Help with jailbreaking and Cydia for iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches.

Question

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)

If openssh is installed, I would try sshing in and uninstalling the package and reboot.

Otherwise, happy restoring.

How to SSH in? Is there a tutorial?

(26 Mar '14, 18:01) steste

There are many tutorials on how to ssh in your device. Find one appropriate for your OS/environment.

Once you are in, become the root user and uninstall the package with dpkg -P packagename

You should be able to find the "packagename" by running dpkg -l | grep -i pdanet

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

(26 Mar '14, 17:56) steste

The error returned was "too many recipients"

(26 Mar '14, 17:57) steste

I think the dev is trying to escape with too many complaints

(26 Mar '14, 18:00) steste

that means you sent it to multiple people

I only typed in the debs email

doesnt exist and too many recipients are polar opposites.

@steste What method did you use to email the developer? Clicking "Author" on the package page in Cydia, or something else? Did you try this contact form?

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

(26 Mar '14, 20:07) SILVERNINA

you need wifi to activate, but it's a activate loop

itunes won't recognize

(28 Mar '14, 07:08) steste

recovery mde doesn't work

(28 Mar '14, 07:08) steste

Try putting it in DFU mode so that iTunes detects it in Recovery mode
