Okay. I need to know where exactly I can find all the info I need for upgrading my iPhone. No, I didnt bother reading it here, but I noticed it was for iPhone 3.0. What about 3.1.2? Can I still use Cydia if I upgrade to 3.1.2? Or, what do I need to do?

[Reply]

crap, i upgraded and forgot to remove all my apps from categories folder. So, are they all gone until the jailbreak? These are all appstore apps missing, i.e. TTR, shazam, facebook etc. All the icons that were on the desktop prior, are back after upgrade to 3.0

Just work through step #9 in my post and you will have your apps back.

[Reply]

David Reply:
June 17th, 2009 at 10:50 pm

BigBoss, regarding your step # 9, I have WAY more apps installed than will fit on 9 home screens, so what happens to the ones that do not appear even though I “unhide” them before restoring?

[Reply]

dario Reply:
June 18th, 2009 at 8:09 am

with 3.0 you have now up to 11 springboards.
Just do step #9 and then remove some apps, then do step #9 again. Maybe this could solve your problem.

David Reply:
June 19th, 2009 at 6:35 pm

Is step # 9 necessary if I do not have any “key” apps hidden with “Poof” (or a similar utility)? Much easier to unhide BossPrefs and upgrade (using “Restore”, of course), jailbreak, install categories, etc., and then find all my apps in their correct folders, right? It is the following language in step # 9 that gives me this idea:

“unhide all apps you care about making you update worthy”

If the presence of hidden apps might crash the iPhone and make it difficult or impossible to go forward with jailbreak, then I’ll suck it up and unhide everything, but might this not cause another problem?

What does the iPhone do if there are more apps installed than the maximum number of icons the iPhone can display? That seems like it would be very much like having hidden apps.

I would like to avoid removing a lot of apps. If I have to, I can unhide all the apps, but I want to know BEFOREHAND if the iPhone will have any problems. There would be a lot of apps that are not hidden with “Poof” but would still not appear because there are not enough springboard pages.

Much easier if I can just leave apps hidden, other than “Poof” or other apps essential to the jailbreak process.

Hi. I did something similar, but worse, than owen. My settings app was not on a home page, but instead tucked into a categories folder.

Is there anything other than a full restore I can do? Or is it somehow possible to still follow the steps in #9?

I did the same thing. My settings app, my categories app, cydia, and winterboard were all in a categories folder when I upgraded using redsn0w. Not sure what to do to get to the settings folder to follow instruction #9.
Any suggestions are very welcome.

June 20th, 2009 at 6:23 pm

To those that are looking for the solution I figured out how to get my apps back after my update and everything (cydia, settings, and such) being hidden.

Use iphone browser (download it) and delete the file located at /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SpringBoard.plist. Then reboot.

I got ‘em all back. Now I’ll never put settings or cydia into a categories folder again. Lesson learned.

Updating iTunes alone will not erase your jailbreak. There has to be an upgrade or factory restore to your device while syncing to erase your jailbreak.

This thread is quite amusing. It’s got me in hysterics on my bus trip home.

Personally I’m waiting on iPhone-DEV with bated breath and will follow the instructions outlined by big boss above. It’s just like every other jailbreak really apart from the app incompatibilities, meh I’ll just remove them until 3.0 versions/fixes are released.

[Reply]

Ok a quick question, so basically when you say RESTORE and not UPDATE, your wanting us to manually restore it from a custom firmware that will be given to us or do you want us to RESTORE from a firmware that apple gave us. ALSO what do you mean were going to lost all of our jailbreak apps? Cant we just get them back again AFTER the jailbreak is released!

[Reply]

Belo Reply:
June 18th, 2009 at 9:03 am

If you update your firmware you will lose your jailbreak but not your synced information. Backing up your phone to iTunes before proceeding is a very intelligent idea to ensure this or see BigBoss’ suggestion on SSH into your phone/touch to back up info. If you restore from a back up you do not lose jailbreak, iTunes only restores backed up info, settings, etc. If you so a *factory* restore then you lost everything on your phone but you should back up everything up before doing that if you hope to recover synced information. When you jailbreak you have two options, quickpwn, pwnage tool on Mac, winpwn on windows. The last two give you the option to build custom firmwares then upgrading to that firmware. The advantage is to not upgrade your baseband if you want to unlock to a different carrier. That won’t matter with the jailbreak due this time around because the most recent baseband will be prone to ultrasn0w and you don’t need to worry about a custom firmware. Quickpwn works fine for touches and people not wanting to unlock a phone and is a faster process. When 3.0 jailbreak comes out you will be able to reinstall any apps ported to or unaffected by 3.0 software upgrade.

