hehehe, just pull windows break as well. seems many people having issues with it.

i figured the panic button would be mashed after last nights devteam vid and this would be released.

Lucky for some of us, Geo's exploit used here isnt the same as dev's.
I think i wait for dev's release.

Grats to the guys that managed to partially break.

worked great on WinXP SP3 with Itunes running. No problems so far but winterboard has so if you use that I'd wait. I never did as I prefer my own mods

Is there a way to change the background without it? I have my carrier/battery/icons/dock customized, but that's what is eluding me right now.

Also, anyone have success with VWallpaper?

Worked great so far. Going to work now. Do some field testing with it while at work. hope nothing goes wrong.

ok, im on xp and its working it says done, wait for reboot. On my phone it just shows the pic of the guy in the purple rain leaning on the iphone. Its been like this for 5 minutes. Do i just keep waiting?

**pyrotek** · 07-03-2009, 11:29 AM

South, mine sat there for a bit and then rebooted.

**unlvsac** · 07-03-2009, 11:30 AM

I have it into the downloading cydia from Freeze stage now, half way done...

**johnrs** · 07-03-2009, 11:31 AM

I am on Vista SP1 and I could not get passed the itunes picture in the iphone with purplera1n saying "done. waiting for iphone" or something like that.

How long does the itune piture stay on your phone before it changes?

Had the same over here, had to recover phone in DFU mode....then tried an XP PC which worked no probs.
Did not try to use the XP compatibility switch in Vista, this could do the trick!

Alright, i havnt posted here in awhile. Though't id put in my input. Ok i have a macbook, so i went to my desktop running Vista 32bit. ran the program hit the make it rain button. It put my iPhone into restore / recovery mode. then nothing happened. So like people suggested in this thread i kept Re-Clicking make it rain. Did nothing. So i boot up my MacBook Pro into Bootcamp Which is running Windows XP Media Center Edition. And installed iTunes 8.2. Ran the program hit the button and it worked in seconds. Now here is the thing. When the phone reboots and you click on the newley installed "Freeze" app. It gives you the option to install Cydia. Click it. Once its done doing what it has to do restart the iPhone. Then the Cydia App appears. Then from there just do what you gotta do. Hope this helps. Cheers!

**pyrotek** · 07-03-2009, 11:44 AM

Hmm, seems like DYLD needs an update. Alot of code signature warnings.

SSH complains about it a bit but still works.
