iPod touch iPod Jailbreak Guide: Revised (For Intel Mac)

I can't get the editing functionality on the calendar to work. Can someone please give me a link / PM to the mobilecal app from the iphone (v1.1.1) or give me specific instructions on how to do it. I have downloaded a set of mobile apps which all work but the cal doesn't add the functionality.

whoops nevermind theres a fix in Installer.app :D

I am up and running however my mail app does not work and Maps keeps shutting down. I have calendar working, weather and notes.

Any suggestions on Mail and Maps? I ran the chmods as stated.

Download the iPhoneApps from page two and try those. Don't forget to CHMOD again after copying.
 
Ebel,
I've got them working, kind of. Maps I am cool with. Its Mail that is the problem. My problem now is the following:
I can't get my account set up. I keep getting a message that says "Cannot connect Using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?

When I hit yes, it doesn't do anything.

I am trying to set up a POP account using my normal email account through alltel.

How do you disable SSL on the touch?

Go to Advanced in settings and turn off "Use SSL".
 
Ok, I got you, but I still don't see it. Do I have to have an account set up first? If so, that is the trouble I seem to be having. I can't get into change the ssl.

Should I try to uninstall mail, reinstall and re chmod?

Yea you have to create an account first. You can bypass the authentication attempts and just set up the account, then fix it afterwards.
 
Thank you

I know many people have said it already but thank you ebel3003 for the walk through. I was semi-comfortable going into this on how terminal works but got through everything perfectly.

Each time create the account and save it, it automatically goes into the verification mode. Nevermind, I think i just figured it out. Thanks for the help.
 
Stuck at the beginning...

The iPhuc command wont work for me...

it says that it "Failed to open local file '/Users/Zach/iphonefs/rdisk0s1'"

what do I do to make it work?
 
I'm having trouble editing the N45AP.plist file to enable adding events in Calendar. I tried editing it in Text Edit but the text shows up with a bunch of weird symbols. Would someone post the edited file or give me some tips on how to edit it?

You most likely forgot to visit jailbreak.toc2rta.com in Safari. After you visit that address Safari will crash and close, then you can proceed.

Also make sure you're plugged into your computer. While most of the post steps can be done over WiFi, the first steps need to be done over USB.

It needs to be converted from a binary format. Type this line into Terminal:

Code: 
plutil -convert xml1 [location of plist]

You don't need to convert back to binary as the touch will recognize the xml file.

Nope, I just tried for the 3rd time, I visit the website on the iPod, it crashed to the home screen, I run the command in the terminal, and it gives me the same error message.

"Failed to open local file '/Users/Zach/iphonefs/rdisk0s1'"

How do I fix this? I really want 3rd party apps....
Currently doing my 3rd restore...

I ended up using the hack that comes with Installer.app. Thanks anyway.
 
ipod touch mail and maps

hi,
thanks a lot for the work and explanations you bring.

Well, I had the same trouble about mail etc. not working:

I uploaded the 1.1.1 apps and restart and chmod the whole thing, but only "notes" and "weather" were working.
mail just gave me a blank window with a "settings" upleft : unclickable
and maps quite...

then, to fix it:
• the good package to download :

[B]http://rs75.rapidshare.com/files/61867543/iPhone_1.1.1_Apps.zip[/B]

•with your ftp utility,

>drag the app mail or other in the touch into:
/applications

>drag MobileMailSettings.bundle into :
/System/Library/PreferenceBundles

>drag GMM.framework into :
/System/Library/Frameworks

Enter in terminal :
ssh -l root your.ip.adre.ss
the root@your ip : pass (alpine)
-sh-3.2# chmod -Rf +x /Applications/
-sh-3.2# chmod -R a+x /Applications/*
-sh-3.2# chmod a+x /Applications/Maps.app/Maps

then, hold the two buttons of the Touch, wait the red "shutdown", slide it
restart.

it works

enjoy


(for mail > in the general settings/mail/advanced : do not choose ssl)

yeah yo. ;)

have the same problem with mail, but all other applications work.

can you post the link again, it does not work.
will try again then.
 
Going to go ahead and jailbreak- wanted to verify someone is here so I can have some help. Anyone?
 
Sorry, already have a question. :(
I downloaded iPhuc, but I don't see any opt folder in Desktop - Jailbreak...sorry, I don't know anything when it comes to this sort of stuff! ;_;

Edit: I'm an idiot! Sorry. Found it...
Edit2: Wait, is "Desktop - Jailbreak" iPhuc?
Edit3: I'm an idiot. Again. Sorry.
 
*commits suicide

Yeah, after ejecting the Snowbird, I entered the putfile, and I thought it was done, so I turned off my touch:

iPHUC) /: putfile iphonefs/rdisk0s1.dmg /dev/rdisk0s1
putfile: Failed to write to remote file: 11

I tried to turn it on, and it's stuck at the Apple logo. Help! :(:(:(

Edit: Restoring.