Now this is frustrating for me.. I upgraded to OS 3.0 without taking a backup now all my Jailbroken Apps have disappeared and when I check my settings Total Space: 14.2 GB Available: 2.1 GB.. where did all my remaining space go? Does that mean all my apps (jailbroken) been deleted and data’s i downloaded using them (movies, mp3s, etc.,) have also been erased?

Any chance I can restore back to 2.x as my iPhone was before OS 3.0 Upgrade? Like I said I never took a backup before upgrade but iTunes actually showed a status message “Backing up iPhone”.. does that mean I have a chance to recover my 2.x OS or only 2.x OS without jailbreak apps? Can someone point me to right direction ..? Cheers

I tried your steps. I downgraded my iTunes to 8.0.2, downloaded OS v2.2 Firmware and then did a Shift + Restore. It showed me an error (I know that’s common). When I rebooted it still has OS 3.0. I also tried QuickPwn, keeps crashing when it detects the device. Have tried every possible way to fix that (installing .NET Framework 3.5, Starting services etc.,) no success yet.

Mind helping me? Cheers

so does it mean ill just have 2 wait for the firmware 3.0???is it same method of jailbreaking???no drama and stuff?

Hey there,

All I care about is keeping my iphone 2g unlocked. If I restore to the 3.0 firmware, will my phone no longer be unlocked?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I read about 75 of the comments looking for an reason but have to run!

Thanks!

[Reply]

There is no jailbreak yet, which is required if you need your phone unlocked, hactivated, or whatever. So unless you can use your phone (2g or 3g) like you just bought it from AT&T then don’t update to 3.0 until the jailbreak tools (pwnage and quickpwn) are released.

Now, my question is are we waiting on custom IPSWs (short timeframe) or are there actual problems activating DFU mode and injecting the bootloader (longer timeframe)? I only ask b/c now that I’ve played with OS 3.0 if its gonna take some time I plan on downgrading my phone so I can re-jailbreak.

Thx BigBoss and Dev-Team!

Its people like this that are extremely greedy - they rip off the hours of work that the dev team has put into making the jailbreaks and unlocks. They just tweak an image in the software and slap a label of $24.99 on it.

Awesome! I was thinking (and you might be too) if it is possible to instead of having both Quickgold AND spotlight, just to create a “plug in” if you will, for Spotlight to add all the missing features from quickgold. That way spotlight would function exactly like Quickgold (searching hidden apps, bookmarks, etc.) but would retain it’s current look, functionality and not add more RAM usage/disk space being filled that would come from having both the searches on your phone.

Just my idea/two cents

Dont worry, I did not ditch this blog nor will there be such issues in an official Dev Team jailbreak.

[Reply]

I had a JB 2.2 and I updated regularly via iTunes. What problems will I face now that I updated instead of restoring?

P.S Will Cydia recognize the apps I had installed after I re-JB my phone?

congratulations,you now have a wasted space (around 500mb)from your iphone cause updating keeps your old cydia files.you can try to access to it via ssh and delete them once you have JB your phone to restore your space….and no cydia wont recognize your old installed apps on the previous firmware

@ Najite

With due respect and humbleness, I am writing you this letter to request with my sincere heart for your assistance and hoped that my request shall meet you in good condition.

My name is Andrew Davies, i am 21 year’s old, my father died of AIDS Virus last 3 months ago ( may his gentle soul rest in peace ) during his time in hospital, he briefed me in close confidence of his Money, which is about: US$ 14.million that he left in a foreign country for safe keeping as the resort of insecurity in our country due to the civil war, this Money as he told me was made for the purchase of industrial plant’s before he failed ill unfortunately and was dead.

In the process of securing this Money, i left my country and has now arrived here in Ivory Coast as my father advised me before his untimely death to move this Money to any foreign country of my choice where it will be properly invested as it is not safe investing in our country due to the civil war.

It is based on this advise that i am contacting you as i am just a student and does not have any knowledge of investmenting this whole Money.

My alternative email address is : a.daves@mailpanda.com

Yours Sincerely,

Andrew Davies.

You can install 3.0 without any jailbreak but you wont have any Cydia apps until the 3.0 jailbreak is released. If you cant wait just do a restore using 3.0 and then wait for the jailbreak. If you have apps you cant live without then wait for the jailbreak.

