[pcuserforever]

I'M READY TO TAKE THE PLUNGE AS A NOOB!

a couple of questions:
1. not intrested in unlocking, i can use the new version of independece to jailbreak only?
2. i have 1.1.1 recently upgraded, never unlocked, never jailbroken before is it ok to proceed?
3. if i use independence on my friend's mac, will i be able to mod and install new software from my pc after the jailbreak, or am i locked to mac after using independence?

any response is greatly appreciated.

THANK YOU DEV TEAM FOR ALL THE WORK!!!

ever see the apple 1984 big brother commercial? can you say role reversal?

[efesusceo]

all this talk about downgrading, 102, 111, etc. has me all confused.

i have a hacked v1.0.2, not unlocked. should i upgrade to 1.1.1 , then downgrade, and do all the cooky steps to get my phone back to it's hacked state? or, is there a way to facilitate the process since i'm still in 1.0.2? thanks.

I've tried removing known_hosts file

still shows:
ssh: connect to host 192.168.x.xx port 22: Connection refused

I have answered this exact issue countless times now. You CAN install installer.app without sftp and quite easily using SCP which so far works fine with every SSH daemon I have run across for iPhone. http://www.modmyi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9667 That explains it in exact detail. Just pick up from where I start my instructions and stop referring you to dev team instructions. READ IT THROUGH once first... then you'll understand what you're doing before you start doing it.

can sum1 please help?

Did you set up passwordless ssh access on your iPhone?

I had the same error, and FINALLY realized Independence expected a password prompt, which it never got. To fix this ssh into your iphone, and execute the following:

mv ~/.ssh ~/.ssh-save

There's another possibility, but unlikely...

Your iPhone has an IP that conflicts with one already in your "~/.ssh/known_hosts" file. Fire up the Terminal, ssh into your iPhone, and see if you get any warnings. I didn't see this happen, but I'm just throwing it out as a possibility.

Jailbreak, is the only thing Independence does.* It will not unlock your iPhone. So you're set.

*Yes, I know Independence also adds ssh, apps, ringtones, etc. if you want to, but that was too complicated to say.

2. i have 1.1.1 recently upgraded, never unlocked, never jailbroken before is it ok to proceed?

With all applicable caveats, yes it should be.

3. if i use independence on my friend's mac, will i be able to mod and install new software from my pc after the jailbreak, or am i locked to mac after using independence?

Once you're jailbroken, you can install ssh. From there, you can scp or sftp (I think) stuff to your heart's content. Even if it is from (ugh) Windows.

i'm currently biting the bullet and am upgrading in hopes to jailbreak using independence! wish me luck!

[afinite17]

I have 1.1.1 and iTunes 7.4, it says it works with these, but when I click to perform the jailbreak, it says error: I have to downgrade to 1.0.2 then special upgrade to 1.1.1? Help? lol.

open the help file in independence. from there, they have a step-by-step guide on how to downgrade and re-upgrade so that it can be jailbreaked.

ugh, somewhere in the upgrading process... it lost all of my settings. so now i have to go through and redo all of my favorites and everything. i even lost my text messages... :-\ oh well i guess.

ouch........ even lost all of my special iphone-only bookmarks and notes. not very happy...

this app would be cool if you didn't have to downgrade to 1.02, and lose your stuff via restore... hopefully a 1.11 jailbreak comes about. At least apple will release an SDK if not. For now I am gonna live without the cool 3rd party apps, constantly re configuring my phone and worry about bricking at the next update sorta takes away from the "convenience-time-saving" aspect of a pda-phone-internet appliance

In step 7
after:
cd ~/Desktop
scp -r Installer.app root@<192.168.x.xx>:/Applications
it says: -bash: 192.168.x.xx: No such file or directory

installer.app is on desktop

Seems like ip access is totally shut down on the iphone side
