Jailbreak a downgraded iPhone 4

[General Klinger]

I previously had 4.1 on my iPhone 4. I went ahead and upgraded to 4.3.2 knowing I could downgrade back if I didn't like it (I have all my SHSH's saved with TU)

Now that I am back on 4.1, I can't find a single JB program that will work correctly.

Limera1n just "loads" and says it's finished, but I don't get the Cydia program.

The latest version of RedSnow just freezes on the uploading ramdisk part

GreenPo1son went through the entire process then when the phone booted up, I had a program called "Loader" but when I click that it does nothing.

What am I missing here?

I just tried the switching to XP3 trick for Redsnow and got past the uploading ram screen but then it froze at "rebooting"

-Google: Cydia.deb
-On your desktop, create 2 folders:
Cydia & AutoInstall (pay attention to capitalization)
-Place the Cydia.deb file in the AutoInstall folder
-Place the AutoInstall folder into the Cydia folder
-SSH into your phone
-Place the Cydia folder into:
/var/root/Media
*If you don't have the Media folder just create it.

-Final result will be this:
/var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall/Cydia.deb

REBOOT and you'll have the Cydia App on ur springboard!

So I don't have to jailbreak it at all? Seems quite easy to me

How am I suppose to SSH into my phone when I can't install the openSSH program from Cydia?

I have WinSCP and keep trying to connect, but it keeps saying "network error: connection refused"

It's already jailbroken if you saw the Installer or Loader Apps.

When ur phone is 'jailbroken' it allows a person to gain ROOT access to the phone. Cydia is just a program for installing apps. You, technically, could have all your jailbroken apps install the way I told you without ever using Cydia.....but then you'd never know what's new or updated.

Do you understand now?

And where is the root located? I am not seeing the same as I would in WinSCP.

K, I got it now, but when I reboot my phone, the app isn't there. Everything is spelled correctly and is at the right filepath.

Still can't get it. Are you sure I am in the right folder? Google said this

/private/var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall

Either way, it's not working.

Wrong location. Got to:
/var/.....
Not /private/var/.....

It's already there. I've restored my phone 3 times and tried the different folders. Nothing seems to make Cydia appear. After I copy the files, I am just turning my phone off and back on again. Should I be doing something else?

[thazsar]

Where did u get the Cydia.deb file from?

Here's one from mediafire:

Just realized ur not rebooting correctly. To reboot you must hold down the Power & Home button until you see the Apple logo appear. This can take up to 30 seconds.

[thazsar]

Most likely that's your issue

Here's one from mediafire:
cydia.deb

It's suppose to be Cydia.deb when I copy it into the folder right? Because when I download the file, the C is lowercase. I rename it and copy it. is that right?

Just tried that way. No luck either

I am giving up for now. I will mess with it in the morning. I spent 4hrs trying to get this crap running correctly. I may just stuck with 4.3.2 and JB that.

Thanks for the assist though. I will play some more with it in the A.M.

You don't need to edit the name for the Cydia.deb file. Leave that part alone. My keyboard auto-capitalizes that....sorry.

Well I am giving it more one shot. I am doing a clean install of 4.1 right now. After that, I will jailbreak with Green Po1son, and then try the Cydia thing again.

If I do Cydia first, and it works, by copying all my stuff over will that mess it up?

And no luck

Make sure youre using the greenpois0n for 4.1 and not the one straight from greenpois0n.com

Confused by what ur asking but since ur restoring, just try to do Cydia through GP or limera1n again.

Still wondering, though, why Cydia wouldn't install through the AutoInstall folder....

What I mean is restoring from a backup in iTunes so I don't lose my contacts and stuff. BTW, thanks for all the help
