Verifying Restore with Apple servers...What is that?

[xultar]

I noticed while jailbreaking that there are messages saying verifying restore with Apple servers. Anyone know what that is all about and how that can impact jailbreaking?

What were you jailbreaking with redsn0w?

I think that is part of the restore process only and not part of the jailbreak process. This shouldn't be an issue as long as you use the correct supported jailbreak/unlock tools for your firmware.

Yes but this happens whenever I do a restore whether I'm jailbreaking or not.
Makes me feel like Big Brother is hot on my tail.

Makes me think they are keeping tabs on me and trying to figure out if I'm jailbreaking. It truly wierds me out.

I don't think that is what they are doing. What it could be is verifying that the download is complete so you don't brick the phone. If you install a custom firmware (which I have in the past), I do not see this message.

Good to know. Thanks.

Isnt this the whole reason you need to save the ibec/ibss? So in the future, when apple verifies a restore it won't know its jailbroken?

Apple cannot check to see if your iPhone is jailbroken though iTunes.

Thanks I also wondered what this was. Never worried about it though

Currently. If I am understanding it correctly, apple WILL be able to tell on 3.1 if you have the correct IBSS/IBEC files and therefore this is why you need to save them NOW before you go to 3.1
