new kate 1.3 crack


step1.
install kate 1.3 from [Only registered and activated users can see links] by using "Installer".

step2.
run the main app of Kate, do the trial, if it said u can not do trial ,u have to find the file named "com.ripdev.kate.plist" in "/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/" folder and delete it. if your kate had expired ,and u can not find your com.ripdev.kate.plist file... cant do this crack at all.


step3.
create a file ,named "valid-date.txt", input single-line date value with format "yyyyMMdd" , save it.
the date is the valid date when kate can be used as trial.
for example, ur kate installed on 05/06/2008,it expired on 05/09/2008, then u can input the date as "20080507",
it means system will lie to kate ,today is 05/07/2008 :)

20080507-> 2008=year , 05= month, 07=day,

copy this file to iphone ,under path /Library/MobileEnhancer/

this step is very important, do it carefully!


step4.

add this source to your Installer: [Only registered and activated users can see links]
refresh and find the "Kate1.3 crack patch" in the "!CNPDA原创破解!"。
install it!!



step5.
go back to SpringBoard. run Kate main App, u will find the added package named "crackA" and "crackz",select them and apply to install.
after install, u have to restart ur iphone.


step6.
finish! be enjoy!

DO EVERY STEP IN ORDER OR IT WONT WORK!!!
If you dont i will not offer any help of any kind!!

nice prog, tried it out with the mentioned crack a few days ago (crack method long appeared on the cnpd webbie). however, experienced intermittant unexpected shutting off of the screen at random (even happened once when i answered a call, and the call ended up being put on hold) and decided to uninstall it, after which the problem was gone. wld have been a great prog and crack if the problem didnt occur.

I went through the entire process until I got stuck installing the actual crack. When I choose to install from Installer it downloads just fine then I get the "Main script execution failed!" error.:suicide:

I am running 1.1.4 jb on a 16GB iPod. I have not previously installed Kate, so expired trial cannot be my problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
i tried to install Kate and after restart, my iphone freezes.
i highly recommend that do not install this program until the bugs are fixed.

for those who had experienced that the iphone freezes, do this:
1. tap and hold the Kate icon. the icons will jiggle
2. press the X button on the top left corner of the icon, then delete. it will prompt whether to uninstall Kate. just select uninstall.
3. after that, the iphone will unfreeze.

This is very important

Any one who wants to install Kate on his iphone must remove Dock application first....the two are not compatible with each other. It will freeze the touch screen and there is no way out except for a fresh restore....i have been through this but a fresh restore to 1.1.4 minus dock works perfectly......and its an amazing application.

ive done all the steps and its working fine

however, in step 3 do i need to change the date to one a few years ahead or use todays date or tomorrows or something?

i ask this because i went into settings, then rip dev and checked the trial period and it still says that the end date is the 17th of this month

i put the date 20080515 in the valid-date.txt btw

regards

hi everybody; I'tried to make hte complete procedure with the expired version of kate and without finding the file com.ridev.kalist.plist.
Then I installed the patch, putted the txt file in the right position. After all these the program ran; before I couldn't open the home page of the program. But I think actually still don't work; the calendar from the lock page is missing and also the other stuff is not working. I've checked the Kate tag under the ripdev preferences and the license period seems over; anyone succeded cracking the expired version? HOw?

Uninstall the whole thing do it in steps..

Go to Kate 1.3 and remove ALL check from the Modules/Packages including "crackA" and "crackz"! This is the correct way of removing Kate 1.3; if you remove Kate 1.3 from the Installer; all the Modules/Packages are still in the iPhone!

Go to Installer and Uninstall the package "Kate1.3 Crack Patch" from CNPDA Category. Uninstall the package "Kate" from "Utilities" or "Rip DEV"? Category.

Return back to the SpringBoard where it will Respring. Turn Off\On (Restart\Reboot) the iPhone and go to the Top of this post and Start the Installation process from the beginning like it was a first time install and this should fix everything.

