iTunes 8.2 BAD for jailbreakers - DO NOT UPDATE!

evolution83 · 06-03-2009, 09:58 PM

In case any of you missed it, please avoid installing the newest iTunes 8.2 release. Currently, it prevents anyone from using QuickPwn, PwnageTool, and iPhone Tunneling Suite (ssh over usb)

More info can be read here.

I installed the 8.2 and am trying to uninstall and put 8.1 back on with windows...does anyone know how you could do this? I have tried but have no luck

so does this mean that if im already jailbroken.....im ok or still dont update to 8.2? Im somewhat confused

Do not install, it will take away your jailbroken options and 8.2 can be very difficult to downgrade back to 8.1!

It isnt too difficult. Back up your Itunes library, then uninstal Itunes completly. Then download and instal 8.1 - then just sync your library back... should be straight forward

This is a lie!

Ive updated to 8.2 and my jailbroken iphone connects syncs and works just fine. MY jailbroken options still work, im able to restore and rejailbreak again. The only thing that ive heard wont work anymore is the ssh over usb which doesnt apply to me since i use wireless.

The major change for 8.2 was to keep Palm from using iTunes like how iPhone/iTouch/iPod's do.

Im on a Mac. The whole 8.2 crap is a lie. MY itouch works just fine and my Iphone syncs just fine, i can move movies/music and do everything like normal...and this has been for quite some time now.

You can believe everything you read. My devices work fine and they're all jailbroken. If i need to make a video of it then i will.

well i guess everyone has there story or opinion...but my opinion is to not install 8.2 just yet, I did install and lost all my jailbroken apps after a few days I was missing the way the itouch use to be. so i tried to uninstall 8.2 and reinstall 8.1...i was offered many ideas on this site and some others and none of them worked. after two days of trying the ipod finally froze or bricked I guess is the term, I brought it back got a new one and am back on 8.1 jailbroken and I will not install 8.2 till the time is right...but hey if you got it work..good for you!
