Sir!
Gentlemen, I am confused. I jailbroke with jailbreakme.com months ago. Does any of this limera1n and greenpo1son drama mean anything to me?

I'd do a final check to make sure that all of your App Store apps and Cydia Store apps are up-to-date, run AppBackup and AptBackup (order of these two doesn't matter), sync with iTunes on your computer to back everything up (or at least right click on your iDevice and select the backup option), then proceed with the 4.1 update, the jailbreak, and the iTunes restoration (right click on your iDevice again).
In the case of AppBackup and AptBackup, you'll obviously need to be jailbroken again, and re-download these two apps from Cydia. But once you run them and elect to restore, they should facilitate the reinstallation of the rest of your unofficial apps.
I'm still kind of stuck on the updating to 4.1 step, so I can't really provide much insight beyond that. Should be fairly self-evident, though.

Alright fuck this, I'm just going to wait for the Mac version, this is too much of a hassle.
My phone is on 4.1 now, and for some reason some of my apps don't work (mostly games-Words with Friend, among others). And I guess that means I can't go back to my 4.0.1 version of my phone.
Blugh, release the mac version already.

I deleted statusnotifier and the restart springboard option came up and seemed to solve things. I was getting nervous.

Tried to restore my jailbroken iPhone 3GS (4.0.1) and iTunes hung up during the Update. Right after that I couldn't connect to Apple's software update servers. Had to touch my hosts file and edit that. Had to delete iTunes 10 and some device support packages after that and got the update to work finally. The device itself is running 4.1 without problems now.
As for now, I tried to jailbreak my iPhone twice now, but I get no limera1n icon on the screen. Everything looks just like before I run the jailbreak. So are there any solutions for this problem yet?

I believe it's the new one. I tried using Fuzzyband to downgrade it and said it wasn't supported. I'm a total noob at this stuff so I've just been keeping my eye out for every little bit of news that comes out.
Yea I can jailbreak, but I rely on an unlock so I'll just continue to wait.

absolutely. I revised and updated it a bit to support the whole "bitten" nature of BiteSMS.jts said:
Set 1 (transparent bite)
Set 2 (2-tone bite)
Create 3 copies of the small image and name them:
> bite-menu.png
> Icon-Small.png
> Lock-screen-QR.png
Rename the large image
> icon.png
place the 4 total files in the /Applications/biteSMS.app folder and profit.
status? I can't even find that 3024 error to even find out what that means.Mejilan said:I've tried. It reverts immediately back to recovery mode every time.
1.) Consider plugging the USB cable into a different port.
2.) Also, are you running the most recent version of iTunes? If not, update it.
3.) Try putting the phone into DFU mode and running the restore from DFU mode instead of recovery mode.
4.) We may need to manually edit the HOSTS file. Not difficult at all. Just something we may want to do here.
Sorry I stepped out to a movie with the lady. I feel bad about being unavailable now.

Ugh, I feel so neutered right now with regular ol' 4.1 on my phone and no jailbreak apps. The mac version can't come soon enough. I wish he'd release it already. Maybe tomorrow, considering he was considering Monday in the first place.

reboot? (I know that's a "duh" answer, but it fixes many a problem)
no friends with Windows on their computers? it'll only take about 30 seconds and won't install on their computer.DeathbyVolcano said:

Well at the moment, no, but tomorrow I'll probably be around a few friends to be able to do so. I just wish people would release mac/windows versions together :'(

i downloaded a tron theme!
OMG i fucking love SBSettings. I hated having to go through 4 menus to turn stuff off.
Im happy so many of themes are free, but sad to learn during my "Best Cydia apps" searches, that the best apps and stuff still require purchasing, though i know you can steal those too, but i would prefer not to do that. How does setting up an account on cydia work?

