FrequentlyAskedQuestions  
This is our FAQ. Please read it before sending me emails!
  1. Can it jailbreak/activate OTB 1.1.2 iPhones?
  2. YES. Just follow the instructions (downgrade to 1.1.1 required though).
  3. Can it UNLOCK OTB 1.1.2 iPhones?
  4. Not yet (there is no unlock available for these phones). iD2.1 should implement this, provided there's a possible fix.
  5. I haven't received the guide even though I paid for it!
  6. PayLoadz seems to be less-than-reliable. Often the links expire for some reason, so if this happens email me, don't start a Paypal issue. If you didn't even get a link in the email, check your spam, or send me an email.
  7. How safe is iDemocracy?
  8. It's pretty darn safe! The only real way to mess up is to not follow instructions very carefully. Read the whole set of steps through completely before starting. Make sure you understand everything.
  9. Which firmwares/basebands does iDemocracy support?
  10. iDemocracy supports iPhones running firmware 1.1.1 and earlier. There is a good chance that iDemocracy 2 will support 1.1.2. As for baseband, I'm not sure, but as long as you have a locked/virginized iPhone you should be OK.
  11. Is there going to be a Mac version?
  12. Due to the overwhelming requests from all my users for an OS X version, I plan on writing one... eventually. The defining factor in this development is, naturally, a Mac platform. Keep donating to my fund for a MacBook and you'll get a faster response.
  13. I get various errors when trying to run iDemocracy or its various mini-app-things
  14. Make sure you have all the requirements: Windows XP or Vista, and the .NET Framework 2.0 (3.0 for some of the new apps like the Countdown).
  15. I get a "Timeout" error or Server error from Putty/Plink/PSCP.
  16. This happens to a few people. Check that your iPhone and computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and that the IP Address you've entered is accurate. Also make sure you've installed SSH.
  17. My iPhone thinks it's an iPod!!
  18. I haven't got a clue why this happens but I'm working on it. If you have any more information on this problem, send me an email at idemocracy@gmail.com
  19. Which file do I download?
  20. If you want iDemocracy, download iDemocracy.zip. If you have problems with Installer.app after iDemocracy, get the Installer.app Fix. If you need to activate your phone, get the iDemocracy Activator. If this doesn't make things any clearer, check the front page for links and details.
  21. How do I activate my iPhone if I'm not on AT&T?
  22. Grab the iDemocracy Activator 1.3 from the Downloads section and run it and you should be good to go, provided that you have either a jailbroken 1.0.2, or a jailbroken and Read-Write Forced 1.1.1 iPhone.
  23. When does the next version of iDemocracy come out, and what new features will be supported?
  24. I think I will have it done and released sometime in November. As for the features, it will have integrated activation, Installer.app fix built in, more available functions, etc... And some more big features :). See the iDemocracy2 Wiki Page for the latest information.
  25. Do you have an automated revirginizer tool or any tools for additional features?
  26. At the moment the only tools available with additional features are iDemocracy Activator 1.3 and the Installer.app Fix. However, with some luck, there'll be some good stuff coming :)
  27. The suspense is killing me! What other features are coming with iDemocracy 2?!!
  28. All in good time, friend.
  29. Do I really NEED a virgin (i.e. not unlocked) iPhone to use this software?
  30. iTunes will very likely brick your iPhone if it's unlocked by any method, including iPhoneSimFree and anySIM, so it is highly recommended that you revirginize before using this software. Check the ModMyiFone forums for more info on this process.
  31. I used your Activator on 1.1.1 and now YouTube doesn't work! What's going on?
  32. Some people have this issue, though CARNAVAL is supposed to take care of YouTube, so I haven't a clue why this happens. I'm looking into it.
  33. Do you want to work with me on this/that project?
  34. Please send a detailed email to idemocracy@gmail.com outlining the project and what you want me to do in it, as well as any previous work you've done pertaining to the iPhone, and I may consider helping you out. If I reject your proposal, it just means I'm way too busy to help or I feel I can't be of much assistance (or it's a really, really bad idea).
  35. Parlai italiano? Hablas español? Deutsch, Francais, русский?
  36. I speak little Italian and Spanish, but nothing else. Please send emails in English or I may not be able to get back to you.

