I released SBSettings 3.0-1 that fixes the catastrophic code signing error from 3.0. I also removed 3.0 from my servers so even stale package files cannot accidentally download it. It’s literally gone. Read on for fixes if you need them.
Tonight I released SBSettings 3.0 but code sign failed. Apparently on 3.0, if you don’t code sign, it still works. So when I tested the install, it was fine. This is new. On 2.x if code sign fails, the app won’t work. Since SBSettings is part of springboard, it put springboard into an endless reboot loop.You do not have to restore. Here is how to fix it.
For everyone on 2.x that updated to SBSettings 3.0 I am very sorry about your troubles. Here is how to fix it:
Delete the files /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries/SBSettings.dylib off your device and reboot.
Here are some ways you can do that:
1) SSH or SCP in and delete them. Here is the how to ssh guide. For SCP, navigate in to /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries folder and just delete the file.
2) In SSH prompt, type rm -f /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries. Note, using SSH or SCP, your device will reboot every 10 minutes as springboard crashes and watchdog timer reboots it. You will need to be patient in a reboot as it takes it a while for network system to come alive again. It will come up though.
3) WINDOWS USERS: Use iPhone Browser (download here) or iFunBox (download here). This works on PC by connecting to your device via USB. Dock your iPhone and load up iPhone Browser. Navigate to /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries folder and delete the SBSettings.dylib file. Note, if your iPhone is in middle of reboot you may need to wait for it to become recognized. Like SSH, it will be recognized you just need to give it a couple minutes if it is not yet booted up enough to be pc recognized.
4) MAC USERS: Use iFuntastic (download here) and follow step #3 above.
If you don’t know how to reboot your iPhone after completing the above steps, just hold home and power until the device powers off. Then let go of both and hold power to turn the device on.
Anyways, I feel terrible for anyone that has had problems due to this mistake. In the small amount of time that I released this and watched 1 tv show, it was downloaded 40,000 times. I hope almost all those are users on 3.0. I will make sure and test for this code sign error on 2.x in the future.

Thanks big boss always on top of things

Too little too late. Had to restore because iphone was stuck on boot logo and I didn’t know it was because of SBSettings. At least it is fixed I guess.
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:00 am
So, when will the repo be back up?
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:00 am
I was one of the infinite loop victims, but we found this solution over on the xsellize irc channel!
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:00 am
I was happy to find a way without restoring.
Anyway thanks again for your great work for the community. I really appreciate it. Keep going!
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:01 am
Thanks for this, i thought it had totally broken my ipod, luckily google brang this up before i threw it out the window!
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:02 am
Thanks for your effort. who works make mistakes, and you are working very hard for us. Don’t feel dissapointed about one error, you should to feel proud for your many successes.
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:05 am
Was installing scummvm when I noticed sbsettings 3.0 was out – ended up in the endless loop.
Just before I had to restore you wrote this post.
Thank you!
Restoring would’ve been more than a pain in the ass, as I didn’t had a backup and the application config files etc would’ve been gone anyway.

Hello, I have a problem with SBSettings. It isn’t on my SpringBoard. I have an iPhone 3G Firmware 3.0 Jailbreaked with Redsn0wn in French language.
I also installed after, Bossprefs and it is on the SpringBoard and it works.
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:48 am
no problem.
SBSettings is the best thing for jailbreak :-)
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:51 am
:-(,
read this post too late. I already restored.
Thx anyway for this great app!
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:55 am
Had to restore as well…
But hey, risks are a part of having an iPhone…
Thanx BigBoss ;)
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:11 am
So those who have downloaded 3.0.1.How is it so far?Stable?
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:12 am
I´m facing the next issue with V3.0-1
When respringing through SBSettings it stays on the Respring screen not returning back to SpringBoard.
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:14 am
OMG, I am a noob and was just about to restore. Thanks for posting this fix and keep up the great work!
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:24 am
I have a problem….while trying to fix this i deleted the wrong files: i deleted the 2 files which aren’t a .png in the /Library/MobileSubstrate/ folder, not the sbsettings one in DynamicLibraries…now i deleted the right files but the iPhone isn’t booting anymore…can someone send me the files that are in the MobileSubstrate folder or tell me how to fix it? :( Thank you…
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:42 am

Those are different based on what you installed. You would need to reinstall whatever you deleted from cydia.
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:30 am
Sorry to add to the admiration society, but this is a freakin great piece of code and it’s free!
I use this and Categories more than anything else on my iphone. Can’t wait for the Close App button to be fixed.
Thanks!
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:46 am
I’m on firmware 3.0 and sbsettings 3.0-1 but I can’t get rid of the autocorrection feature. Even when turning the autocorrection toggle off via sbsettings I still have the autocorrection feature on. Also, sometimes when turning the toggle on/off and getting back to the springboard, my iphone freezes. Does that make sense to anyone here?
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:51 am

I just re-JB my 2G (1st Gen) with redsn0w 0.7.2, and everything went well. When logged onto Cydia, did the essential upgrade, then when I tried to install SBsettings or BossPref, getting this error:
“Couldn’t configure pre-depend dpkg for grep, probably a dependency cycle.”
Can anyone help please?
Thanks.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:15 am
are you tmobile and can you get the internet?
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:23 am
Thanks for all the Help Big Boss, I knew you’d have a solution :) (Which is why I didn’t restore).
and thanks for all your work, Your apps are crazy good!
You the man!

