I'm effen lost like Jack Shepard! I did the purplera1n thing too, do I still have to do the stuff in the dev team post? It didn't make a lot of sense to me. I thought i was pretty nifty with computers until a minute ago, LOL

4.Do a restore in DFU mode, and a regular restore
5.The files will appear in the tmp directory during the restore ex. PersonalizedRestoreBundle.************
6. Copy the folder/file in tmp and paste it into a new folder on your desktop or anywhere you can safely keep it.

5.The files will appear in the tmp directory during the restore ex. PersonalizedRestoreBundle. Can you please tell me how to see the tmp directory or access it....step by step. Thanks

It is highly recommended that you do this as soon as possible. Especially before 3.1 comes out.

I'm on a Mac and have a question.

I found the \tmp folder and it has a lot of crap in it. Can I delete the folder (or at least the contents) before doing this, or is everything in there currently needed? I know this might sound kind of dumb, but I'm sure lots of people want as much clarification as possible also, haha.

It is safe to delete, these are temporary files that get deleted anyway

Ok, normal restore in process and I got the IBEC file.

Now waiting for this to finish and go for the IBSS.

Now, Who was saying apple isn't trying to make jailbreaking harder?

kingkong · #**1510** 07-01-2009, 07:10 PM

doing this gets you a bypass to phone no more activation screen!

iphoneman123 · #**1511** 07-01-2009, 07:13 PM

Thanks bro...one more thing, so while it's restoring how do i know when to copy the tmp file? And i don't erase the other files in the tmp folder right, all I have to do is copy the folder during the restore right...Do i wait 1 min during the restore or middle...when....Thanks again bro... Sorry for the noob question...

Safe to deleted contents of tmp
The files will remain in the folder during the restore process
Just copy them into a new folder.

Anyone done the DFU and confirm they found a IBSS? I had another IBEC file, but didn't see a IBSS.

Ath_x64 · #**1514** 07-01-2009, 07:16 PM

Ok I have the iBEC but where is the iBSS?
I just grabbed all four folders so I have everything but cannot locate the iBSS

Is the iBSS called iBoot??

weazle23 · #**1515** 07-01-2009, 07:17 PM

so has stealth or any of the dev teams given out a timeline of when the jailbreak will be released? not trying to sound like a jerk just wondering.
