How to have a blazing fast jailbroken phone

[rommey]

My phone is already jailbroken but I can't sync. It's greyed out. Do you think if I use your jailbreaking method my phone will be able to sync? Btw,what is SSH? Thanks!

I am confused on a few points you mention in your paragraph about the advanced options under the info tab. What do you mean by "check off"??? Should they be selected or not? What do you mean the info will be erased from my computer and will sync normally? Can you please rephrase that section of your post to read more clearly?

I'm using XP so I just loaded a downloaded CFW on my 3G using Restore Mode (error 1600 in DFU) and I'm wondering: If someone used Pwnage and made a non-jailbroken official 2.2.1 with the baseband preserved, could I update with that and then QuickPwn for better results (faster speeds)? In official and QuickPwned FWs I haven't noticed a speed problem yet, but I just loaded this Pwnage firmware and don't want it to be as unbearably slow as my last phone or my brother's (even before they were jailbroken!).

hey i wanna do this but may i know if:

my cydia apps will be gone after this?
my contacts?
my sms?
my calendar events?

will any of this be gone after doing this?

[ALL DAY]

my cydia apps will be gone after this? Yes.
my contacts? Yes, but they can be replaced via SSH.
my sms? Yes, but they can be replaced via SSH.
my calendar events? Yes, but they can be replaced via SSH.

You can always reinstall all of your stock stuff through SSH as the guide says, and Cydia apps can always be re-downloaded, of course.

This method actually worked i was going blazing fast on my iphone. But i think i need a replacement battery because for the past two weeks my phone has been dying within about 5 hours of ipod time and 2 hours of straight safariiiiiiing!!!!!

Completely normal. I've replaced my 3G twice and my twin brother has one, so we should know. Apple should know that an integrated battery is a sin against the consumers.

There's gotta be an easier way to backup and restore cydia apps.

I had a long post here but Apple STILL hasn't fixed the problem with the sticking backspace function.

i wonder if i will lose my game saves by doing this?

What's a good ssh client to use for this method instead of just the command line ssh? I used transmit and it transferred but gave me some bogus error about not supporting something or another... would cyberduck be a better choice for ssh'ing into the phone correctly to movie files?

I have a jailbroken AT&T 2G 8GB iphone...

I connected with openSSH & WinSCP but i dont see a "/Users/Library" folder.

Once connected by default im in "private/var/root" folder which contains the library & media folders. Is this the libray folder im supposed to copy to my pc (1.8MB in size)?

OK I figured it out... go to root folder then access /User/Library & copy contents... I'm coming along

If you want to keep all your game saves you need to download appbackup from cydia. open it and backup everything.

Then SSH into your phone and go to /Applications and copy the appbackup folder to your harddrive.


Restore

Download appbackup from cydia after you sync all your apps back.
Open appbackup and run a backup (even though it's of nothing)
Copy the appbackup you saved on your comp over the one on the phone.
Run appbackup on the phone and this time press restore.

Boom, all your saves and app settings are back! I've done this a few times and works great.



now all we need is that desktop installer so we can backup our cydia apps too. That would be great.

well i did all of the setps i copied the user library folder to my destop and i did a fresh restore used quickpwn to jailbreak, installed ssh open and ssh auto. and its connected to my pc but 1 problem, i don't know how to do these last steps

6- Connect through open SSH to your phone and navigate to your /Users/Library folder.

7- Replace the mail, sms, safari, weather, addressbook, and call history folders with the one from your computer.

Yeah, Cyberduck is your best bet.

i have it connected to the computer with ssh but i don't know how to navigate and replace the library folder from my desktop that i copied from the iphone before restoring it, back in to the fresh restored phone.

[ALL DAY]

Just go into /Users/Library and copy/paste each one individually.

[haytam1il]

what about step 6 how do i navigate it?

[ALL DAY]

Press the up arrow or whatever in SSH to take you to the lowest level of organization. From there, you should see "/Users" among a few other folders, click on that, the click on "/Library" and you should see all the things you need to replace.
