iPod touch touchFree: GUI Jailbreak with automatic SummerBoard installation

Thanks - I was able to restore it and it is back to normal. I'm gonna give it another attempt before resynching my music and videos. :)

ok i get on step 14 failed to write to remote file 4

Never seen this before. Try the command again a few times, but it's probably what caused my program to fail in the first place.
 
Ok I tried it again and still no luck - same problem with having no installer icon showing up. I am thinking that I am not rebooting properly. I am used to turning the IPod on and off using the power button in the top left hand corner - how does one slide to turn it off?

hold that button until a slide to turn off slider appears (red)
 
Yep - just figured that out - sorry for the dumb question and thank you. Hopefully the third time will be the charm.
 
OK - looks like I'm in. I see the installer icon on my Ipod now although I see nothing about a TripPogo whatever. At this point I have to find the apps on my own correct?

Sorry, man. I don't know what to suggest anymore, but I'm going to guess that it's probably a computer-specific issue. Maybe you could try using a friend's computer?

woohoo! worked for me on my excellent target week 37 16 gigger, executed from from my xp desktop machine. first time i ran touchfree it appeared to hang, but i cancelled it and restarted and followed the direction in the first post and it worked like a charm! now all i need is map and mail and i'll be pretty pleased...

aaagh, how come i cant use the terminal in winSCP?, To get some iPhone apps on the touch i have to enter a command, but i cant use the terminal! i just get the error message : Connection has unexpectedly closed. Server sent command exit status 127. Error skipping startup message. Your shell is probably incompatible with the application (BASH is recommended).

I didn't need to use any sort of terminal or enter any command. All I did was right-click on (for example) Maps.app after uploading it and choose to enable Execute permission for the user. That sets the 'x' bit permission it needs.

It's the same effect as that command you would enter into a terminal - it sets the permission so the user can run the file.
 
planet - can you post a changelog, especially from v4 onward. curious what's changed in version 5. thanks!
 
Could anyone direct me to a link for the snycing problem? ive got the installer apps program on but cant connect it to itunes. thanks in advance

There ought not to be a sync'ing problem. What happens when you open iTunes and connect the iPod?

Hi,

I have installed correctly the Installer.app but after that, I used WinSCP to upload the Weather Widget, Mail and Maps but when I launch those apps I see the start page of those applications but nothing happens, I can use them. It must be a right problem. Could you please tell me the rights you have ? I have now rwxrwxr-x (0775) but it doesn't work.

EDIT: It's ok it works now for weather, I had to check permissions recursively.

Someone knows how to make Mail and Maps work ?
 
Thanks for the changelog planetbeing!

What determines the amount of space that Installer.app has available to install things? It started out with like 50-some MB and I'm already down to 20MB... :eek:
Would like to provide it more space.

mki - the "Weather" file in the /Applications/Weather.app/ folder has rwxr--r-- permissions set on mine. I didn't install Mail. "Maps" has the same permission settings as "Weather".

I restarted my computer. plugged in the the touch and itunes still diddnt open. when i personally open itunes it states, "The software required for iphone is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install itunes again. i went through the control panel then uninstalled itunes. downloaded it again off apples webpage and installed it. and again i get the same error message.

It sounds like you moved iTunesMobileDevice.dll from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin when I had instructed you to copy it. Try copying it back to the folder.
 
So i manually installed the beta of Summerboard for 1.1.1 and I can slide through pages of icons which is definitely handy, but if I click on SMBPrefs it opens a blank page and eventually puts me back on the main screen. Ah well, I'll wait for the next update to see if it's just a bug or something. Can't wait to be able to move my icons around.
