I’ve received a few emails from people who can’t get the Firewire GUID patch for iSlsk to work. So I’ve rewritten the patch and posted an update to Installer.

In order to fully test it, I restored my iPhone to stock 1.1.4 firmware, jailbroke it and installed both iSlsk and the Firewire GUID patch and it seems to be working. If anyone is still having problems, please contact me and we’ll get things sorted out.

p.s. Remember to refresh your sources to get the update!

Ed has submitted another theme, xudaz, which is now available via the repo.

 The Conclusion

So I got my iPod back today, and while the email I got on Monday told me Apple couldn’t reproduce my problem, just being in the factory must have done something because the dead spot is no more. The canned letter they sent back with it said that “The perceived fault may have been resolved as a consequence of the test procedure itself (internal iPod software update, reset and restore operations, etc).” Hey, whatever works, I’m sure not complaining.

Now to jailbreak it again..

After two days at the factory, Apple has informed me that they could not reproduce my problem. I knew I should have included brightly colored stickers and instructions.  Now I’m stuck driving two hours to my nearest Apple store and hopefully having them replace my iPod for me.

Looks like I complained a little too soon, Skyhook actually added my AP to their database and it now shows up on Maps. Seems like 19 days is the magic number.
