Where does the Reverse Engineer Information come from? From the original program ? --M2m 08:10, 1 October 2010 (UTC

- Would just be interesting if this is some hidden code out fo itunes, the iphone kernel or wherever else... not just code without knowing where it came from .... --M2m 11:24, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Getting PurpleRestore
Has anyone got the program? Is there a way to get it? --Jaggions 13:35, 10 October 2012 (MDT)
- Yes, people have it, and there are ways of getting it, but it isnt worth it. From what I have seen it tracks location. --Phyrrus9 17:08, 27 September 2013 (EST)
- Do you have any proof to back up this statement? --Srb21103 (talk) 00:02, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
- By the way I have already got it. Thanks anyway
- I posted an example in PurpleSNIFF you can look at. --Phyrrus9 16:37 28 September 2013 (EST)

Submission version
In the "About" window that the screenshots show, what is the "submission" line? --5urd (talk) 22:50, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Why is that a pointless section?
It proves its existence, and tells that it pretty much is a bigger sibling than iTunes. (On a side note: some iTunes versions also check for com.apple.purplepod) --Awesomebing1 (talk) 13:27, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
