Perhaps someone more experienced (no offense mate) can enlighten me as to what this app does or supposed to do?

I dont use iBricker either...wasnt that natetrues development and was for jailbreaking 1.1.3 firmware??

I'm going of memory so if im incorrect someone correct me.....but i think the reason i had to use this fix is specifically for the iPhonebrowser...When you connect the phone it wouldnt recoginze the phone as being jailbroken so the fix makes it look like a jailbroken 1.1.3
I guess i could unistall it and see what happens....worst comes to worst ill just reinstall it later

iPhoneBrowser is good, dont get me wrong, but why not install ssh & use winscp....no need for the 1.1.3 JB fix.

Uninstall it & see by all means, but i strongly recommend using winscp (or is the problem that you have no wifi??)

the fix to make it seem like 1.1.3 i believe was used to unlock via Ziphone and have it recoginze it was jailbroken...i think the download was "ZiPhone iBrickr Fix" (please correct me if im wrong) Can i unistall this without any problems??? Then i should be able to download the wallpapers and have them route to the proper location. I am hesitate to unistall since i dont know what it will do? Anyone with any input or can explain this to me??

Dont uninstall it. If you needed ziphone ibrickr fix, then if you take it out you will lose access to your file hierarchy.You can move the vpapers manually if you need them in a new location or "proper" locale. Thats up to you. Are they(the vpapers) not being read? Is that why? Well I suggest you leave ziphone ibrickr fix in place as its a sub for an erased proxy pac.

I think iphonebrowser is much better for transferring files in as its way easier. Much more beneficial for speedy transfers sans the permissions. Especially if you're not around wifi.

I was using CuteFTP with SSH for a little while but recently i have had a problem connecting it for some reason....i will try Winscp

i disagree, i think perhaps they are as good as each other though. I would use winscp (so need wifi) over iphonebrowser because i get on with it better.
& i also use putty for quick terminal commands (or vt-100).

The ibricker fix isnt proxy pac stuff, it enables Nate True's ibricker to access the files structure correctly. As i said, the 1.1.3 JB's etc etc were to be honest a cock up!! and thusly ibricker hasnt been updated i dont think really since then, so its not been changed to work correctly with 1.1.4.

Ideally, i bricker shud be updated, instead of the phones being tricked to work.

Thanks i will leave ibrickr fix installed then but my issue is downloading these vpapers from the vpaper program....after i download it wont show up in my select vpapers. If i download a custom made one to my computer and move it to the correct folder (via ssh or iphonebrowser) then i have no problems but all the vapapers that come with the program wont work for me....not a huge issue but i would like to use them too.

what if you manually create a /private/var/mobile/Media/Skrew/Videos/ and then try downloading.

Failing that, try this:

goto /System/Library/Lockdown/

rename Services.plist to Services.bak,
then rename Services.plist.backup to Services.plist

and reboot & retry downloading videos.

But be careful!! without SSH to recover if nething goes wrong you may do more damaage than good.

Ive just looked at what the ibricker fix does....

Its simple, it uses an exploit and changes the Services.plist to allow you computer to mount the iphone as a hard drive. iPhoneBrowser requires this type of access in order to work

it adds to & modifies the plist (well in theory it just renames then replaces with the one in zip file, but these are the changes...)

com.apple.afc2

AllowUnactivatedService

Label
com.apple.afc2
ProgramArguments

/usr/libexec/afcd
--lockdown
-d
/



So maybe this fix isnt to blame after all. Do you have ANY thing else that is 1.1.3 related?

Also....ideally , you would have to do it with ssh over wifi (winscp) and be aware that on reboot, you will no longer have access via iphonebrowser unless you winscp back into you phone and then name Services.plist to Services.plist.backup, and also Services.bak to Services.plist

Im not sure how the auto-lock works... if your downloading something, i would hope it woudl "stay alive" but obv if it doesnt, and the it goes to lock, the wifi or edge gets cut off hence buggering up the download.

Set your auto-lock to never if your busy for a few hours d/l stuff

thanks for the tip

Turn off auto-lock lol

Also, are you running skrewcommon 1.2? few (& i mean just a few) ppl have reported the the auto-lock "fix" in this version actually just forces the lock.

Try it with autolock off first then report back

1/2 hour later still downloading but making progress I am on edge right now so thats hopefully the reason for long download times-edit 45 min and new city light is mine looks like auto lock was the issue ..thanks all

28MB file takes 2 hrs on EDGE, was at work and wanted to try it... you have to hope you don't get a phone call in the middle = starting over from the beginning!

takes 20min on wifi... for me anyway... just a friendly note and there is a new vWP up on the repo

vWP flyingtoasters from touchit

And thats why I am trying to add these to my repo... everyone is on something different and so it helps those that don't know the file system or want to bother with it...
I use iphonebrowser though and have never had a problem with it!

add the www.iphonerepostore.com/repo.xml repo and then install the skrew common 1.0 file...

It will say that you need to update to 1.2 but just leave it... worked for me!

I can stop it from buggin about an update i think, i intentionally left it unmodified incase there should ever be an update beyond 1.2. i f i modify it you woudnt know and would have to manually check.

Its up to you guys, you want me to change it??

skrew common 1.0 is also in community sources. the last time I saw it there was 2 days ago(thursday)....More MakesMoves VPapers coming soon.......

This is true, i believe BigBoss got permission to put it on his Repo (who is now a part of the community sources)

I have a request could you guys convert this and make some changes so it looks good on the iPhone background. I would really appreciate it.

thanx
