Crashes or locks up on 3G with iOS4 #172

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Installed iOS4 + redsnow jailbreak on my 3G
2. Installed MobileTerminal from cydia (got 364.1-10)
3. Downloaded 426 unstable, unzipped on windows, scp'ed the unzipped copy of 
Terminal.app over install on iphone.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect a command prompt.  On 364 the keyboard appears briefly and then the app 
closes.  On 426 it stays longer, but still doesn't let me type anything or show 
a prompt and eventually disappears.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

3G / iOS4 / windows7

Please provide any additional information below.

ssh works, so bash is working.

Well it took some time to find this page and yeah this fixes it. But it 
certainly took a long time (31 comments) for someone to actually tell us non 
tech heads how to actually get and install this fix. So for that, thanks to 
schice (#31) and subsequent posters. Especially about where to put it and what 
to do with it ;^P

@Cory and Christ, you both refer to the FSM page, but as Alan has said it has 
nothing to do with Curl, so I don't think this author knows what he's really 
talking about. 

Anyway, glad to get this fixed.. woot woot

If Allen would like to get MobileTerminal 426 in Cydia, he should personally 
contact one of the major repositories, such as BigBoss, to get it hosted. The 
repository maintainers do not like (nor should they like) working with third 
parties who are trying to get stuff hosted, as it means that maintenance and 
other correspondence will be going through someone largely uninvolved. Please: 
DO NOT submit MobileTerminal to Cydia unless you are Allen Porter.

As for the current MobileTerminal package in Cydia, it is much more functional 
than revision 426, but does not currently work on iOS 4. What made 
MobileTerminal useful/interesting was its intricate gesture support, allowing 
for modifiers like control, special keys like escape, and entire commands to be 
bound to fast movements on the screen. MobileTerminal 426, meanwhile, doesn't 
even support scrolling the terminal screen.

It is therefore incredibly depressing to the core community of users of 
MobileTerminal that the development has taken the direction it has: users of 
the existing copy of MobileTerminal simply cannot be upgraded to the "latest" 
release, as it frankly is an entirely unrelated project. It is my personal 
opinion that Allen should have renamed this new version of MobileTerminal to 
something different, like "MobileTerminal Redux" or something, to indicate this.

Due to this confusion, when and if MobileTerminal "426" is released to Cydia, 
it simply cannot be listed as a direct upgrade to MobileTerminal "364". When 
and if this occurs, the current "MobileTerminal" package will be renamed to 
"MobileTerminal Classic" or something, but retain its package identifier, so 
existing users can safely continue using it until MobileTerminal manages to 
regain the functionality that it once had.

Now, it /is/ understood that users of MobileTerminal on iOS 4 currently have 
issues. However, in the grand scheme of things, not many people were actually 
using iOS 4 on jailbroken devices until the very recent jailbreakme.com exploit 
release last week. In order to maintain the current level of functionality for 
these users, I have been forced (again) to step in and maintain the old 
(awesome) branch of MobileTerminal. I do not like doing this, and was hoping 
someone else would step up to the plate, but I will continue to do so until 
such time as there is a viable replacement. :(

Users who wish to help test this new version can obtain it at the following 
direct .deb URL. It should be noted that this revision isn't quite right on all 
devices, having some interesting visual artifacts due to the new way in which 
it is being rendered. I believe that this can be fixed, but I may end up 
pushing this release anyway with the old binary also included, doing a 
selection "is the user on iOS 4? ok, then use XXX binary" when the program is 
run.

@saurik awesome work! MobileTerminal just got usable again :-)

Aside from the low-resolution-ness on the iPhone 4 and a few crashes, seems to 
be working just like it used to! And I agree, definitely don't push out the 
current version of MobileTerminal as a direct replacement for the old one until 
it gets much more mature... Does Cydia have a mechanism for different versions 
to be installed depending on OS version/device? Or would that need to be 
something you add in?

Hello,
I also experience the issues described by the OP.
Release version displays black on screen then app minimises (task is still 
running in background), but 426 doesn't open at all.

How can I subscribe to receive update information?
I'm just trying to change my default root password so I don't have to keep 
installing & uninstalling OpenSSH just to stay safe.

Thankyou,
Dax.

Dax: To subscribe to this issue, you need to "star" the issue, and you will get 
e-mail updates. If you have OpenSSH installed, you can change the password by 
logging in using an ssh client (just 'ssh' on unix or get PuTTY for Windows). 
You change the password through the ssh client the same way you would with 
mobileterminal - namely, run 'passwd'.

Here is a solution which worked for me.
Download Putty for Windows from

Login to your iphone and change the passwd

saurik, thanks again!  I used Winscp to move the updated mobileterminal package 
to the AutoInstall directory and after a hard restart and respring it showed up 
and works great.

Now if I could just figure out how to get the background to change for 3g on 
iOS4 ugh

glaskart is very bland with just a black background haha

Winterboard?

Original comment by dave.sto...@gmail.com on 1 Sep 2010 at 1:32

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
@dave

I do have Winterboard but 3g with OS4 have their background wallpapers locked 
to default unless you install a theme that changes it. Problem is the whole 
point of the Glaskart theme is to use a user wallpaper with the translucent 
icons to make it look cool.

I did however just find a fix for re-enable the ability to set a background for 
3g phones with OS4

I had to create the Cydia & AutoInstall directories.

@simon:

Another way would be to simply copy the .deb to ~/ (/var/mobile) and either use 
(sudo dpkg -i mobileterminal*.deb) or open it with iFile and install it.
After that, only a reload of the springboard or a respring is necessiary (<-- 
hopefully spelled right)

426 works with 3GS 32GB with AutoInstall!

De-Install MobileTerminal.

Download the deb file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/40168036...rminal-426.deb

Then load your SSH client. (I prefer T-PoT for Total Commander to copy files)

Browse to /var/root/Media/

Create a new folder called Cydia and inside that folder another folder called 
AutoInstall (both are case-sensitive) -- With T-PoT you can create the Folders 
on your hard disk and move them to the Media folder if you don't know the 
correct commands to create folders.

Now copy the .deb file into the AutoInstall folder. Then reboot AND respring.

After the reboot it will be installed, after the respring you will find it on 
your springboard!

Works fine for me on a JB iPhone 3G 0s4.0

I to had the same problem with mobileterminal_364.1-10 on a 3GS running 4.0.1
I manually installed the 364.3-12 as above (I had to create the folders and 
copied the .deb file using iphonebrowser as my SSH is also not working for me), 
respring mobile and start cydia, updated deb gets applied with a warning and 
terminal now works.

Thanks all