I am on T-mobile US. Have no problems with internet on EDGE. I solved the problem – I initially JB with redsn0w 0.7.1 but phone was very slow. I re-JB with 0.7.2, and installed both Cydia and ICY. After searching some other forums, found that ICY seems to be the culprit in causing above error message. I re-JB with 0.7.2 without ICY and problem solved. No need to restore, just re-JB. Hope this helps whoever runs into this problem.
If you’re having problems accessing internet on T-mobile via Edge after restore, make sure you put in the right APN for cellular data network in settings.

what do i have to put in can you help me my yahoo is hienhoangan27@yahoo can you show me the way
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:54 am
It seems that SBSettings causes the phone to be unreachable for some phones and it messes with the safari bookmarks menu. If you choose “Add bookmark” it will create a “Add to homescreen” icon.
Also, it seems to remove the “Mail link to this page” option.
Any suggestions? Occurs on 2G iphone with 3.0-1
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:19 am
Hi
Hay awesome work,but i have a little problem,im not sure if it has to do with sbsettings,i have iphone 3g,and after some time i phone still crashes and i have to reboot again.Does anyone else have this problem?
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:21 am
I just updated Categories and Iphone just freezed on the white apple !
I tried EVERYTHING to reboot it, restore from the previous save etc..& the only way is to restore it in DFU mode!
My fault I didn’t think to empty folders in CATEGORIES but maybe you should warn people that update will/could crash the iphone!
I have to say I tried to update Sb setting Categorie in the same time!
But maybe it should be useful to prevent people from doing this dangerous update !
You work is always amazing, sorry if I’m a lil bit rude but it’s really annoying !!!!!

June 22nd, 2009 at 10:30 am
Anyone missing the alphabertical listing in Cydia search under 3.0??
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:51 am
STP, jette un oeil à la description : SBsettings, par principe, n’est pas une application à proprement parler… Elle n’apparaît donc pas sur ton SpringBoard !
En revanche, si tu balayes la barre en haut de ton écran (où tu as ton réseau GSM et l’heure) de gauche à droite, tu verras SBsettings apparaître.
C’est là tout le génie : pas besoin de revenir au SpringBoard pour activer SBsettings !
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:53 am
Go to Settings – Network. Turn Data Roaming ON. Then under Cellular Data Network – in APN field, enter internet2.voicestream.com. Leave other two fields blank. Call T-mobile customer support, tell them you have an unlocked iphone. They have a full division dedicated to iPhone support, and they are very helpful.
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:23 am
I read this post also too late.
But my phone was on version 3.0 and it crashed after update in cydia.
And I can even not restore with custom firmware. iTunes say error 1600?
What can I do?
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:31 am
hey man wheres the cool sonic and donkeykong screen gone??
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:40 am
first off thanks for everything you’ve put out!
ok so yesterday i was having the same issues as everyone, my phone wasnt working so i went to the settings menu and just did a FULL Reset after HOURS on the apple logo i decided to just to another restore did it and everything was fine i waited for you to fix the prob…3.0…i just installed 3.0-1 and now my phone wont work on 3G…i wont make calls and it wont get on the net…when i get off of 3G it goes to Edge and works fine but i NEED 3G! lol
What do you think the prob is? is anyone else having this issue? i just deleted SBS and did a reboot and now im good 3G is fine but i really want the SBS back please fix it asap!
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:46 am
It’s unknown error 2006 I got when I’m in restore mode.
Anybody any idea?
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:29 pm
Quick question of the Date/Time status bar status. On the very first screenshot notifying there will be this ability, the format is 1:00 – (6/22/09) and looks very clean like on macs.
But in the next screenshot of the update, the format now looks like “6/22 – 1:00″
Which of the formats is going to be the official?
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:14 pm
the last one 6/22-1:00.
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Man I went crazy couse i heard somewhere else that I must restore….
Well, at least You wrote down the solution…
keep going on!
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:19 pm
How can we change it so it looks like 1:00 – (Da/te/) or do we have that ability as a non-programmer?
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:45 pm
Hey bigboss! I have trouble to make imobilecinema to work with sbsettings 3.x! What should I do? Downgrade to 2.x? And how? Thx
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:51 pm
I was one of the 40,000 from ARG, I have a iPhone 1st Gen and I freaked out the entire day but, nut it’s working.
Thanks for the fix!!
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:56 pm
my springboard keeps crashing anyway after deleting this file!!
what to do? even playing back the backup from itunes wont work!
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:09 pm
okay, for me it was a corrupt sms.db file i but there from my backup in os 2.2
any ideas how to get by sms back?
i have 2 sms.db files, one from 2.2 and one from 3.0 (update-mode)
after installing, i see the sms’s but cant write or delete them..
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:23 pm
well…at one point, I did have my phone working again after the mistaken sbsettings install…but the problem is that I did it by editing the launchdaemon com.apple.springboard.plist and deleting the line that loads mobilesubstrate. that worked, somewhat, except that of course none of the mobilesubstrate addons would work….so I tried to to just do a restore using aptbackup…
now I’m back to an infinite loop/hang.
Unfortunately, I deleted the mobilesubstrate.dylib out of MobileSubstrate folder, thinking that it was somehow a faulty mobilesubstrate file itself that was messing things up.
whoops.
have I any hope, obi-wan?
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:37 pm
Is that true? I have been looking for the cause of this forever.
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:08 pm
It still doesn’t work for me. I removed the file as suggested in the method however I’m still stuck in that endless loop. And I can’t even restore it anymore, iTunes keeps giving me Error 1600. Please help, the phone was upgarded to 3.0 using redsn0w :-(
Do I have a dead iphone2G now :-(
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:14 pm
No. BigBoss decides the format.
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:21 pm
You are doing an awesome work.but man ,this screwed my iphone big time,i couldn’t even get to any screen on the iphone.it kept rebooting so now im recovering.I need sbsettings ,so ill wait bigboss make it perfect soon,Real soon :)
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Ouch, I really need help with this. My iphone gets stuck on the boot logo forever and my iphone browser isn’t recognizing it and I can’t seem to winscp it cause I’m not entirily sure what ip address its connecting to if it is at all. I tried my wi-fi IP that my computer is on, but thats not working. Damn, this is a pain.
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:05 pm
BossPrefs still not opening when clicked on, just goes to “initializing settings” then quits! I tried version 3.0-1 update, still crashes.
also, SBSettings, when I click on “MORE” to open up the settings, it also says “initializing” and then quits back to springboard?
any idea when these glitches will be fixed? thanks, and do I appreciate all you guys do, you are the best, and really love the work you guys do.
i’ll wait patiently for the fixes, b/c I know how crazy it all is right now to make it perfect, and perfect takes time and trial and error.
thanks again!
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Muahaha ha ha ( Stewie Griffin’s evil laught).
U guys were screwed.
Hey , it’s free. No complaints.
Sometimes, Beta testers have to pay the price.
Now that you guys have bleeded for me, :)
It’s safe for me to jailbreak.
Tomorrow is the Big day.

