This is how you get rid of the rick rolled iphone background, applied by the ikee virus

This one worked for me! Had to also download iphone explorer, so that i didnt have to spend about 30minutes typing into the mobile terminal app, but that one works as well.

Today a friend of mine and my girlfriend's jailbroken iphones were hit with an SSH virus, first the background changes and the phone freezes, upon restart the background is a picture of Rick Astley with the words "ikee is never going to give you up" at the top of the screen, trying to change your background will revert back to this background. I had SSH turned off on my own iPhone and it hasn't hit me.

If you have the "ikee is never going to give you up" virus here is how to get rid of it.

Step 1, change your SSH password, make sure you change the mobile password and root password and don't forget the password lol, do this even if it hasn't happened to you yet as it will stop it ever happening to you.

Step 2, to remove the ikee wallpaper you will need to SSH into your phone and delete \var\mobile\Library\LockBackgroung.jpg then reboot. You can probably do this through mobileterminal from step 1 if you know how to use unix, but I don't.

ps. Apparently this has also happened to people who haven't jailbroken, the only way to get rid of it would be to jailbreak and do the above steps, or wipe it back to factory and restore.