Hey everyone, I have a pretty weird issue. I previously had a jailbroken iphone, but decided to upgrade to 3.0, and use QwkPwn to start over.

However, when I shut off my phone and turn it back on, it briefly shows my Winterboard theme before reverting to Apple’s default screen.

Is this normal, or how can I totally cleanse my phone from the previous jailbreak?

Thanks.

I am going to go buy the new 32 GB G (s) and sell my iphone 3G 16 GB. My 3G is jailbroken on the 2.2 software, with the baseband that will allow for YellowSn0w.

My questions are, if I buy the new phone before I jailbreak the old phone to the 3.0 software, will I not be able to do it b/c I’ll have essentially an iPod Touch once I remove my phone number from the old phone for the new phone? So I’ll have to sell my old 3G as jailbroken without the 3.0 upgrade?

Thanks,

Hi big boss. I was also impatient and forgot to remove apps from categories folders before I jailbroke. Problem is my setting app was in a folder… Is there any way to access it without the trouble of restoring to an earlier firmware to fix the problem?

[Reply]

Okay questionnnn, I have a 3g with tmobile. How can I get the 3.0 update ? x__x

[Reply]

Hi All,

I feel really stupid.

I just upgraded to 3.0 and (quite cleverly, I thought) made sure I did all of this before doing so. Sadly, I forgot to actually sync the phone with iTunes itself.

The problem is that the format of the data in the directories mentioned seems to have changed in firmware 3.0 and simply overwriting them causes the phone to go into an endless reboot loop.

I am hopeing to downgrade back to 2.2, copy all of the data back over, then sync with iTunes and then upgrade again. Only problem is that I am falling over at the first step. I always get either error 20 (recovery mode) or 1600/1601 (DFU mode).

Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Yo, there are ways to do this: get winpawn 2.5 and a FW that is supported like 2.0,2.01.2.0.2 either 1 go through the whole thing let it ask u to connect ur phone while off and let it do it’s thing into dfu as soon as you see ur iphone with a white screen go to task manager (have it up already) and end task than you open itunes 8.2 and hold shift key while clicking on restore and select the FW you wanna go to! seen this a few places!

Also, Categories (the app) keeps crashing. The Categories Folders I created yesterday are working fine.

Poof by itself (not the one in SBSettings) is working.

I have the following installed: winterboard, sbsettings, categories, StatusNotifier, RockApp and Extensions (these are turned off b/c elert and tlert are not working yet), makeitmine, iblank and cycorder.. pwnage tool, 3G, 3.0 GM

Hi! I’m definitely a nooby here but I have read EVERY post!!! There are explicitly detailed instructions on the web for updating and jailbreaking a phone that has not been previously jailbroken. There are NO clear instructions however to update from a 2.2.1 jailbroken phone. All us novices need clear instructions on how to do this from jailbroken 2.2.1 to a working jailbroken 3.0. Thanks so much!

[Reply]

Argentina says thanks!!!! too.

[Reply]

well, let me justify my asking for concise instructions by saying that I have found no less than three conflicting “guides” out there on the web about the upgrade to 3.0. And LOTS of people on here saying they followed the guide on here and now their phones don’t work. Could be why we keep asking. Sorry to me a pain

Ok i’m in no way an expert at this but ill tell you what I did (sorry bigboss for hackin’ up
ur directions)

IF YOU HAVE AN UNLOCKED IPHONE THIS WILL LOCK IT AND SINCE THERE IS NO WAY TO UNLOCK 3.0 YET YOU WILL HAVE AN EXPENSIVE PAPERWEIGHT FOR A WHILE, SO DONT DO IT!!

ALSO AS OF RIGHT NOW YOU CANT JAILBREAK 3.0 ON WINDOWS SO UNLESS YOU HAVE A MAC YOUR NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE CYDIA SBSETINGS CATEGORIES, ALL THAT STUFF. You can jailbreak with redsnow on a mac now tho so no problem there

I trust itunes back up, ive never had a problem with it losing any of my contacts or anything

1-If you have hidden any apps using poof, sbsettings, bossprefs or such, you should unhide them all prior to updating to avoid issues. Go to settings, (general), enable restrictions, enter a password, then disable restrictions. That should unhide all apps you care about making you update worthy in one easy step.

