Hey I'm taking on another project, I'm writing a iBook on the internals of jailbreaking. I was wondering if you might be interested on editing/giving ideas/or correcting information. You seem very educated in jailbreaking. --[[User:Dylan Laws|Dylan Laws]] 00:23, 29 January 2012 (MST)

==Pictures==
 
And for the new pictures for the stub pages, you probably just copied them from somewhere on the Internet. Please draw your own images instead of stealing it from somewhere. I'll delete them otherwise. We cannot have the official Apple logo just as a mark for general Apple issues. We might be able to use official product photos or the Apple logo on a page describing Apple, but nothing else. Treat images the same way as software. The jailbreak image probably comes from a scammers page, but it's still not yours, even if they do bad things. [[User:geohot|Geohot]] has enough trouble right now, so don't add copyrighted material to this wiki. I'll delete the images tomorrow if you haven't replaced them by then. Thanks. --[[User:Http|http]] 17:23, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 
:Ok, i'll replace the copywrited images with Public domain. --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 17:31, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 
::Thanks. (I had to laugh when I saw your new Apple!) --[[User:Http|http]] 17:39, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

== Flooding ==
 
Please stop flooding the wiki with your changes about your vfdecrypt GUI (one of what like 200?) all the recent changes most of the time are from you about little menial stuff that i doubt most people care about, i had to stop following the wiki twitter account because it seemed like 99.99% of the updates were from you, all useless. PLEASE STOP --[[User:Nito|Nito]] 19:53, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 
:Obviously keeping the wiki up to date is more important than inconveniencing anyone regarding their twitter feeds. The more accurate the wiki, the better. [[User:MuscleNerd|MuscleNerd]] 20:40, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 
::Yes but when his updates are about stupid crap re: ANOTHER vfdecrypt GUI then i think it does a disservice to everyone who uses the wiki. --[[User:Nito|Nito]] 20:37, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 
:::I think it's better not to judge *anyone's* contributions, large or small. This is a community of contributors. [[User:MuscleNerd|MuscleNerd]] 20:40, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 
:::: I understand that, but mostly every time i look in the recent changes pages its filled up with garbage about idecryptit or whatever, rendering "recent changes" 99.99% useless imo. --[[User:Nito|Nito]] 20:42, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 
::::: The more active the wiki, the better. It means (1) people are contributing (2) info is being refined and corrected. Even if it's the tiniest details, over time that makes a big difference. [[User:MuscleNerd|MuscleNerd]] 20:44, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 
::::::Yes, because people learn a lot from a GUI. He uses the wiki as an advertisement for it. --[[User:Cj|cj]] 20:50, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 
:::::::If it's a valid wiki topic, then it "deserves" to be updated as much as any other topic. If it's not a valid topic, ask to have it removed. He's actually marking all of his minor edits properly (that bold "m"). Perhaps whoever owns that twitter account shouldn't rebroadcast edits marked as minor like that. [[User:MuscleNerd|MuscleNerd]] 20:54, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 
:::::::: I think it straddles the line of "valid" i definitely remember reading somewhere that geo didn't want the wiki to be used as an advertisement for apps --[[User:Nito|Nito]] 20:56, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 
::::::::: The rule is actually "don't create a page just to advertise your new website please". More details on the Ground Rules page. [[User:MuscleNerd|MuscleNerd]] 21:02, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 
::::::::: I am not advertising. I am just posting relevant info on an iPhone related app. Also, now that is it published, I am done. Whenever a new firmware comes out, the recent changes is flooded with about 30 edits! --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 23:16, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 
:::::::::: Don't worry about it...feel free to make any changes whenever they're needed. You're actually doing a good job marking minor changes as "m", and those can be filtered from the Recent Changes page via a single click in the user preference panel. (Whoever's running that twitter bot should filter away "m" changes.) [[User:MuscleNerd|MuscleNerd]] 23:29, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 
::::::::::: Thanks! I only try to contribute. I never advertise (except with AdWords) and I always try to do my best to make sure this wiki has the latest info. --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 23:35, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 
:::::::::::: Yep, there can never be "too much" latest info :) The more contributors the better! [[User:MuscleNerd|MuscleNerd]] 23:40, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 
::::::::::::: I agree. Thank you for your support in this. If you want to follow the updates, check [[Special:Recentchanges]]. --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 02:52, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 
 
== Rephrase ==
 
Hi, thanks for fixing my bad link on the [[Bugging Debuggers]] page. But what did you mean by your comment "please rephrase that, here is what makes google hate us". What part needs rephrasing? --[[User:Tempelorg|Tempelorg]] 17:20, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 
:"Here", "Click here", etc. brings a sites ratings down. It also makes the page less clearer. --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 18:55, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 
::Ah, I see what you mean now. You should have put "here" in quotes, then I would have understood that you referred using that particular word. Will fix it now. Thanks. --[[User:Tempelorg|Tempelorg]] 13:45, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

== Warning ==
 
I noticed that you've been performing an excessive amount of edits the past few days. In particular, you exceeded 50 edits on August 1, 2011. I'd like to remind you that this goes against the newest rule of the wiki (Section 4.7 in the [[Ground Rules]]). If you exceed the editing limit again, you will be blocked (the duration of which will depend on the administrator). This will be your only verbal warning regarding this. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 12:47, 2 August 2011 (MDT)
 
:Is this every day thing reset every 24 hours, or midnight in WHAT time zone --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 14:41, 2 August 2011 (MDT)
 
