2. Launch redsn0w (I am using redsn0w 0.9.9b6 for Windows). Select Extras then Just Boot. If you are on previous versions of redsn0w, Browse for the IPSW file > Next > Check Just Boot Tether.

How to Install Winterboard in iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad Using Cydia

Winterboard is used to install and set different themes and tweaks for your device. You will not be able to install and use the themes if Winterboard is not install. So, let's get started.

Note: I am using iOS 5 Tethered Jailbreak. I cannot just reboot my device after installing Winterboard since it will be stuck on the apple logo, if this happens just boot tether your device again. Or better yet, do not press the Reboot Device option after the installation. Instead, just press the Home button and boot tether your device.

1. Open Cydia. If it is not yet set, select User then Done. Wait for it to finish loading the packages.
2. Select Search option at the bottom.

3. Type Winterboard in the search box at the top part. Select Winterboard.

4. Select Install > Confirm.

 

5. Wait for the download and installation to finish. For users that are on untethered jailbreak, just go and select Reboot Device.  However, for tethered jailbreak users, there are more steps for you. If you reboot the device, it will be stuck on the apple logo. To prevent this, instead of selecting Reboot Device, just press the Home button and then go with the boot tether process. Proceed here to learn how to boot tether your device.

 

You can now install and use different themes and tweaks in your device!

How To Complete Grounded Achievement in Plants Vs. Zombies (iPod Touch/iPhone/iOS)

Grounded
Complete a Roof Level without using any catapult plants



Strategy:

The Potato Mine and the Chompers saved the day! But a lot of Sunflowers are also needed to sustain the cost of the Chompers. The only problem left is the loading of the plants which can be fixed by using the Imitater. This is the full list of plants to be used: Sunflower, Chomper, Potato Mine, Flower Pot, Garlic, Pumpkin, Cherry Bomb, Imitater (Pumpkin).

1. Plant Sunflower on the first row while using the Potato Mine and Squash to kill the first of the zombies. Don't mind the Pea Shooter in the image below, replace it with the Imitater (Pumpkin). You should have planted 5 Chompers on the fourth row before the first flag arrive.

2. Start planting Chomper on the fourth row and continue planting Sunflower on the succeeding rows. Place Garlic on the first and fifth row and put Pumpkin on the Chompers. Use Potato Mine or Squash when the need comes or the Cherry Bomb if there are more zombies to be killed.

3. When the last flag of zombies arrive, replace the Chompers that are still eating with new Chompers so that   they can immediately eat the incoming zombies.

Good Luck! :)
