**celeron** · 01-23-2011, 12:19 PM

Hi, if i hit the restore button on itunes will the itouch get updated? Im on 4.1 and i have a ipod touch 4g

**Cowboy** · 01-23-2011, 12:20 PM

Yes it will update have you used tinyumbrella to save you shsh blobs?

**celeron** · 01-23-2011, 12:29 PM

No Ive never used tinyumbrella.

What is this and what does it does?

Sry for being a total noob lol

**Cowboy** · 01-23-2011, 12:31 PM

download tiny umbrella here
Then click save shsh
And let me know what you get

**Stray** · 01-23-2011, 12:32 PM

Tinyumbrella saves your shsh's and also allows you to see what shsh's you have. Also if you have cydia you can check and see if at the top of the homepage it has shsh:4.1 in green

**celeron** · 01-23-2011, 12:56 PM

Ok thanks to both downloading tinyumbrella and will report back.

This is what I got http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/8...yumbrealla.jpg

You don't have SHSHs for anything below 4.2.1 so that's the only thing you can restore to

**celeron** · 01-23-2011, 01:10 PM

Oh that stinks

. Well can you help me with my real problem? The reason Im trying to restore?

**i.Annie** · 01-23-2011, 01:15 PM

What's the real problem? I didn't catch that part...I don't think you said why you want to restore

**celeron** · 01-23-2011, 01:21 PM

The real problem is cydia. I wanted to restore to jailbreak my itouch again and reinstall cydia. Because I dont know why it doesnt let me download anything. It gives a hash sum mismatch error and/or sometimes it says something about bigboss even when the app im trying to download is from another repo/source like modmyi or saurik.

One thing I noticed is that when I select an utility, game, etc. It says it installs sbrotator and "X" app

Please help me this have been driving me nuts for days.

**i.Annie** · 01-23-2011, 01:28 PM

Sounds like a connection error or a collision of apps. Hard to diagnose really...

I'm no expert on Cydia fixes unfortunately. All I do whenever I run into Cydia issues is restore. But it seems you can't without going to 4.2.1...

**Stray** · 01-23-2011, 01:33 PM

If you have ssh installed you can go into the sources and delete the sources giving you errors and then see if that fixes the problem.

**celeron** · 01-23-2011, 01:37 PM

Oh

Are there any guides here that explain to fix this?

Also, I heard that I needed to get the .ipsw I wanted to restore at felixbruns.de

And then click restore on itunes.

Is this true?

@STRAYunINFIDEL: I cant everytime i try to delete or install somehthing in cydia it comes up with the same error

**i.Annie** · 01-23-2011, 01:39 PM

Lol I think it would be a bad idea to delete bigboss anyway.

You need SHSHs to restore to any firmware besides 4.2.1 so regardless of if you download the firmware at Felixbruns.de you can't do it.

**celeron** · 01-23-2011, 01:49 PM

So, my only option to fix this is hitting the nasty and evil restore button right?

**i.Annie** · 01-23-2011, 01:51 PM

I feel like it's something that is conflicting with each other.

I had that happen twice. Once I had to restore and once I fixed it. But I don't know if you have the same problem.

I SSH'd in and deleted the conflictor since I knew what was causing the problem.

Maybe you should consider what is causing it maybe...

**celeron** · 01-23-2011, 02:14 PM

So maybe if I delete and reinstall the bigboss repo it will fix everything?

**i.Annie** · 01-23-2011, 02:24 PM

I don't think the repo is causing the problem. I'm saying it might be something you downloaded before this happened. Deleting a repo that was pre-installed isn't safe, you risk losing the repo until you restore and rejb. Somebody deleted MMi and couldn't get it back on.

**celeron** · 01-23-2011, 02:27 PM

But even if i know what's causing this i cant uninstall it because of the stupid bigboss error.

**i.Annie** · 01-23-2011, 02:29 PM

Bigboss isn't causing it...it's erroring out because something is causing it to error out

If you knew what the cause is you would be able to SSH in and delete it, you wouldn't be uninstalling via Cydia
