Help/Support How to crack a game, to be able to edit the binary file using IDA editor?

niekselis · December 18, 2015

Hello there!

I am using an iPhone 4S with iOS 8.4, jailbroken, of course.

There are so many different posts and ways of how to crack/hack a game to edit the binary file using an IDA editor.. Unfortunately I am still at the same point where I was, because it looks like nothing works for me and I still can't disarm the binary file for further adjustments.

Maybe somebody who is not a noob in this cracking thing like I am could possibly put a working solution into one place for me from the beginning to the end or PM me how do I do it? I've been using RastiCrack (and some other app I don't remember at the moment) to crack the game. But then I couldn't remove the ARM from the binary file. LIPO did not work, because "the file must be FAT first in order to make it THIN"..

I am using iGG for quite a long time now and I think it is time to move forward. I see others are unlocking freshly coded characters on MKX mobile as soon as the new update is released, and that makes me eager to go further and do at least the same thing. If they can - I can do it too, but I need a little help from aside, since others are not very friendly in sharing their knowledge I dare to ask for help here.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah same has been happening to my device, when using rasticrac on an armv7/7s device rastricrac has the feature to take out the 64 portion of all binaries for whatever app you are cracking, therefore thinning it. Why? I don't know why, but it saves time for me because I don't have to go through the process cracking and thinning when I can just do it all in one.

It shouldn't be a problem for you. If you are hacking the armv7 portion of the game, now you will always want it thinned for people on next gen devices to use work fine.
