One of the known issues with a hacktivated iPhone running iPhone OS 3.0 or later is that the Push Notification feature doesn’t work. The iPhone Dev Team had released a fix to resolve the issue back in July, but it had a major flaw.
There is finally some good news for all those who have been patiently waiting for a fix as Push Doctor has just been released on the Cydia Store to fix the push notification issue.
Push Doctor has been developed by anethema. It gives you genuine activation certificates unlike other workarounds, and they are always unique.
The fix is available on the Cydia Store for free. Here are the installation instructions:
Please remember hacking your iPhone could void its warranty. So please proceed with caution and at your own risk and don’t forget to take a backup of your iPhone (refer to this post for more details).
Simply add the NERV repository: http://cmdshft.ipwn.me/apt/ to your Cydia sources.
Search for the package called "Push Doctor".
Install it and push notification should start working on your hactivated iPhone.
Please note:
This is NOT an application you run from SpringBoard or command line. It does all the work immediately while Cydia runs. If you install this to fix push, and you decide to uninstall the package it will not remove the push fix. Reinstalling will delete your “old” certs and install new ones. You will not notice any difference, however.
If the fix doesn’t work then it could be because the server is out of unique certs due to high demand. The developer has advised users to try to reinstall the package later or the next day to fix the issue.
If you still plan to try it out then let us know how it goes. If you need support, join #pushfix on chat.osx86.hu.

About time. Now all we need is the 3.1.3 unlock.
Finally, can't wait to download. Great job anethema.
I'm with you.
Did a search for "Push Doctor" and it found nothing
Follow the installation instructions and you should be able to find the package.

yeah I know and then it errored and wont uninstall or reinstall so no go for me
Getting errors while installing this from cydia.
Errors stupid shit WTF !!!
thanks i did but it wont install properly. script errors
What's this about push notification not working??? Its been working fine for me. Is the error only for the Dev Team hack? I used blackra1n.
yeah, it's working for me too. and I used blackra1n. I guess it's probably for those who used Dev Team hack.
I agree! It should take off the crap after enabling push!!
I dont want to waste my disk space and drain my battery!
I had to restore my phone please snowbeeze work because if this shite spp it would not install then I restarted phone cydia would open then quickly shut staying well clear of this now idiots
People don't do research. The reason it errors is because it's out of certs. It happened to me like 5 times beforeit finally worked for me. You have to keep trying until more certs ate made. Understand the these certs are in high demand.
If you used BlackRa1n, you don't need it
if you used Dev Team JB, you might do
I used this just 2 days ago on my Iphone 3gs unlcoked and jailborken using Blackra1n and it stopped my WIFI from working.
my unblocked iphone 3g got blocked again after i reset network settings. it's frozen on black start up screen with Apple sign. all i can do is turn it off,using the sleep/off and home key. it doesn't react if i connect it to my laptop. what can i do?
Push notification issue is a big deal for jailbroken iphones, but I have been using a way around it for some time now. After jail breaking nd unlocking my iphone I insert a official career sim (in my case O2) and wait for it to get activated. Once my phone is activated I insert my other sim and push notification starts to work. I have been using geohots "Blackra1n" and there was also an issue with Youtube application but by activating it with an official sim I do not have any such issues. Please feel free to try, it will work.
Run Blackra1n again to reboot
sounds like a 3Gs JB & unlock to me
After rebooting via Blackra1n, re-run the unlock but be prepared to run Blackra1n again to reboot
HTH
I am running 3.1.2 on a 2g with Pwnage Tool dev team hack. It didn't fix my push or give me a good cert and now Cydia keeps crashing when i boot into it. I've tried rebooting. What should I do? Is restore my only option?
sounds like a reasonable way. but, do you lost it after you turn it off and on again with THE OTHER SIM in?
i think there is something wrong with this hack (push doctor) cauz when i tried to install it never finish the installation and blacked out and upon reboot when i try to run cydia it's keep crashing. so definately some thing wrong with this hack. plz help.
It fukin blows.. Doesn't work on any of my friends phone either
So don't download this crapp
wack
hey just food for thought why do we always keep messing with our iphone's I know its fun but i guess leave well enuff alone, if you got your unlock working these cydia apps are mostly junk! really how many themes and stupid apps do u need 1 maybe. I am on 3.1.2 with T-mobile and happy just my 2 cents
It works perfectly fine, no matter which SIM I put in.
I have a 3g[s] running 3.1.2 JB blackra1n, and I have no issues with the push, everything is good
WOW!!! Its more than a year I've been looking for this fix!!! It worked right away on my iPhone 3G running OS4.0 jb with so0wbreeze using ultrasn0w. Thanks you so much!!!!
I just tried this on my iPhone 2G that's jailbroken sn0wbreeze and it doesn't appear to have worked. It gave several errors and then Cydia continued to explain about it being "half installed" until I ignored it.
So it looks like a no go for this one.
worked for me like a champ, finally i can use trapster
I tried but it's not working with my iPhone 4 on iOS 4.1, was fine when I'm on iOS 4.0.2.
Even I restored my phone without jailbreak, notifications also not working, why is it like this? Someone help thanks
i tried it on iphone 4 ios 4.1 and not working, i even reinstall YM, Facebook, etc with no luck
I4′s shouldnt have this problem. try using redsn0w to jailbreak. or redo it with whatever you used.
Does Push Doctor work for IPhone 4, OS 4.2.1?
SAM didn’t work on my iPhone 3G(S) with iOS 4.2.1. So on a whim I decided to try this, and it worked like a charm!
Pingback: Does Pwn 4.2.1 change the process for a 3GS going to OS 4.2.1? - ModMyi Forums
Tested on iPhone 3GS iOS 4.3, Sn0wbreeze Jailbreaked and ultrasn0w unlocked.
