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.
