Ooops, i started on PPC, but can i migrate it over to intel ( im on macbook right now)can i just start from that step?
 
Hello, when I get down to around number 18 or 19 which ever one requires you to type in the "scp" line, I type in that code with my IP Address from my iPhone and the terminal says No such file or directory. Does anyone know why this isn't working? Thanks.

Yep, you should be fine just moving over to an Intel mac - just need to redownload the file, obviously. I've updated the guide to reflect that you need Intel, forgot this caveat.

You probably didn't put the lockdownd file on your Desktop. Make sure the file is on your Desktop and try again.
 
well its ok as long as I can get it back, but one more quick question (as long as it works) if I get it back to 1.1.3 with my att service, can i go back to PPC mac because it has all of my music?

I did put it on the Desktop, when I type in the first chmod line, the icon on the desktop changes from a sheet of paper to the terminal icon then the second line isn't recognized.

Yes, you'll only need to use the Intel mac for that step since the "Run_This" binary is only made to work on Intel macs. After finishing with this guide, you can go back to your other Mac.

Can you copy/paste the exact command and error right out of the Terminal (don't simply type them here)? Thanks.
 
im not to the restoring the cellular service steps yet but i was reading it and it looks like the directions are only for mac users. will it work if im on a pc?

I'm working on updating the steps for PC users, so you'll need to wait a few minutes. The problem is finding a good, free ssh client for Windows since nothing like 'scp' is available by default from the Windows command line.

here is what worked for me man.

type in terminal

chmod +x ~/Desktop/lockdownd
Enter

Then type

scp ~/Desktop/lockdownd root@192.168.1.107:/usr/libexec

enter.

but you have to type your ip address

oh ok well let me kno when u find one
 
I am at the part where you download the last file, but on rapidshare it shows me all these different places to download it from, just wondering, does it matter which one? I choose the first one and it downloaded lockdownd and the icon is just the blank page with a bent corner and same for the rest.
 
Ok thanks I took away the bracketts and it worked now, I have a ? I was one of the iPhones that had 1.1.2 OOTB but this all worked still. I thought it wasn't supposed to work? But if I had a regular Jailed not Jailbroken 1.1.3 yesterday and had my music and everything backed up, then today I downgraded and Jailbroked it all, will it hurt anything to restore it to the back up from yesterday? Thanks.
 
This worked perfectly for my iPod Touch.

But I do not want to do it on my iphone yet - I am hoping the dev team bring out a full proof update shortly and if not Ill try my iphone again when its had a bit more time to settle.

For everyones information I did do nate's method as soon as it was out and it failed on my phone and I had to restore it - so I don't want that hassle again and I don't want to mess with the lockdownd file either!
 
Question--can any of you guys listen to DRM music on your jailbroken phones?I did it to mine, and that was one of the two problems I had. The other one was, even with the lockdownd thing, it took a long time to find the carrier after a reboot, and eventually it just stopped working altogether. Anyone else have similar experiences?

The one thing I do like about this is that its relatively safe--reflashing to stock 1.1.3 is easy, at any point. Just takes forever to reload 6 GB of crap on the phone.
 
I've heard that many of the third party apps don't work on 1.1.3 because Apple altered the way that apps function like the location they run from and stuff. If I follow this guide exactly and complete everything correctly, is this going to happen?

Pretty much by the end of this will I be able to install 3rd party apps using installer and get them to run?
 
It freezes for a bit but it seems to work but now it freezes again when it askes for password, hopefully it wont freeze up to the point where i have to restart my labtop :(


Also, if it freezes, can i restart terminal and re type all of the commands and everything work?
 
PuTTY is pretty much the standard free SSH client for Windows.

do you know if the steps listed in theguide will work on putty?

That's what I ended up going with, mrogers. The guide is now updated for AT&T customers on Windows. :)
dakidgo, you should be fine to proceed now. Let me know if anything doesn't work.

That is one caveat that I just noticed, as you mentioned it. It appears the drama surrounding NateTrue's premature release was a bit justified, then. I had assumed that the ringtone fix in the final step also fixed the problems with music, but I guess I was wrong. This is where the "you're responsible for any changes you make to your phone" provision comes in. :rolleyes:

Ringtones do work with the fix off Installer.app, though, and I haven't encountered the carrier problem.

This works fine on phones that are 1.1.2 out of the box (such as mine). The only thing you cannot do, however, is downgrade your baseband now. You're also fine restoring the back up off of iTunes, it won't mess with your jailbreak.

I choose the first one and it downloaded lockdownd and the icon is just the blank page with a bent corner and same for the rest.

The source on rapidshare does not matter, and the "chmod" line handles the problem with it not being executable.

Some applications that relied on the way things were done in 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 will not work, no (such as Summerboard). As always, you are jailbreaking your phone right after the jailbreak was released - a risky thing. However, there is nothing inherent that makes 3rd party apps in general not work, and Summerboard is the only app so far that I've run into that doesn't work on 1.1.3. Updates for these apps will be out soon enough.
