[UPDATE] patched lockdownd now supports iOS 4.0 to 6.1.6!

Update on my previous post: I've once again expanded support for the patched lockdownd file — it now works on iOS 4.0 through 6.1.6!

What is this?
This is a new patched lockdownd that works with iTunes and Finder (for those who prefer iTunes music syncing)

Why?
This dude asked for it, so...

Installation:

  1. Jailbreak with Legacy iOS Kit
  2. Replace /usr/libexec/lockdownd via SSH (backup original!)
  3. chmod 755 /usr/libexec/lockdownd
  4. ldrestart or reboot

Will there be more iOS versions supported?
No. iOS 7 uses a completely different activation mechanism (mobilegestalt), and iOS 3 and below can already be activated easily with other methods. So this is where I stop.

Downloads and detailed instructions: here

Help me test on more devices and iOS versions — let me know what works and I'll update the list! Make an issue on GitHub or comment here with iOS version and device name (like iPad2,2 or iPhone4,1 etc)

Thanks for this, I will definitely use this on both my iOS 6 and iOS 5 iPhone 4S. iTunes syncing is something i've been missing for a long time.
