On 9/17/08 there was an update on Cydia for something. i have no idea what program or fill it was, but because i had it installed, i just updated it any ways. Now when i start Cydia, my bookmark page comes up. I select google then the program closes.

anyone having this issue? or can anyone tell me what the hell i updated on 9/17 lol

Have you tried restarting your iPhone/iPod Touch?

[rmsmerd0]

Yes im running 2.0.1 never had this issue before. well i did once but i installed a safari plug-in. i uninstalled it and it worked again. this time i now it wasn't a plug in. i think it was something like the Base Structure that was updated or the Mobile Substrate that was upgraded. i can';t uninstall these.

same issue for me.. i tried the command in terminal that the maker suggested to fix the issue however it does nothing

unless you want to restore, in the mean time you can download the app called myfox from cydia.. its a safari replacement and its pretty quick..

yeah, i got the same problem. its the file:// Schema in Safari ...thats the name. it will not let my safari stay open. even after reinstalling 10 times and deleting it. going to try the myfox now

when i got a update for dtunes thats when my sarfari started acting up im having the same problems

[cadguycad]

i have the exact same problem i think. I upgraded something in the morning. it was definately not just a standard app (rather a supporting program), i think it was mobile substrate and 2 other things.
Later when itried safari it runs and bring up bookmarks. as soon as i try to view a page it crashes back to front page (with a brief black page). Tried usual rebooting and clearing of history cookies and cache.
tried uninstalling dtunes, file scheme, mobile substrate ( which also removes additional
apps such as irealsms ,winterboard.
still no change.

My firmware is 2.0.2 (5c1).

is the problem something to do with the newest mobile substrate being for the latest firmware? (2.1)

the windows quickpwn has just come out so i might try the upgrade this weekend to see if that solves it.

Yeah I think that's what it is... But I have to wait till winpwn is released, unless an update comes out.

Ah, you had local file browsing plugin for Safari, and you've updated it to File:// Schema for safari. Some other guy has taken over it and changed it quite a bit, and updating can break Safari. To fix it, perform the following operation as root:

ldid -s /Applications/MobileSafari.app/MobileSafari

That should fix it REMEMBER THE THANKS BUTTON

[rmsmerd0]

Thanx Conn18. But i upgraded already. Cadguycad, yes upgrading to 2.1 fixed it. And let me tell u, it took 20 seconds to back up my phone haha love it!!!!!!!!!! But if you don';t want to upgrade, Do what Conn18 said to do!

[cadguycad]

tried the fix but still the same.

Ive seen on other forums to login into root using "su root" and then "alpine" as password and also it has to be before you run safari , straight after a reboot.

i'm wanting to upgrade to solve this problem but theres a problem with gps locations not working in 2.1 and also using quickpwn could render the iphone unlockable in fiture (if an unlock is released. something to do with upgrading the baseband)

I'm not sure if these problems are out weighed by the benefits of upgrading. i can still use myfox for web browsing but i cant download using the safari plugin like i did before.

[GrandmaPearl]

actually the plugin works for my on myfox for some reason... does anyone know where to get the stock MobileSafari.app ?

nvm, found it on the forums

What does this actually mean? I am a serious noob and do not understand how to perform the operation? I can find the file path perfectly and see what is infront of me when i go to /Applications/MobileSafari.app/MobileSafari but i dont know how to ldid -s. If someone can explain how to do this it would be great and save me having to pay to upgrade to 2.1.
Thanx