This FAQ is frequently updated. Please check it before sending me emails. If you ask me a question already posted here I will simply redirect you to the FAQ.


Comment by qaseem5, Nov 05, 2007

I want to menage my 3rd party applications from my windows computer on an already unlocked iphone will idemocracy work for me? i will greatly appreate your responce.

Comment by iDemocracy, Nov 05, 2007

Not quite yet, qaseem5. Someday soon though :) iDemocracy 1.1 is currently only for the jailbreaking.

Comment by raj.thevar, Nov 06, 2007

I assume that iD2 must be on the verge of release. But t would be great if it could counter-attack 1.1.2(launching this Friday) and iTunes 7.5(already up and running on apple.com).

Having said that, there are still users running previous firmwares like 1.0.2 and 1.0.1 that are unlocked by simfree. Will iD2 take care of them and help them virginize,upgrade and jailbreak?

Comment by tinilicious, Nov 09, 2007

i bought an iphone off ebay which was unlocked version1.1.1. i played around with ibrickr trying to install it(yes, im an idiot. biggest mistake) and somehow through that restored and downgraded to 1.0.2. so the phone now needs activation. so far i have restored it to 1.1.1 but it's still needs activation. what can i do to make it fully unlocked, myself? i use pc btw. really hope you can help me.

Comment by luca.ceci, Nov 12, 2007

Very goog work !!! :D

a few question... i need a wifi connections to use iDemocracy?? (pc-router-iphone) I hope not....

Comment by iDemocracy, Nov 12, 2007

luca.ceci: Glad you like the work so far! iDemocracy 1.1 will not work for you without Wi-Fi! Wi-Fi is absolutely essential.

However, iDemocracy 2.0 is different :) My advice is to wait for the 16th and your problems just might be solved.

Comment by luca.ceci, Nov 13, 2007

Wait, i explain bad I have wifi on pc, i don't have router wifi e internet connections... Is sufficent?

otherwise i'll wait for 16th....

P.S. sorry for my english..i'm italian ;) i think your work is exceptional!! Thanks! ;)

Comment by iDemocracy, Nov 13, 2007

If your PC and your iPhone have Wi-Fi you have no problems with v1.1 However, if you want a quicker, Wi-Fi-less way, wait a little while longer.

Comment by luca.ceci, Nov 14, 2007

I'll wait for 2.0, thanks al lot..

Comment by jeronimorv, Nov 14, 2007

hi, i have the "no wifi", "bad imei", "no bluetooth" problem, will i be able to restore, jailbreak, activate and unlock my iphone with the new version? if not please help, there's a lot of people all over the net with a similar problem. thanks.

Comment by iDemocracy, Nov 14, 2007

@jeronimorv: With iD2 you just might be able to using the newly developed CARNAVAL-based Non-WiFi? super-quick Jailbreak 1.1.1 method... as long as you can connect your iPhone with the cable you can restore and jailbreak without need of WiFi? (in under 5 minutes!!). That should solve your problem :)

Comment by winner78, Nov 15, 2007

I have a ver 1.0.2, jailbreaked with iBrickr, unlocked using i.unlock.no (iUnlock). Not upgraded yet as waiting on a tool which will allow me to do that, make YouTube? work, make T-Mobile work in US, bluetooth-edge etc. work, and run version 1.1.2 all in one.

I am waiting on iD2 for the same, do you think that is a correct assumption? If yes, will it cover revirginizing, downloading correct version upgrades, and unlocking all in one? Of course, the other promised apps in iD2 are a bonus :-)

Comment by winner78, Nov 15, 2007

an update - my above question was basically because your following warning (http://code.google.com/p/idemocracy/) had me confused on what to expect in iD2:

" Please DO NOT use this software on an unlocked iPhone!! If your iPhone is unlocked for non-AT&T SIM cards, iTunes will very likely brick it during the upgrade/downgrade process."

