iPad Optimum4iPad detects JB

[nroz]

Got this today when logging in to Optimum for iPad. The image says "It appears that this device is running an unauthorized modified version of Apple OS. Pls install latest OS update to use this app". This is much like the TWCable app a few months back detecting JB. That thread suggested reverting to old version, but I remember this app won't allow me to login unless I upgrade to version 2.0. Now there is 2.0.7 waiting in the AppStore.

Any workarounds?

same here >< ughhh this sucks. It appears after you input your login info and try to login

Was this from updating the optimum app or is this coming from the server side?

its not the app, i didn't update

 

[nroz]

I was using the same app before this up to last week without problems, and only today did the message appear after trying to log in. Maybe it's server side. Maybe there was a dormant code with the last update I got a few months back.

the TWC app had the same check, i was reading the posts and someone made a fix for it with the install of a deb file, and i think there was an IPA that included the fix already. So hopefully someone will make one soon for optimum as well

Same issue here need a fix

Just opened my app that was working fine last night and I got that stupid message. Please some one help with a fix screw cablevision. This is total bull.

Same here!!! Please someone find a fix!

same here. Was working Monday night, and then yesterday was NOT. I know i didn't update the app overnight! But I'm also reading the reviews from the App store about the latest update is causing widespread issues with crashing, so maybe they will fix it and remove this dopey JB check.

Found Fix!

I verified this worked on my iPhone have not tried on my iPad yet.

Install iFile. (in cydia)
Then open up iFile, goto this path location:
/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist

Edit the SystemVersion.plist using iFile. Change Product Build Version to "8L1" and the Product Version to "4.3.5" (no quotes) as seen below.

<key>ProductBuildVersion</key>
<string>8L1</string>
<key>ProductVersion</key>
<string>4.3.5</string>

Save and reboot phone!

Will try on iPad tonight! iPhone seems to be working fine! I could log into the Optimum app with no more error message about unauthorized iOS warning.
I am currently running Jailbroken iOS 4.3.3

***************************************************************

Sorry guys thought I had a fix :-(

Maybe someone smarter then me will fix!

Not a Fix for 4.3.3

hey Spenillo, i tried your fix, but keep getting the same result. i have a ip4 running 4.3.3 jb with jailbreakme. there must be something else the server is looking for. let me know if i can help. i really need a fix for this as my cablebox is in another room.

 

[nickrinaldi]

I tried the above method with my phone but I still get the same error when logging in the optimum app. But my current os is 4.2.1 so maybe I need to put something different In the file for my os?

 

[spenillo]

I guess my fix didn't work. Sorry...Tried to log into Optimum app and got that annoying message again... Someone will find a fix for it!

I hope!

 

[greenbeard]

Don't give up!!

Dont give up Spenillo, theres gotta be something else that the server is looking for, like writing unsigned code or something. I've tried changing udids, rebooting, hard resetting, nothing. Do you have a packet sniffer? Does it still work on your iPhone?

 

[greenbeard]

Just another reason to leave Optimum as far as I'm concerned.

 

[nickrinaldi]

i dont event care bout the live tv, i just like to set my dvr damn it

 

[greenbeard]

I don't care about the live tv either, I use it as my only remote control. Now I'm going to have to get a new cable box because my IR receiver is broken.

 

[mhsoofi]

screw optimum

hopefully someone will figure out how to fix this

 

[greenbeard]

Does anyone know who restored functionality to the TWC app? Maybe they could easily do the same to the Optimum app?

Not sure if this helps, but the deb in this reddit page works for the iPhone

Here's the deb:

[kalex]

Tried it on ipad, doesn't seem to work

 

[nickrinaldi]

Installed deb in ifile. Resprung. But it didn't work on my iPhone

 

[Dragonsoul4826]

Worked for me

Thank you so much

The Deb worked for me.

I installed it with Ifile and the Rebooted the phone.

I will try it later on my Ipad to see if it works.

Again thank you

 

[nickrinaldi]

i did it again and rebooted phone instead of resprung but it still gives me the error when trying to log in. maybe its cause i'm on firmware 4.2.1 ?

 

[greenbeard]

.deb worked for me!! Thank you!! Its really nice to have a remote control again!
