with 9 comments

If you haven’t jailbreak your iPhone 2.0 firmware, you have to restore your iPhone and set it up as a new phone. Yes. You will lose many data, including SMS.

If you have jailbroken your iPhone 2.0, you can fix it by ssh’ing into your iPhone and run the following command:

chown mobile /var/mobile/Library/Mail /var/mobile/Library/Cookies/ /var/mobile/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist

  1. Hi, I am desperately trying to get Mail working on jailbroken iPhone 2.0. Have installed Open SSH and have run “ssh root@xxx.xxx.x.xx”

    but I get the following message

    The authenticity of host ‘xxx.xxx.x.xx(xxx.xxx.x.xx)’ can’t be established.
    RSA key fingerprint is ed:df:14:f6:87:c6:74:36:0c:3a:45:02:e8:c5:20:f2.
    Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

    What do I do next? Pressing return means yes?

    Sorry it’ll probably sound stupid to you, but I have not the clue what to do.

    Thanks!

  8. Do you outsource your graphic work for your website? I like them and would be interested in knowing who did yours! I’m in the process of designing my template for my new blog but having a hard time. Looking to pay someone to help.
