GSM?
Iphone 4 normal not Verizon

So, just in case I missed something: You launch the app, do nothing, close it 
and when you try to re-launch it, the iPhone reboots

[GoogleCodeExporter]

that's correct. The App try open and closed half second after, trying several 
times the iPhone reboots.

OK, sounds like a Bug. I'll see what I can do

thanks by the way

• Changed state: Accepted

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Thanks. There is some way to save a log of app lauch. I can read some pam error 
line xxx but I don't have time enough to read complete line.

Oh, I got those too one day. Only a restore was able to fix, sorry.

I got the same bug. Please hepl

Have you tried restoring your device entirely?
I'm unsure what causes this, since I was unable to reproduce it since then

I've also been unable to reproduce this bugs, without lack of trying. No 
crashes or reboots. Frankly, I don't see how it could possibly reboot the 
phone. I think accepting this bug was premature.

Not sure about the reboot, but it crashes half second after launch.
iOS 4.3.2
Pls let me know if you need more details.
Thanks!

Does the terminal itself have any output before?
Like "PAM Module Error" or something

Original comment by dave.sto...@gmail.com on 1 Jun 2011 at 3:45

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No, it just disappears showing nothing. The icon still can be seen in task bar, 
though. But upon tapping it the same "open and close app window" happens.

Ok, just to ensure it's not a permission problem, ssh into your device as root 
and run the following:
chmod -R 0777 /Applications/Terminal.app

Then reboot and try again.

Original comment by dave.sto...@gmail.com on 1 Jun 2011 at 4:02

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yeah, I did just that. Unfortunately, all symptoms still stand.
I wonder if I could enable some logging to help you investigate this.

iPhone 3GS with AT&T.
Issue:  Install MobileTerminal (tried 511-1), launch app, shuts down a second 
later.  Installed using Cydia, but also later installed using WinSCP.
*Mine did not reboot the iphone after re-launching it several times.

Resolution:  Uninstalled MobileTerminal after installing CyDelete, because it 
would not delete from Cydia.  Downloaded MobileTerminal_520-1_iphoneos-arm.deb, 
then launched WinSCP, logged into iphone, copied over 520-1, then executed 
using dpkg -i.  It displayed, "Setting up MobileTerminal...." something like 
that (forgot to take a screenshot).  I waited several minutes, but did not see 
a "finished" or "completed" sign.  Rebooted the iphone, MobileTerminal icon 
appeared, launched the icon, it displayed, "loading...", briefly then provided 
me with the command prompt as expected.  Works for me now, so hopefully this 
can help others.

Anyone else having this problem, try ssh-ing into your phone and running 
MobileTerminal directly that way form the command line.  (ie, via 
/Applications/MobileTerminal.app/...).  If it crashes you should get some kind 
of log message.

Also, I imagine there is a console log somewhere that might have some details.  
Not sure, since I don't have an iPhone.

Hello, I have the same problem (Ipod touch 4.2.1) I did what suggested here 
above: ssh to my device and launch terminal. Here is the returned message:

iPod-Guy:/var/mobile root# /Applications/Terminal.app/Terminal
dyld: Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_UITile
  Referenced from: /Applications/Terminal.app/Terminal

I'll try building rev520 for 4.2.1 and upload a zipped version of it.
As for me, it sounds like a compile-time/linking bug

Sorry, it seems like it'd take some time to get this jenga-style code compiled 
and running for me.

Additionally, I'll mark this issue as Priority-High

Original comment by dave.sto...@gmail.com on 30 Jul 2011 at 10:21

• Added labels: Priority-High
• Removed labels: Priority-Medium

UITile missing means you're using the old version from Cydia, that hasn't 
worked for years.  (See half of the email to the google group)

Get a newer version here:
http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/downloads/list
or here:
http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/wiki/Installation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

You are right Allen, I was using the old version of MobileTerminal from 
Cydia/Telesphoreo repository. It was a newly jailbroken Ipod touch.
I follow the link you suggested
http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/wiki/Installation
choose the easiest method (add the YourCydiaRepo) installed version 520-1. In 
30 seconds I was done and I can use the terminal.
Perfect many thanks

However, that does not solve the original issue

Original comment by dave.sto...@gmail.com on 31 Jul 2011 at 8:13

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Agreed.  We need details about that issue (crash reports, a console error 
message, anything)

i have the same issue. trying to launch app (520-1, iphone4, ios4.3.3)  from 
springboard twice an found my iphone rebooting itself. when i'm trying to 
launch the app via ssh (eighter as root or mobile) i don't get an error like 
#19, but nothing happens: no app launch appers on the device screen although 
beeing executed. closed the app using ctrl-c and did not end up in a rebooting 
device.

there are no crash logs or reports except a panic report. it's attached. could 
be meaningless but it is everthing i could get...

I'm having the same issue on iOS 5, on an iPod touch 4th gen. When I open 
mobile terminal it says something like "press any key to restart" and beneath 
that it says "[process completed]." ocasionally I as a Pam error, but that is 
only have the time. After mobile terminal displays that output it crashes and 
closes. I've tried using ldid to fake code sign it, chmod -R 777 
/Applications/Terminal.app, and rebooting a couple of times, reinstalling it, 
but nothing has helped. Additionally I tried launching terminal over ssh and it 
ran, but nothing appeared on screen, I ended up killing it with a ^C.

Same Error happened to me when I jailbroke my iPod 4th gen today. IOS 5.0.1. I 
get that PAM error and the on second attempt it reboots the device. I tried 
installing it with the listed method too but no use. Help!!

Last night I installed the gmail app. It ran once and then no apps from the 
Apple app store were able to run.  They all ran for a second and then closed.  
Strangely, all cydia and Mobileterminal continued to work. I deleted all cache 
files and all the Apple Store apps and restored from my Mac (except gmail) and 
it was fixed.   I recommend the same.

I'm experiencing almost exactly the same scenario as the poster in comment 28: 
just upgraded my iPhone 4 to 5.0.1, jailbroke, installed MobileTerminal 520-1 
-- it runs once with the PAM error (trying to get a screenshot), then quits, 
and on the second attempt, it reboots.

I have had almost the same problem as number 28. I am on an iPod though 4th iOS 
5.0.1. I can open it twice then the screen goes white and it reboots. 

Original comment by Jvolz...@gmail.com on 22 Jan 2012 at 3:22

I have the same problem with IOS 5.O.1:
Every time i open mobile terminal(520-1)it shows:

"login:PAM error (line 396): system error
[Process Completed]
Press any key to restart"

Then the App closed half a second after.
If i try another time to open it the iPhone reboots.

Please help me fix this problem. Thanks!

I finally found the solution for the PAM error.
Reinstall system-cmds, PAM (Apple) and PAM modules solved the issues.
It works.

Thanks.
