FlipsideReality Once upon a time, in a land far far away…

What to do with a new iPhone (1.1.3) jailbreak.

You can register and get a temp mobile number, it takes ages to get you number transferred

Install itunes, & sign up normally, upgrade to the latest firmware (1.1.3) one you are up and running (can make calls) get http://downloadziphone.org/ZiPhone2.4b.zip from http://www.ziphone.org/

leave itunes running and run the app. Select jailbreak and click go.

it’ll scroll a shell script, then reboot.

use the new installer app to install

bsd subsystem
boostools
bossprefs
openssh
community sources

openssh default root password is ‘alpine’, you can use bossprefs to see your IP

DO NOT USE passwd TO CHANGE THE ROOT PASSWORD. It breaks stuff.

use a *nix box with the command

 perl -e 'print crypt("PASSWORD", "XX")."\n"'

where XX is the salt (apple uses /s, but you dont have to)
and hen edit the etc/master.password file by hand (vi)
e.g. for password 123456 with salt /s
you’d get the line:

root:/sD7047KCmDuU:0:0::0:0:System Administrator:/var/root:/bin/sh

the unit has two partitions
/dev/disk0s1 on / (hfs, local, noatime)
/dev/disk0s2 on /private/var (hfs, local, noatime)

Use bosstool to move your Application folder to the /var (symlink of /private/var) folder or you’ll run out of space for your apps. It marks the second partition executable, moves /applications to /applications.bak and symlinks /applications -> /var/applications

These are the apps that i have found to be useful.

that’s just an ls of my apps folder. vTerm doesn’t work till you

chmod 4755 /usr/bin/login
mkdir -p /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib
ln -s /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib/.

there are two (explorer like) ‘app launching apps’ the official apple springboard, and summerboard. Springboard is fine with 1.1.3, but if you must customize stuff…

customize is good for moding other bits, but i cant be arsed to do it every firmware update…

I stuck to springboard, using categories and poof to make subfolders, and hide apps from the main screen respecively. categories will automatically poof (bad name) apps when you file them into a subfolder.
