How To Bypass Apples Signature Server

What this process actually does is duplicates the functionality exposed by Apples signature server, except using "on file" results rather than live requests. All we need then is to make iTunes use it, using the following file and instructions we can re-direct requests to Apples signature server to Cydia instead.

1. Find the file ;

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

2. Now right click the host file and make sure you un-select "Read Only" then apply

3. Now right click on notepad and select "Run As Administrator"

4. This will open notepad, now ;

Browse again for hosts file

( You may need to change text, to all files in the bottom right hand corner if it doesnt display )

5. Open hosts file and at the bottom on a new line enter ;

74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

6. Now save and exit

7. To be safe you might now want to go back and right click hosts file and select "Read Only" again and apply

If you succeed then from now on when iTunes thinks it is talking to Apple, it is talking to Cydia instead.

This means that you will be able to downgrade in future to any firmware that you have an on file shsh for, this is why it is so important to grab your shsh for every firmware update, because the next one could be patched by Apple to plug the currently used exploit, and if thats the case, guess what, you can downgrade again to get back your jailbreak.
