There were updates to both the Installer.app and BSD Subsystem…they are both available in the Installer.app through the AppTapp Official source. Honestly, we are not really sure what the updates do…we see no visual changes to the Installer.app and BSD Subsystem does not have a change log. So, if you know of any changes or you notice anything…let us know in the comments! Below are the screenshots:

I’m not quite certain what I’m seeing after upgrading it on my iTouch is its problem, but I’m able to start weDict again. It crashes right after the white screen come up.
I had to re-install 1.1.2 again, use older BSD version to make it work.

Hey there,
since I installed the new BSD subsystem, all apps work fine again!
There were some apps that didn’t work under 1.1.3 anymore… now they
all do.
Regards!

The only changes I can see on Installer are the comments under the heading Firmware 1.1.3.

I cannot download BSD to my phone is that because I use 1.1.1 FW?

er if this is what I just updated to…then its not working on my iPod Touch
Launched installer.app - said update for install - I accepted
Updated, then i tried to launch it again and it just stalls then goes back to the home screen. Any fix for this other than a full restore of the iPod?

little gnoms told me that 3.0b10 can run setuid root.
[Reply]
January 26th, 2008 at 11:01 am
I noticed that within the BSD subsystem that at least one useful new command was added: du.
However some environment variables got reset and require a few ‘tweaks’. bash still consumes too many resources and prohibits any usefulness from it. (my ipod touch stops responding for long periods of time… a quick ‘top’ shows that bash is using 45%+ cpu. - bash also doesn’t disconnect from TTY’s correctly as I seem to run out of them or it could be part of the earlier problem)
yay!

Same problem. It either fails to download or something screws up during installation. Help, someone?

January 26th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
@sergey….I am running 1.1.1 and was able to download bsd…I would give it another shot!
@Francis, abdliuae and saif…is the Installer.app still on your SpringBoard? If so, the update should be in your Installer.app under Updates…or, you could try going to the Uninstall part of the Installer.app and reinstalling the Installer.app, you do that by selecting the Installer and then selecting Reinstall in the upper right corner.

DD_NVidia: I had the same problem (installer showing blank screen then returning to springboard) and tried to reinstall it…etc without success.
After following all suggestions found on numerous forums, the only thing that worked for me was to go to Terminal and type the following:
cd /Applications
chmod -R 755 ./Installer.app
Then exit the terminal and try running installer again. It should now run normally.
It basically seems like the new version of installer screws up some write permissionning in the folder, which is needed for the sources to refresh.
I hope this helps.

thank you!
[Reply]
January 28th, 2008 at 10:42 am
@sergey…just keep trying. If you get the Cannot Find Host prompt it is because too many people are trying to download it at once and the server is bogged down or it is not fulling installing. It should go…just keep trying.

For those who update to 3.0b10 and it is returning to homescreen please follow my instructions on getting this working. First of all you need to downgrade your installer. so go to this website “http://rapidshare.com/files/77732205/Installer_v3.0b8.zip”
Save this to your desktop.
Now you must Ftp into your iphone with “wifi” using a program such as “Winscp”. Username is “root” password is “alpine.
Delete /Applications/Installer.app Folder and then copy the 3.0b8 file you downloaded in the same directory. Once this is done you will right click the new “installer.app” on winscp and select Properties. We will now set the permissions. Make sure you select all “R,W,X” your oct should be “0777″. Reboot your phone and now you will have “3.08b Installer” on your phone and it should be working fine.

I’ve installed both without any trouble. The BSD 2.0 subsystem has issues with term-vt100 - the backspace key doesn’t work anymore in the terminal. Vexing!
[Reply]
January 28th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
dani in “Winscp” you have to put your dhcp ip address and login. You know when you connect wifi you get an ip on your iphone? You can check it by going to settings, wifi and click that arrow of the router you are connecting to. Anyway once your connected , go down a few directories to /applications. In applications you will see /Applications/Installer.app. Delete Installer.app and replace that with the link to 3.08b. So once you delete the old one copy the new one to /applications.

