blackra1n & iPhoneBrowser

**L00i3** · 10-11-2009, 02:51 PM

So after I jailbroke my 3.1.2 3G[S] with blackra1n, when I open iPhoneBrowser (1.9.1.0), it says "iPhone is connected, not jailbroken (no afc2 service found)

Anyone having this issue? Know any fixes? Can I still SSH at least?

Well, I tried WinSCP, and it worked for SSH. But I am very much unimpressed with 3.1.2 & blackra1n. I am pretty sure I will be going back to my custom 3.1 later on.

*crossing my fingers for Dev Team to release a REAL jailbreak*

I got the same issue here. I tried different iPhone browsing tools and all reporting back that my iPhone is not jailbroken.

I'm using Fugu for the time being till this issue is solved

**j3wbagell** · 10-11-2009, 04:40 PM

WinSCP is working fine. iPhoneBrowser 1.9.3 acknowledges the jailbreak but has an issue opening anything.

**FlexSurferOne** · 10-11-2009, 06:42 PM

Here is a simple way that i found over the internet to get any iphone browser recognize the root of the blackra1n jailbreaked iPhone.

log into the iPhone using ssh tool (i.e. WinSCP for Windows, Fugu for Mac)
go to /System/Library/Lockdown/ and copy the file Services.plist to ur computer.

edit the plist file using any text editor and add the following entries above the line that reads:

<key>com.apple.crashreportcopy</key>

Code:

<key>com.apple.afc2</key>
	<dict>
		<key>Label</key>
		<string>com.apple.afc2</string>
		<key>ProgramArguments</key>
		<array>
			<string>/usr/libexec/afcd</string>
			<string>--lockdown</string>
			<string>-d</string>
			<string>/</string>
		</array>
	</dict>

Save the file and move it back to the device over writting the original file. (its advisable to make a backup before u overwrite).
reboot the device and after that u'll be able to browse the root with any iphone browsing tools

hey everyone i have a 3gs running 3.1 with its shsh blobs saved to my local restore server (there is a thread to make one on mmi) so here is what i did to make everything work!:

i had access to a mac so i cooked a custom ipsw then i jailbroke my 3gs with blackra1n (great program) then very simply i restored my 3gs with the custom ipsw that i had and bingo! ssh fine iphonebrowser fine all ok everywhere!

**jolyrogger** · 10-11-2009, 07:25 PM

if you use a custom .ipsw it will carry the exploit to have access to your files. we are trying to find a work around if for the people who don't want to use a custom .ipsw

**SoulPhyre** · 10-11-2009, 07:32 PM

indeed it is only a work around for us fortunate ones but as you say the masses aren't all as lucky as us. btw i am looking at the code supplied by flexsurferone and seems to be a good start and should probably be integrated in blackra1n in the near future if possible or a revised version of this code either would be an interesting way of making the root visible

**kentuckyiphone** · 10-11-2009, 10:52 PM

follow this....

Use iBrickr/iPhoneBrowser on v1.1.1 with - afc2 services.plist

you need to replace your services.plist with the one you download from this guide.

SSH into the phone with winscp...after you replace the file and reboot you can ssh with usb programs like ifunbox. Also I found that itunes might give you a "another iphone has previously been synced" message where it gives you the option to setup a new phone or restore from back. Just setup as a new phone and then it will do nothing. Strange I know but it works.

Hope this helps anyone who jailbroke with blackra1n and could not use programs like ifunbox to ssh.

Worked for me

blackra1n 3.1.2 iphone 3gs here ssh works browser works

hope u get it working!

**StealthBravo** · 10-11-2009, 10:56 PM

blackra1n doesn't patch the services.plist. You will have to do it manually to get usb browsing back.

SSH into your phone and navigate to /System/Library/Lockdown/Services.plist

Copy Services.plist (copy the original for backup) to your computer and open it in a plist editor or a text editor. Add the following info:

Paste the following key/dict combo above the line that reads
<key>com.apple.crashreportcopy</key>

PHP Code:


    <key>com.apple.afc2</key>
    <dict>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>com.apple.afc2</string>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
            <string>/usr/libexec/afcd</string>
            <string>--lockdown</string>
            <string>-d</string>
            <string>/</string>
        </array>
    </dict>

or if you are lazy, here is a pre-patched services.plist

I recommend editing your own services.plist tho. Reboot your phone and you should be able to use whatever USB browser you want.

Enjoy!

This will work for you, it was posted by Geohot to fix it. Follow exactly

Cyberduck is not showing all my files either.

If you install Erica's utilities on the iPhone from Cydia, you can paste the following into an SSH or MobileTerminal prompt:
A better solution is probably to write something that can be installed from Cydia so it helps all jailbreaks that don't want the overhead of adding afc2 (or forget to

).

If you install Erica's utilities from Cydia, you can use the following commands from MobileTerminal or an SSH terminal prompt:
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -dict Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -Label -string com.apple.afc2 Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -AllowUnactivatedService -true Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -array Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -arrayadd -string /usr/libexec/afcd Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -arrayadd -string \"--lockdown\" Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -arrayadd -string \"-d\" Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -arrayadd -string / Services.plist

Then restart the iPhone.

Then restart the iPhone.

When i try the above code it says that plutil isn't recognized.
I can't even SSH into my device over wifi that just times out!

Any other ideas? Help please!!

Did you install Erica's utilities in Cydia?

Yeah installed the utilities and was able to get to line 2.

I was finally able last night to SSH into my phone and went to the Lockdown directory where there was no Service.plist file at all.

Any ideas?
