Crashes or locks up on 3G with iOS4

[GoogleCodeExporter]

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.

What happens when you run the terminal from the command line over SSH?

I get the same issue. 

Restored device twice. 

used redsn0w once with Mac, and once with Window's. 
Get mobile terminal crashes at start up.

Same exact problem, though mobile terminal shows up in the multi-tasking, quick 
switch bar, it minimizes or crashes every time it is pulled up.

iPhone 3G, iOS4, redsn0w on Mac

I have that same issue.  I can however connect with ssh on terminal in ubuntu 
and it works fine.

I can confirm this also happens on iPod Touch 2G, iOS 4.0 Final Release with 
Redsn0w (Windows) 0.9.5b5-3.

I re-ran the redsnow jailbreak on my 3G and decided to disable multitasking 
(after dealing with a sluggish battery guzzling phone all day).   All I did was 
re-run redsnow and unchecked the 3G multitasking box, ran cydia twice and let 
update whatever it thought was appropriate, and now there is some version of 
mobile terminal on my phone that is working.  I didn't connect to itunes at 
all.  I think I'm running the 426 dev build - mobile terminal looks different 
than I remember ... clicking on the (i) icon sends me to a page where none of 
the preferences do anything.  About doesn't do anything so I can't read back 
version.

This may or may not help, but I ran it (426 Unstable) through SSH on the 
command line and got this:

iPhone:/Applications/Terminal.app mobile$ ./Terminal
dyld: Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_UITile
  Referenced from: /private/var/stash/Applications.Hh7WNY/Terminal.app/./Terminal

I can confirm the same error message as HapeMask's on an iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4.0

I tested version 426 (iPad beta unstable) and it is working but none of the 
settings menus are (maybe this is due to the unstable status)

Same here just did a restore to ios4 and jailbroke it with redsn0w 0.9.5b.  
Afterwards installed mobileterminal (364.1-10) via Cydia installer.  Upon 
launching you see the keyboard momentarily and then it goes back to the main 
screen.

v364 is known to not be working -- it will never work because it depends on 
private APIs that are missing on the phone.

From my reading of this bug it sounds like people are reprting that v426 is 
working.  There are some conflicting reports, but I expect they are confusion 
about which version is installed, or a bad jailbreak.     It is missing a lot 
of features because it is a complete re-write.    See 
http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/wiki/Roadmap for more details.

I can confirm v426 works perfectly on iOS 4.0 jailbroken with redsn0w on ipod 
tough 2G

I confirm 426 to be working on iOS 4.0 as well, on iPhone 3G, custom jailbroken 
image create with PwnageTool. Thanks for you hard work, Allen :)

I had to delete the old 364.1-10 from Cydia and copy 426 to the Application 
folder. Coping over the folder didn't work . Then has to "chomd 644 *" then 
"chmod ugo+x Terminal" in the Terminal.app Directory (3GS, ios 4, jailbroken 
with PwnageTool)

Please read my reply above before posting if you are running any version less 
than 426.

How long until this new version will be in Cydia? I am having huge problems 
SSH'ing into phone (problem with latest SBSettings I believe) and need 
MobileTerminal to work on getting it resolved.

MobileTerminal releases appear on the googlecode site -- If you want to make 
them available via Cydia you are welcome to.  (I have never released 
mobileterminal via Cydia, but somehow it always ends up there)

Version 426 works fine on my 3G with 4.0 installed and multitasking enabled.  I 
had to restart the phone after upgrading with dpkg.

had the same problem, downloaded v426, fixed permissions and rebooted... it 
works.

Note: it dint work before rebooting

Original comment by orvt...@gmail.com on 27 Jul 2010 at 7:30

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! :-)

Worked on iphone4 8gb 4.0.1

Downloaded http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BOLJJMFG
Used iPhoneBrowser to copy .deb to /var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall
Rebooted & resprung, but had to reboot again for the icon to show.

Seems to work, though the only gestures I can perform are copy/paste.

Don't forget to change your root passwds!

the manual install of mobileterminal v426 (via the deb file) works fine.
iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.0.1, jailbroken via jailbreakme.com.

I installed this on my ipod 2.1, running iOS 4.0, Cydia 1.0.3222-73

From the GUI the application starts and quick exits.

If I ssh into the ipod and run the terminal from command prompt, I got this 
message :

-----
ipod:/Applications/Terminal.app root# ./Terminal 
dyld: Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_UITile
  Referenced from: /private/var/stash/Applications/Terminal.app/./Terminal
  Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/UIKit

Trace/BPT trap

Looks like a compilation issues.

Hope this is usefull

Mobileterminal launches and disappears to background.. Installed via Cydia,

I can also confirm v426 working on iPhone4/iOS4 with a few bugs. Swipe gestures 
not working and preferences menu is broken. Fixing gestures should be a 
priority as inputting control sequences is a long tedious process with the 
bullet character.

Original comment by LiLboi...@gmail.com on 2 Aug 2010 at 10:56

I found the issue with the crashing.
With a clean, fresh install, nothing else on my iPod 2G on iOS 4, the ownership 
on Terminal.app must be root:admin.
The permissions on the executable, /Applications/Terminal.app/Terminal, must be 
755.

As always, you can check out 
http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/wiki/Roadmap for details on what 
features are prioritized and planned.  Volunteers are welome to implement these 
features.

I can confirm that lpq430's solution (comment 37) works. I'm using an iPad 
3.2.1 and, after manually copying v426 to the iPad (using SFTP), I had to 
recursively change permissions to 755 and ownership to root:admin. Now 
mobileterminal opens and runs.

Same issue with iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.1

App launches then disappears into the background.

More over, breaks sync for me. iTunes reports error 0xE8004002 and can't 
complete sync.

Removing terminal app cures this.

Sync and app work fine after lpq430's solution for me(iphone 3gs with 4.0.1).  
Make sure you get the perms right on all files.

when launched.

The version in Cydia won't work -- its not the latest.    Sorry, but how many 
times do we need to explain that on this Issue? (See comment 11).

Nice job! It works alright by copying the Terminal-426-unstable.zip to 
/private/var/stash/Applications/ with scp.

scp Terminal-426-unstable.zip root@192.168.1.10:/private/var/stash/Applications/
or again, with pscp:
pscp Terminal-426-unstable.zip 
root@192.168.1.10:/private/var/stash/Applications/

Then:
ssh root@192.168.1.10
unzip Terminal-426-unstable.zip

respring

voila

By the way, you need to have openssh and unzip package for this to work.

Once connected via ssh, don't forget to change your root password because by 
default the root password is alpine.

How to change it?

su - 
type password (alpine)
passwd  (type that)
change your password :)
