I jailbroke my iPhone 3GS a few days ago using purplera1n RC2 and everything is working fine but whenever I try to add new bookmarks in Safari it goes to 'add to homescreen' instead. This has only started happening since I jailbroke using purplera1n.

Is anyone else having this problem?

I have the same equipment (1st release date 3GS) and i have no problems with the bookmarks. do you still have the "add bookmark" & "add to home screen" options? and your choosing the right one and it still goes to home screen?

Thank you for your reply. Yes I have both options available but they both take me to the "add to homescreen". I have tried with different websites and I have tried rebooting several times but it still stays the same.

Do you have any advice? should I try to restore and re-jailbreak using purplera1n (or even redsn0w)?

Thank you for your help - it is very much appreciated :)

I JB with purplera1n and the only issue i have is that i when i open safari (this only happens every so often) it clears the pages that were open and then opens my bookmarks.

Has anyone tried SSH'ing into their iPhone and deleting the Bookmarks.plst file??

I can't SSH into my 3GS. I tried the 2 passwords but cant get into my iPhone.

Thats Odd..

Yea iDunno if ur using WinSCP or what exactly ur using for a SSH program, but I use DiaskAid, and I jailbroke using RedSn0w...Many users are having the same problem (Bookmarks only adding icons to home screen) using the Purplera1n jailbreak...just give it time...I hope it does not happen to you...but other reports are saying otherwise...I just wonder if it is fixable?!?!

Still No Fix!!

I Have a Jailbroken iPhone 3GS and it had been jailbroken with RedSn0w...it has the same problem...has anyone found a fix to this problem????

Also here is two other links for another place on the web talking about the same issues!!

1.) Whirlpool - "3GS Safari bookmark problem."

2.) ModMyI - "3GS Safari bookmark problem!"

Search both in Google...they are first 2 links (Since I cannot post links yet)

I have Been working on trying to fix this all day..I uninstalled:

iBlacklist
SBSettings
FontSwap
Winterboard
Winterboard Settings
Rock App
Rock Extensions
MyWi
(All Themes and everything else to do with Winterboard)
FiveIconDock
FiRows
Realistic Haptic Vibration 1.2
Stack V3
And So On...


I have no Idea what the problem could be..My friend and I both have similar apps installed and both jailbroke using Redsn0w 0.8...We both have the same issues...I cannot figure it out...has Anyone tried deleting the Bookmarks.plist?? I will try next...most likely with no luck...Please ANYONE..if you have any luck get back to me on one of these 3 forums!! Thanks!!

I jailbroke a one week old 3gs/32g phone last night to port to TMO. No issues at all that I can find so far and no issues with Safari and bookmarks.