I’ll tell you more tomorrow. LOL

Could you try to bring back the pre 3.0 numerical battery? The new one covers the status icons of programs. Thanks.
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:49 pm
Just tried this after hitting reboot on sbsettings, and I’m now stuck at an apple logo with a non moving circular progress icon mixed in with it. So this didn’t work for me. Got any other suggestions? I’d rather not restore!
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:52 pm
get quickpwn rc3, then follow the directions till you get a white screen, when you do, unplug iphone, and quit quickpwn, then plug it back in and start itunes and then restore. worked for me when I was getting that error
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Deleted Mobilesubstrate.dylib and now it’s just stuck on the apple logo period, doesn’t reboot, just sticks… So I’m going to restore… guess the fix doesn’t work.
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Ah … damn…tried restoring numerous times…it goes till “preparing iphone for restore” and then stops with an error msg – “The iphone could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1600).”
Someone do something quick…all hope is lost atm :-(
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Hey Bigboss,
Thanks for all the wonderful stuff u did for the iPhone. I just wanna ask if there is an alternate way to use SBsettings. I’ve been using Bossprefs prior to my upgrade of my 2G iPhone to OS3.0 yesterday, but it seems that Bossprefs ain’t that good anymore in 3.0.
The reason why I need an alternate way to use Sbsettings or why I did not use it previously was because I had a dead top strip on my iPhone screen. I’ve tried tuning the sensitivity of my screen and yet it still does not work. Please advise if possible. Thanks!!
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:23 pm
I posted above how to restore when you get the 1600 error message, you have to get the dfu mode with the white screen… otherwise no go.
Download the Quickpwn RC3 (not any other one!) and then download the 2.0.2 firmware (this is the firmware it’ll search for.) then follow the steps till you get to the white screen on your iphone, when you do, immediately unplug your iphone, close quickpwn open itunes and it should recognize it as in DFU mode, then restore AS NEW from there.
Good luck!
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:24 pm
FYI I was already on 3.0 (2G iPhone) and updated SBSettings yesterday when I encountered the endless respring (i.e., the issue wasn’t confined to 2.0). Had to restore.
RE error 1600 from iTunes – I encountered this when attempting to restore w/ custom Pwnage firmware, so instead restored w/ Apple native 3.0 firmware, reentered DFU mode, then restored again re. Pwnage firmware (this time no errors).
Thanks, BigBoss, both for your terrific apps and your straightforwardness re. this issue. Much appreciated.
Regards, EricS
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:30 pm
So to you Bigboss,
I downloaded the file last night and ended up falling a sleep without connecting my phone to the charger so I thought: “Oh probably didn’t charge”, after spending a few (2 or 3 hours) trying to get it to work, I didn’t bother to check the interwebs for any possible idea. So in addition to this I had to fix my computer as the windows partion was not booting.
To make a long story short, if it weren’t for you having made this mistake I would have not been able to fix everything on my system.
So while I hated to break my phone I am glad that I was able to fix it in the end all while learning some new tricks.
Thanks.
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Working great for me, but what happened to the little red ‘x’ you used to use to close processes/quick notes or whatever? I can’t make my processes window go away.
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:11 pm
A million thanks for the solution, I did exactly what you said and it is finally restoring again :-)
I was at my wits end and had given up on this iPhone, but thnx to you it is working again :-)
So if anyone is facing the same problem follow the method that JD gave in the above post.
@EricS – I followed what JD said and then with shift+restore in iTunes I gave it the custom pwnage/firmware, it still works like a charm :-)
..and I’m sure your method also works great..so people facing problems can read these posts and find a fix. Thnx to everyone for the great help :-)
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:08 pm
I did not know what happend and that a fix was posted on here.
I restored to 3.0 and lost all my app data etc before I had a chance to back it up :-(
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:24 pm
cant work.
i dee white apple 5-10 minutes, and phone auto reset…:(
i can manual uninstall(delete files and folder) all SBSettings from the iphone?
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:12 pm
i have a 2G with firmware 3.0 and sbsettings 3.0 installed. i have used sbsettings a couple of times (enable battery meter, end processes), had no issues.
is there something in sbsettings which triggers this endless loop, or can i just uninstall and all will be ok?
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:34 pm
Now you tell me. I did try searching on google, and new right after SBSetting was upgraded it hanged, but couldn’t find the solution. On top of that I was unable to restore to any firmware apart from 3.0. Now have to wait endlessly for Ultrasn0w.
Any way good work, and glad you found the error soon.
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:56 pm
UltraSnow is out for those that need unlock 3.0 on the 3G. You will find it in Cydia. If you cant you need to add the new repository which you will find at the dev-teams website!

