Open Cowabunga Lite or Nugget, and connect your device. Make sure to disable Find My and iCloud Backup on your device. If you haven't already, take a moment to read the important notes. Make sure to back up your device before making any changes, so you have a safe copy of your data just in case.
Go to the status bar section and enter your custom carrier name under "Change Primary Carrier text." You can also customize the service badge text, turn on Wi-Fi RSSI in the status bar (note: RSSI is only shown in the control center), and there are some more customization options.
For Nugget, navigate to the "Settings" section and make sure "Skip Setup" is turned off to preserve your configuration profiles. For additional guidance, refer to the Nugget FAQ. Then, go to the "Apply" section and click "Apply Changes." Your device will display "Restore in progress." Once it restarts, you’ll be taken to the setup screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.
For Cowabunga Lite, go to the 'Setup Options' section and turn it off to keep your configuration profiles. Then, go to the 'Apply' section and click 'Apply Changes' (or 'Apply Tweaks' if you're using macOS). Your device will show 'Restore in Progress.' Once it restarts, you'll see the setup screen. Just follow the instructions to complete the setup.
if you see the "Apps & Data" page with the "do not transfer data" option, select it and continue following the remaining steps.
If you're on iOS 17.2 or higher, you will encounter a new page during setup named "iPhone Partially Setup". On this screen, you'll find two options at the bottom: "Erase and Start Over" and "Continue with Partial Setup". Please select the option below, NOT the first one.