I've installed kate 1.3 in a new 1.1.4 iphone just unlocked, then I've start it, do apply, then restart iphone, put the valid-date.txt file into the directory said in the op, go to installer, install the crack, go to kate, put on the 2 cracks said above, apply and puff, kate won't work anymore. It's not expired, but simply don't work. The calendar is on, but it's not showed anymore after the cracks....any ideas?

Same problem here too. This crack worked for me during the past month but today i restarted my iPod just to clear the memory and Kate won't work. I can mess with the settings, enable or disable features but they just won't work.

I suppose RipDEV fixed the bug that enabled the crack to work or something?

I was on 1.1.2 for a while because i was scared of losing caterpillar so i never upgraded. I backed up the caterpillar files that was on my 1.1.2 and saved them to my pc with iPhone Browser (WinSCP, cant work it). I completely killed my phone by trying to pwn it. the recovery screen kept turning blue and rebooting. So after many hours I finally got it to restore, then i jailbroke it with ZiPhone. Any way I installed Kate through installer and i then copied all of my backed up files to the iphone and just let everything overwrite everything. I dont know if all the features of 1.3 kate are there (i only cared about privacy and reminder) but all i know is that I didnt pay and it works! i also installed the crack that was in the rip dev category too

28th May 2008, 21:54
i had backed up caterpillar 1.2 and copied it to kate and after that I installed the patch thats in the rip dev folder, the first hack that was made. it worked for me

28th May 2008, 21:58
can u tell me what do u get in the about screen of Kate.

When u go to Settings ==> RiP Dev ==> Kate

what does license Expires says after the Crack?

Also which file browser is it in the screenshots?

lilkcceleb
28th May 2008, 23:03
i have found out that once you open the Kate under the options/Settings that it will expire. I am using file browser. ok try this:

1. Install Kate 1.3 then select what you want it to install
2. Then put these file in ur iphone that are attached. make sure you place them in the right spot
3. Add this to your Installer source if not already added:

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

4. Rename the folder under Applications from Kate to Caterpillar (I Did)
5. Now download the hack from the RiP Dev source and install it
Whatever you do, do not open the Kate/Caterpillar license because it will make it expire

1. First Change Kate.app to Caterpillar.app. Copy The Caterpillar contents to the foldr you just renamed to Caterpillar.app. Do it again in var/Applications/Caterpillar.app
2. Mobile Enhancer folder goes in Library/MobileEnhancer. Copy contents to that directory
3. Drop The RipDev & RipInstall to var/root/Library

Restart Phone and you should be good to go. Remember do not open the license file under Settings>Rip Dev>*DO NOT OPEN CATERPILLAR/KATE*
Hope This Helps You All Wanting Free Caterpillar

thanx for the file

but after i did what u said nothing happened ^______^
i believe that each phone has a unique identification number so this method might not work for all

Hi. Before to apply this crack, is there any easy way to clean up all trace of Kate on my iphone registry?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

i got the solution for all of u

unlimited license that will never expire
^_______________________________^

i found this source in a Russian site that includes the caterpillar with a built in license

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

here is how to do it:

1- remove all previous installation of caterpillar or Kate
2- for those who worked with the backup file you should delete all the files replaced in your iphone because the uninstall will not be good enough
3- after adding the source go to RiP Dev Category and install R.I.P Dev v 2.2
4- then install caterpillar v 1.1.1
5- when done go to your spring board and click on the caterpillar icon
6- choose which applications you want to install
7- after finishing installation restart your Iphone
8- it's recomended that you dont open the caterpillar after that (you can hide it using Poof or HidePod)
9- enjoy ^________________________^

**** I suggest that you dont install smart dialer because it will not work properly but everything else is working just fine

Kate and Caterpillar is not a good program! Once I install it, I have to restore my iPhone. It will make my iPhone Hang, once restart can't on the iPhone anymore. Have to restore it!

Kate alone is quite a very good App.
The problems some users have are often caused by a combination of some Apps. (Bossprefs + Intelliscreen + Kate + ...)
I never had any Problems with Kate!