Dani try turning off your firewall or going on your router and setting yourself as DMZ host.

i think 1.0.2 users password is dottie and 1.1.1 users password is alpine

Just an observation - not verified.
I have noticed that when i get somewhere around
96ish folders in the applications folder,
that installer.app stop working.
F.Y.I. background info that may get ya going.
OK i have a solution that worked for me….
I am not sure how it happened, either from the installer or my own mistake but when i SSH’d into my iPhone i discovered that i had my entire Application Directory replicated within the Application directory. Very strange..
..
Before i discovered this i could not successfully copy the Installer.app folder into the Application directory. After removing the duplicate directory i had no problems at all and next reboot all was well…
..
It is possible that if the folder Installer.app is replicated anywhere else within the Applications folder this may cause issues.
..
I have 1.1.1 using WinXP via wifi and used the http://hackthatphone.com/downloads/Installer.zip for a fresh copy of Installer_3.09b.
My settings for copying with winscp406.exe were to copy with settings on binary and permissions set to 0755.
..
Hope that helps.

there is an ok button there but it jus wont work no matter how many times i tap on it. so i tap on back button. try tapping on installer and then it shows me the same error msg again.

DANI read this website and learn what you are doing.
http://iphone.ranova.org/
The instructions uptop that i gave you was howto downgrade your installer so that you can actually get it working again. You said when you open installer now it just goes back to the homescreen. To fix that all you have to do is downgrade but you seem to have a hard time doing that, so i recommend you Restore your phone.
Try this link above it has many resources and directions.

is there a way to downgrade back to bsd subsystem 1.5?
still havent seen any clues on how to get screen or irssi working again on bsd subsystem 2.0
does anyone else have these problems?
will upgrading to 1.1.3 fix these issues?
[Reply]
January 31st, 2008 at 9:50 pm
bsd subsystem 2 breaks term vt100 backspace for sure
[Reply]
February 2nd, 2008 at 8:14 am
ok, simple fix:
1) type “bash” when you launch term vt100 on the touch or iphone
or…
2) For the backspace issue, there is a simple fix. Please SSH to your phone or run term-vt100 directly on the phone and create a file “.profile” (without double quotes) in the /var/root directory. Simply put these two lines in and restart term-vt100 and you are good to go.
TERM=ansi
export TERM

A long afternoon of iPhone frustration.
Short version: I had a 1.1.1 jailbroken/hacktivated iPhone. I tried to update to 1.1.3 by first upgrading to 1.1.2 and then using the Dev Team’s upgrader available in Installer. That failed, so I restored to 1.1.1 and then upgraded to 1.1.2. I used Installer to reinstall two of the apps that were erased in the failed upgrade process — Othello and Customize, in that order — but after that, Installer gives me an error message every time I try to install a package. The message is “Error: Package download failed!”
Please help! I’m sad, and mad at myself for taking my wonderfully customized 1.1.1 phone and trashing it …
[Reply]
February 2nd, 2008 at 11:03 pm
Well, I have also had an evening of frustration. I’m trying to downgrade my Installer to 3.0b8, since I too was a victim of a broken 3.0b10. Everything was runnig fine, until I tried to copy the older Installer.app over to the iPod. It kept giving me errors, and wouldn’t copy the entire folder over.
So then I tried it file by file. I figured out that it was the actual script (the file inside “Installer.app” actually named “Installer”). The other file that wouldn’t go over was the OTHER executable named “AppTapp”. Whenever I tried these files, it kept saying that there was problems with the permissions.
I am running Windows, so I went to my OS X machine and tried chmod there. Took it back, still no luck. I booted into LINUX, and tried it THERE. STILL no luck! I have tried everything I can think of, but I cannot get those files onto my iPod! I don’t know what else to do. Ugh.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please??
