Use Totalcommander to install patched mobileinstallation to /System/Library/PrivateFrameWorks/MobileInstallation.framework ... clickon the dropdown box [-\-] top left and select network neighbourhood then t-pot. Remeber to back up your original mobileinstallation first!

Still in TotalCommander delete /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist

Reboot the phone and all is good!


Thanks to the #xpwn crew...
 
according to the BossTeam it does indeed work but installed 3rd party apps wont show up on the springboard which makes the whole thing kinda pointless
 
to fix the problem with the applications not showing up, you have to download the program from cydia called "delcache" and well...delete the cache and your apps are supposed to show up on springboard now :)
 
So far work's good, Ill explain what dosent work and what does in a few moments.

Doing so more testing...
 
For the people that are doing this , please comeback and let us know what happened.
 
So afterwards can you reinstall iTunes 8 or not?

I have also heard that there are a few apps that don't work correctly, like Categories. Can you confirm?
 
I've just gone through this. I upgraded to 2.1 on my Mac and used a windows laptop with iTunes 7.7.0 to do the actual jailbreak.

The following apps are working fine:

BossPrefs
5 Icon Dock
Winterboard
Analogue Charger
SpoofApp
DelCache
and most importantly, Intelliscreen
 
Everything works fine dont need delcache, cydia has been optimizeed to respring for 2.1.
 
Does MX Tube and iReboot still work with JB 2.1?

Can you go back to iTunes 8 when you're done with JailBreak?

Do apps sync ok and run from iTunes?
Click to expand...

They sync and run, however I'm having trouble trying to sync 1password, Things and SplashID with their desktop counterparts.

OpenSSH also doesn't seem to be working.

hi admin
i've performed all d steps as told worked fine but the step involving the patch inst isnt working it says no programs associated wit the patch
plz help
Click to expand...

The patched mobileinstallation is not an application. You need to replace the one on the iPhone with the patched version.
 
Apps sync fine as long as u update back to itunes 8 after your done with the jailbreak. Iphone works as normal. However Cydia and Installer seem a little buggy still. Winterboard randomly act's up also and won't change theme without a reboot at times.
 
Has anyone tried to see if the T-Zones hack works with this? Its the only thing holding me back right now from doing it. I might just have to be a guinea pig for it though, this is too tempting to pass up (got about a half hour left on all the downloads)