Comment by iDemocracy, Nov 15, 2007

@winner78: If you're unlocked it's not a good idea to try an upgrade with iTunes as you'll likely get bricked. What you need to do is wait for iD2, use it to revirginize, then continue with the process of upgrading to 1.1.1/1.1.2

Comment by johnc86, Nov 16, 2007

Hi, I'm excited to see your 1.1.2 jailbreaking software (iD2). I noticed you pointed out that you need a virgin iphone and it will not sim-unlock.

So am I right in thinking that, on my unmodified 1.1.2 iPhone, which i hope to continue using with the 02 UK contract that came with the iphone, it'll work fine and offer me lots of third party applications? I don't need to use any other sim cards, I just want applications.

Comment by iDemocracy, Nov 16, 2007

iD2 should jailbreak and activate for you if you're not planning on unlocking. I haven't tested this, however, so there's always some uncertainty :)

Comment by Ratik.Aurora, Nov 16, 2007

hi there....this is the first time im using this program and have to tell you it rocks!!!! i have unlocked and done all the iphone dance on mac thus far.... i have one question for you....i noticed iD2 allows one to fix the sms app and the keypad dialing problem....now i am already on 1.1.2 and resolved the issue by going to frameworks and then hex-editing the 'appsupport file' to make it work in india...do u suggest i run the iD2 fix as well or is it not required.....secondly if i may also ask u this....now that i have edited the aforementioned file do u think i will have a problem when i am on international roaming as i have customised the file to work in india...thanx a ton...cheers ratik

Comment by iDemocracy, Nov 16, 2007

@Ratik.Aurora: If you did the whole process already, there's no need to do it again :) And I don't think you'll have problems with international roaming if you edited the file. Glad you like the project!

Comment by SwtCpl, Nov 17, 2007

pscp keep saying access denied! i don't know what to do :( Symlink won't install either.. I guess it's probably because of the same error. The program seems great anyway, but i must be doing something wrong I guess. The ip is right, i have 192.168.1.102 on iphone and 192.168.1.101 on notebook. please help

Comment by iDemocracy, Nov 17, 2007

@SwtCpl?: Do you have OpenSSH installed? You need it to be installed...

Comment by SwtCpl, Nov 17, 2007

Yes, it installs correctly. If I don't have it installed it says request timed out or something. It connects to the iphone, but the iphone refuses the connection I guess. I'm starting over, maybe I have done something wrong.

Comment by pippogio0, Nov 17, 2007

i have windows xp with i tunes 7.5 do i need to install un older version of i tunes ?

thanks

Comment by bbosiak, Nov 17, 2007

Does iDemocracy work also with iPhone UK?

Comment by kyle.prince, Nov 17, 2007

Well my iphone is broken, i followed all the steps and now it stuck at the connect to itunes screen, i've tried everything and it wont restore!!! DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM ON A UK IPHONE RUNNING 1.1.2 WHATEVER YOU DO

Comment by fichot.sebastien, Nov 17, 2007

kyle prince > this was clearly written on the first page. You're dumb.

Comment by tonioiphone, Nov 17, 2007

Hola, mi iphone original tenia el firmware 1.0.2 lo actualice a 1.1.1 todo perfecto, luego lo pase a 1.1.2 y empezaron los problemas, lo he bajado a 1.0.2 pero no consigo virginizarlo de ningún modo, el baseband tampoco se puede bajar, y tengo el 4.02.13_G imposible bajarlo. he restaurado al 1.1.1 pero se queda la pantalla diciendo que conecte a itunes y no puedo pasar avanzar. le pongo los siguientes comandos cmd setenv auto-boot true

cmd saveenv cmd fsboot
pero no funciona, AYUDA PORFAVOR!!!!!!! :(

Comment by tonioiphone, Nov 17, 2007

otra cosa más, intento virginizar con el idemocracy 2 y me da un error de "invalid port number" .... alguna solución???

