How To: Bypass The Time Warner Cable App Jailbreak Restriction [FakeTimeWarner]

July 10, 2011 by Jaden Easton-Ellett 34 Comments

If you have been using the Time Warner Cable application on your iPad after Jailbreaking it, you may have realized you are no longer able to use the application. This is because the folks over at Time Warner have decided to build Jailbreaking detection into their application that by default stops Jailbroken users from using the Time Warner Cable application. Engadget received the screenshot shown below that depicts how Time Warner is stopping Jailbroken users from using their application.

While this restriction may have stumped the Jailbreaking Community for a few days a developer who goes by the name of @Crossingman has decided to take matters into their own hands and develop a tweak that can bypass this restriction. FakeTimeWarner (FTW) is now available through Cydia in the BigBoss repo for FREE that will allow you to get past this restriction and use the Time Warner Cable application on your Jailbroken iPad.

Let us know if this tweak allowed you to once again use the Time Warner Cable application on your Jailbroken iPad in the comments section below.

    I was able to see the shows but didn’t hear any sound from any show. Restarted iPad and still didn’t work.

    Worked right out. The guide won’t connect to my cable box, but life goes on. God bless you sir, for your rapid and hard work.

    Thank you SOOO MUCH! This app works like a champ now! Much better than the previous version! To even think Time Warner cable was expecting people to downgrade their device for their app just boggles my mind! Glad I didn’t restore my iPad, thank god I was thinking and google searched it first!

    I’m hoping that if it works on a Jailbroken iPhone 4s, then it might work on my ipod touch – do you have the instructions or can you point me to where they are? Thx

    Awesome! works on my freshly jailbroken Ipad2 running IOS 5.0.1! I previously had used some app called FuckTimeWarner cable when I was running 4.3, but this is so easy, dwl directly from cydia and launch, that’s it. Again Fuck you time warner for preventing me from watching tv on my ipad when I pay $200 a month!!

    Is there a tweak that works with all apps that have the same detection? I’m using Skype and iHomework and they both detect my iphone 5 iOS 6.1 to be jailbroken.

    Any way to remove the airplay limitation and not block video in the TWC app when playing on an ATV?

    February 24, 2013 at 1:55 am

    A little late.. Yes with a tweak on Cydia called Display Out. That is currently the only tweak supported in ios 6.x. The rest only work with ios 5.x. Also unfortunately, Display Out is not free.
