Installer 3.1 problems
Ok
I just updated my installer app to version 3.1 . Now whenever I try to install any application or even refresh my sources it just bounces back out to the home screen. Anybody know what's causing this. I never had this problem when I had version 3.0 . Can someone please provide me some help. Be cause as of now I can download or install any sources or apps on my iphone.
Also some how after installing the update on the installer my you tube no longer works. I an go into the you tube application but can load any videos on there. It says cannot connect to youtube. I'm using wifi by the way.
Please Help
Thanks

installer 3.1 doesn't work
I am having almost the same problem. I upgraded to 3.1 and now when I try to install anything I get ERROR - DOWNLOAD PACKAGE FAILED.
And after some online research I see a lot of people are experiencing the same issue.
How can we downgrade back to the previous installer? Is it possible without having to restore the whole phone?

Do you suppose if we go into UNINSTALL it would only uninstall the upgrade?
Wishful thinking huh?

I'm getting the same problem.... "download package failed". What's going on? I just updated to Installer 3.1 last night... I was able to install apps fine on it, but it won't work today.
[Edit]
Well, I just did a hard reset, and successfully installed an app (MobileChat); then tried to install another app (Drummer) and it wouldn't install... got the "download package failed" again. Strange...Last edited by Cassy; 05-07-2008 at 05:57 PM.

Just rejailbreak and it will install the old version. I had the same problem when it first came out. And played with my phone so much trying to get it to work that I ended up having to restore... Works fine now. Lovin' it!

YES!!! I just did another jailbreak and everything is working great now.
Just a heads up for anyone doing this, you'll get the popup to upgrade your installer after you jailbreak again. Make sure you do not upgrade it or you'll be back in the same boat.

What I feel after updating to Installer 3.1 that it does not show all updates. It did not show Parking Lot, Fring, Contrasens updates? Is anybody having the same problem??? Is there a way to go back to the earlier version? Thanks

Just get your hands on the older Installer version. One of the other posts here shared a link to the 3.0.8.zip version. Just DL that to your PC and unzip. Run SSH and copy over the existing installer.app (3.1) that located on your Iphone. Restart and that should be that.
No need to go through the whole process of re-jailbreaking.
