Is there any list of add ons for the XBMC on appletv2?

Jailbroke my factory unlocked iPhone 4 today and installed iphonedelivery for sms reports, now any time I go to messages it flashes up and the app closes. I've uninstalled iphonedelivery and reset my phone (power and home buttons) but it's still happening.


Any ideas?

EDIT: I re-added the source then uninstalled the program, messages are working OK now. Don't think iphonedelivery works with iOS5 however...

why dont you just put in a unlock request to apple, Pick option moving to another country and you'll have a factory unlock within a week, you need to send the request through your operator though.

heres the o2.ie unlock request link, hope it helps.

ok here goes. i have an iphone 3gs that im selling. but first i want to unlock it again before i put it on ebay. it was jailbroken and unlocked with the changed baseband. i used a custom ipsw to update it to ios 5 and lost the unlock cause i only use other sims during the summer while im away. there are jailbreaks available seemingly but they are all for ios 5.0.1. so i tried to cook a custom 5.0.1 ipsw but redsnow 0.9.95b (the latest one) says it doesnt recognise it. where do i go from here?

just hoping someone can point me in the right direction. thanks

It's working perfectly on iOS 5.0.1 for me.

If you have the iOS 5 compatible version then it should show up like this under Settings > Messages

That's not what I had. Which source did you add? I used

http://iphonedelivery.advinux.com/cydia

I used that repo. There's two listed on there, one is version 0.3.8.10 and the other is 0.5.2-25. The latter is the current version.

There is another one you can try if stuck:

http://iphonedelivery.advinux.com/ios5ms

This hosts some beta tests but should still work.

Cheers, I added the wrong version.

Updated to 5.0.1 via itunes and jailbroken via redsnow.

Very simple and damn it I'm glad to have the jailbreak back.

Sounds like the phone is still tethered, does it work if you run redsn0w and choose the "Just boot" option?

Install "Corona 5.0.1 Untether" from Cydia and you should be good.

I don't think there's an untethered jailbreak for 5.0, you'll either have to update to 5.0.1 or remain tethered.

Gevey won't work on a 04.11.08 platform, I tried it. I have one if anyone is looking to unlock earlier versions.
