This is FANTASTIC news, really great.

I cannot wait to test it - but of course I can't as I'm on 4.2.1 and cannot do untethered jailbreak yet!

Someone who's jailbroken, fancy giving it a shot? Will be so much easier than converting files now - just download, play, delete. WICKED.

iTunes updated me - long story but in short i got my iphone replaced and I had to upgrade to the latest version in order to apply my backup Sad

I wasn't aware I can downgrade can I? I thought once upgraded the baseband was upgraded and I wouldn't be able to jailbreak?

The whole problem is it wouldn't let me apply my phone backup (which was made on 4.2.1) to an earlier fm! Sad

Thanks for the info!
Trying this out now Smile I don't quite like VLC on the Iphone, it does not play smoothly...

But how do you copy your files over to the Iphone? Will XBMC integrate into Itunes, so you can just copy them over?

Edit: Download fails ATM. Servers are probably getting raped by now. Will try later again.

As far as I can see, the backups overwrite themselves with each backup. Thus the backups I took while on 4.1 were overwritten with the 4.2.1 backup. Now I am on 4.2.1, if I downgrade to 4.1 - then my backup file won't work and cannot be applied to 4.1 - thus I am shit out of luck Sad

Sucks as I currently commute 60 mins by train each day and would love to be able to use XBMC instead of converting all my videos...

but what's in the backup? your contacts? can't you sync that with outlook or someshit? Pictures? Save them all through itunes. Music? Sync again. Downgrade and 'restore' your info!

@Horror you need to save your .SHSH files with TinyUmbrella, these don't get deleted (or you can save them on your PC to be sure.


And the fuck is wrong with that Cydia source? Already 3 failed installs because it's downloading so slow the phone goes to sleep and retarded Cydia doesn't support multitasking/background work. Why don't people learn how to program? Supporting background working and multitasking is a matter of minutes to integrate into an existing code. Rolling Eyes

e-mail them and tell them. Cydia has become a mess. It's only good now for cracked apps. Nothing else. I only click on it when installous needs to be updated.

I will do a bit of research - but do these files contain all of the information such as what apps you have, the folders / layout of your home screen, notes, contacts, etc?

Can I grab these even though i'm already on 4.2.1, and then use them to restore when back on 4.1?

SHSH are just keys for your boot loader to be able to boot with a certain OS version. So I don't think you'll be able to downgrade to 4.1 if you don't have your 4.1 SHSH files backed up. But you should back your 4.2.1 SHSH files for the future, as well as for future jailbreaks.

Damn it, no XBMC for me then... unless I can be bothered to sort all my folders etc accounts etc out again - which I cannot Smile

untethered 4.2.1 jailbreak would be awesome - wheres the best place to check to find latest news on that?

I agree about Cydia being a pile of shit. That app is just so unresponsive and buggy.
You always have to wait for one screen to load completely until you can change tabs. And I entered a wrong source one time, and now every time it checks sources, I get an error message how the source is wrong, but I can't fucking remove it because it is not there!
They should seriously update that pice of crap, that can't take more than an hour or so...

What is this? Is it anything to do with Xbox? lol. The only XBMC I know of it Xbox Media Centre. But this is for iPhone? I use AVPlayer which is great for playing media for me so why would I want XBMC?


May the NFOrce be with you always.

No, now it's "XBMC" Laughing
Active development is for Linux and Windows, and I think the Mac version is also ripe enough for prime time.

Damnit people, you need to stop being afraid of a tethered jailbreak, it's so simple and easy, and it really isn't that annoying, lol.

JUST DO IT.

Seriously though, why WOULDN'T you? In the ABSOLUTE WORST CASE you restart your phone and you're not near a computer, OH NO!@~!@!#$@ So you are stuck with some apps you can't use for awhile until you get back to your comp, BIG DEAL!

TETHER THAT SHIT!

Is it just me or is XBMC for the Iphone quite a mess? It seems like they didn't port it properly... The menus are REALLS small, nearly impossible to change settings because of the small icons. And display resolution is locked at 480*320 WTF.
Didn't try playing files yet, will try now.
