How to remove Rick Astley from 3.1.3??

**Frostywinter** · 02-08-2010, 02:09 AM

Hi All

My daughter accidently updated her Jailbroken 3GS to 3.1.3 (so she lost her jailbreak of course

)
Anyhow she now has the Rick Astley lockscreen wallpaper

I have found how to remove this from a Jailbroken Iphone but no how if not Jailbroken?

Anyone got any ideas?

(I tried a clean restore but he came back - perhaps that was from her backup sync??)

Tks

Frosty

this is a worm, (a sort of virus) im not sure how she has gotten it? but i think a DFU restore may remove it, or you will have to jailbreak your phone again (restore to 3.1.2 using cydia) then browser your root parition and find the worm (google it)

sorry i cant help more im at college

i`m with metaljay on that one... i have read about this rick astley virus lol....
i think an australian guy pushes it along hacking into ur phone while u ssh stuff or something. after fixing ur problem by doing a DFU restore tell ur daughter to turn ssh off when she is not using it. i think a lot of people just keep it on the whole time which allows guys like this dude to f**k around inside ur phone and placing that virus. u also can be on the safe side by changing the passwords in ur ssh program but u would have to google it on how to..