::To keep things simple, I'm considering it "reset" at midnight according to the server's time zone (MDT). --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 16:02, 2 August 2011 (MDT)
 
:::OK, sorry about that, I was really confused and I knew there was something I was going to bring up on the proposal, but I had forgot --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 16:29, 2 August 2011 (MDT)
 
:::Also, I didnt notice. Sorry --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 17:29, 2 August 2011 (MDT)
 
::::YAY he can stop spamming my twitter feed with his edits to the iphone key page. no one cares about 1.x - 2.x any more. --[[User:ComingWinter|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">ComingWinter</span>]] 00:09, 3 August 2011 (GMT)
 
:::::Hey, follow the Recent Changes the way I do, through the page itself with a bookmark on my [[iPod touch|iPod's]] home screen. I mark those as minor just so you know and I was planning on spacing it out over a month or two so I dont spam it anyways... --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 17:29, 2 August 2011 (MDT)
 
Crap, went over by 5, SORRY! --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 17:34, 7 August 2011 (MDT)
 
:I meant to share this earlier when it was brought to my attention… You actually just hit the hourly limit for minor edits; you didn't exceed it. The rule currently limits users to 20 edits and 20 minor edits every hour. (I ''was'' planning to make the number 15, but didn't for some reason.) --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 21:23, 7 August 2011 (MDT)
 
::Ok, thanks. --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 15:57, 8 August 2011 (MDT)
 
 
== Latest stable software release ==
 
I saw that there are some pages below your user name, like "Latest stable software release", etc. This was a temporary solution only. Your decrypt gui may have its own page (in [[:Category:GUI Tools|category GUI Tools]]), as discussed long ago with geohot and the rules listed there. We don't want (discuss here if I'm the only one thinking so) to have version number pages of [[TinyUmbrella]] etc under your user name. Please fix this. I'll delete all these user sub-pages soon and don't want to fix all affected pages. Thanks. -- [[User:Http|http]] 01:38, 25 September 2011 (MDT)
 
:Sorry, I was waiting for a slow day to replace the [[Template:infobox software]] with the Wikipedia one using parser functions where the latest release is on the page. But don't delete the preview and final release for iDecryptIt as they are used by the update checker in the program. Thanks! --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 15:16, 25 September 2011 (MDT)
 
::Don't use the wiki as part of your software! So you better get this fixed soon (including your software) if you want that it doesn't break. I can wait a week or two before I delete them though. -- [[User:Http|http]] 16:00, 25 September 2011 (MDT)
 
:::When 5.00.7 comes out, it will no longer check from this wiki. After a month(?), you can delete them. That will be soon, I just need to finish the site. --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 16:11, 25 September 2011 (MDT)

Hey Cole, thanks for fixing up my page :) means a lot. --[[User:Rdqronos|rdqronos]] 17:24, 15 October 2011 (MDT)
 
 
== Warez warning ==
 
I'm being pretty lenient on this simply because the link that you posted wasn't a direct link to warez (though it did have it). But the next time you post a link that contains warez, I will most likely block you indefinitely. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 17:53, 21 October 2011 (MDT)
 
:Ok, sorry. --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 17:59, 21 October 2011 (MDT)
 
 
== iBoot ==
 
Please discuss changing the version numbers beforehand. A firmware's BuildManifest(o).plist may contain a tilde and some following numbers, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the actual binary carries the tilde and numbers also. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 23:52, 17 November 2011 (MST)
 
:Sorry, if you want to remove the tildes, I will do it. But to me, the tilde version makes it a bit more specific. Like how 8B117 is more specific than 4.1 --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 20:12, 18 November 2011 (MST)
 
::Nah, I don't think it needs to be reverted (yet) since that may lead to redundant changes. I just think that it should be discussed before all of the iBoot pages, etc. shift to the tilde format. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 21:25, 18 November 2011 (MST)

iBook

Hey I'm taking on another project, I'm writing a iBook on the internals of jailbreaking. I was wondering if you might be interested on editing/giving ideas/or correcting information. You seem very educated in jailbreaking. --Dylan Laws 00:23, 29 January 2012 (MST)

I don't want to be arrogant, but I think I could help you more ;) --rud0lf77 06:43, 29 January 2012 (MST)
Ya I can help --5urd 16:39, 29 January 2012 (MST)
I have a proof of the book here --Dylan Laws 16:50, 29 January 2012 (MST)

Minor keypage edits

You just made a ton of minor edits of the key pages (firmware pages) editing just empty lines or spaces (even invisible in diff). I understand that you do this for your own purpose so that one of your tools can lookup keys. But I would rather suggest to fix your parser instead of useless editing of these pages. Thank you. -- http 00:51, 1 February 2012 (MST)

Sorry about this. I should have spaced it out a it wider than a few days. --5urd 16:15, 1 February 2012 (MST)
Or just leave it? --http 17:30, 1 February 2012 (MST)
Or, yeah... --5urd 20:53, 1 February 2012 (MST)

Beta firmware kernelcache keys

I noticed you added keys for the iPhone3,1 and 3,3 for SundanceVail 10A5316k. However, the list is incomplete, you are missing the kernelcache keys. In the future, could you please make sure all the keys are there before you submit the page? Thank you, Austen Frazier 19:22, 13 June 2012 (MDT)

That was not me, but I see how you thought that. iNeal11 added them, I just went through and lowercased them to follow the standard format (iPhone3,1, iPhone3,3) --5urd 19:38, 13 June 2012 (MDT)
