Mivtones screw up

[watkinSS]

Went to install the upgrade for mivotnes and it had an error while installing and told me to restart my phone. phone is now stuck in a restart loop and all i have is the pinapple on my screen.. I tryed looking for where cydia installs programs but i could find anything.. i wanna just try and erase it manually. any help would be great
Cheers
Mike

If you can ssh into your phone, have a look here:
/Library/dyModLoader/
There should be two VTones files there. (.dml & folder .Module). Delete them.
Also here:
/System/Library/PreferencesBundles/
There should be file called inVideoShowSetting.bundle. Delete that.

Then reboot. See if that helps you.

My phone did the same thing im trying to restore it right now.Does this mean when i go to update again it will do the same thing?

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I think it had something to do with that shitty ifonetec repo and their dynamic module loader.
The MIVTones updated probably needed the DML but didn't install it right...
Anyway efff'em and their overpriced software. That crap screwed up half of my day.
I'm just avoiding their stuff from now on

To all havin probs with upgradin mivtones...... I had the same problem..

Trouble Shoot..... go into installer install OpenSSL then Dynamic Module.....

I bought the pro version of Mivtones and when i installed the Openssl from installer i had no problems upgrading....... This was after restoring my friends fone 7 times in one day and almost pitchin it against the wall....... Im not gonna guarantee itll work for you but it did for me........

If you install this from Cydia, openSSL should get installed automatically, as it is listed as a dependency.

yes it should and does... BUT its not workin properly with mivtones thats why i said go to installer and do it manually.... like i said i havent had any problems with mivtones locking up my phone or any other phones ive done that too since i did the install of openssl through installer
........ thats jus my experience............

Actually, your post gave me hope in getting my MivTones to run again. I've had no problems with v2.1.3, but then 2.1.5.1 came out and I just can't get it to install. I keep getting the same install error. I've contacted support, but it's been more than a week now and still no luck with the installation. They got me to uninstall v2.1.3 first, but since I can't get v2.1.5.1 to install, and v2.1.3 is not available anymore, I just don't have a working version anymore. I though if I re-installed openSSL from Cydia again, it might solve the problem.
This is what I get when I try & install the deb file:

iPhone-3G:~ root# dpkg -i dyModLoader.deb
Selecting previously deselected package com.ifonetec.dymodloader.
(Reading database ... 9173 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking com.ifonetec.dymodloader (from dyModLoader.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing dyModLoader.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/._.DS_Store', which is also in package com.modmyi.default
Errors were encountered while processing:
dyModLoader.deb

If anyone can shed any light, it would be appreciated. All other packages install fine from Cydia.

***NEVERMIND: I got fed up with it not working and not getting anywhere with the devs either, so I dissected the debs, looked at what the postinst file does, and installed it all manually. Now it's finally installed & working again. Still don't have a clue why that error was popping up though...

i was getting an error like that becuz i had vip mivtones installed and regular mivtones and when the update for the regular mivtones came out i updated and it was trying to overwrite the vip which it did in the end... wha i did was uninstall the regular mivtones through cydia and reinstalled the vip mivtones through installer and i had my vip back........ still working great i might add...........
