is there anyway to restore without itunes?

[Simon]

No, there isn't.

No, there isn't.

There are a couple third-party programs like on Linux which can restore a device without iTunes. So, yes, there is a way to restore without iTunes.

Only thing I have ever heard od restoring without iTunes is something Semaphore was working on (creator of tiny umbrella) and I think p0sixninja may have dabbled in it as well. Neither have produced any working solutions as far as I know though.

You have proof of these "third-party" claims you mention?

[ssemwal]

[ssemwal]

I'm not so sure why you'd want to not use iTunes though. Isnt it the safest to use what the device is made to work with, which is iTunes?

I don't know maybe it's just me but if I were restoring my phone I'd use the tool that's designed to work well with my phone (even tho Apple likes to play games and not allow downgrading )

its just so much easier without itunes to restore

kind of hard to know that if you have never done it

[ssemwal]

r u kidding ive had to restore like 20 times with itunes its just such a long process lol

[j3st3r]

i'm not saying you haven't restored, you said it so much easier without itunes and i said how would know since you have never done it without itunes, it shouldn't take long either, i can restore in less than 10 minutes (of course putting all the tweaks and such back on take considerably longer)

Without iTunes, I will be so lost in regards to restoring firmware
