read through this topic and you will see where "theyoshi" explained how to use scp in terminal several times

umm i've read thru and am not seeing this problem , when i go into itunes it never gives me the option just to download the firmware instead of just starting the install process, any ideas ?

you have already downloaded it... skip that step

well i had updated to 1.1.1 then downgraded to 1.0.2 now when i check my modem firmware is still 04.01.13_G this is incorrect isn't it ?

cause now when i run the first 2 commands on wincp it doesn't create the directories like it should

no. That's correct. When you downgrade the software the baseband firmware doesn't downgrade. If the directories can't be created, you aren't jailbroken

i think i may be typing this stuff out before i even look wow i feel like a typical luser tonight lol , i found those directories under /var/private

The commands/concepts are the same

There is a guide though. HERE

No you didnt screw anything up

The Summerboard app found in Installer is not compatible with 1.1.1. Look here for a thread Summerboard 1.1.1 Alpha (Its late and I'm lazy or I'd link it) for instructions to install the new version that will work with 1.1.1

Rather than trying to struggle your way through using a guide written for windows on your mac just use this one, it will tell you exactly how to do it on your mac:

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble jailbreaking my 1.0.2 phone, I'm at the point in WinSCP where i put in the commands:

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

ln -s / /var/root/Media

After i put both of those in, do i click on 'Execute'? Because after I do, I get this error message saying 'Command ln -s / /var/root/Media' failed with return code. Or should i click Execute after the first command? In the steps, it never actually says to do anything else with those commands... I don't want to do the next step in upgrading the firmware, without knowing if it's right so far.

When i do the 'ls' command neither of the Media or Media.old directories show up. I'm on windows.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: My iPhone now shows that it only has 300mb capacity and all my songs + videos are gone

I am following the wiki, like i said before, i get stuck at the part where you put in the mv /var/root/Media /var/root/Media.old and ln -s / /var/root/Media commands, i get this error:

Enter the mv line - press execute
enter the next line - press execute


if you get command not found then you didn't put the ssh files in the correct directory

What do you mean? I've only done what it said to on the wiki, so far.

sorry, i read someone else's post. idk man, try starting over

Silencer, I'm having the same exact issue. When you first logged in, did you get a "user groups" error?

the user groups error is normal... continue on

The BSD More package will fix the groups error... Its in the downloads section and linked from the guide.
