If you cant wait for JailbreakMe update, here is a quick possible fix for FaceTime and MMS issue on iPhone 4 after jailbreak using JailbreakMe 2.0 (Star).

Step 2: Once you are done with the jailbreak, start “Cydia” on your iPhone.


Step 3: Touch on “Manage” tab on the bottom.


Step 4: Now touch on “Sources” as seen in the screenshot below:


Step 5: Touch on “Edit”, and then on “Add”. You should now be prompted to enter a url source as seen in the screenshot below. Type“http://iphonedelivery.advinux.com/cydia/” and click on“Add Source”.

Cydia will now automatically update your sources by following a series of automated steps.
Step 6: After installation is completed. Search for “iPhoneDelivery” in Cydia and install this application. This app apparently fixes both the FaceTime and MMS issue.

Let us know how this one goes for you in the comments section below. [Thanks Ran Cohen for the share on Redmond Pie’s Facebook Fanpage]


UPDATE 1: JailbreakMe has been updated which has fixed all the problems related to FaceTime and MMS. If you are doing a fresh jailbreak, you will not have any of these issues. Existing users will need to do a “Complete Upgrade” of Cydia followed by a reset of Network Settings. To do this, simply fire up Cydia and let the loading to finish. It will now automatically ask you to update Cydia. Touch on “Complete Upgrade” and reboot the device once it is done. Go to Settings –> General –> Reset –> Reset Network Settings. Reboot the device again. The problem should be fixed now.

Spirit Jailbreak Fix for iTunes 9.2 on iOS 3.1.3 for iPhone and iOS 3.2 for iPad

The best and the most easiest jailbreak tool has just been updated (unofficially?) to bring support for iTunes 9.2. Earlier when Apple released the final version of iTunes 9.2, it broke the compatibility with Spirit and so this new version brings the required fix to make it compatible with iTunes 9.2. However no new feature has been added. It still does not work with iOS 4 and iPhone 4. Only iOS 3.1.3 and 3.1.2 for iPhone 3GS, 3G, 2G, iPod touch, and iOS 3.2 for iPad is supported.

Instructions are still the same. You can follow our complete step by step guides to jailbreak your iPad, iPhone 3GS, 3G, 2G and iPod touch 3G/2G on 3.1.3 using Spirit.

• How to Jailbreak iPhone 3GS, 3G, 2G on iOS 3.1.3 with Spirit
• How to Jailbreak iPad on iOS 3.2 with Spirit
• How to Jailbreak iPod touch 3G and 2G on iOS 3.1.3 with Spirit

For those of you with iPhone 3GS (new bootrom), iPod touch 2G (MC model) and iPod touch 3G who upgraded to iOS 4, only to find out that you cant jailbreak it back can actually downgrade back to iOS 3.1.3 and then jailbreak it using Spirit. Step by step guide for downgrading your iOS device from iOS 4 to iOS 3.1.3 can be found here (works only if you have SHSH blobs saved for 3.1.3).

Fix 1604, 1600 Error During iOS 4 Custom Firmware Restore in Tunes

Some of you might have noticed the annoying 1604, 1600 error when restoring to iOS 4custom firmware in iTunes which is built using PwnageTool 4.0 or 4.01. The error in question looks something on the lines of this.

The iPhone "[your iPhone]" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred.

Going through the comments posted here, I found this fix posted by one of our reader which I thought I should share it with you all. I haven’t tried this because I never got the error, but if you did get the error, let us know if the instructions posted below fixes the issue.
The instructions, as posted by Carlos Leopoldo are as follows:

Steps to fixing 1604 iPhone restore error:
1. There is no need to reinstall iTunes or whatever. Keep the same version that you have used to restore or backup previously.
2. Make sure that iPhone is disconnected from your computer and that iTunes is closed.
3. The following step of fixing 1604 iPhone restore error is Windows XP specific, if you are a Mac user, you may have to locate the folders yourselves as I am not sure: Go to folder C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates. You will see one or more files. Cut and paste them somewhere else. Do not delete them in case the steps does not work for you, you can still copy them back to the folder. You can find out your username by doing a Ctrl-Alt-Del. If somehow you cannot find the folder, you are probably in the wrong user directory.
4. Launch iTunes and put your iPhone in recovery mode. Refer to this article on Unable To Restore iPhone on how to do put iPhone in recovery mode.
5. Proceed with restore and iTunes will download the update online. If you are downgrading to a lower version, do step 3 and leaving only the firmware file that you want to downgrade to. Double click on the file and iTunes will begin the restore.

Please do share your results with us in the comments section below. Thanks.

Fix iPhone 3.1.2 Tethering and Visual Voicemail VVM

Last week we posted a complete step by step guide on how to enable Internet Tethering option on your iPhone 3G/3GS running iPhone firmware 3.1.2 which was based on the hack, originally found by the Dev-Team. While the hack worked flawlessly for some, many specially AT&T users were forced to choose between enabling either Tethering option or visual voicemail (VVM).

W1kedZ has finally found a fix for AT&T users who relied on MobileConfig file fromhttp://help.benm.at to enable Internet Tethering on their iPhone’s. Follow the steps below to enable both Tethering and Visual voicemail (VVM) on your iPhone 3G/3GS running iPhone 3.1.2 firmware (for AT&T users only):

Step 1: You will need to first follow the complete detailed guide posted here to enable Internet Tethering on your iPhone from Step 1 – Step 10.

Step 2: Make sure you do not install the MobileConfig file fromhttp://www.benm.at/help/help.php as mentioned in UPDATE 1 of our guide posted here. If you already have it installed, then you must first remove it by navigating to Settings -> General –> Profiles on your iPhone before moving to the next step.

Step 3: Download and install the corrected MobileConfig file by browsing to this link from mobile Safari on your iPhone. This corrected MobileConfig file basically has correct APN settings for both VVM and Tethering so that they don’t interfere with each other.

That’s it! Tethering and Visual voicemail should now both be running perfectly on yourjailbroken AT&T iPhone 3G/3GS running firmware 3.1.2.

You can ask me any question should you run into any problem in enabling Tethering and Visual voicemail (VVM) on your iPhone running firmware 3.1.2.
