I am having same issue. When I first updated, it worked fine.  Then I did a 
Restore
as New Phone and it won't recognize my jailbreak. Please help as I can't 
restore my
SMS and Call History!

I just got a workaround for this locally - but it's a manual process. I'm 
assuming
you used blackra1n to jailbreak? 

As more methods to jailbreak become available some do not register the afc2 
service
which is needed to access the root file system.

I can post a walkthrough if you need it to get this service registered. It's
relatively painless.

That workaround would be great... Please post

Alright, start by downloading:

PList Editor:
http://modmyi.com/forums/windows-specific-modding-discussion/377661-windows-plis
t-editor.html

WinSCP:
http://winscp.net/eng/download.php

Download and install OpenSSH from Cydia then reboot the device. 
Once rebooted open WinSCP and connect to your device. You'll need the IP 
address of
your device on the local network. 

Hostname: <ipaddress>
Username: root
password: alpine

Once logged in, move a copy of /System/Library/Lockdown/Services.plist to your
computer and open it for editing in PList editor.

*** This is important ****

Paste the following key/dict combo above the line that reads
<key>com.apple.crashreportcopy</key> (no ***)

***
    <key>com.apple.afc2</key>
    <dict>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>com.apple.afc2</string>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
            <string>/usr/libexec/afcd</string>
            <string>--lockdown</string>
            <string>-d</string>
            <string>/</string>
        </array>
    </dict>
***

Save the file, move it back over to the device overwriting the current one using
WinSCP (hope you've made a backup) then reboot the device.

After this reboot ipb should be given full access to the file system. As a 
reference
I've attached my Services.plist which may or may not have the same entries so I 
don't
recommend USING it, modify your own.

Let me know if this works out for you.

The only thing I can think of would be to try and use something like ifile from 
cydia to directly make the 
changes to the plist - but that might be a challenge. 

Alternatively if you're feeling risky you could try downloading the attached 
file above from your phone and 
just overwrite it. 

Either way the end goal would be to obtain that plist modification. The wifi 
transfer is the easiest way I 
could think of. Good luck.

@ e.rene.mendez 

Download mobile terminal and do it to it...

I didn't blackra1n (im sticking with 3.0) but from what i understand.

If you can see some folders through iphonebrowser

Download mobile terminal, move the file to a folder that is visable from 
iphonebrowser. 
Copy to computer. 
edit in plist editor. 
copy back to device from iphonebrowser. 
Rename old .plist to .plist.bak 
Copy new services.plist
reboot.

this is all dependent on if iphonebrowser can see ANYTHING as it is.

@jason good thinking, makes sense. 

@Sebastian what os are you on? My mod was to a clean 
3.1.2. I'm thinking imbored was the same.

Oh... someone to make an installation for this and upload it on Cydia????

@ e.rene.mendez

It is a problem with the blackra1n patching, not a matter of the iPhoneBrowser.

Did i just use 'problem' in the same sentence as  'blackra1n'? Geohot, please 
don't 
smite. I meant oversight.

@jason 

thanks mate., 

With the 3G issues going around with ra1n, im sure will see a RC2 soon., maybe 
it
will be patch to work with iphonebrowser.,

A better solution is probably to write something that can be installed from 
Cydia so
it helps all jailbreaks that don't want the overhead of adding afc2 (or forget 
too :) ).

If you install Erica's utilities from Cydia, you can use the following commands 
from
MobileTerminal or an SSH terminal prompt:
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -dict Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -Label -string com.apple.afc2 Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -AllowUnactivatedService -true Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -array Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -arrayadd -string /usr/libexec/afcd
Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -arrayadd -string \"--lockdown\" 
Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -arrayadd -string \"-d\" Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -arrayadd -string / Services.plist

using iFile works like a charm.  send yourself an email with the copy&paste 
text,
copy the text from the email on the phone.  browse to and edit Settings.plist in
iFile and paste in the appropriate place. don;t forget to reboot

How do I do this if I can't activate?
There is a tutorial about hacktivating here
http://www.ilikemyiphone.com/2009/07/04/how-to-hacktivate-your-iphone-3gs-after-
geohots-purplera1n-jailbreakunlock/
But I can't see if it works on 3.1.2 without hacktivating first so that I can 
get
iphonebrowser to work but I can't get iphonebrowser to work without hacktivating
How do I get past this catch 22?

Somehow i don't have services.plist on my iphone. I only have data_ark.plist
And i also can not find the /System/Library/Lockdown/ folder, i have instead : 
/root/Library/Lockdown/
So i copied your file into /root/Library/Lockdown/ but my phone is still 
showing as
not jailbroken in iphoneBrowser.

(i have 3.1.2 jailbroken using blackrain)

I used ifile and fixed my problems with iphonebrowser.  That works fine.  But 
know i
cannot connect to itunes.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?  Any help 
would
be appreciated.

One thing I noticed, and I suspect others may find this useful.

Don't use DHCP to assign an IP address to your iPhone/Touch.  I kept getting 
timeouts
till I set a static address then everything worked fine.

Hope this helps.

Worked for me. I just edited the file, saved it, transferred, rebooted.
