The volume up button on my ipone has died. Volume down works. The ringer can be adjusted up in software under "settings" but nowhere can I find a soft volume control for the phone. I searched the os and also the App store. No success.
Then I let google loose and it seems that for a software fix, I have to "jail break" the iphone
OR
implement a hardware fix.
Now a hardware fix is for me probably more straightforward but "jailbreaking" sounds like a lot of fun.
My firmware is
Settings>About>Version 4.2.1 (8C148)
Instructions

Notes
Red Snow - redsn0w_win_0.9.6b5.zip ?
Redsn0w is a WINDOWS PROGRAM that connects to the iphone.
The question I have for myself is
a) to jailbreak my V4.2.1 do I need a paricular version of redsn0w or just any version after 0.9.6b5?

Just make sure that the jailbreak that you use is an 'untethered' one.. i.e. I did a jailbrake a year or so ago, and it required me to re-jailbreak it each time it rebooted --> which means connecting to the USB cable, running iTunes and running the jailbreak program again.
ReplyDeleteGood point. Thanks
