this is a step by step tutorial on how to patch PdaNet v1.5.3 via terminal. for some reasons, you might don’t have the ability to use WinSCP or you might don’t have computer at all. don’t worry, follow the steps as below (this is considering that you already have PdaNet v1.5.3 installed from Cydia);
1. install MobileTerminal from Cydia
2. open terminal, log in as root (password by default is ‘alpine‘)
3. go to PdaNet’s binary. to do this;
a. type in ‘cd /var/stash‘
b. type cd Applications.XXXX (where XXXX is some random chars and numbers dependant on your phone). in some phones, you can only see Applications.pwn. but it’s ok, you can just proceed.
4. go to PdaNet.app folder ‘cd PdaNet.app‘
5. type ‘rm PdaNet‘ to delete the existing file (or ‘mv PdaNet PdaNet.bak‘ to keep as backup).
6. download patched PdaNet file from my repository – http://amirul.net/a/PdaNet. to do this, type ‘wget http://amirul.net/a/PdaNet‘. you will have to install wget from Cydia first if you don’t already have it.
7. type ‘chmod 755 PdaNet‘ (install chmod from Cydia if you don’t have it).
8. type ‘cd /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/‘
9. type ‘rm com.jft.pn.plist‘
done. now you can reboot your iphone and enjoy! please let me know should you successfully done it or not.
hi, this works. thanks a bunch~
[...] to my other post (http://www.amirul.net/?p=10) for instructions on how to patch PdaNet without [...]
I only see Applications.pwn, and when I followed the steps using this directory it did not work. Any ideas?
if your PdaNet.app folder is indeed in folder Applications.pwn, you can just proceed there.
….also when I loaded the PdaNet app using wget it loaded it as PdaNet.1, not as simply PdaNet….
sorry mate, i just updated my post above. missed one step (step 5).
Thanks amirul, I assumed as much, but because all this is new to me I didn’t want to go forward without asking first. By the way it worked like a charm. THANK YOU
good stuff!
I cant find chmod on cydia can i get it somewhere else
are you sure that you don’t have ‘chmod’ ? try typing ‘chmod’ alone in terminal and see what u got. it should be there by default.
worked grat thank you