Please if you can tell me what i’m doing wrong….
Thank you for your hard work!!!!
June 23rd, 2009 at 3:00 am
Me and my mate both had this problem on 2.2.1. But used this to our advantage, as we both decided to upgrade to 3.0.
June 23rd, 2009 at 3:10 am
SBSettings crashes after tapping on the “Hide Apps” Menu, it shows “Enumerating Apps” but after that it returns to springboard :/ any idea whats going on?
June 23rd, 2009 at 3:24 am
man i restored my iphone prob 6 times now trying to get all the apps back on the 3.0fw are there any guides out there which says which apps are 3.0 friendly. im getting lots of errors as well cus some dependent stuff cant be installed.
thanks for help in advance help and also thanks for your work Mr. bigboss to be honest i use the stuff in sbsetting more then i use any other app :D
June 23rd, 2009 at 5:33 am
nvm, my fault.
June 23rd, 2009 at 6:20 am
I would just wait until iMobileCinema gets fixed by the Big Boss. (He’s working on it.)
June 23rd, 2009 at 7:33 am
I also get the error ” Couldn’t configure pre-depend dpkg for grep, probably a dependency cycle. Suggestions???
June 23rd, 2009 at 7:40 am
Yep. Same here. I/we should let saurik know.
June 23rd, 2009 at 7:52 am
That last comment didn’t go through as a reply. It was to the missing alphabet in cydia on 3.0
June 23rd, 2009 at 9:02 am
Oui, j’ai fini par trouvé tout seul. Mais merci pour ta réponse. En effet, c’est géniale cette façon d’apparaitre. PS : j’étais habitué à Bossprefs.
June 23rd, 2009 at 9:16 am
Got also the same, how can i manage this ?
June 23rd, 2009 at 9:19 am
How can i install sbsettings from cydia manually. i installed bossprefs and uninstalled it.now i dont see any link to add bossprefs in cydia.
can somebody give me the manual link
June 23rd, 2009 at 9:31 am
I’m having the same problem, once click on MORE in SbSetting, it’s gone back to SpringBoard.
June 23rd, 2009 at 10:07 am
I just updated and saw that I had a Bluetooth toggle show up on my first-gen iPod Touch. I disabled it via the toggles menu, so it really wasn’t an issue, but I could see it confusing people.
Other than that, it works perfectly. Thanks for all your hard work!