2-Restore your iphone by
a.update itunes (if you haven’t already NOT YOUR PHONE!)
b.plug iphone in
c.I downloaded the update first (I dont know if you have to) the little update box pops up says UPDATE or DOWNLOAD ONLY
d. click download only
e. after it downloads click restore on your iphone page
f. it’ll ask if you want to back up click yes
g. let it do its thing (it takes awhile)
e. click restore from backup

your all set
its 4:40 am here and ill look at this again tommorow

The problem is that the jailbreaking process is complex and scary. Get it wrong and you have Swriois Problems. There are different programs with odd names. Complex procedures. There is no step by step instructions in plain English. It’s geeky and only simple for those In The Know. I do not care at all HOW my phone works. I don’t WANT to know all the Stuff. I just want to tether my phone to my laptop without the Apple-carrier restrictions. Apple lies. Carrier lies. Cydia is confusing. This all sucks frankly and I hate it.

DL the update - 299.5
(btw - even after i removed 2.99-4 and did a new install of 2.99-5 - the app still shows me 2.99-4 version.)
sbsettings still crashes when “more” is selected.

Any idea why?

Hi. Unlock is when u have an AT&T phone and u either put a different sim in it so that u can use it on another network besides AT&T or when you use software to do the same thing. Jailbreaking is when you use a program called pwnage or the new redsn0w to customize your phone thru cydia like changing settings or putting themes on your phone or getting applications that you can’t find in the app store. Hope this helped

Hi everyone. I am posting from Mumbai, India. I had 3g iphone with 2.2. Ten days back I restored from itunes, jb with redsn0w then unlocked with ultrasn0w. My old sim which I used before did not work after unlocking but my other sim worked in it, so no probs. everything was working fine till sat. I downloaded via cydia bossprefs, sbssettings 3.01 and backgrounder. After that my cydia does not open, it just crashes. I tried to delete this new apps using cydelete but could not as it shows uninstall error. Pls help how to get back cydia. Thats the only reason i jailbroked cant live without it.

I used PwnageTool 3.0 last night and everything went well. Today I used my iPhone and played with some of the new stuff. When I got home, I plugged in to my iMac and and updated Cydia and downloaded Snapture. After awhile, I noticed that the pineapple was on screen and I thought nothing of it. It has been on screen for about 3 hours now and the only way to turn it off is to press Home and Power at the same time. Does anyone know what may have happened? Does anyone know what I can or should do to fix it? I tried to redo the JB but Pwnage has stopped at the “Connect device to USB” screen and all that moves is the spinning wheel of death, harbinger of great evil. I can’t even exit out of Pwnage, now.

[Reply]

try full restore in dfu mode with itunes.
and try to use redsnow unstead of pwnage to jailbreak it…

[Reply]

Don’t know what I did right but I did it! I held the power and home button together until the pineapple went off. I continued to hold the two buttons because I didn’t really have anything else to do. After a few seconds, the restore image came up. I started iTunes and Voila! Success! iTunes “saw” the phone and I started the restore. My phone is back and I hope it doesn’t go through that shit again.

[Reply]

thanks from dutchstreetdog http://www.sexshopscheveningen.nl you are the master

[Reply]

Goddamnit. Every time I try to access Cydia my phone goes to shit and I have to restore. The first two times it happened I was dl Snapture. The last time I was trying to upgrade three files. Every time, something locks my phone. I thought I had done the jb correctly because everything was working afterwards. Now, I am afraid to do anything with the phone after a restore. When I just select Restore in iTunes I get a window that says Are you sure you want to restore the iPhone to it’s factory settings? All of your media and other data will be erased and the newest version of the iPhone software will be installed. Usually I have selected option and clicked restore. Will I brick the phone if I do the restore and update or should I just do the option restore method?

hey earl,

i think its just the method, cause there’s been so many deferent means to the same goal its got a little confusion.

before i go a head i need to clear up a few things, forgive for the hesitation. blksn0w/rain was constructed for pc to achieve 3.1.2. so the above is nea good for me, but thank you for the response.

i just got ipsw for 3.0 and from what i have read this is what i’m meant to do but i want some confirmation before i go head;

- restore via itunes (via option+click, select 3.0FW)
- pwn via 3.1.4 > to get phone to 3.1.2FW - JB
(now my phones already BJ’d and unlocked. is this process any different due to that)
- unlock phone via mean of ultrasn0w
(now this is one of those cloudy areas, as replies indicate that it Ultra’ has both worked and failed. is there a confirmed mean to gain unlock?)

its not like i need the facility but i think it best to keep on track with the hack for when i do feel the need. i don’t really want to not have the ability to unlock taken away, hence me upgrading in the first place.

