Apple Disabling Siri Ports on older iPhones/ How to fix it

Siri-iphone 4

There has been a  way of porting Siri to the iPhone 4 for a while now where you use Spire and use a remote server for Siri. If you want to know more information about installing Siri check our “install Siri for iPhone 4 Guide”. This has been a perfectly legal way of getting Siri on your iPhone 4. However there seems to be a new problem arising with this Siri port…

We have been receiving reports that people are having issues with their Siri port on non-iPhone 4S devices. This is due to the addition of SiriActivationToken. This is an addition from Apple in an attempt to stop people from using Siri on unauthorized devices. this may be the beginning of another cat and mouse game between hackers and Apple.

For now, as of February 14th, 2012,  you can fix your Siri port by simply deleting the file: “com.apple.assistant.plist” .This will be located under the  the directory: var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.assistant.plistIn order to find and delete this file you will need to have a ssh client or iFile (or something similar), this will allow you to navigate to the file location in order to delete it.Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...
