current version 3.1.3 *Spirit JB, reinstalling the same firmware and restoring as much of the personal/applications settings.
Restarting from scratch
¿ Why, because the iPhone went unstable, freezing touch-input (so no input at all) totaly at random
I reinstalled the iphone and after I restored the ‘cydia’ apps with Aptbackup the problem occurred again.
Second time I reinstalled and restored the applications by hand and did not restore the settings yet.
Easy commands
Restart springboard from shell
# launchctl stop com.apple.SpringBoard
# launchctl start com.apple.SpringBoard
The steps
- Backup your stuff
- I used Aptbackup, Appbackup and iTunes
- rsynced the whole iPhone to a Linux machine.
- Tiny Umbrella and Cydia to backup shsh signatures
- Clean firmware install
- TinyUmbrella as an shsh server to restore the current firmware.
- Start iTunes and <shift>-click [Restore]
(error code 3014, reboot your machine first. That solved it for me)- iTunes Restore the backup
- iTunes Sync your iPhone
- Jailbreaked the iPhone
- After this restore I used the Jailbreakme.com it supports these devices
- Jailbreak after
- Jailbreak after, do you MUST
- # passwd root
- # passwd mobile
- Results, what do we get out of this.
- Cleaned-up iPhone system, we all like to play like gadget 😉
- I did not miss any settings from my applications, network, bleutooth-links, mail and wi-fi as of yet and hopefully nothing at all.
- The restore of cydia applications I did manually because of the freezing touch interface.
- Remember to rename your device different, hopefully not overwriting the backup before the ‘Restart from scratch’
- Whats next
- Try restore to an previous version than the current iOS
- Update and jailbreak to a newer version
