TWO WORDS TO START THIS: HO. LY. SH*T.
Why? Let me tell you my painful story.
It all started last night. I was in bed, reading iFans on my iPod. I came across this thread where it tells you that deleting some unused launch daemons on the iPod touch can speed it up and increase the memory a little. I attempted it. Without a computer. Using iFiles.
After I rebooted, it worked. But soon after I realized that something is causing the iPod to crash and reboot every 2 minutes. I was in bed, at 12:00 in the morning, so of course I wouldn't risk getting on the computer and get caught by my parent.
I headed back into iFiles, copied the backup files to the /System/ folder of the iPod. In attempt to replace the deleted files before the iPod rebooted, I accidentally renamed the most critical system folder on the iPod. iPod reboots right after I realized my mistake.
Oh dear. Recovery mode. [It tells you to connect to iTunes]. Oh Jesus...
I stayed up all night, made a topic on iFans, no one could help me. They all said to restore my iPod, but I had too much stuff on there not synced to iTunes. After Google-ing for a way to access the file system in DFU/recovery mode, tried them all, downloaded a bunch of softwares, none of which worked. I lost hope. Right before I went to restore my iPod, I thought, maybe talking to one of the famous iPhone hackers would help.
I immediately went on Twitter and contacted Saurik, comex, and chpwn.
Only comex replied.
At first he said it was hard, but possible, so I thought that he would automatically ignore my shout for help. But I was wrong.
My hopes got up again when he asked for my iOS version, the generation of my iPod, and if I am using Windows or Mac. I thought he was onto something.
After almost an hour of anxious waiting, he gave me a file. He said he modified the redsn0w, and it should rename the folder back, but has never been tested. I crossed my finger and went ahead and do it.
After seeing a bunch of commands running on my iPod touch screen, I felt so alive. And after a minute, it went to the lock screen. I was shocked! My iPod touch and all my data might be saved after all!
It worked! I thank deeply to comex, the nicest, FAMOUS iPhone hacker, I have ever met. You'd think that famous people just ignore random cries for help, but not comex. He saved me.
THE END
