New Challenges with ipad3 on ios 9.3.6 (lemmy.giftedmc.com)

I managed to solve the issue I had with sideloadly not working. the ipad is now jailbroken, some interesting facts I found:

system partition on 16 GB ipad, is 3GB
on 9.3.6 you only have 100 MB empty space
there are attempts to offload files and programs to /var but it is dangerous since a reboot could brick a tethered device
the stashing app for this purpose is not compatible with 9.3.6
ios is based on darwinOS so it basically is bsd.

my plans for the future:

try to find the sourcecode for the stashing app so I can port it
try and find an untether for 9.3.6 or make one myself
try to run postmarketos, maybe also changing the partitions

possible issues:

the bootloader is closed afaik so the device might brick if rebooted

edit: the solution presented itself. the vm didnt catch the itunes connection although it caught the device. leaving the device connected while rebooting it made the change. solved.

Hi folks, I'm a tinkerer and like to hack old devices. Currently running postmarketOS on an old oneplus6. Now I want to try to repurpose my old ipad 3 with LTE.

Edit: The problem might be the windows vm since an iphone 11 with linghtning cable also doesnt get recognized.

For that purpose I have tried:

https://jailbreaks.app/legacy.html -> phoenix (Error: app could not be installed at this time)
windows VM (I'm on linux) with usb connect, I can see the ipad in device manager and open the harddrive but neither itunes nor sideloadly will connect to it. impactor also wont recognize the device
exchanging the cable for a different (newer) one, also no change
resetting the ipad to factory settings to free up space, no change
reinstalling itunes, icloud, sideloadly
restarting between each step

I'm kind of running out of ideas at this point. I generally have a debug device which I could try and use on the ipad but I struggle to find resources on lower level hardware hacking for the ipad. Let me know if you have any other ideas.

Have a good one!

[Tutorial] 2 ways to fix YouTube app on iOS 6 (old.reddit.com)

(App Store) 1. Install the YouTube app via App Store or IPA Installer 2. Install iFile from Cydia 3. Go to iFile and navigate to applications folder

Go through every single folder in the directory until you find a folder called "YouTube.app"
Scroll down to a file called "info.plist" and change the version number that can still connect to YouTube servers with no issue (there will be 3 strings you have to change)
Install "Gsigninfix"
Install Tubefixer form the repo 'cydia.invoxiplaygames.uk' or 'cydia.invoxiplaygames.uk/beta'
Install "mikoto" from repo "cydia.akemi.ai"
Go to the Settings app and scroll down to mikoto and click it
Go to Youtube and click it and enable all the options shown.

(Preinstalled) 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0Tg9TxLUGc&feature=youtube_gdata_player

This works on iOS 4 - 6 idk if this works on iPhone OS 3 or older.

What’s the future of this community? (lemmy.ml)

Well, the description is still directly copied from Reddit (with no edits) and no one is actively posting. Will you move the Reddit members soon? Would love to see this active. Maybe you remember me. I caused some trouble on r/LegacyJailbreak before. But thought I would offer myself as a mod for this community anyways. I would call myself quite dedicated and active. If you look at OldiOS@lemmy.world, you see a great introduction to iDevice collecting and Jailbreaking. But anyways. Moving the community would be the next right step.
