I want to restore my iPhone, and before I do I want to take all my cycorder vids off it and have them on my PC, I can copy my photos by browsing the iPhone from my computer, and iam using the handy funambol app for my contacts. Just need the vids off.
 
Search how to SSH. 🙂

Then, once you've learnt how to SSH go too: /private/var/mobile/Media/Videos 😀

Edit: Here is how to SSH the iPhone.
 
Cheers, I have SSH'ed in the past but that was a while ago. Is there anyway you can keep all your JB apps?
 
Just copied my DCIM file and ive got all my photos but each photo has a file called IMG_0001.THM IMG_0002.THM etc 😕

whats this all about?
 
I believe that's what you see in Cycorder. You know when you're in the app and have the videos displayed? I think that those files are what is shown there, as a sort of 'preview' of the video.

Hope that clears things up.

Indeed there is, search AptBackup in Cydia. when you run the app you can backup all your JB apps. When you sync with iTunes a file is placed in your backup, which contains a list of the apps. This is JB data, but WONT be wiped off like all other JB data. When you want your apps back, restore your backup onto the phone, download AptBackup again, and there's an option to restore all JB apps.

Also see AppBackup for the same, but with official apps. 😀

The DCIM folder only has my photos in it, the vids are elsewhere mate

I can only find AppBackup mate-in Cydia. Cant see AptBackup? 😕

Ignore, found it!

So how do you restore your backup? If you wipe you iPhone, as I want to restore my iPhone
 
Okay, here's how:
  • Use AptBackup and backup JB apps
  • Sync (backup) your iPhone to iTunes
  • Do your restore
  • Update, jailbreak again or whatever
  • Restore your backup (The iTunes one) onto the Phone
  • Install AptBackup
  • Restore your apps. 🙂

I can't quite remember if you get AptBackup first, then restore your iTunes backup, or restore your iTunes backup, then install AptBackup. I don't think it matters really.

No. the videos are in /private/var/mobile/Media/Videos, which is where i told him to go in the first place. Cycorder just saves an image from the video as a 'preview'.

Can you open them on your computer? I'm still pretty sure it's the preview picture of the video.
