Prohibited
Why are some links "prohibited", like the 3.1.3 of the iPod Touch 1G? --Jaggions 15:25, 31 August 2012 (MDT)
 * Because of copyright issues. We don't want any problems here. I have an iPod touch 1G and had to pay for all the major firmware upgrades. --http 19:30, 1 September 2012 (MDT)

iPod touch 4G 6.0
Was there a final for the iPod touch 4G released? --5urd 19:47, 19 September 2012 (MDT)
 * Yes, of course. :P I didn't get around to adding it earlier due to an evening class, though. -- Dialexio 20:47, 19 September 2012 (MDT)

New iPhones
I'm holding off on adding the new iPhone models (iPhone3,2 / iPhone5,1 / iPhone5,2) until we get more information about them (e.g. which iPhone 5 is for AT&T, what exactly is iPhone3,2…). -- Dialexio 20:58, 19 September 2012 (MDT)

iPhone 3GS 6.0.1 Can be jailbroken.
I see it says 3GS 6.0.1 cannot be jailbroken but it can. I was going to edit this myself but cant understand where that part is in the code.
 * It can be, there is just no tool that does it yet. The 3GS has a bootrom (un)tethered exploit and therefore, there is no work to be done to jailbreak. You just need an updated payload. --5urd 15:10, 6 November 2012 (MST)
 * fixed. redsn0w works (just pointing to 6.0 firmware). --http 16:54, 6 November 2012 (MST)

Jailbreak column
Can "Yes1" be changed to "tethered". Its not much more letters and if people who do not use the wiki often look, they may think its untethered without looking at the bottom. I am willing to do this. --Adaminsull 11:29, 4 December 2012 (MST)
 * I have no problem with that. (I actually remember it being that way before, but it was changed for some reason.) -- Dialexio 12:04, 18 December 2012 (MST)
 * Ok I will do this later. I will also do this on the jailbreak page. --Adaminsull 12:37, 18 December 2012 (MST)
 * How do I add the color for tethered? This template does not show. --Adaminsull 04:15, 19 December 2012 (MST)

New firmwares
I use http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/com.apple.jingle.appserver.client.MZITunesClientCheck/version but this does not show the download size. Is there a better site? --Adaminsull 11:44, 18 December 2012 (MST)
 * Nope. That's the one and only place where iTunes checks for iOS updates. We're stuck with downloading the entire IPSW (or perhaps sniff HTTP headers after starting a download?) to figure out the file size. -- Dialexio 12:01, 18 December 2012 (MST)
 * The way I do it is start the download, find the mb size and then convert it. --Adaminsull 12:09, 18 December 2012 (MST)
 * Dont do that please. Reported file sizes are rounded. In addition, files are not saved to a 1MB boundary. You need to get the byte count and that only.
 * Ok so how do I find the byte size? --Adaminsull 16:02, 18 December 2012 (MST)
 * You either have to read the header returned to the browser or download the whole thing. If you have done any by the calculation from megabyte/mebibytes, do tell so I can fix them. --5urd 17:23, 18 December 2012 (MST)
 * I have looked but cannot see what header you mean. Please tell me where. --adaminsull (talk) 16:41, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, found out that you can do . --adaminsull (talk) 18:12, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, that header. The one that you don't see because it is intended for the browser. If there are any you have done with the MB calculation, please fix them.

--5urd (talk) 00:28, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * They have all been fixed. I'll use curl next time. --adaminsull (talk) 00:51, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
