UInt2048/7.0 General Discussion

This is not an issue, just a comment.

I used python one-liner to make a website to server the files locally. Something like this:

sudo python3 -m http.server 80

Edit: This information is now included in the repo's README as of commit 103d08c

Your repo is awesome! I've been trying to get an iPad 2 on iOS 7.x.x jailbroken but the official evasi0n jailbreak app that's still hosted on their website won't work because they won't host the related files. I tried several different workarounds I found online but none of them worked. I also couldn't find the .ipa file anywhere and the curl example I found online wouldn't work.

Anyway, I saw a comment pointing to your repo and it was a real life-saver! Thank you for making this available and for it working on both Windows and Mac. I really appreciate it!

No problem! I'd found out on The iPhone Wiki about the state of evasi0n7's website going down, resulting in people unable to jailbreak iOS 7.0.x, and ended up discovering the original patcher and that its website had gone down, too. Since the patch was a simple URL change with a hex editor, I pulled out mine and reuploaded everything. 😉

As it turned out, I never actually ended up on iOS 7, and thus I never got to test this myself. I'm glad it's helped save some real iOS 7 devices though!

How did you find the actual ipa by the way? Did you get it from Apple servers or somewhere else?

It says in the README where I got everything - the person that patched evasi0n the first time reuploaded it, and I downloaded that via https://web.archive.org

Well done, I didn’t realize my little site even got archived, that’s awesome.

Thankfully it was, so I could do this ;)

Thank you for your original patch; I basically just did the exact same thing you did.
