Anywy to check if my KV is still jail broken?
Some context first:
I'm on 5.12.1 fw so no jail breaking possible. But it occurs to me that my KV might already be jaibroken. I'm at a loss as to how to check this. Here's why I think all might not be lost: So I used to have my KV jail broken long ago with kual and & co installed. I'm a bit nebulous on details but at the time I think I left some startup option enabled. Maybe it was usb networking. Anyway, an OTA update came, disabled that, and my KV was bricked with a "Your device needs repair" message. No amount of resetting helped. In the end I put a file named DO_FACTORY_RESTORE in the root as instructed here (originaly I found the russian site). After a reboot/reset everything was fine and dandy. Do you think jailbreak might have survived that process? How could I check? Thanks in advance! |

Install the hotfix. If it fails, you're screwed. Which you probably are, because:
Depending on the exact age of your original JB, either the factory reset or the OTA update alone would have been the JB's doom. A combination of both essentially assures you've wiped it. |
