Hi Davidgary,

I'm noob to IT stuff and have just registered to help my son to help him to revert his BiteSMS to 2.7 as he had unknowingly upgraded it to 3.1.
Being followed the thread and solution offered by you and another forumer. I still do not understand all the terms mentioned in the link. Care to elaborate, possible step by step to what a NOOB should do if I were to use Cydia to perform the task. Hope u can help and understand what I'm try to write.

Once again, thanks in advance. Cheers

@nethdale
recheck your steps again
install mobile terminal and guicache

make sure the file name is correct, the filename in the direction is not correct

Hi Hanxz,

I read this steps by Baretta thr the link:
--------------------------------------------------
deb file for bitesms 2.7

biteSMS.deb


To install on your iPhone :

1. SFTP or SCP your deb file into /tmp
2. SSH into your iPhone with Terminal and type:
dpkg -i /tmp/biteSMS.deb
3. If biteSMS icon not appear, install gUIcache from cydia (u can uninstall later if u dont want this apps)
3. Kawtim
------------------------------------------------------
I don't quite understand what did you mean by check my steps again?
Next u mentioned that install mobile terminal and guicache, are these 2 programs can be found in Cydia and it has to install inside d iphone?
U mentioned file name and etc, may I know what is all these?

As I'm a noob and nut to all these, would appreciate if you treat me like a baby, ie step by step. Thanks for your understanding n being patient to me. Waiting to receive your posting.

Cheers

Hi Davidgary, will try shortly and let's cross my fingers. After deliberate reading and help to ans my queries

Before doing all these things, I've not sync my iphone with my office PC, is that critical?

1) Download the deb file via the link. --- To my PC? I think yes?
2) Download MobileTerminal from Cydia -- To iphone, right?
3) Download DiskAid http://www.digidna.net/diskaid/ - to where? To my PC? done that.
4) Launch DiskAid and select root media(bottom left of DiskAid application) - launch at where? to PC too? Looks like I need to connect my iphone to my PC in order to "select root media'?
5) Use Copy to Device and upload the deb file to /var/root/ - in iphone as well? copy from PC to iphone? Need to go home to take the USB cable
6) Use Mobile Terminal via iPhone - what is this Mobile Terminal? Also in DisAid? Understood this part.

As for the rest instrunctions, I'm still reading it....

1) To PC
2) iPhone
3) To Desktop PC
4) Desktop PC (attached USB cable to iPhone) DiskAid will detect your phone
5) To the iPhone directory or so called folders
6) Launch MobileTerminal via iPhone and type the codes provided earlier.

Hi Davidgary, I'm now at No 4, in the DiskAid, I can see Bitesms 2.7 file on the right hand side under Media but how to get the deb file to /var/root/?


Thanks for your patience and helps.

Hi pls help, it always give me this msg like "errors were occurred when processing biteSMS?" why?

1) Delete the deb file in media by using delete from device option.

2) There's 2 option to select from the left end menu. One is media folder and the other is root folder. Select Root. Select Go Ahead to access root partition.

3) You'll will see the var folder. Click on var and then select the root folder. Use copy to Device to place the deb file.

4) Launch Mobile terminal and enter the codes.

Cheers

[FONT=Arial]Hi there,

Finally got it downgraded to 2.7. Many thanks to all of you. The problem was that I did not type in the exactly file name of the downloaded Bitesms file to my iphone when typing "dkpg -i ....". Will try another set tomorrow.

In fact, I noticed that my colleague's set that the Bitesms app is installed at "stack" "Application" - strange? Anyway, he got his set downgraded as well.

Once again, a big thank you to Davidgary and others.

Cheers

Hi,

there's another method to forward message. that is download Text Message Plus from cydia.

In cydia, under Messages section.......

Enjoy!

after i key in press enter it's the installing will start ?

and text messae plus is free ? or 10days trial only ?

This post has been edited by wee395: Apr 1 2009, 12:27 PM

Free i think. cause i didn't see the word TRIAL only DONATE

already follow the step,but still cannot see bitesms icon showing on my spring board even i install guicache


Attached thumbnail(s)

there's a space after -i

or u put deb file into the wrong folder

try space still cannot i put deb file to /var/root/ i using diskaid to upload.i thing the instruction step is cannot use already

The instructions works well. Hanxz just did it 2 days ago and it works. I know why you got it wrong. You cannot input the codes all at once as per your screenshot. Refer below.

1) Keyin:su root. Press Return
2) password:alpine. Press Return
type:dpkg -i /var/root/biteSMS_2.7.deb. Press Return.
Installation will start.

U guys are missing a lot of things by using the old BiteSMS. The new version have Quick Compose and Quick Reply (which 2 features that i'm addicted to) and the best part, cost just a fraction from iRealSMS.

But thats just my own preferences.
