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.