It's kind of fucking annoying me now. I'm trying to downgrade back to 4.0.1 now, but I just noticed how Cydia is getting hammered atm, so unlucky me can't contact the server for shsh blobs. So all I can do is wait and try to downgrade tomorrow. I may be lucky then...Mailenstein said:

Just a heads-up though, latest biteSMS version includes retina display icons which have the same name as the regular ones, only with "@2x" at the end. For example the main icon for retina display devices is called icon@2x.png, etc

The Bitesms icon certainly isn't for everybody, but yeah, it's nothing an SSH session can't fix.
SBSettings is truly awesome, I was running stock 4.1 for about 3 weeks because my 3.1.3 install crashed and I thought I'd upgrade and fiddle with Game Center for a bit, having to dig into the Settings menu just to adjust brightness settings was doing my fucking head in

I am soooo happy i did this. I love my phone moreso now and i didnt think that was possible.
My only complaint so far is that i cant seem to get a keyboard theme to work with my current overall theme that doesnt supply one. Thats so minor compared to the good though it seems silly to mention it. Still, anyone know a fix?

would probably take some SSH'ing, which you may or may not be comfortable with at this point.Gamer @ Heart said:
the outline of how I think you'd do it:
1.) find a theme with a keyboard you like (or hell, just a keyboard built-in)
2.) SSH into the phone and proceed to the folder that's holding the theme. find the keyboard theme content. observe its placement in the main theme folder along with the file names.
3.) If the keyboard is one you want to add to your preferred theme, try to copy the keyboard stuff to the folder for your preferred theme and respring.
4.) If you just want to change the colors of the PNG's, I'd probably recommend your favorite image editing program. make the color changes and overwrite the originals.

6 FUCKING HOURS I've been pounding away at this. Can't tell you how much my head is throbbing right now. I Googled up everything I could think of. I discovered the differences between vanilla recovery and DFU modes. All that got me was a new set of error codes. I can't even begin to tell you. I got almost every iTunes restore error under the sun. 1164, 2000, 3012, 3024. I tried unplugging all of my USB devices save for mouse, keyboard, and iPhone. I tried switching USB ports. I disabled every single non-essential app and service on my computer. I screwed around with my Windows hosts file. I even fucking tried tunneling through via a VPN just to make sure that it wasn't my network or ISP that was borking my restore verifications and whatnot.
I just figured it out.
God damn mother fucking WiFi Sync. A Windows component to the Cydia WiFi Sync app that grants me over the air wireless syncing and backing up between my iPhone and iTunes. (And no, I wasn't stupid enough to try the restore over the air. That's known not to work for obvious reasons).
But it was god damn WiFi Sync that was ruining me. Just having it installed killed all of my efforts. It patches the Apple Device Manager in some fashion to allow OTA syncs, and apparently that patch doesn't play nicely with TinyUmbrella.
I've been literally pounding away at this since well before my last post in this thread, over 6 hours now.
But finally, after killing WiFi Sync, rebooting, and trying one last desperate restore (with TinyUmbrella running!) I finally got that magical error code I've been waiting for. 1004.
4.1 is successfully installed. Baseband is confirmed to be the original iPhone 4, 4.0 baseband. iTunes is now in the process of restoring my apps, content, contacts, and settings. And once this rubbish is done, I'll finally try out limera1n and get my Cydia apps back.
Motherfucking WiFi Sync. Who knew that such an awesome app could cause such havoc on a mostly natural iPhone update process? *sighs*

I'd buy you a cold drink if I could.
Haha, I'm just happy that the worst is over. The limera1n process should go smoothly now.
I just wish it weren't so late in the night. I've got like 10 gigs of apps copying over now, and all I want to do is crawl into bed. But I really need to get my phone up and running before starting a new work week.
I partially bricked and recovered my PSP.
I partially bricked and recovered my Wii.
I partially bricked and recovered my DS.
But none of those road bumps were nearly as bad as this.
WIFI SYNC! YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!
Now to reinstall you. I can't say no to you.

son of a bitch. I just noticed I have Wifi Sync installed on my MBP. I bet that was why I could never get past that 95% on iTunes as well.
I wasted a lot of hours on that as well. fuck me. oh well. Now I know and can advice others who will inevitably have the same problem.
