thanks for the screenshots. it’s always easier to follow.
Can’t find the root folder. I’ve got a 3GS on iOS 4.1 jailbroken with Limerain and with Winterboard installed…
Help please!
same as hans
Hey hans and kaunghtet18. The reason you cant see the root folder is because you need a little package from Cydia called, afc2add. This allows you to access this folder. Its a tiny little package in Cydia. Just search it and download it. This should solve your problems
It won’t let me drag