I had the same problem and now I am scared to install SBSettings back on my phone. I have tmobile, never had any problems with edge. Jailbroke last night and EDGE worked this morning until I installed Bossprefs and SBSettings… You think it would be ok if I just installed SBSettings?
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
How did you fix it? I’ve been searching all day without a definitive answer. I’ve done most of the stuff that was suggested and I still end up with crashes everytime.
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:44 am
I also deleted the wrong files and am stuck in reboot. Can anyone tell me where to find the repository for SBSettings and Winterboard so I can SSH them back onto the phone?
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:45 am
He knows.
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:44 pm
I can not install almost nothing: Error “Couldn’t configure pre-depend dpkg for grep, probably a dependency cycle.”
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:48 pm
I recovered from this last night – I updated via Cydia late on Sunday night having JB’d3.0 on Sat using Redsn0w 0.7.1 – all worked fine till the SBsettings update when it wouldn’t boot.
I restored & re JB’d using Redsn0w 0.7.2 (Cydia & Icy – may have been my mistake?) and after that most net apps wouldn’t work including syncing the calendar to google & SSH / SFTP. Cydia crashed continually or gave me the dpkg/grep error when updating anything.
Fix for me was to go back to scratch; 3.0 & JB with Redsn0w 0.7.1 again. Working fine now and stable but it took 2 complete restores to get it that way. The dpkg / grep error for me seemed to be associated with Icy. They stopped when I removed it from the mix.
Hope that helps some people…
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Reading post, I believe that you did not restore as a “new phone”.
June 23rd, 2009 at 1:13 pm
I have an issue with sbs setting 3.0.1 every time i try to go into the more menu the app crashes anyone have a fix for this?? I’m on jailbroken 3.0
June 23rd, 2009 at 1:16 pm
i’m having the same problem..
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:24 pm
I hadn’t read this and did a restore, no harm done, ty backups.
Nice to know the reason and fix.
Thanks for the update.
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Another issue with SBSettings 3.01:
I hit the power button in SBSettings, then Power Off – the screen freezes for about 30 seconds then reboots rather than turns off. The reboot button does the same.
I am with 2G iPhone, installed SBS while on OS 3.0 already.
Any solutions?
And thanks for FABULOUS work
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Hy!
Well,
I tried to install 3.0-1, but ended in… a bootloop…
I restored and then found this post here. I tried it again thinking I installed the old one, but same thing :(
glad I have read the solution to fix it so now sbsettings are not working, but my phone is.
bigboss,
right now it looks like I´m the only one having this problem, but you maby take a look at it.
GREAT work tough :)
Oh, when I was in bootloop, I started ifunbox, it diddn´t recogniced the phone, not in dfu or the one with the itunes logo mode. How do I do that in the future??
Greetings from munich :)
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Just install iHome from Cydia, it works great!
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Try iFun-Box run it, connect your iphone usb and when it recognizes your device, navigate to /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries folder and delete the SBSettings.dylib file. Please note if your iPhone is in middle of reboot you may need to wait for it to become recognized. Like SSH, it will be recognized you just need to give it a couple minutes if it is not yet booted up enough to be pc recognized.
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Ya I noticed that myself. Yur not the only one.
June 23rd, 2009 at 8:05 pm
dont feel bad about it ! the amount of good deeds you’ve done have covered for the mistake !
cheers,
mark
June 23rd, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Hello
It wold be nice to have one toggle for the copy-paste function released by Apple. Is a little annoying to see the copy function when you don’t need it like when reading something or browsing.
BR
June 23rd, 2009 at 9:28 pm
same thing happens to me, but haven’t heard anything about fixing this! Hopefully, they know this, and will fix this, as well as BossPrefs, which just crashes everytime I try to open it. It never aunches.
does that happen to you too?
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Umm I had same problem and when I deleted the file VIA diskaid and rebooted Device problem still didnt go away. any ideas? I had this Issue on 2 iPhone 3G now.
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:30 pm
I love sbsettings but please put battery back to how it was it’s ugly now.
Cheers ben
June 24th, 2009 at 12:50 am
please make the original format an option… it makes more sense for the date to follow the time instead of the other way around. thanks! awesome updates!
June 24th, 2009 at 2:21 am
hi im on iphone 3G 3.0, factory unlocked, after redsn0w, updated sbsettings, endless reboot cycle, keeps restarting springboard and phone keeps vibrating. how to i access the phone’s root if it keeps respringing?!
June 24th, 2009 at 5:34 am
Correct – I used the backup from previous
June 24th, 2009 at 7:15 am
I never installed SBsettings before, and I cannot seem to find it in Cydia. Which repo do I have to add?
June 24th, 2009 at 9:29 am
I remember reading somewhere that the SBSettings crash when touching ‘more’ was not a bug in sb but an issue with the current JB version. If I remember correctly, it talked about installing some -cmds.
Anyone know what I’m talking about and if SI where I can find that article?
Oh- I’m on a 3g running 3.0.
Thanks
June 24th, 2009 at 10:38 am
Hello there, im from Brazil. I have an iphone 2G with the firmware 2.2.1 i think…..and is unlocked…i made this upgrade on monday morning…and i just saw how to fix yesterday…i made everything that the bigboss said..but its still on the lupping…
can anyone help me please?
thanks
June 24th, 2009 at 11:21 am
Yeah, this didn’t work at all for me. I’m using iphone 3g firmware 3.0, downloaded sbsettings and my iphone was going through an infinite boot loop. I used iFunBox, deleted the SBSettings.dylib, reboot my phone and screen was stuck on the boot screen. Anyway I’m restoring my phone right now… I wish it worked :(
any other suggestions?
June 24th, 2009 at 11:45 am
Make sure you set phone as “new phone”; after you restore it.
June 24th, 2009 at 11:46 am
Use Cydia search.
June 24th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
I’ve found that there’s an issue with SBsettings…the power off actually triggers a restart. anyone else have this issue?
June 24th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Yeah, I have the same issue (#76 above). I am almost glad someone else has it and it’s not my iPhone only :-)
Hope it gets solved.
June 24th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
#76….. I guess you’re from the future?
June 24th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
I have a 1st Gen + 2.2.1, upgraded SBSettings and my phone is now locked, when I unlock it, it locks again, I have less than half a second to see the screen, then it locks.
I’ve tried your solution to delete the files and rebooted, still locked.
I also have SSH and WiFi turned off, syslog is also OFF, is there a way to turn them ON via some settings file and reboot to bring them up so I can read my errors ?
I’ve yet to upgrade to 3.0.1 because I can’t use the phone.
Thanks.
June 24th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
ok so after i set my phone as “new phone” after restoring it. I need to install sbsettings and once the phone goes through an infinite boot loop, I need to delete the SBSettings.dylib, reboot my phone and it should work?
June 24th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
