No problem. Are you currently on 3.1.2?

I actually don’t remember getting the ‘make my life easier’ option either – but open up Cydia, and at the top you should be able to see “This device has SHSHs on file for iPhone OS 3.1.2″ at the top

Hi there – thanks for the great article on how to do this, however I do have one question.

I’m struggling on where to set up this “SHSH” part of the process. When I go into Cydia I can’t see anything like “make my life easier” – is this just something for 3GS? I can’t see it myself but that’s the only thing different

Thanks again
Dan

@Tiyema:

Most likely your SHSH’s are stored on Saurik’s server. As with most everyone who had to ‘update’ in the past few weeks. There is something wrong with Saurik’s SHSH store.

Just fire up Umbrella, manually grab your SHSH’s from Saurik’s gs.apple.com, run TinyTSS, edit your hosts file, and voila.

Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.

Forget my previous post, I didn’t correctly understood what umbrella was made for… sorry

Thanks for this VERY useful post !!! I was looking for this the last 2 days !
Unfortunately, I messed up with something : I tried to restore with a 3.1.3 custom using snowbreeze (bootrom and baseband are not updated with this method), as I thought my SHSH was saved on saurik’s server. Now it’s too late to send 3.1.2 SHSH with umbrella as my iphone is now in 3.1.3

Thanks a lot ! You *almost* saved my life !
Keep it real

Hi Brennan
another question. Does the paperclip have to be used after installation? Will actually connecting an external monitor allow me to install without the paper clip? Thanks for your patience.

Hi Brennan

I am going to have a go at installing Leopard on my T43. I am a noob so please bear with me. I have no experience with the Mac terminal. In the section where you run code in the terminal 1) do I hit enter after each line of code or after I have typed in all the code, and 2) the 2 lines of code re .mkext & .kextcache files. Where do I go to see if they do exist and presumably I don’t enter this code if they are not there.
