Cannot connect to YouTube Fix for 1.1.3
Allow me to identify my problem so you may be able to relate. I have a 1.1.3 OTB iPhone, jailbroken/activated with ZiPhone. Everything worked fine except my YouTube.app. It would not allow me to connect/search/bookmark or any of that other good stuff. So I tried all those "fixes" available from the Installer.app with no luck. After a little more browsing I found some very nice instruction on how to fix this extremely annoying problem. Follow these steps to fix your iPhone.
1. Install Open SSH/BSD Subsytem onto your iPhone via the InstallerApp
2. Download this
file
3. Connect to your iPhone via an FTP program (my personal favorite is WinSCP)
3a. Make sure your phone is connected to a WiFi spot (your router possibly). Then from the main dashboard, go to settings, then wifi. Where it says "Choose a Network", tap the blue arrow to the right of the network that you are currently connected to. It should give you an IP address (ex: 192.168.1.2). Remember that number
3b. Once in the WinSCP program, for hostname/ip address, put the ip address that you found from step 3a.
3c. For username, use "root", and for password, first use "alpine" and if that doesn't work, use "dottie"
3d. If all went well, you should be able to connect to your iPhone through WinSCP and browse its files.
4. Once connected, use WinSCP to navigate to /var/root/Library/Lockdown/
5. Now go back to the file that you downloaded earlier. It contains 3 files (data_ark.plist, device_public_key.pem, device_private_key.pem). Upload those files to the folder mentioned in Step 4. When asked if to overwrite, say yes (make backups if you want).
6. In that folder, you will also see a folder named "activation_records". Go inside and delete all the files you see.
7. Now, restart your iPhone and try it out. See if it worked for you, like it did for me!
