Chronic Dev Blog: The “Russian” Method

  • Jincos · 9 months ago
    I totally agree. That Russian team just wanted to try to get e-fame, even though tons of people are going to be pissed when they finally figure out they can't use their phone because of the baseband update. I think the only people who should even attempt to upgrade to 3.0 are those on an iPod Touch 1G & 2G that can wait for a proper jailbreak and those on an iPhone that can actually upgrade without it messing up their phone (and can also wait for a proper jailbreak). I kept my iPod Touch 1G on 2.2.1 and put my iPod Touch 2G on 3.0b2(I have a Dev account), I can wait for the jailbreak for my 2G. Thanks for the info, very much informative and very straight to the point.

    I'm just going to wait for the summer, thanks for the update Chronic Dev
  • BeauGiles · 9 months ago
    And most of the good shit doesn't work anyway. So I downgraded back to 2.2.1 :)
  • HoZy · 9 months ago
    Chronic, Theres an error in what you said

    "Unlock: You will need to upgrade to the 3.0 firmware before you use their method, meaning you will get the 4.22 baseband and you will not be able to use it with your carrier if you are unlocked, nor can you downgrade to an exploitable firmware."

    It should be you will not be able to use it with your carrier if you are "locked" Not unlocked bud.

    Cheerz
    Hozy

    ah, sorry, that was phrased wrong. I meant, if you are using an unsupported carrier, and were "unlocked" with yellowsn0w, not officially unlocked. I will fix that, thanks :)

    hmm... the "russians" install icy instead of cydia. I noticed that with 1.1, icy now supports more info and screenshots. Is there really any reason to stick with cydia, except for the guilt of stealing ad revenue? These repos hopefully don't go broke!
  • Kleemajo · 8 months ago
    Well the repos are probably going to start blocking icy soon one way or another if it doesn't support ads because they will lose all their revenue. Although icy is pretty nice, I'm going to stick with Cydia because it is good and stable and I'm still supporting the repos to some extent. If icy supported ads though...

    Does anybody know how to get the walking ants on your iPod screen?
  • callmebam · 8 months ago
    I'm pretty sure that was just for 1.x firmwares...I don't think it ever got ported to 2.x.
  • callmebam · 8 months ago
    I need some help. Again. The repairman hasn't finished with my PC yet, and my tethered iPod touch 2G turned off. I'm using my mom's MacBook Pro at the moment, and I was wondering if anyone knew either A) How to boot up my iPod or B) How to go from tethered to untethered without a full restore. Both of these I would need Mac directions for, of course. Any help would be appreciated.
  • ITheI2gIFamilyI · 8 months ago
    here if you want an untethered ipod touch 2g i will make a package for you so it is all there to jailbreak, untethered firmware, iterm or terminal, and you need to download libusb from a link i will put up one moment please
  • callmebam · 8 months ago
    No, don't worry about it. Thank you though=)
  • ITheI2gIFamilyI · 8 months ago
    you sure? it includes everything you need and directions
  • callmebam · 8 months ago
    Yeah I'll be fine. The repair man keeps moving back the date when it'll be done, but during this week it should be back. Once it's up and running, I'm just fine from that point on. Thanks again, though.
  • ITheI2gIFamilyI · 8 months ago
    What I didthe second time is that I wrote down and took screenshots of all of my cydia items. Anyways package is almost finished. You should stick with your mac. It's way faster and better anyways I just use my MacBook air. Well my dads
  • KingJJM · 8 months ago
    9th, OH YEAH. And CallMeBam just look on ipodtouchfans.com they have tons of tuts.
  • callmebam · 8 months ago
    Is there one for Macs for going from tethered to untethered without a full restore?
  • ITheI2gIFamilyI · 8 months ago
    Well I was able to because I used appbackup off of cydia buy that only works when you restore with the same firmware. But other wise it is impossible but appbackup hardly works I only got like five cydia installed things back. Right now I am uploading thebpackagebto a site then I will give you the link and it hasbthe directions in it. But to save yourself time right now I formgit to putnlibusb into it so look up libusb on google and install it.
  • callmebam · 8 months ago
    You mean AptBackup? I use that. AppBackup is just for Apple apps. AptBackup is for Cydia. I know about all of that. I think I'm just going to play it safe and wait until my PC is fixed.
  • Cico187 · 8 months ago
    hmmm.....This should be a good challenge for Chrinic-dev and the Iphone-dev team ; )

    all I have to say is HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!
  • Anis · 8 months ago
    Callmebam, try doing a nor-only jalbreak. It does not delete any of your data, but it invovles a lot of typing commands (atleast in windows) so if you mess up, then you are screwed, since you are writing to the nor. Just try to find a mac tutorial on google.there is no need to resore before you jalbreak.
  • Anis · 8 months ago
    Tutorial for nor flash. You must be on tethered or semi tetherd already for this. http://74.125.95.132/search?oe=UTF-8&q=cache%3A...
  • callmebam · 8 months ago
    That link doesn't work. But I'll look into it. Thanks=)
  • ITheI2gIFamilyI · 8 months ago
    my question is i dont understand anything about it but, why don't they release the 2.2.1 untethered jailbreak in quickpwn? or are they waiting until the 3.0 firmware to arrive? i untethered mine myself using a mac, i will help you callmebam, but for the sake of all of the tards who cant do it without quickpwn, why not release?
  • callmebam · 8 months ago
    Did you do a full restore untethered? Or not?
  • ITheI2gIFamilyI · 8 months ago
    Alright

    Can Macs run .exe's?
  • ? · 8 months ago
    no. i've even tried to change it to a dmg but it didn't work
  • callmebam · 8 months ago
    Yeah that's for Windows. Because it has a command prompt and Macs use Terminal. I think=\ I don't know. Professional advise, chronic?
