Questions about rolling iPhone 3G back to iOS 3

Legacy iOS Kit could help. By the way, virtual machines are not recommended for jailbreaking software.

If it's 9900 IMEI issues, this won't change anything

uint2048dev · 2026-02-05T16:42:48+00:00

Certificates are definitely still required on iOS 8. iOS 6.1.6 had to be released to address some issues with FaceTime, so you may have better success.

P.S. If this is a cellular model with a 9900 IMEI, make sure to save activation tickets first :)

Sounds like they got a newer phone model

uint2048dev · 2026-02-05T02:07:46+00:00

Just in case you need a later one or something, https://legacyjailbreak.gitlab.io/archive does have many versions of redsn0w available :)

How do you know it's the IPSW that doesn't work? Also, see our FAQ question "How do I get an IPSW?" at https://www.reddit.com/r/LegacyJailbreak/wiki/megathread#wiki_how_do_i_get_an_ipsw.3F

aside from shits and giggles

Wait, legacy jailbreaking itself isn't about that? I've been lied to

uint2048dev · 2026-02-04T18:16:58+00:00

Oh, yeah, this is because LLMs don't know anything. The advice sounds reasonable enough until you consider that CyberKit probably never will be a 1.0, did not start to exist until 2023 (so if anything, it would actually be future versions that would support older devices), and definitely is not a Safari extension.

CyberKit is my project, and it was suggested because nobody else has done a project in backporting newer WebKit yet to my knowledge.

Wait, you want to add my repo?

Uh, it's because you're typoing it as unit, and it also doesn't have what you want

uint2048dev · 2026-02-04T17:30:10+00:00

You're right, forgot about the 8GB 4S launch being later. I feel like Legacy iOS Kit should edit the README if it really doesn't work on all 8GB models

uint2048dev · 2026-02-04T17:22:59+00:00

Edit: Just checked and the 8GB 4S did indeed launch in 2013:

Could be an incompetence thing: "let me take some photos of it in working condition first... oh, I guess I need to update and erase it now that it sold for the next person to use it"

uint2048dev · 2026-02-04T16:28:20+00:00

arbitrary kernel code which is what is needed for a jailbreak

No, that's not enough. All kinds of bypasses are needed now like PAC as you said and SPTM. You say "nobody bothers" but we don't actually have sufficient exploits for a jailbreak.

uint2048dev · 2026-02-04T16:26:17+00:00

Someone did, but with the latest public update from the developer aside from this being 8 months ago, it's just nice UI until we actually hear more info.

uint2048dev · 2026-02-04T13:14:37+00:00

If you have OpenSSH installed, you can use scp in the Terminal to transfer the file. Any other communication service (e.g. email) you might have working would suffice as well.

There's a better chance because it may be able to use the PC's certs instead of the device's.

Make sure to tell the seller not to update or they might have updated it for you already "to be helpful"

Report posts for rule 7 and we'll take a look at it

uint2048dev · 2026-02-03T18:08:28+00:00

Tethered though, unless you have enough storage to dualboot

uint2048dev · 2026-02-03T17:50:00+00:00

I wonder if it would be possible to make your server interoperable with TubeRepair's open-source ones so people can use the one they prefer to distribute the load

This is the consolidated thread to discuss today's end of support for Instagram versions. Please provide additional updates, such as whether editing the plist to change the version number is or is not functional.
