it would appear i'm loosing it... didn't realize paddy joined in on a conversation specific to techaddict.... was pointing out that you were questioning the availability of his (techaddict's) shsh blobs even though he's already jailbroken on 4.2.1. in which casecydia has them paddy didn't specify currently/previously jailbroken or not

yes but you never know if people pushed "make my life easier" in Cydia or not So if he did you're right he would be ok..

I didn't

I am currently on 4.3.1 jailbroken. Just to confirm, it is too late for me to grab my SHSH blobs?

Thanks,
Patrick

Really? It is too late to grab 4.3.3 blobs yes.. The next untethered JB will probably be iOS5..

So just to check, in your Cydia, at the top when you open it up, it doesn't say "SHSH: 4.3.3 ..etc" ?

 

[paddy_za]

It says SHSH: iOS 4.3.3! But I didn't select the option to "make my life easier". Do you think it just did it anyway?

Hmm well maybe you pushed it without knowing.. Perhaps use iFaith to make a 4.2.1 firmware with your SHSH blob embedded in case you dont have the SHSH for 4.2.1 - http://iphoneza.co.za/2011/06/10/if...ipsw-firmware-files-with-embedded-shsh-blobs/

Then you can try update to 4.3.3 using the hosts file trick or TinyUmbrella will do it for you with the "Set hosts to Cydia on Exit" option. - see this pic

Yeah I think it did! So just launch tinyumbrella, get that SHSH, and then you're good to go.

well... if they didn't, then difficult their lives will be... struggle on your own steam then I say!

no tinyumbrella or anything needed, just follow my previously posted instructions and you can restore to any firmware that cydia says is on file, you don't need to physically have your shsh blobs, they just need to be available somewhere to authenticate a past restore, which is what "on file" means in cydia

 

[techaddict786]

While Synaesthesia methods are right, Apple are no longer signing 4.3.3, so unless you have the SHSH blobs saved for 4.3.3, then you won't be able to upgrade/restore to that firmware.. If you have the blobs, then use them and do what Synaesthesia said.



LOL theron, still at it haha

Thanks guys!
Seems like Cydia saved my shsh blobs as i see 4.3.3 on the top of the screen

i feel i'd rather wait for iOS5 as 4.2.1 doesnt give me any issues thus far

iOS 4.3 is worth getting IMO - it has some nice updates like wifi tethering and faster javascript in Safari.

Agreed, home sharing is another neat feature...

Is there someway I can add ratings to 'home made' movies for restrictions on the iPhone (4)...?

English please?

You want to hide your porn/set password on porn folder/movies?

Yes. Home made movies not pron. The phone allows you to set access to movies with certain ratings in the restrictions. But the movie must be rated.

 

[fxit_man]

I would assume you do that in iTunes?

iPhone 5 - Is this it?? (3D Renders)

Fresh off the press are some iPhone 5 design renders which were produces from leaked supposed iPhone 5 case designs..

Judging by previous rumours, now we be about the time we start getting some solid rumours, and I personally think for the most of it we are looking at the new iPhone 5 below.. It will take me a while to get used to the new oval home button, but perhaps it will look better in real life than in the renders below?

What do you think of the renders below? ...