hey what if I set my phone as “new phone”, install sbsettings, and after boot loop delete the specific file and it works. let’s say I do all that and then restore my phone with my previous back up (u know, to get all my contacts, txts and everything else back)? If i were to do this, would my phone screw up again, or would it be ok?
in other words after all that can I restore my phone with my backup, or must I re-enter all my contacts AGAIN without using the backup?
June 24th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
OK! Infinite boot loop is gone! It worked!! However, now sbsettings won’t work when I swipe the top part of the screen. Anyone else having this problem?
June 25th, 2009 at 12:03 am
THIS IS THE BEST UPDATE YET!!!!!!!!!!!
with all the stuff on the status bar on the top and everything it rocks :D / SOOOOOOO much easier :’)
it took me roughly only 50 mins to unbrick my friends ipod from 3.0 :D
thank you jailbreak creators :P
June 25th, 2009 at 1:38 am
i think the best way to update the iphone apps is with icy cus you dont have to dl all those other updates first which comes up with error.
Install SBSettings 3.0-1 thru icy will prob save u lots of time.
June 25th, 2009 at 1:47 am
I had problems 2 days ago on my iPhone 3G with OS 3.0 when i open Cydia and it ask me to do 2 essential updates, and it was related to SBsettings. After the install the phone rebooted and the screen stayed always black. I dint know what was happenening and had to do a full restore and lost some data as it wasnt backed up :(
June 25th, 2009 at 9:01 am
Always completely backup your iPhone first before you restore. Your contacts will be there.
June 25th, 2009 at 11:06 am
ok dumb question but is this version safe to update now big boss? iPhone 3g 3.0 restore new phone. I have sbsettings 2.99-5
June 25th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Yes, but some other Cydia Apps still need work, but not SBSettings. It is working.
June 25th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
I cant seem to find sbsettings in icy did i need to add another source?
June 25th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
The level of practicality that SBsettings offers is really amazing. After a restore/jailbreak, I feel like I have lost the finger tips, while without it. Thanks for such a “must have” app.
June 25th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
Yes it is truly an amazing utility. If I were BB I would have charged for it, and 5 docks.
June 25th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Ok, I’m missing SBSettings since I updated to OS 3.0. I’m not getting a good sense of how stable the new improved 3.0-1 version is? The comments don’t look promising. I’m thinking I should wait a bit more but I’d like an opinion.
I’m 3G 3.0. Can anyone comment? Does it matter if I install through Cydia or ICY?
Thanks,
Kinda a NOOB
June 25th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
can someone please tell me how to fix the bin error i get when trying to install ultrasn0w in cydia…please
thanks
June 26th, 2009 at 12:31 am
Hi, Im useing ifunbox and I’m looking for the file to delete but i cant seem to find it I have been looking for an hour :/ Help please :O!!
June 26th, 2009 at 1:33 am
I´m stuck in bootlooop and the phone don´t gets recogniced by the computer…
I just see the white apple forever… anybody know a way to fix that so i can delete the files with ifunbox???
June 26th, 2009 at 8:38 am
Has anyone managed to get the ‘more’ button working after updating? I’m on 3.0fw and it freezes each time, also can’t get bossprefs past the initializing stage.
June 26th, 2009 at 11:04 am
bigboss please tell us when will you fix
CLOSE APP toggle on SBSettings becouse when you use it, SBSettings crashes and itouch and iphones go to safe mode!!!!!!!!
PLEASE FIX
and well don for everything!
you really are the best!
June 26th, 2009 at 11:09 am
please let us know about sbsettings: CLOSE APP toggle fix relese
thanks
June 26th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
I don’t know why but my iphone (fw 3.0) when i push power off in SB go to reboot.
Only after the reboot i push power off and the iphone go off.
why ??!!
June 26th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
auto lock is working on my iphone with 3.0!
June 26th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
this doesn’t work at all. I really do appreciate all your hard work, but I think it would be necessary if sbsettings was upgraded again!
thanks
June 26th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
is there any way to revert the presentation of the numeric battery indicator back to replacing the battery icon? with the current layout, programs are not recognizing to relocate their statusbar icons to adjust for the battery tweak. also, it seems redundant to have both the icon and the numeric indicator.
June 27th, 2009 at 4:53 am
Same problem, is there a release date or expectation possible?
June 27th, 2009 at 5:02 am
Is anyone getting a strange problem with trying to install SBSettings? Neither Icy nor Cydia will let me, citing some #2 problem.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:42 am
Could it be I restore back up from Firmware 2.2.1 and caused this, that I’m unable to launch BossPref, Mobile Terminal, and More Setting in SBSetting?
June 28th, 2009 at 6:02 am
Hi all
Jailbroked as new unit… all is fine now…
One little ‘glitch’: IRealSMS doesn’t reset after i’ve read my messages… so the counter keeps showing a higher number every time i receive a message… Anybody else !?
June 28th, 2009 at 6:24 am
Yeah where’s it gone?
June 28th, 2009 at 6:50 am
It’s not gone anywhere… i’ve re-installed and it’s there for me to use…
The problem is that when i look at the irealSMS icon on the springboard, it shows a number to announce a (or some) new message(s)..
That number never resets even after i’ve read the messages… it just keeps going higher and higher!
June 28th, 2009 at 8:08 am
Hi Bigboss
I miss so much the Autolock icon in SBSettings!
Previous version doesn’t work anymore for 3.0 OS!
I cant believe how much I used it!
Do you have an update for Autolock in your agenda?
I’m quite curious to know What’s the difference which causes Autolock not to work anymore!
Thanks a lot for your great work!
June 28th, 2009 at 8:13 am
you need to download unread sms fixer from cydia
June 28th, 2009 at 8:15 am
do you have sbsettings? is the enable numeric battery option on? you need to toggle it off
June 28th, 2009 at 8:16 am
i have both sbsetting & bossprefs working for me..more button is working alright
June 28th, 2009 at 8:18 am
dont delete anything or you will end up with a brick phone. just press the home & power button until it reboot and wait..
June 28th, 2009 at 8:19 am
what are you trying to delete?
June 28th, 2009 at 8:20 am
i have sbsetting 7 its working allright. install through cydia. dont use icy because there are comments that confirms if you have both you will have problems
June 28th, 2009 at 10:57 am
Hello Big Boss hello Community!
a bit too late i come back to the side here – i did already an restore – but anyway “We appreciate what you have done for us. No Problem at all!”
on the other side i would like to tell you my 2cents about your AutoLock toggle application for SBSettings.
by accident i installed Supreme Pref. 2.0 from ModMyi and in the same download session i come across the Auto Lock Toggle and installed it too.
now i have a few problems and would like to get in contact with the community and with surprise i read that the Auto Lock Toggle wont work.
IT WORKS – with Surpreme Pref. 2.0 only problem for me:
the Auto Lock Toggle Switch shows off when its actually on.
– and to my surprise – my battery finished very quick when i left the phone in the car. i check all the settings and after then i verified that the toggle is set to on i watched the phone when its will turn off to lock mode but never did.
i check again in the supreme pref – system settings – Auto Dim & Auto Lock –> all the switches there was set to off [no auto dim and auto lock]
i did verify this settings with re-spring and/or reboot minimum 3 times always the same
Auto Lock Toggle off –> means actually ON