Comment by kyle.prince, Nov 17, 2007

actually it says you can use it to jailbreak it but not unlock which is what I'm wanting to do.

Comment by techgooroo, Nov 17, 2007

I too have had problems running Symlink and getting "access denied"... And the iDemocracy 2 Installer doesn't allow for other sources to be installed, what gives? How can I add other sources for more packages?

Comment by iDemocracy, Nov 17, 2007

@toniophone: Cual firmware hay en tu iPhone ahora? Para virginizar, necesitas el firmware 1.0.2 en tu iPhone y tienes que jailbreak el iPhone 1.0.2 y instalar OpenSSH antes de virginizar. Despues de virginizarlo, puedes instalar el firmware 1.1.1 y usar "Short Method" en iD2. Luego, puedes usar el "1.1.2 Method" para hacer el jailbreak al firmware 1.1.2. Por fin, debes tener un iPhone 1.1.2 jailbroken. Si tienes problemas, escriba una carta electronica a idemocracy@gmail.com.

Comment by iDemocracy, Nov 17, 2007

@techgooroo: Access denied means OpenSSH didn't install properly, most probably. And the Installer.app packaged with iD2 should allow for more sources. (Is it upgraded to 3.0b8 or whatever is latest?)

Comment by techgooroo, Nov 17, 2007

OpenSSH installed in at least a functioning state (I am using ssh.com's client to connect successfully). Is there so other sort of configured state that SSH needs to be in?

Comment by pippogio0, Nov 17, 2007

hi I HAVE WINDOWS XP WITH I TUNES 7.5 DO I NEED INSTALL UN OLDER VERSION ?

THANKS

Comment by davidsme...@online.de, Nov 17, 2007

Hello, I'm from germany and currently in the US and I received my US iPhone with OOB 1.1.2 last week. Is it safe to use iD2 at this stage without unlocking, or will it prevent me from the (desperately awaited) unlocking later on? Kind regards, Olaf

Comment by uncletubbie, Nov 17, 2007

i always get error with Symlink when trying upgrade after jailbreak and activation. i have an out the box 1.1.2 o2uk bootloader 4.x

Comment by andymidc...@btopenworld.com, Nov 17, 2007

Hi I want to buy an iphone next weekend in the U.S but I guess it will be the new 1.1.2 version. You say iD2 can jailbrake and activate this version but not unlock it- so what will this enable me to do? Can I still use it for ipod stuff? And will I be able to unlock later? - should I wait to confirm there will be a solution to 1.1.2 Thanks Andy

Comment by cer5061, Nov 17, 2007

Is it possible and safe to delete the Stocks app off of my iPhone using iDemocracy?

Comment by Alex.Velez.S, Nov 17, 2007

Hola, esto es para ti "TONOIOPHONE" yo tube el mismo problema exactamente pero mi iphone tenia la version de 1.1.1 inicial, lo desbloquee sin problemas y listo, pero cuando actualizo para el 1.1.2 me causo infinidad de problemas entre ellos perder mis contactos, de hecho ahorita lo tengo casi al 100% pero aun tengo problemas.

Al grano como le hice finalmente, si no lo tienes bloqueado lo que tienes que hacer es:

1. Entra a modo de restauracion y repara al 1.0.2 completo, y asi tendras el iphone en 1.0.2 con modem 3.1 o algo asi, si no funciona intenta el downgrade de nuevo, pero asegurate de que este conectado tu telefono a la base y tambien a la wiFi.

2. Otro modo es entra a panel de control en windows, herramientas de administrativas, servicios y dale click en finalizar "apple movile device" ya que cierre vuelve a activarlo y cierra esa ventana. Ahora concta tu telefono e intenta hacer el downgrade desde idemocracy 2.0, si no se puede intenta el downgrade completo y te lo hara con el modem la version 3.0 y ya posteriormente continuas con todo el proceso del jailbreak.

