1. To make life easier, move Cydia out of Categories or unhide it
2. SSH into your iPhone and run the following command:

   dpkg --get-selections > installed.packages

3. Transfer the file you just created (installed.packages) to another system/location (I SFTP it into a linux box)
4. Upgrade your phone and use quickpwn
5. Reinstall openSSH from Cydia
6. SSH into your iPhone and get the “installed.package” file
7. Run the following command:

   dpkg --set-selections < installed.packages; dselect

8. Run the following command:

   apt-get dselect-upgrade

9. After everything is completed, run the command:

   reboot

I found a solution:

1. Enable Restrictions by going to Settings -> General -> Restrictions and key in a pass code
2. Go to home and disable the restrictions (by going through the same menu above)

After I do that, all my applications shows up again (except for Cydia based apps which are deleted by the upgrade process).

As it turns out, Outlook doesn’t support SSLv3. I had been using Thunderbird for the longest time without any problem, but since I had to test Outlook 2007 for business purposes.

To fix the issue, I changed my Courier IMAP setting from:
TLS_PROTOCOL=SSL3
to
TLS_PROTOCOL=SSL23

Fix:
Run outlook with the /cleanviews switch. (For x64 Vista I run the following command: “c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice12OUTLOOK.EXE /cleanviews”)

• There is a duplicate “Aperture Projects” on the left selection navigation when trying to change background.
• When adding folders, you don’t see the folders being displayed on the left navigation box. If you try to add it again, you get the following error message:
  Duplicate Folder
  The folder you selected is already present in the picture source list.

Fix:
Open iPhoto and create an iPhoto library in the Pictures folders (you don’t have to put any pictures)

1. Go to Settings -> Mails, Contacts, Calendars
2. Create a new Exchange account
3. Set the information as follows
   • Email:@gmail.com
   • Username: @gmail.com
   • Password:
   • Server: m.google.com
4. Choose which you want to sync

The file that needs to be removed is/var/mobile/Library/Calendar/Calendar.sqlitedb. There are some sites that talk about changing the permission, but I have not tried that. If you want to try changing the permission, you should try changing it by running the command chown mobile:mobile /var/mobile/Library/Calendar/Calendar.sqlitedb

NOTE:If you have calendar events on your phone that you haven’t sync to GCal, it will be erased after removing the Calendar.sqlitedb. Also after you move the file, you will need to run the calendar apps at least once.

Alternatively, there’s also another file conversion service offered by Zamzar. I have not used the service before, but it seems that the process is simply point the URL to the video that you want and you’ll receive the link for the audio.

1. Choose an MP3 file and trim it to 30 seconds or less – I use Audacity (download link) to do it
2. Import that MP3 into iTunes
3. Goto iTunes -> Preferences (for Mac) or Edit -> Preferences (for PC)
4. Navigate to Advanced -> Importing tab and set the “Import Using:” to AAC
5. Find the trimmed MP3 file inside iTunes, right click and choose “Convert Selection to AAC”
6. Right click the AAC version of the file and choose “Get Info”
7. Note the path to the file as indicated by the “Where” section under the “Summary” tab
8. Navigate to the location of the file and copy it to desktop
9. Change the extension of the copied file to “.m4r”
10. Open the files in iTunes and it should be automatically inserted under Ringtones category, which then can be transferred to iPhone

NOTE: I have tried to use “SoundConverter” and set the file type to be m4a. This actually doesn’t work. When I did it that way, the file will be uploaded but won’t be able to be played. It might have something to do with the file size generated by “SoundConverter” being too large.

SMS Notification is slightly more complicated than the Ringtones counterpart. SMS notification actually can’t be added, only modified. I also recommend shorter file for SMS notification. Here are the steps I take:

1. Trim MP3 files using Audacity (usually SMS notification should be shorter, roughly 3-4 seconds should be good)
2. Import the MP3 file to iTunes
3. Change the iTunes import to AIFF (Follow the ringtones guide to change importing mode in iTunes)
4. Find the AIFF file and copy to desktop
5. Change the extension to “.caf”
6. SFTP to the iPhone using Cyberduck (Mac) or WinSCP (Windows) or any other SFTP software
7. Navigate to the following directory: “/System/Library/Audio/UISounds”
8. Change one of the “sms-received<x>.caf” file to “sms-received_<x>.caf” where <x> is an integer from 1 to 6 that is least preferrable
   For example: Rename “sms-received6.caf” to “sms-received_6.caf” to replace the Electronic with custom sound
   File name mapping to notification name:
   sms-received1.caf -> Tri-tone
   sms-received2.caf -> Chime.caf
   sms-received3.caf -> Glass
   sms-received4.caf -> Horn
   sms-received5.caf -> Bell
   sms-received6.caf -> Electronic
9. Upload the file on the desktop using the old name of that was changed
   For example: if “sms-received_6.caf” is changed to “sms-received_6.caf”, upload the file using the name “sms-received6.caf”
10. Choose in iPhone the replaced tone
    For example: if you replaced sms-received6.caf, then you should choose Electronic

UPDATE: Ringtone should be set to 30 seconds. Another way to trim the music is to use iTunes’ ’start time’ & ’stop time’ field. This field is accessible by right clicking the song then choosing Get Info -> Options. After performing that, you export the file as AAC then rename it.

UPDATE: As one commenter mentioned, the SMS Notification hack only works on jailbroken iPhone

Symbol not found: __ZN3KJS11Interpreter4markEv
Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/WebCore.framework/Versions/A/WebCore
Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/A/JavaScriptCore

The probable cause:
All fingers seems to point to the Safari and Security update. This happens mostly on Tiger system, but it happens on a brand new Macbook on the way being updated to the latest version after opening the box.

Resolution:
This error is solved by replacing the Webkit.framework and JavaScriptCore.framework; however there are not that many walkthrough on how to replace the frameworks. Here’s a guide on how to replace the framework:

1. Download Pacifist
2. Download Leopard 10.5.4 Combo Update or Tiger 10.4.11 (Intel) Combo Update or Tiger 10.4.11 (PPC) Combo Update
   NOTE: This method has only been tested and confirmed on the Leopard version. The tiger version is only an educated guess
3. Open pacifist (trial version is okay) and use it to open the package (the .pkg file that is available after mounting the 10.5.4 combo update)
4. Navigate to find the System/Library/Framework both in the Pacifist and Finder
5. Drag and drop the Webkit.framework and JavaScriptCore.framework from the Pacifist to the Finder (admin password will be asked, confirm file replacement as needed)
6. Restart your computer
