Hello, i'm in very deep trouble with my friend because i told him there's this tweak called PDANET that might have the function to enable a hotspot without 3g.(we do that at school because we play LAN games, these games don't require a working WIFI connection). But i haven't done my research enough and most importantly cydia DIDN'T warn me that this package is NOT compatible with his phone's firmware(6.x), after the PDAnet told me to restart his phone to set up the tweak, his phone got deactivated and won't activate. even with itunes. Please help as i don't want to get blamed. PS:I tried holding the volume up button when booting, nothing happened. PPS:i saw in the forums that you could "SSH" into his phone. No idea how to do it what but i'm not sure if he has openSSH installed. PPPS:It's the best to keep as much data as possible, restoring is the LAST option i would take. PPPPS: Don't throw that crap at me, it's from legit repo, legit package. not pirated(it's free anyway) |
That's odd, PDANet should be compatible with iOS 6 along with iOS 7. You could try emailing the developer for help: http://www.junefabrics.com/support.php I tried emailing, but I got the email back saying the developer's email doesn't exist The error returned was "too many recipients" I think the dev is trying to escape with too many complaints that means you sent it to multiple people I only typed in the debs email 1
doesnt exist and too many recipients are polar opposites. Is your friends phone network from a sim? And by deactivated like no network? And foxfi runs with PDA NET i believe and that's a paid app. This could be your problem or I could be way off bht this sounds similar to a problem a few days ago you need wifi to activate, but it's a activate loop itunes won't recognize recovery mde doesn't work Try putting it in DFU mode so that iTunes detects it in Recovery mode Ok i will try that |

way to not read package descriptions
@theiphoneguy The PDANet package description doesn't say anything about iOS 6 incompatibility though, so this is odd.
recent changes does and says supports ios 7. i hadnt looked myself, was based on his saying 6.1
Looks like I'm doomed
So... I got his phone now.
And I will try going into dfu then restore correct?
Will his cydia blobs of 6.x be useful? I heard you can't do that anymore...
Could not locate which iPhone you posted about. Anyway all 6.x.x Cydia SHSH are useless and not good for a restore of applicable/eligible iDevices.
Ahhh, it's an iPhone 5...
iPhone 5 stays where it is or gets restored in iTunes to iOS 7.1
