ECID or iBEC/iBSS or both?

**bob808** · 08-08-2009 02:35 PM

I just got a 16gb 3gs and before jailbraking and unlocking was going to take a copy of the iBEC and iBSS information for future unlock!

I was looking at the grabber for iBEC and iBSS and see that the same site has one for an ECID for purplera1n.

Do I need all 3 of these, or just the iBEC and iBSS files to help futureproof my phone?

Thx

I got all 3 just to be safe

I know what the purpose of backing up the iBEC/iBSS is, and they should be sufficient for future jailbreaks (providing that iBoot is actually able to boot the future OS... which is extremely likely anyway

). What the ECID backup gotten from purplera1n does I have no clue. But, like dayloon, I've saved mine as well. You know, just in case... it's not like it's hard work

I tried grabber for the ECID, didn't work. Kept giving me an error. so I gave up... I manually got my ibss and ibec keys from the temp dir in windoze.

I ONLY have the iBec and iBss keys.
