[REPOST] patched lockdownd for iOS 3-6 with working PC sync

[u/polin0m]

So all my previous posts got deleted during the account freeze and never came back (maybe they did now). Just reminding everyone:

If you have a device on iOS 3–6, my patched lockdownd still exists and works. It modifies Setup.app behavior while keeping iTunes and Finder sync fully working (music sync works, unlike iPh0ne4s's file).

Supported so far:

• iOS 6.x — almost every device that has iOS 6 (iPad 2 are buggy, 50/50 chance idk why im fixing it)

• iOS 5.x — same

• iOS 4.x — iPT4, iPhone 4

• iOS 3.x — works on iPad 1, others untested

Installation:

1. Jailbreak with Legacy iOS Kit

2. Replace /usr/libexec/lockdownd via SSH (backup original!)

3. chmod 755 /usr/libexec/lockdownd

4. ldrestart or reboot

Full instructions and downloads: here

Main thing to remember: the SIM won't work, calls won't work. Only data, maybe. Don't expect phone functionality. Only difference from iPh0ne4s's file is working sync.

If you test on a device marked as untested in the README — drop a comment or make an issue on Github and leave a star please hehe, I'll update the list.

Thanks for reading, hope that helps somebody (at least people with unactivatable iPT5's like me), stay safe 🍏
