Push Notifications on hacktivated 2G iPhone

UPDATE 8: It’s working!

Woehoe, DevTeam have made a fix for the Push Notifications for 2G users.

I’ve made a quick guide for people not knowing so much of Terminal, inject and you do not need an activated iPhone:

1. Download : http://rapidshare.com/files/252172112/PushFixPack.zip and unzip.

2. Copy youtube-cert.bin , youtube-key.bin, push-cert.bin, push-key.bin, inject, nimble via SSH to /private/var/Keychains and set permissions of inject and nimble to 755. (You change permissions in Cyberduck (Mac) by right clicking and then clicking ‘Info’. Windows users can use Filezilla or chmod.)

3. Make a copy of keychain-2.db and store it somewhere on you hard disk. Make sure that there is no keychain-2.db in /private/var/Keychains, because we’ll make a new one with ./inject

4. Run inject : Open Mobile Terminal on iPhone (download in Cydia) and type :

cd / (make sure there is space between cd and /)

then: cd /private/var/Keychains
then: ./inject

5. You see your iPhone will do some stuff and some letters will scroll.

6. Close Mobile Terminal

7. Delete the app you want to use with push (Beejive)

8. Reboot

9. Reinstall the app (Beejive), you will also have to re-enter your WiFi-password.

10. Test Push!

- youtube-cert.bin

- youtube-key.bin

- push-cert.bin

- push-key.bin

Push Notifications are working! 11. Re-enter all the passwords: mail, WiFi, …

UPDATE 7!

BigBoss reports problems with the 2G Push Notification and says:
“Push is broken if you hacktivated your phone (2G or 3G)”
“To get push working on your iPhone 3G, you must activate with any AT&T Sim” = only 3G!
“No known push fix for the iPhone 2G”

Activating with any AT&T sim only works for 3G iPhones and NOT for 2G iPhones afaik.

If you have a 2G and succesfully receive Push, please comment and answer my mail afterwards.

I don’t have any more updates. If you do (contact with devteam or Bigboos,…) let me know in the comments.

UPDATE 6!

UPDATE 5!

UPDATE 4!

UPDATE3!

@theoneneo has contacted @planetbeing (a member of the DevTeam):

@theoneneo
Are you guys aware of the Push Notification Service bug in combination with iPhone 2G+Pwnage Tool? Thanks http://bit.ly/dlGKJ

@Planetbeing:
No, we actually didn’t. o.o we had a lot of problems with YouTube too so this isn’t that surprising.

At least they know about it now…

UPDATE2!

I’ve installed Redsn0w on my iPhone 2G. I’m still not receiving any push notifications on 2G Hacktivated iPhone.

UPDATE!

I’ve Pwned my iPhone 2G with Pwnage (Jailbreak) to the new 3.0 software and still no Push Notifications!!

The pop-up is gone, but I’m not receiving any push notifications.

Someone with a 2G who’s got it working?

Problems with the update to OS3.0

Users with a “hacktivated” iPhone 2G, that is not officially activated with AT&T, O2, … can not use Push notifications.
You get this pop-up, telling you to connect to iTunes.

“Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications”

If you connect to iTunes and try it again it won’t work. A reboot doesn’t help either.

Another problem is YouTube not working, but DevTeam is aware of this and will fix it.

I hope they will also fix this push notifications-problem !!!

UPDATE! Look what Big Boss replied to me on the forum of DevTeam :