Auto Lock Toggle on –> means actually OFF
Hope this help somebody to get his beloved application back [*wink* to Lucaze]
thank you very much – and keep up the great work.
June 28th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
When I hit “power” button on SBsettings window, and hit the “Power Off”, it just reboots the iPhone rather than showing it down !!!
I’ve iphone 3G and fw 3.0
June 28th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
What is “icy”?
June 28th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
SBSucks. This is my second infinite loop on two different things. The first time messed with docking and I thought to myself, oh well, it was free I learned my lesson.
This second time I messed with numeric battery. Wtf are you people putting out there? Honestly, I appreciate you trying to help us and hook the community up with stuff for free after you put your time and effort into it; but if you’re going to do it make sure it’s right. Don’t put buggy alpha versions on Cydia and call it done. I need my iPhone for more than play, I use it for work and rely on it. I don’t need to deal with restoring the device from buggy apps on top of my work load. BossPrefs didn’t suck this bad.
June 29th, 2009 at 2:10 am
Same here. That’s not really handy (respring needed to clear it ^^)
June 29th, 2009 at 2:13 am
Installed sbsettings 3.01 in 3G without other version sbsettings and i didnt’t see any icon in the springboard
June 29th, 2009 at 2:43 am
I agree. 100%
June 29th, 2009 at 5:52 am
hello !
as stated by installation:
there is no icon on your springboard ! ! !
just tap on the top of your screen and sbsettings will slide down.
sometimes less is more – and reading helps too !
cheers
June 29th, 2009 at 5:53 am
have a look one post below
June 29th, 2009 at 9:41 am
Actually there is a mini x sign that you can press to close the overlapping window, but it is very hard to catch (and also to see, depending on the color theme).
June 29th, 2009 at 11:21 am
I have a weird problem with SBSettings 3.0-1 on my iPhone 3G running OS 3.0: every single toggle (except wifi one) does not properly switch the function off. For instance, I would activate bluetooth and use for 30 minutes. After I am done, I open SBSettings and turn it off. The icon would turn from green to red. As soon as I close SBSettings and launch another app, the bluetooth appears to be still on. If I re-launch SBSettings, the icon is in fact green. When I tap it again, it turns red and only then the bluetooth stays off. Any ideas on how to resolve this?
June 29th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
problem for me is my computer wont recognize my iphone. I am getting so frustrated with this is there anything I can do to get my iphone to connect with my computer so i can do these steps?
June 30th, 2009 at 12:49 am
Put it in DFU mode
1. Hold home button for 5 seconds
then
2. while holding the home button, hold the power button down for 10 seconds and keep holding until the apple logo turns on
3. let go of the power button but keep holding the home button until the a picture of the itunes logo and the USB cord shows up on the screen
now u can let go of the home button and your phone is now in DFU mode. your computer will then recognize your iphone
June 30th, 2009 at 1:41 am
Every time I start the iphone, the touch keyboard doesn’t work. I have always to boot the iphoen 2 or 3 time. Than some times it misses the carrier.
The Wi-Fi and KeepAwake in the BossPref is not working. I can enable it, but nest time I open the BossPref they are off again. Wireless is not connecting automatically. Is this normal with ver. 3.0?
Thanks for great applications.
June 30th, 2009 at 4:01 am
I’m not sure I got what you mean!
You say the Autolock toggle is working for OS 3.0?
It doesn’t work for sure on my unit but maybe I’m missing something…
June 30th, 2009 at 6:45 am
SBSettings as a very nice GUI, but unfortunately it slows down the overall performance of the iPhone, from my non scientific tests I would say that an iPhone 3G with firmware 3.0 using SBSettings is 30 to 40% slower than when it is not using it.
It is a petty that you stop making big boss settings, the interface was not so nice but it did not interfere with the function of the iPhone. Think of SBSettings as Windows Vista and BigBoss setting as Windows XP, the first is more beautiful as more capabilities but works horrible the second as a bad interface but simply works.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:41 am
I have a Iphone 3G that I jb with Redsnow. I downloaded SB Setting without a problem, but when I clicked on “respring” my iphone rebooted to a blank screen. So I’m not sure what you meant by “SB settings” works now, but that feature surely does not! I am at work right now, and will not have access to Itunes until I get home. So I am stuck at work until 5:00pm with a phone with a blank screen that nobody can call me on, nor can I make a call even in the event of an emergency on the way home! Please advise me if there is any way to fix my phone without having to restore it for the 3rd time since the 3.0 update. I would really appreciate it! I’m reading comments that say to connect to WinSCP and delete a file, but I also see comments that say that will brick my phone. Please give me correct information. Thanks!
July 1st, 2009 at 8:30 am
I am using SBSettings 3.0-1 on iPhone 3G 16GB running FW 3.0 and today I encountered an small issue or maybe it is not and it is meant to work this way.
With Statusbar Date ON in SBSettings if I enable 24-Hour Time in Settings>General>Date&Time nothing happens on statusbar and time remains normal time. If I set Statusbar Date to OFF and respring then the time changes. Only way to have 24-Hour format is to set in SBSettings.
Cheers, robin
July 1st, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Hey boss! How much longer for the imobilecinema fix for new sbsettings?? Thx
July 1st, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Have you found a fix for this yet? It happens on my iphone aswell n its bugging me now
July 1st, 2009 at 6:55 pm
My safari wont add bookmarks anymore, when i click add bookmark its goes to add to home instead. Anyone else getting this? And does anyone have a fix?
July 1st, 2009 at 11:31 pm
I had to restore like 4 times.
July 2nd, 2009 at 4:50 am
There appears to be a security issue of sorts with SBSettings in that you can access it when the phone is locked from the emergency call screen. Not everything works from here but the toggles do work. This may seem like a small issue but this does allow someone to disable wifi etc and stop me locating my phone or using remote wipe..
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:10 am
When using firmware faker app, it causes the same issue for those running 3.0. Just to let everyone know!
July 2nd, 2009 at 8:24 pm
iphonebrowser doesn’t detect it! how can i delete the file without even seeing it!
I waited for like.. hours and it doesn’t detect my phone. How am i gonna delete the file?
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:26 pm
1 I am facing this problem too… power off causes a reboot instead of shut down my iPod Touch 1g 16GB (FW3 redsn0w, no ICY). Tried this out on a friend’s iPod Touch 1g and observed the same problem. Also, no matter what I try, I can’t seem to get the SSH toggle to show up in SBSettings :(
Any advise much appreciated
July 3rd, 2009 at 11:53 am
After upgrading to OS 3.0 on my iPOd Touch 1G, and installing SBSettings through Cydia, I cannot get SBSettings to start. Swiping top bar doesn’t work, tapping doesn’t work. Respring doesn’t help. Any suggestions? Thanks!
July 4th, 2009 at 6:37 am
Resolved by another restore and DO NOT RESTORE BACK UP from iTunes, now my SBsetting WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!! That includes BossPrefs & Terminal.
Won’t have the problem of crashed and back to springboard after launched. DO NOT RESTORE BACK UP from iTunes (previous firmware’s back up), use it as a NEW phone.
July 4th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
im on 3.0 with 3GS 16Gig only cydia (no icy)

