How to get push working...without restore..EASY!!

[young e]

Well the dev-team has release a method to get push workin without having to restore and re-do redsnow and ultrasn0w

Push Solution Test Steps
------------------------

A. Get Legit Keychain Data:
*You Must Perform These Steps On A Properly Activated Device (iphone or ipod touch) with at least one working push app*

1.Unzip the downloaded zip file and copy the binary 'nimble' using SSH into /private/var/Keychains and set permission to 0755

2. Make sure the file "keychain-2.db" is in /private/var/Keychains and run nimble. You will see 4 files being created:
- youtube-cert.bin
- youtube-key.bin
- push-cert.bin
- push-key.bin

3. Copy these 4 files into the corresponding folder on your hactivated device.



B. Testing Push:
*You Must Perform These Steps On Your Hacktivated Device*

1.Unzip the downloaded zip file and copy the following files using SSH into /private/var/Keychains and set permission to 0755:
- inject
- nimble

2. Store in somewhere else the current "keychain-2.db" and run inject. A new keychain-2.db will be created

3. Uninstall the push app (i.e. beejive or similar) you intend to test on from your hacktivated device and reboot

4. Test youtube, reinstall the above push app and test.

I guess this is not for 2G iPhones?

I guess this is not for 2G iPhones?

This works for both 2g and 3g both tested....

I guess this is not for 2G iPhones?

My thoughts too..

This works for both 2g and 3g both tested....

anyway to upload the files somewhere else. For some reason, rapidshare tells me I'm at the limit.

How do you set permission on mobileterminal?

How do you set permission on mobileterminal?

use winscp it's the easiest way

[alexbaldy]

I got problem.

Following B, step 2, after I reboot my 2G, it crates new keychain-2.db, but my phone looses YouTube, and push still not working, also phone forgets my Wi-Fi password.

Permissions checked.

Good thing I got keychain-2.db backed up, after putting back original one, WiFi and YouTube work.

What I do wrong?

[CoasterFuelPhil]

same thing with my 2g, forgets the wireless password... youtube works but push doesn't.

EDIT: Got it working, tried 3-4 more times and it finally worked... Thanks dev-team!!!

[bahar]

CoasterFuelPhil, I have the same problem. Which step do you do for 3-4 times? Every steps in B? or just step 3&4 in B? Thanks.

EDIT: Manage to get it working. Thanks CoasterFuelPhil for the tip.

Thanks for this guide. Found another one just like this one, only with photos. Might make it easier for some.

How do you do this with cyberduck? It seems only info for win users is given.

NVM: Found out thru trial and error:



For Mac users, follow all of the steps above (using Cyberduck) until you reach the step for B. Then follow these steps here:

Step 1:
Open up the Terminal in OS X and type in the IP address of your iPhone.

ssh root@(ip address)

Which you can find by going into your Settings > WiFi > clicking on the (>) next to the network your connected to.

Step 2: Navigate over to the folder by typing in:
cd /private/var/Keychains
And then type: ./inject

Step 3:
Type: ‘logout’ and close the terminal and Cyberduck. Uninstall any Push capable applications, reboot your phone and reinstall the application.

Might be a dumb question....

what do mean by legit activated?

I have a Jailbroken/unlocked 2G using tmobile....which file should I use?

Thanks!

[bahar]

Weird... When I am on 3G network, I will received the push notification... But when I am on WiFi, I won't received any push notification...
Anyone have the same problem?

kashvii, you need to download both files, extract them and follow the steps in part B.

[McKrout]

So here is a random question... how does one actually reach the directory where these files are located after using cyberduck? Everytime I try to navigate to private/var/keychains through terminal, it says it doesn't exist. I'm SSH'd in with root and the correct the password, but on my directories are library and media... thoughts?

EDIT:
cd private/var/Keychains fails every time on both OS X Terminal and on Mobile Terminal

2nd EDIT:
Figured it out, installed iFile and it gave me the hint I needed to access the directories.

[Dweller]

Tried this twice. Push still doesn't work on my 3G 8GB over WiFi. I have no data plan so can't check if it works over EDGE. Anybody else having the same issue?

[McKrout]

So, after figuring out to get to the right location to run the command and rebooting and installing Beejive... it works. Thanks to the posters in this thread and the Dev Team!

[@heyart]

Anyone getting this to work over WiFi?
