| − | == WTF URL's == |
||
| − | There are some WTF [[IPSW File Format|IPSW]] URL's in the Apple Firmware XML file. What are those? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 17:11, 12 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | :"WTF" is part of the restore process. I believe it's like a software implementation of DFU, so it can be used to "patch" bugs in DFU (to an extent; remember that DFU can't be changed once the device leaves Foxconn's doors). In fact, as I recall Apple did use WTF to try and cover up/block [[Pwnage 2.0]]. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 17:28, 12 July 2011 (UTC) |

| − | ::So Apple downloads that, flashes that, then flashes the firmware? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 18:20, 12 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | :::WTF files are something like "patches" for DFU mode, they just don't get flashed anywhere. They also allow you to send bigger firmware payloads, from what I observed. You may noticed that iTunes displays a "Contacting iPhone/iPod restore server" upon connecting a device in DFU mode - that's when it downloads the WTF file. --pjakuszew 21:49, 15 July 2011 (UTC) |

| − | HostMonstor is being an idiot and blocking me from editing for some reason. --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 19:57, 15 July 2011 (UTC) |

| − | :Same here. I hope we don't need to bother geohot to sort this out. :\ --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 20:00, 15 July 2011 (UTC) |

| − | ::It appears to only affect when placing external links or editing long pages. This may be a bug in recaptcha. Any thoughts? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 20:06, 15 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | :::reCAPTCHA is only applied for account creation, so that can't be the problem. I suppose we could try to divide the page into multiple parts. (e.g.- Move the iPad firmwares to another page, and then include it on this page via a template tag.) --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 20:12, 15 July 2011 (UTC) |

| − | ::::Like on [[Jailbreak]]? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 20:17, 15 July 2011 (UTC) |

| − | ::::::Done --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 03:35, 16 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::::No, try adding an external link and it will ask for reCAPTCHA. I know, it has happened to me MANY times --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 20:17, 15 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | :::::I've never seen that on here before… Perhaps it's because I'm a sysop? --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 20:19, 15 July 2011 (UTC) |

| − | == Editing Issues == |
||
| − | I think hostmonster is having issues because this page is so big, trying to fix now. --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 22:56, 15 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | :Thanks, it isnt allowing me to edit [[TinyUmbrella]] to post the new 5.00.05 update though --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 22:59, 15 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | :Also, is reCAPTCHA needed anymore as signup is disabled? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 23:00, 15 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::[[mediawikiwiki:|Mediawiki]] is dumb for not sending deltas of changes. This has nothing to do with recaptcha --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 23:02, 15 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | :::They kindof do. They cant do deltas as then they would need to spend forever creating a database update script just for the delta. They tell you what was changed. |
||
| − | :::Have you tried updateing to 1.17? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 23:21, 15 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | :Crap! I edited trying to space out the page and now atv is missing --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 23:27, 15 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | :Thanks for looking into this! The size of the page might be an issue, but HostMonster also threw the same error when I tried linking to two support.apple.com pages before. :\ --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 00:19, 16 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::Again: reCAPTCHA? Maybe because 1.12 is crap. 1.17 is what we need? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 01:01, 16 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | :So It's fixed? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 02:53, 16 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | :Yay! Can we still remove reCAPTCHA? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 02:55, 16 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | Ok, fixed. And I like reCAPTCHA, when does it bother you? --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 04:29, 16 July 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | :And upgraded to 1.17 as well --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 22:40, 15 July 2011 (MDT) |
||
| − | :Whenever you put a new external link on a page. Apparently, the sysops like you dont see it.WOOT! finnaly, an update! thank you geohot. on last thing, i am not saying you have to, but ycould you install parserfunctions? also, cound you go to the localsettings.php and change the skin to vector? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 22:43, 15 July 2011 (MDT) |
||
| − | ::Skin switched, if wikipedia uses vector, we use vector :P Recaptcha has also been disabled for now, we'll see how it goes...to be honest I like our invite only community more. And if you think it'll make the wiki better, I installed parserfunctions. --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 22:55, 15 July 2011 (MDT) |

Dates
It'd be sweet to have the dates the firmware came out as a column. --geohot 13:09, 12 December 2011 (MST)
- We would need to establish a date format. Here are some options:
- MM-DD-YYYY
- DD-MM-YYYY
- MM/DD/YYYY
- DD/MM/YYYY
- Mon DD, YYYY
- Month DD, YYYY
- DD Mon YYYY
- DD Month YYYY
- --Balloonhead66 14:40, 12 December 2011 (MST)
- To avoid confusion with US and non-US dates you can forget all variants which have the month as a number. I would suggest either ISO (yyyy-mm-dd) or one of your last two variations. -- http 15:00, 12 December 2011 (MST)
- I vote ISO, and since when are talk pages queues and not stacks? --geohot 15:31, 12 December 2011 (MST)
- "DD Month YYYY" is how iFaith and sn0wbreeze are, so I vote that. @geohot, talk pages have always been "newest at bottom". When the top ones are done, they are archived. --Balloonhead66 16:54, 12 December 2011 (MST)
