I am the jailbreaking because I feel that my device is my responsibility and I have all rights on it. I don’t wish some company to restrict me what to do or not to do.

My initial setup was iphone 4 with ios 4.1.something.
I used itunes to upgrade to ios 7.1.2
then I used pangu to jailbrake but while installing cydia I lost all icons on my iphone.

Again I used itunes to reinstall ios 7.1.2 but then I use several times the reset/delete/restore options in the iphone settings menu.

Then I followed the steps http://www.lovemediasoft.com/article/bg/jailbreak-ios-7-1-x-pangu-1-1-windows.html and everthing was OK.

When cydia was installed I installed

to access the iphone over usb you need APPLE FILE CONDUIT “2” – is newer than afc2add – I am testing it right now..
AppSync Unified – you need this to install unsinged ipa files.
FlipControlCenter

Simple, right? I took me 2 nights to do all those stupid things in order to have MY phone MINE!

last time it took me again 2 nights those 4 nights are a lot of lost money and I wish apple to pay for them.

Here is the list of the programs that I use
Activator – shortcuts
OpenSSH
PasswordPilot – inserts your apple password automatically

Under linux I use this command to install ipa files.
ideviceinstaller -i /home/guda/Documents/iphone/ipa/openmaps.ipa
This comes from http://www.libimobiledevice.org/

You have to enable to access to your filesystem, maybe apt-get re-install fuse
