Yes, we know. Frenchies drink wine, not beer.

P.S. Last time I ate frog legs was about one nine weeks ago.

You want, I could fix up your avatar with a "non-alcoholic" notice on the glass.

Error message: Mug breaks leaving only the handle and the coded error number.

@knc1: Hey! I didn't say non-alcoholic, I just said no wine & no beer... that leaves a lot of stuff to choose from .

On a more on topic note, I just switched the version tag on the simple usbnet package to 1.1.N, to avoid confusion with Yifan's original package .

@NiLuJe: Umm... I understood the MD5 message. I may have looked a bit dumb the last time when it was about compiler internals (and I freely admit that), but I'm able to recognize an MD5 sum when I see one.

The "Huh!" was meant to say "if they are both the same files, then why would NiLuJe's work differently than mine?" - and that was what all the rest of the post was about. But of course, I still don't understand why you don't eat all of those delicious french foods!?

[NiLuJe]

@ixtab: Yeah, I realized that's what you probably meant when I finished writing the answer... Oh, well . Might help someone else understand .

That led me to the PEBKAC conclusion, because the script is so very simple (and atomic, if it switched usbnet, it switched iptables too), that it's either that or a volumd/pmond quirk .

That stuff tastes like, well, nothing! It's all in the seasoning! I could just 'eat' straight gravy, same effect ^^.

Now, foie gras (duck/goose liver), on the other hand... That, I love ^^.

Oh my... did you ever have good seafood, like oysters, caviar, lobster, or scallops? You'll never say that again.

Yummy... too

Tried uninstalling and then once again w/simple_usbnet_1.1, confirmed PEBKAC. sorry for false report. md5sum doesn't lie, of course.

Anyway, thx again.

No beret??! Ah, whatever. But... do you own paints and gloves to make at least a semi-authentic miming performance?

Hi,
I can't install the usbnetwork, it says error:3. The jailbreak was fine.
I have a Touch 5.1.2.
Thanks.

[twobob]

choose install update. rather than restart device

[engnrd]

Wow, thank you so much for making this so simple! This was easier than rooting my android phone.

Thanks a lot, it worked.

I don't know if this is the right place, but let me ask you about the backup. Finally after much work I could do the .bin backcups, but I'm not sure if I did it right, because they don't have a single byte.

This is what I get from command line

nc -l 31337|dd of=mmcblk0p1.bin
nc: bad address '-l'
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0B) copied, 0.049855 seconds, 0B/s

nc -l -p 31337|dd of=mmcblk0p1.bin
BusyBox v1.17.1 (2012-07-17 16:29:54 PDT) multi-call binary.

Usage: nc [IPADDR PORT]

Open a pipe to IP:PORT

0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0B) copied, 0.015152 seconds, 0B/s

Thanks.

Forget the thread you found those directions in - no netcat required for backups.
Instead install the USBnetworking (from top post) and make your backups via ssh.