July 4th, 2009 at 2:46 pm

July 4th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
Hello, I’d like to ask, if it is possible to add option to have 24h format of time in status bar after activation of “Free memory” showing in status bar. ?
July 7th, 2009 at 7:32 am
Good Day
thank you for the amazing work
I have a simple request:
is it possible to add to the SBSettings another option to show/hide the graphical battery icon. I know I can show/hide the numeric battery but what about the graphical one
thank you
keep up the good work
July 7th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
I got the same problem!
Mine is 3G on OS 3.0
Is it fixed?
July 11th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
I also have this problem. Anyone get it fixed yet?
July 16th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
This might be kicking a dead horse but,
I own a iPhone 3GS 32GB 3.0, Jailbroken with purplera1n, and I’m having some minor bugs.
Fist, when I install SBSettings when I “Restart SpringBoard” it just has the waiting symbol for ever. So I manually force power it off. It seems to work fine after it restarts though.
Second, When ever my iPhone is plugged into my computer,charger, any thing that I can plug into after a bit of using it the SpringBoard goes into safe mode. Again, its only happened to me when I’m plugged into something.
Can you please fix these bugs?
thank you.
July 23rd, 2009 at 2:56 am
Just updated to 3.0 on my iPod touch 2g. The fIrst thing that I downloaded was sbsettings. It works, but when I click more it shows the screen for about half a second and then crashes back to home. Me need help?
July 25th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
The problem still exists!!
I have ipod touch 2g, with 3.0 and just installed right after jailbreaking got the loop, rebooted a few times and now i dont know if it installed properly or not..
July 27th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
I wonder if anyone is having the problem that when you hit the power off button in SBSettings it will restart the phone instead. I wonder if anyone knows how to fix this, I am on SBsettings version 3.0.4
August 5th, 2009 at 7:14 am
same problem with iphone firmware 3.0.1, clicked respring and it froze
force shutdown and restarted but got endless loop

Yes, i just rebooted using sbsetting reboot funchion thinking the problem is fixed. Now having the same symptoms you are having.
Latest sbsetting iPT 3.0. Terribly annoying and if I have to reinstall the 3rd time because of this sbetting reboot problem, I guess apple has a point about using such apps and it’s reliability.

I have a 3gs unlocked with redsn0w-win_0.8 with firmware iPhone2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore
upon completion. I load up Cydia and install SBsettings. it either immediately following the install it resorts to the loop problem or after 1 reboot it resorts to the same problem. I need help I can’t use SBsettings on my 3gs Why?

I also deleted the SBSettings.dylib and nothing happened. My phone just sits on the apple screen and freeze’s the loading circle.
I have to restore and do a jailbreak for my phone to work again. I can’t use SBsettings & I want to use SBsettings on my 3gs. Should I go up to 3.0.1???

Also having the same problem as above. I deleted ‘the right file’ and stuck on apple logo. its actually giving me the wait symbol in the middle.

Update.. deleted the rest of sbsettings from my iphone via iphonebrowser. No luck this is actually ridiculous its been over 2 months now this program is terrible to say the least. I warn all 3g users not to download or press “respring”.

I agree with Jaime I am having the same problem with the 3gs, if there is not solution then there is no point in downloading this application for 3g or 3gs. I have both 3g and 3gs and the problem still persist

Hi Bigg Boss,
I have a serious issue with my sbsettings, all the things like phone, more, wi-fi seems to work, but power off and reboot functions are not working on my iPhone 3G 3.1.2, jb’ed. I press the reboot tab n it goes back to home screen, similar is the power tab.
Please find a solution for this poor fellow

Hey Boss,
My experience:
-Used Cydia to download and install SBSettings.
-On completion prompted to respring, resprung.
-rebooted IPhone
-Plug in ITunes screen.
Would advise people to backup iPhone before install.
Please fix so i can use this extremely useful tool again.
Best regards,
Mat.

An update to my issues which i have now RESOLVED (see post 151), turns out after some testing i got SBSettings to work.
-Restored to factory after boot loop issue
-did not restore from my iphone backup
-installed blackra!n
-installed cydia
-installed SBSettings and it now works.
Something in my Iphone backup image must be causing problems with SBSettings, now i will have to extract my address book from the old image and transfer to the new image, but all worth it so i could get BSettings working.
Good luck.
