So, something went wrong.

THAT'S IT! You have now achieved read/write access to the root directory of your iPhone (ie. your jailbroked biotch!) Make sure to restart your iPhone for the changes to take effect. To verify everything went smoothly, re-open iPHUC and type or copy the following command:

getfile /etc/fstab fstab
Then, check the directory that iphuc-jailbreak.exe is in for the file 'fstab'. Open it and look around for 'rw'. It may have it in there a few times, but nowhere should you see 'ro'. If you do see 'ro', you have probably failed and should try again.

i can't figure out how to find 'rw' or even 'ro'.

cat fstab

and look at it. The line starting with '/' should end with rw or ro (you want it to say rw)

/dev/disk0s2 /private/var hfs rw,noexec 0 2

Thanks!

For now I re-downgraded from 1.1.1 to 1.02 and all is ok. Just going to wait a bit and leave it at 1.02 till maybe something more streamline is out.

BTW, thanks for your help!!

I have 20 Iphones in front me of me I have to jailbreak

i ended up flashing to 1.1.1 (stock) and went to bed last night, but when i get home i'll down-grade again and re-do and post my test result on getting our space back.

p.s. dont follow the readme, if you guys check the iphone dev team rss they updated with this:

http://iphone.fiveforty.net/wiki/in...Jailbreak_1.1.1

good luck

edit: i forgot to say, i do have the problem of only 35 megs showing up for available space in AppTapp

just run the installer again. This time it should succeed. Now activate.

When it says Activate? How do i activate it? put lockdownd file into /usr/libexec? or using Itunes.....Doesn't say anything about that......I think this is probably the reason why my phone is still locked? Hmmm interesting

if something else, then i'm sorry i have no clue, as i've not touched anything to do with unlocking

(via ssh):

rm /var/root/Media
mv /var/root/Media.old /var/root/Media

Now is the question...how do i Activate the phone using IAsign.....I don't use a MAC...

Originally Posted by AlteZza2k2

as per the activation, you have to 2 choices, either check out the link from mypost where they link to a hacked up version of iasign for windows (not what i did) or use https://ookoo.org/iphone/iasign.php (what i did)

if you do the second method, dont use the pem provided on that site, use the one that comes with the jailbreak pacakge

Originally Posted by ogxjason15

Yeah i used the sites exe file....and now I have signal and can call out but its still in the Activation screen!! lol...it says Emergency Calls..but i can call anyone!...how do you put in the PEM from the jailbreak package? Do you have AIM/MSN?

hmmm..i can make and recieve calls on the Activation Screen!....Something has to be wrong...

i followed the mac section of the README for activation except where ever it said to use iasign, i used the exe. it has to be run twice so make sure you follow those steps to the T.

ya, this was annoying. i downloaded the BSD_Base files and manually used iphoneinterface (putfile) to upload those files. you also have to chmod 755 them to execute

How do you get the Contact icon on the Home Screen?
