I know this is the wrong forum but since the iPod tocuh is similar to the iPhone, do these mods work on the ipod touch also?
Got a tip for us?

This thread has been a great help in "hacking" my iPhone, thanks a bunch!
However, i seem to having a problem finding a way to access my iphone's root directory using my PC, Filezilla isn't cooperating with me and doesn't seem to accept my network settings.
Is there any other way to about accessing the directory on the phone?
Thanks!

help!
I am having the same problem as above. I have downloaded:
BSD Subsystem
OpenSSH
Summerboard
rSBT
among several other fun items to customize the display and a few games.
My problem is this.
I have ordered a macbook, but in the mean time I am still using my PC - and don't have wifi. I cannot change the order of the icons on the main screen, and somehow have one called "field app" that I don't know where it came from. I am not by any means a computer genius, but I can follow directions. I have gotten this far from reading the last 6 pages, but can't get the Filezilla to work because I don't have wifi. Is there another way to list my iPhone's files, or is there a way to rearrange them on rSBT? I am thrilled to have gotten this far - but know there is so much more I can do. I will have my macbook in about a week, & will wait that long if necessary, but if there's another way that anyone know's of I would really appreciate any help!
I am just getting my feet wet in the apple world, and wish I would have done it years ago. The apple users are great - it's really encouraging to see how everyone helps one another. Thanks for all the info!

Warranty issues?
Okay so I have gotten majorly conflicting information regarding installer.app and apples warranty. Okay, so we all know that apple wasn't intending for 3rd party apps to be developed for the iPhone (at least not yet, anyway). So the question is: does installing this stuff have any effect on apples warranty? Can I bring my phone to my apple store to have it serviced with an NES emulator and appolo chat client installed? My carrier is AT&T so I'm not interested in hacking for another carrier. Just games, graphics packages, stuff to customize my home page, icons, etc.
Anyone have any real insight on this? Tonight i called an apple store and the guy said he didn't know and suggested calling the iPhone support line (at which point they had closed for the night).
Anyway, thanks, guys.

i dunno what happened, i downloaded the app from the link. it ask what firmware i am using so i picked 1.0.2 then it downloaded the firmware or w/e, then it said it was coping files. while this was happening my phone said connect to iTunes, so i did. iTunes said it noticed my phone was in recovery mode and that i had to restore....
did i do something wrong?

Of course it's against the warranty. If you ever have to bring it in for service, do a restore before you do so.
Reinstalling installer.app and your old applications won't take that long.
I've read somewhere (not sure if it was at this site or not) that a guy who took his in this way was refused service, and even added to a blacklist so he couldn't get service at any store on that phone... He eventually got it worked out with the manager there, but his words of advice were "Do a restore on your phone before you take it to a Genius Bar".
If they ask about it being "blank", tell them the last thing you tried was a restore and your problem still exists.
This is third hand quoting here. No direct experience on that front, but it wouldn't surprise me. Similar to "don't take your laptop in for service chocked full of bootlegged programs". Granted this is not bootlegged software they'll see, but it just makes sense.
yes. While the installer is installing it forces your iPhone into recovery mode. This is normal. Let it go and it will restart itself. Do not connect to iTunes.
It *shouldnt* there have been far less reports of people bricking with only apptapp vs having it unlocked.

Is there any way you could help me out. I'm having a brutle time trying to figure this out.
Last week i purchased an iphone that was fw 1.1.1
I was able to unlock/ activate it using the latest version of iphone sim free. (the free one seemed to crazy for me to use i chickend out)
It downgraded my phone to 1.0.2.
I can't remember where i read but it said app tap 3 or 3.1 can now be used.
I downloaded it... it seemed to install on my phone cause i have a blue icon there with white swirls in it.
When i tap it, it says:
"Welcome to installer 3!
This version of installer has been greatly improved on a number of fronts; including the user interface and the packaging back-end.
This release uses a diffrent core repository and firmware 1.1.1 is recomended."
Now when i downloaded it, it asked me to select the version of my iphone, i selected 1.0.2.
Why is it informing me that "This release uses a diffrent core repository and firmware 1.1.1 is recomended. when it gave me the option to choose?
??
What steps should i proceed with that are optiional at the bottom: 'Featured, Install, update, uninstall or sources' ???
Or am i retarded?

Use the install option and find the old SummerBoard under system in the categories, than keep going with what else you want.
Anyone know what this means? I succesfully connected via sftp to my Iphone once, but stupidly closed the window by accident. I have tried restarting everything a few times, but always get this error message.
FWIW, I changed the password in iphone terminal. Is there a way to default it? (other than manually changing it)? Anyway, I'm kind of at a loss.
Otherwise, the new app tap worked great.
Edit: Nevermind, my internet sucks. Got it sorted, awesome!

Hi there,
After someone hacked my iphone last week, the capacity went down to 300MB!!! Does anyone know how I can solve this (big) issue?
ramfish
if you're on a mac, the Downloads section of independence has a "300MB Killer". I wish I would have known this when I upgraded! Hah!
Help!
I am trying to use ssh on 1.1.1 iphone and it rejects the password. root/dottie. When I was on 1.0.2 it worked with no problem.
is there another user/password I should use and how or where would I find that?

I dont know if im late but some one told me that App.tapp would work on the new 1.1.2 as long if im just downloading for apps and for jailbreak. But everytime i try and install Installer in my iPhone and im following the same blonde proff instrucions as posted in the begining of this fourm. But everytime it almost completes it tells me sending to iPhone failed? what am i doing wrong?

ok...
1) - you connect via WiFi. there is no other way to see your files on your iphone via winSCP unless you have a IP address on the same subnet as your home system.. local network.. 10.0.1.x or 192.168.x.x etc..
2) - you can see your files, root, etc using "MobileFinder"
just check the ".." setting in the prefs and you can go UpLevel on your directories inside mobile finder and access root, var, sbin, whatever
3) - to REARRANGE the order of your files, you need 1 of 2 apps available in the installer.app
they are
XLAUNCH - xlaunch has a "reorder apps" feature and also has a SQUEEZE and FIT dock option where you can add a 5th or 6th ICON to your mini DOCK on your iPHONE, you can also REMOVE icons from your DOCK so if you want 4 icons and 1 is phone, SMS, ebooks, and Installer you can put those 4 on your DOCK and get rid of the ipod icon, etc, etc,etc
CUSTOMIZE - also has a REORDER option which lets you both
a) reorder files by dragging and dropping into a ordered list
b) has a "eye" icon next to each program name which lets you "HIDE AND SHOW" the apps..
4) - FIELD TEST ICON / this is a program that is default loaded into your phone and is "hidden" basically you can do 2 things.... 1 ) you can re-hide the app by clicking on it in customize or in XLAUNCH and selecting it and making it "hidden/visible"
5) - there is a way to "email" yourself the files on your iphone using mobilefinder but if you don't have WiFi its going to be slow over EDGE, and it is by no means the proper way to backup or modify your phone... just a suggestion if you want to backup say.. "voicemail" or "SMS messages"
i dont understand... i already have the INSTALLER in my Iphone.... its the unlocked IPHONE... can i use the app in my phone? or will it break if i do???