HELP! Upgraded my iPhone 2G from jailbroken/unlocked to 3.0.1 today.

For the most part, it was straightforward. I ended up with a jailbroken and unlocked 3.0.1 that worked fine, and iTunes restored all the app store apps but not the jailbreak apps, and did not restore my contacts or mail settings.

No big deal, I did have Cydia and reinstalled the jailbreak apps just fine there. And I have an iPhoneBrowser copy of my contacts.

But here is the problem. After upgrading just fine, and syncing one time just fine, all of a sudden my USB connection to the iPhone has gotten very unstable and acting crazy, so I cannot sync any more, and cannot use iPhoneBrowser to restore my contacts.

I plug it in, and sometimes iTunes or iPhoneBrowser recognize the phone for a few seconds, then it drops out. Sometimes Windows gives the double-bad-bong when I plug it in and it says USB device malfunctioned, sometimes it is OK for a few seconds then dies.

Any ideas what happened here? The phone itself works fine, but the battery does seem a little low. I read somewhere low battery could effect USB connections?

I updated the imaging driver and Apple Mobile device drivers via Windows update, those were very minor version changes from what I had, and it still did not help.

My iTunes is version 8.2 - I am a little scared to let it upgrade to version 9.

Any ideas why my usb connection to the iphone suddenly went crazy? Should I try to downgrade the phone back to 2.2.1?

I was afraid something like this would happen, I have stayed with 2.2.1 for a long time cause it pretty much worked OK for me, then suddenly I decided to give version 3.0.1 a try. Thought I had it nailed without too much trouble but now this USB problem…

A little more info on this - I read on another web site where I guy said to disable the USB 2.0 controller in windows device manager.

So I did that, and of course now all my USB ports are 1.1 and working slower, but now iPhoneBrowser DOES work and I restored my contacts etc just fine. I am pretty sure iTunes will sync now also, but slowly.

So the problem has something to do with the USB 2.0 being unstable with iPhone version 3.0.1 release???? Is that possible?

Any ideas? I may see if windows update has a new driver for the USB 2.0 controller.

thanks.

OK a little more info yet…

Upgrading windoze 2.0 USB driver did not help (didn’t hurt either)

I had been using some inexpensive chinese iPhone USB cables.

I just tried the official apple USB cable, and the USB 2.0 seems fine now.

I guess you get what you paid for.

BUT - the chinese cables worked fine with firmware 2.2.1 in the iPhone!

SOMETHING is a little different in the USB in the iPhone 2G 3.0.1 firmware that makes it a little more picky about the USB connection!

mac1_131 Reply:

OK sorry to keep answering my own questions, but I think everything is resolved now.

The USB driver in 3.01 is fine. What is NOT fine is the push email gobbling up the battery life to nothing.

When you add an email account, it appears to default to push enabled. Well how can you have push email without a push-enabled (i.e. blackberry technology) email server at the other end?

Probably means their “push” email really means constantly pulling email, to make it appear to be pushed. That means the radios, either edge, 3g or wifi, are CONSTANTLY jabbering away when push email is enabled.

It is so bad your phone gets hot, the battery will never charge, goes dead immediately, and in my case, the cheap chinese USB cables will not work correctly when the radios are transmitting.

So I diagnosed all this because my battery was suddenly crap, and the threads about that led me to turn off push email, and notifications, and now my battery life was just like before. And my cheap USB cables work again, as long as the radios are not transmitting.

So after a real panic where I was sure I would have to go back to 2.2.1, I find that 3.0.1 is just fine and working great, and I am enjoying all the new features.

How do they figure push email is going to work on a pop server? What were they thinking?

boy I’ve learned a lot (I think) in the past few days…

seems like the 2.2.1 to 3.0.1 restore trashed my cellular data APN settings, then when a push app got turned on, the phone went nuts. lots of folks had the same thing happen.

getting the push apps off was a big start. then I got a plist editor and edited the carrierbundle carrier.plist file to turn the ability to access the Cellular Data Settings back on, and fixed the APN settings, now edge works fine, and the phone does not go quite so crazy if a push app gets enabled, although they don’t work yet because it is a havtivated phone.

so I need a UDID to make the push work - and that is a big deal on a hacktivated phone. apparently you need a clean phone to request a unique set of certificates on, then you copy those to the hacktivated phone, then you have to go back to the clean phone and get it another set of clean certificates. what a hassle!

sorry to take up all the bandwidth here but as I find all these things out, I just wanted to share them. the info on this stuff is all over the place… some bogus, some good…
