YES!!!! am one those fortunate folks that let Cydia store my info. However, am happy with 3.0.1 3gs. My tethering and MMS with AT&T works perfectly…I just have to wait for dev team to release the latest pwnage tool for the 3.1…anyhow, just in case i mess up my 3gs, at least i feel comfortable of getting it back to 3.0 though i dont intent to make any stupid acts…:)

Although I don’t own a 3GS, I’m commenting here because of one statement:

“Out of well-deserved respect for Saurik, I am not copying the data here.”

BigBoss, I’d just like to point out the amount of immense respect I have for both you and Saurik, specifically. The volumes of work you guys have done in making the iPhone as useful as possible is nothing short of incredible, and though most people may not really care who’s behind Cydia and SBSettings and the like, they’re still awfully glad to have them. Honestly speaking, if you guys hadn’t done everything you have, there wouldn’t be much point to jailbreaking an iPhone (unless one wants to unlock, of course).

Basically, I’d just like to say thanks – To you and to Saurik and the entire Dev Team as well. Apple’s shiny toy wouldn’t really have attracted me a tenth as much as it does if you guys hadn’t put the polish on it. :)

Yes, how? I updated my IPCC file and have the camera icon for MMS, but doesn’t work.

This is great news and I intend to follow Sauriks directions. Just one question. Does changing the host file change anything else in iTunes? In other words, does Genius still work and/or is Saurik now collecting info on my apps, songs, playlists, etc? I have alot of respect for him but want to know what, if anything he can see if I change my host file to point to his server

As a new user of an Iphone (3GS) i want to show all my respect for this comunity.
Best taughts for the job you do helping us to use our Iphones.
I’ve read saurik’s instructions and please help me :
1. how should I know if Cydia stored my information?
2 how could I open the “hosts” file?

thank you guys

Great article that Saurik wrote, I just have one question that I’m still confused about… I understand that to future proof restores and jail breaks on the iPhone 3GS, it is recomended to change the iTunes server to cydia instead of the apple server.

I don’t have a 3GS, I own a iPhone 3G running 3.0 jailbreak. Does that process in future proofing jailbreaks also count to us regular 3G users or do we just keep doing it like we have done in the past? Just jailbreak normally when new tools are available for firmware 3.1?

Thanks in advance, and to everyone in the iPhone community/scene, thanks so much for making the iPhone what it it today

Woot! I saved that ECID SHSH information the instant it was an option :)
I probably won’t be upgreadinv to 3.1 yet, but I love that there is a safty net now. Ty and keep up the great work guys!

1# you will know if Cydia has stored your files in
cydia.. Just check the main page at the top and if you find a note saying this iPhone 3G[s] has an ECID on file then you are in..
2# open with notepad ( just open c>windows>system32…… as saurik said..
If you want to read more go to modmyi as saurik says..

1. I would just try it. I think if it comes back with a 3000 error cydia didn’t save ur info.

2. Notepad I believe but if ur on a mac I’m not sure.

Not withstanding the great work done by Saurik and others it seems to me a secondary approach might be worth discussing.

I come to iphone from a long history with “palm”. One of the best things about the palm was the ability to restore to a known state (no matter what the condition) your phone. There was a large range of software that both ran on the palm itself or a desktop that allowed you to restore your device to as it was when you backed it up.

It would seem to me this would completely cut apple out of the loop and would reduce the war of esclation between apple and Saurik the like.

I for one have never really been that interested in the so called new features of many of the firmware upgrades.

I would pay a lot of a peice of software that with one tap backed up (took an image)everything on the iphone. Then after placing the device is some mode hitting “go” restored it fully to the backup condition. No itunes, no apple. Just a simple and dirty full backup and restore. We do this with our PC’s without the intervention of Microsoft. Yes you would loose everything you did since the last backup but you could then use iTunes to sync the missing stuff.

Surely everything that is needed to run my iphone in on it. I dont fully understand the need to check and sign with apple

@baller786,

I had the same problem, installed a program om cydia and my phone was dead. Now I’m running 3.1 and cannot use the phone, only use it like a expensive iPod touch.

We have no choice but wait for devteam (aka god).

No

How do I store my stuff with Cydia?

Hi I need help with my iTunes I don’t know why every time I close iTunes every music,video,& aplication it gone. & I have to do the proces again. Please anywant tell me how I fix thits
thank you

I saved my ECID SHSH file on Cydia when I had the chance, but in saurik’s article he says that the window will be open again to save the file for 3.1 firmware. Do I (and other people with the file saved for 3.0.1) need to restore to 3.1 and save the ECID SHSH file again so that I’ll be safe for other future firmware releases?

hi, I have a 3gs OS 3.1, please how to downgrade to 3.0 … plZ but the error occurred 3002, can someone help me how to do..HPM

saurik has said that the window was closed to save any more files for the 3.0 firmware. Apparently (I’m not 100% sure) another window will open once the 3.1 firmware is jailbroken.

When I changed the file I saved it (in Notepad) and reopened the file to ensure that the changes were actually still there. It took two tries, but after the second time the altered file was there.

Hey,
Kindly help me out I’ve upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 3.1 from iTunes which i had no idea of what i was doing at that time. Now is there any chance that i could retrieve my iPhone as in Sim Carrier and jailbreak ?? please if yes, then reply me back. I’ll be highly Grateful. :) Cheers

I totally agree with you. I also come to iPhone from a long history of Sony Ericsson P-series and it is just the same with “your palm” ideas. I believe that Saurik, Bigboss and others can do it technically, but why not, I guess it relates to legal matters . Apple itself surely can do it, but I think apple will do it gradually until it make a lot, a lot, a lot of money. Making money is also one of the best things of apple’s.

I still have 3.0.1 on my phone and iTunes 9…I DL 3.0.1_7A400.ipsw and use redsn0w and it still doesnt recognize it…

Any thoughts?

I never saved my ECID to Cydia, but I have the numbers on a wordfile saved on my computer.

Any way I can downgrade with this information?

yes:

For T-mobile you must set up the Network Settings for MMS as follows:

Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network

MMS
——
APN: wap.voicestream.com
username: (blank)
password: (blank)
MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
MMS Max Message Size: (blank)
MMS UA Prof URL: (blank)

After a reboot you should get the camera icon in the SMS window.

With ATT I’m not sure..

Hi, and many thanks for you, BigBoss, and all those who work for us !
