For me, features such as;
SBS settings
5 dock icons
folder expansion (more than the standard 12 apps per folder)
custom message tones
MiWi to allow WIFI tethering
RemoveBG (which allows you to kill all running apps from a SBS settings toggle)

...and there's probably more little tweaks that I've done over the years that I rely on daily.
They're all little things, but make the phone much better to live with. I only realised this when I upgraded from my 3g to the IP4 and couldn't remember how to toggle bluetooth, or couldn't find my emails because it couldn't fit on my dock any more... little things, but IMO stuff that should be standard.

**1. Download Tiny Umbrella

**2. Find your ECID number

2.1 Put you phone in recovery mode
2.2 Download USBView
2.3 Run it
2.4 Scroll down till you see *Apple Recovery (iBoot) USB drive* in the left pane, and then click on it.
2.5 On the right you will find some text, look for ECID, it's on about the 15th line for me, and across to the right a bit.

**3. In tiny umbrella, click on the advanced box for more options

**4. Enter your ECID, and enter the firmware you are checking for. For example if you want to see if you have blobs for 3.1.3 on 3gs, find that in the drop down.

**5. Now click on 'get SHSH' or a similarly worded button top left. It will take a little while, but it comes up with text in the box saying that "successfully downloaded SHSH blobs from Cydia, this mean that you DO have blobs saved". You will get message with red text saying if you do not as well.

Hope this helps in the big decision to downgrade!

Hmm... I'm still on 4.0 (8A293) - can I go to 4.2.1 untethered? WTF is a "blob" and can I do it with a PC? The link I posted looks to me like it's done by Mac

Fucking technology :(

They have already said they are holding back for 4.3 before releasing the unteathered one they have developed.

What iOS are you using? 4.2.1? If yes, then you're fucked. Although you can currently run a tethered jailbreak. Unthethered is on the way though! (apparently)

seems to me that jailbreaks and unlocks are taking longer and longer to come out. Seems apple is winning these days

That's only if you've saved your old SHSH blobs.

The new one will be untethered and you won't need the old blobs


"blobs" :lol:

You can do this with just about any game via the plist files. Of course it's no where as easy as that!
