the new version has an option 3 for 1.0.2 and it downloads the new firmware (and it works).

I wanted to know of those who have updated to 1.0.2... did you have to install the app once again. Did you loose everything? I haven't updated yet.

I believe you have to install the app again and modify anything that you had done before. When installing the update it restores your phone (wiping everything off)
 
Hmm, I can't seem to get it to work and get this error:
Fetching restore zip file from Apple...


curl: (7) Failed to connect to 204.245.162.9: Host is down
unzip: cannot find or open iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore.ipsw.zip, iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore.ipsw.zip.zip or iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore.ipsw.zip.ZIP.

* iPhone Installer Installer v0.1

* Using 009-7698-4.dmg as the Restore Image.
* Using kernelcache.release.s5l8900xrb as the Kernel Cache.

009-7698-4.dmg could not be opened for reading.

Did Apple change the IP to the server or is it really down?

Thanks for any help.
 
It's working for me for 1.0.2. Try it again, I guess. :confused:

You do lose all the hacks when you update, but surely that problem will be solved soon. It's so easy to hack the phone now, though, that it isn't a big deal.

I just tried it again but I got the same output :(
I even downloaded the zip again, just in case something got corrupted.
Any other ideas?
 
Okay I got it to work now but I had to create another user on my computer to get it to work.
Which is very strange, any idea of why it did not work on my main account?
 
Wow, I just typed a huge long reply ... then I hit submit and it gave me some error message. I hit back and what I'd typed was gone. :(

EDIT: Okay fine, I'll type it again ... hold on.

Here it is:

Most likely your network settings. I couldn't tell you exactly what caused that, since I am not sitting at your computer. :) Anyway, glad to see you got it working.

Just a small update, I looked at Installer.app today and there's a new program on it called SendSong. It lists all the songs in your iTunes library (the one on your phone, not on your computer) and you can tap one and a menu pops up with some exciting features. Here's a screenshot:

Should make it easier for people who are scared of the terminal to put ringtones on their iPhone without having to use that terrible software that is iFuntastic. :)

Another thing. Someone was wondering how to connect to their iPhone via SFTP without a Wifi router. No problem. Click on the Wifi icon on the menu bar, go to Create Network... and choose a name. Then connect to that network with your iPhone, and follow the rest of my instructions that are now in the original post. Starting from "tap the little (>) button" or whatever it was I said.

Very simple. :)

I will be posting instructions on how to tether easily later today. Turns out BSD Subsystem installs everything you need to do that too! :D I wish they would add the screenshot binary to BSD Subsystem. :rolleyes:
 
ok, so idk why i cant figure this out...brain fart i guess. but i downloaded launcher, and when i went to download another app (send song) it put it right next to launcher in my home screen!

how do i put it within the launcher app?

It's a side effect of adding new apps to the springboard, they are added in order until the screen fills. You can manually edit the plist file to rearrange the order, and I'm pretty sure there is a frontend (check modmyiphone) in use that will allow you to change the order I just haven't used it so I don't know what its called.

There is a little app that has a work around in Installerapp it's called SBkb, and it moves the Safari button up and into the 4th row in the first column and then you have Installer, Launcher and <first app you install> and everything else goes into the launcher.

I didn't like having only three on the bottom so I deleted it. It also lets you turn off auto-correction in general.
 
GENERAL...


Is there a way to get the Launcher icon to replace the YouTube icon and have all other apps no show up on the main screen besides the stock ones?

EDIT: I guess I would need to Installer to replace Weather as well since Installer does show up in the launcher menu...


Does that make any sense?

I don't know how to make icons not show up. You'd have to delete the applications. So you'd have no YouTube.app, no Weather, and Launcher.app and Installer.app which would be pretty pointless.

That would work but would all the apps I install thru installer show up on the bottom 4 spots or only thru launcher?

Any app you install with installer.app other than launcher will show up at the bottom. I dont think there's a way to hide them ... hold on lemme check something. Fieldtest.app is hidden, so there must be a way.

Yeah, there's a way to do it. It's kind of complicated though ...

In DisplayOrder.plist, there are three sections. buttonBar, iconList and special. In order to hide the applications, you'll need to put each application you want to hide in the special section. If you install all the applications you want and tell me which ones you've installed I can send you a DisplayOrder.plist that will do exactly what you want. Without having to delete YouTube.app or Weather.app. :)

All you'll have to do is stick it in /System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app :cool:
 
I'm not doing any hacking until a nice GUI app for downloading/transferring/managing applications on the iPhone comes out. Someone tell me when it does!

Thanks my man, I really appreciate this!


I have al the standard apps and Installer, Launcher, Lights Off, and VNotes.

I would love for row one to be normal, row two (replace YouTube with Installer and Weather with Launcher), row three normal, row for blank like normal, and the dock normal.

If you could have Lights off, VNotes, Weather, and YouTube show up in Launcher that would be perfect! Let me know if thats possible and let me know if you would like anything in return. Thanks again!!!
 
This should work ... I can't test it on my phone since it would take like 45 minutes uninstalling and reinstalling programs, or adding all of my apps to the list.

If it doesn't work as planned, let me know. I don't need anything in return, I just like to help out a fellow iPhone hacker. :D

let us know if that works. Looks like a pretty good way to go if it does.

General, how do you know what the com.apple.xxx (or other address is) for the ones that are installed, e.g., lightsoff? They stop showing up in my displayorder.plist after launcher is there.

One site told me to make sure there were no spaces in the PDF file name, so I made sure of that...still nothing. Any other detail I might be overlooking?

I'm pretty sure you can't use PDF files with the Books app, only HTML or Text.

The identifier is in *.app/Info.plist

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

Can you show me what you mean by they stop showing up? There may be a wildcard or something that you can use... please post your DisplayOrder.plist
