frank, you’re not making much sense. Where exactly are you stuck?

did you manage to connect to the iPhone from putty?(no, not winscp, this is another meal altogether). If not, you might want to READ the actual post(and the one linked from it) instead of just looking at the video.

I took a thorough look at the video. What the guy does is, after entering the password, he types :

cd /
ls
cd /var/mobile/Library/
ls

.. and then he starts the chown stuff

Can somebody just give like a step by step process of how to do this please?

1. make sure iphone is on and connected
2. login using root and alpine on winscp
3. use putty to enter commands.

That is where I am stuck. In this video the guy enters some typing right before he enters the chown and all of that stuff. What is it? It looks like a ‘06 /’ but teh video is too damn blurry to see

SOPMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE!!!

# chown -R mobile /var/mobile/
dyld: Library not loaded: libarmfp.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/bin/chown
Reason: unsafe use of relative path libarmfp.dylib in /usr/bin/chown with setuid binary

I`ll have a iPhone ,16 GB,1.1.4 version,jailbroked.
For many applications I`ll need a 2.0 version but I`m afraid that when I`ll do the upgrade I`ll block the guy.
What is your recommendation?

I found another solution that should be suitable to people not having jailbreaked iPhone, and therefore not able to ssh into it.

The culprit file is corrrupted into your backup, so no matter how many time you restore your iphone, it will be restored as-is, and wrong.

The solution is to delete it from your iphone backup before restoring :

Open a terminal window, and type :

grep “Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist” ~/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup/*/*

If you have one backup, as most people do, you should have only one line as a result. delete this file from the mentioned directory, and restore again.
