and that's why ios7 jailbreak was released early. Looks like there was a bit of a falling out between the two

    Ipad2 won't work on new jailbreak, goes into boot reloop.

    This is what I was looking for thanks!!!

    Can't find out if this has been solved or not yet?

    Edit - From looking at the youtube channel, this has not been solved.

    I don't know if I'm in the correct tread or not but I need help with a used ipod I recently purchased.
    It is an ipod touch 4g, it does not turn on, when I connect it to the pc, I can hear a sound indicating something has connected to the usb port, I do not see it in my computer but in iTunes it say an ipod in recovery mode and must be restored. Nothing about the ipod is recognised in itune just that it is and ipod, no seriel number or ios details.
    Now, when I try to restore it, it will run until it says waiting for ipod and hang there until I disconnect it from the pc. On the ipod I see the apple logo and progress bar but it doesn't move. Any ideas what I can do or if it is even fixable? Any advice is much appreciated.

    Flipcontrolcenter released in Cydia.
    Need to add http://rpetri.ch/repo/ in source.
    Basically its like scrollingdock for your control center. Allows you to reorganise the icons in whatever you prefer and to scroll through pages of them.
    Still in beta but nice. No probs so far with it,

    Wound rather this on top as it's interfering with the scroll timeline of my media players. If I want to up/lower the brightness of the screen and I swipe up it sends my media to a later time and I've also touched the timeline bar. Very annoying especially on xbmc.

    I'm sorry now I updated. All my apps crash on startup. Nothing works.

    If anyone else experiences the same issue, just restart your device with the volume up key pressed to disable Mobile Substrate

    Is it possible to airplay xbmc to an apple tv 3?


  • Registered Users Posts: 541 ✭✭✭Ninap


    Hi

    I've only recently realised that my Apple TV2 can be jailbroken (duh), and was going to do it myself, but have some basic probs, such as a full hard drive on my lap top, a lack of a micro USB, running 6.0.2 etc, so just wondering if anyone knows someone who can do it for me commercially in Dublin, and add XBMC? (I'm aware of a guy in Roscommon, but don't fancy posting off my ATV for several days). Also, would someone doing it for me need access to my iTunes account, or can they use any one? Would that mean I'd lose purchased movies etc from my ATV?

    Thanks in advance

    Not sure if I'm allowed mention this but it's about unlocking. Got my phone unlocked through an eBay seller. It was €7 so I thought no harm trying and with PayPal I could get it refunded if it didn't work.

    To my surprise less than 12 hours later my phone was unlocked, finally upgraded to ios 7 and no longer did I need a gevey sim tray. I'm guessing there is a lot of fake offers but for €7 I'm amazed it worked and so quickly.

    Fair amount on google about this. The "good" unlockers with great feedback are generally in the phone companies or have a contact in there getting kickbacks.

    Why the phone companies can't reconcile the number of unlocks each month to the cash charged to their customers and therefore find out the "illegal" unlocks is beyond me but it seems to be the case.

    Well for me I had a 3 UK sim lock. They've just started doing free unlocks so I'd imagine that helps someone on the inside no end. Regardless I'm pleased with the result anyway. Still can't believe it was so cheap when you consider a lot of places charge €100+ or used to anyway.

    Be careful with this one!




    New iOS 7 jailbreak Evasi0n actually a Trojan




    Curb your enthusiasm, jailbreak devotees; downloading Evasi0n, the new iOS 7 jailbreak, could be dangerous. Developed by Evad3rs, this jailbreak includes hidden code from a third-party Chinese vendor that resists any analysis and tampering. In a recent blog post, Lookout explains why you might not want to download Evasi0n.

    Pretty sure that is old news really and has since been rectified. I think!

    Does anyone know of a an app or tweak that will enable me to download an mp3 from safari in iOS 7?

    As you know, safari will just play the mp3 in the browser and not allow a download option.

    Safari download manager, enabler etc... have not yet been updated for iOS 7.

    I seriously do not want to have to use another computer via itunes or dropbox to put an mp3 onto my ipad. I bought the ipad as a replacement to a PC.

    And these are legal mp3s from artists on soundcloud, bandcamp, bleep etc..

    I think its seriously retarded that apple block mp3s when you can download other file formats such as .ogg no problem with safari.

    I dont mind if i cant add the mp3 to the music library. I can use iFile to browse them and play them.

    Just wondering if anyone can help.. Every time I download a ringtone from Cydia, I can't find it. It's not in sounds>ringtones where it usually would be. I've tried re-installing the packages several times but to no avail. Everything else I download is there, just not the tones. Any ideas?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 76 ✭✭steadyeddie08


    Download ToneEnabler and they should then show up

    I had the springboard completely crash on me the other day for the first time,
    It rebooted into Safe Mode, black lock screen and no wallpapers just like Safe Mode on Windows!

    Ony had the facebook app and safari running at the time, so have no idea what the culprit was!

    I find that chrome and safari crash often enough since the jailbreak, i might have to start afresh again.

    I have inherited an bricked iPhone 3g, when I power it on it just shows the "connect to iTunes" graphic, iTunes reports that it is in recovery mode, if I try to restore with 2.1.1 firmware I get error 1015,
    I have no way of knowing what version of IOS or firmware is installed, most of the online tutorials seem to be 3 or 4 years old with dead links,
    I would like to unlock it and Jailbreak it so that I can use an O2 sim, where do I start?

    Thanks for any help
