First of all do you know what PdaNet is? Well basically if Google brought you here, you do, cause this is what you’ve been searching for. But please be patient and let me do a short description for all the people that have no idea:
PdaNet got popular with Windows Mobile and PalmOS. And now its here for your iPhone. What does it do? Well it allows your laptop or desktop to go online (wireless) by connection it to the iPhone via Wi-Fi.
So , if you browse through cydia, you will find PdaNet ( attention : there are 2 versions ). But they are not free. So in order for you to patch it, and break free from all of the restriction that you get with the free version , you got to do this :
- Download Patch here
- Install PdaNet 1.4.0 from Cydia ( MAKE SURE ITS 1.4.0 )
- SSH into iPhone
- Navigate too /var/stash/Applications.XYZWAHF/PdaNet.app/ ( XYZWAHF means that you will need to find the wierd named folder where PdaNet.app is )
- Overwrite the PdaNet folder with the one from the link.
- Set the permissions to 0755
- Reboot iPhone/iPod for patch to take effect

Step 5 makes no sense considering that you cannot “overwrite” “Overwrite the PdaNet folder with the one from the link.”
Can you can it in a way that works ? Thank you
November 20th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
@ matt : why it doesent make any sense? if it doesent make sense to overwrite the folder, so everything is put in order with ease, than just find the file in that folder and overwrite it. “Can you can it in a way that works ?” you lost me here
November 20th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
the original folder is FULL of files, the one I download from you has 1 file. If I “overwrite” the pdanet FOLDER I will end up with 1 file in the folder instead of many files. Also, you cannot overwrite something that has a different name (ie original folder is pdanet and your version is pdanet 1.4
November 20th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
I think you meant to say overwrite the pdanet file on the phone (which is INSIDE the pdanet folder when you install pdanet1.4) with the on inside the folder downloadable here.
It is NOT the folder that you need to replace, its the file called pdanet WITHIN the folder.
November 20th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
@ matt : if you got in point A a folder that contains 1 file and in point B a folder that contains X no. of files…. when you are trying to copy folder from point A over the folder from point B it will ask you to overwrite. BECAUSE… the only file from point A folder exists already in the multitude of files from point B folder. SO IT WILL OVERWRITE JUST THAT FILE, NOT THE ENTIRE FOLDER. If, they dont have the exact name, doesent matter, like i said before : look whats inside the folder that u have downlaoded from the link. Find the files on your phone and overwrite them
November 20th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
I have left the folder alone and simply replaced the “pdanet” FILE within the floolder and its works perfect. Thanks you for the file !
P.s I did not change the original folder whatsoever, only the file inside it called pdanet

November 21st, 2008 at 5:35 am

November 21st, 2008 at 5:36 am
Thanks murda
November 21st, 2008 at 5:37 am
@ matt : np dude, my pleasure
November 24th, 2008 at 1:04 am
in doing this i realized that i have some duplicate folders, for example /var/stash/Applications.XYZWAHF vs just “/var/stash/Applications”. I also have duplicates of a few other directories here too. This may be a result of having used quickpwn on 2.1 and then again with 2.2. Does anyone have any more information about these duplicate folders? I noticed that my /Application (at the root level) is a symlink to Applications -> /var/stash/Applications.mlAyEO/…
November 24th, 2008 at 1:11 am
@ scott : yes it is the same path. chances are that you dont have duplicate folder/or you dont have that many duplicate folders. About 2.2 i dont know dude…. too many peeps are reporting sooo manny bugs and problems with FW 2.2 i dont even want to upgrade for now. i will wait
November 27th, 2008 at 1:21 am
Awesome work dude, I’ve been poking around in the binary recently too.
Did you do it by overriding the info.do call?
November 27th, 2008 at 1:24 am
@ Koudelka : i didnt do do this, and i dont use it. I just found stuff and share. 99% of them are useful to me , and i think they will be useful to somebody else, so they end up on my blog. The rest of 1% is what people ask me to help them with…… So dont give me any credit for cracks and patches and all this. Give me the credit for finding and sharing, that i will accept
November 29th, 2008 at 3:23 am
I’m sorry I can’t figure out what or where I should put permission 0775 and what does it changes… I overwrited the pda file already but and I have access to everything on net but I just installed PdaNet like 2 days ago… so I just don’t know if I am cool with it… Please help with that permission thing!
Thanks alot!
November 29th, 2008 at 7:07 am
@ 3r4s3r : dude, thats simple. Just SSH into your phone and right click on the folder. Click on optoin or properties and there you will have permisions. Where it says octal just type 0775. click ok and thats it.
PS : sorry for the delay
much love

I’ve been messing around with this for awhile and cannot find the PdaNet folder anywhere in my iphone. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled PdaNet to no avail! Maybe someone has some suggestions on how to make the folder more accessible!
Thanx for any help!
March 10th, 2009 at 3:25 am
@ Maree: Cydia says: " The indicated repository could not be found" Any other bright ideas as to getting 1.4?
March 10th, 2009 at 3:34 am
dude you do not add that as a source in cydia. there you can find all the .deb files from the modmyi cydia source. like you open it in a browser. you can get the pdanet.deb file from there, but it's not cracked….