AHORA NECESITO AYUDA !!!!!!!! HELP MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Actualice mi iphone a la version 1.1.2 por lo cual tuve un buen de problemas, ya lo recupere pero ahora tengo el problema de que en la version 1.1.1 no me reconoce el total de la memoria del iphone. Como le puedo hacer?????????

I charge mi iphone with 1.1.2 version, and finally unlocked to 1.1.1 with jailbreak, but my disc memory is only of 300MB how can I take back my 8 GB to my iphone.

Comment by Henryw...@hotmail.com, Nov 18, 2007

I have successfully jailbroken my NEW "Out of the Box" Week 45 - 1.1.2 Firmware with the latest Modem Firmware and bootloader 4.06, but now waiting for a solution to unlock the SIM... I do know that AnySim?? 1.2u does not work for this new phone, so I never tried it. Does anyone know of a solution right now (Nov 18, 2007), or am I on the same boat everyone else is, which is waiting for iDemocracy 2.1 to be available? Thanks.

Comment by djf...@hotmail.com, Nov 18, 2007

thx a lot for ur help

Comment by Henryw...@hotmail.com, Nov 18, 2007

This is Funny... I guess I came here for Help, and it turns out I am ahead of the crowd! ;-) Afterall... This is the place where iDemocracy came from... That is what I used folks! I did a simple search, and found the steps to do it very easily. But... I do believe in what goes around comes around, so hopefully I will get my question answered soon... OK... Here it is in a nutshell... (These instructions are for a Brand New iPhone with the serial number of 45 or higher, which is the week of production by Apple INC. For those who don't know, that is the 4th and 5th digit of your serial number.)

First, Downgrade to 1.1.1. through DFU. Use the AppSnapp? method to jailbreak your 1.1.1 Phone. Then OctoPrep? the Phone through Installer. Connect to itunes and click "Update" to the newest 1.1.2. (Don't RESTORE) Then finally... Use the awesome iDemocracy 2.0, click on the 1.1.2 Tab, click on the Big button on the left that says "Jailbreak 1.1.2." Then you reboot iPhone, it will then reboot again automatically after you reboot, and Bara Bing Bara Boom, my new iphone that was originally stock from Apple running 1.1.2, is now back on 1.1.2 with all the languages such as German, Italian, French, British English, Google DETAILED Street Maps of ENTIRE Europe, etc, etc... I just NEED to know how to UNLOCK the Sim, so my iPhone actually is a PHONE! :-) Now I feel like I have a Fancy Smancy Ipod Touch! WiFi?, Itunes Music Store, YouTube?, everything works... This site states that iDemocracy 2.1 will be released soon... I'm waiting patiently... Let me know if I can help out with solving / coding of the SIM Unlock folks... Thanks.

Comment by guacamolefresh, Nov 19, 2007

first id like to congratulate you on a wonderful utility. My question is this.. i have an otb 1.1.1 iphone that i upgraded to 1.1.2 then downgraded to 1.1.1 ran anysim1.1.2u ran oktoprep upgraded back to 1.1.2 and ran jailbreak1.1.2 and ssh'd lockdownd into the phone. can i use your tool to virginize this phone after i have unlocked it via this method?

Comment by andymidc...@btopenworld.com, Nov 19, 2007

Thanks- HenryW! I have been trying to find this info out! I want to get a new phone (1.1.2) and use it as a itouch until it comes to canada. Seems like you can do it! And i guess if you don't unlock it - then there is less probability of bricking it? I'm a noob! so go easy!

Comment by yuvalpinker, Nov 19, 2007

Is it possible that itunes IGNORES the 1.1.1 ersion i'm selecting by shift-clicking the "update" button, and actually updates me to 1.1.2 ??

Comment by davide.sozzi, Nov 19, 2007

thx a lot henry :D

Comment by George.Germanos, Nov 19, 2007

yuvalpinker - if you're on mac os x its option not shift.

anyone know of a way to get idemocracy working with a bad imei 1.02 03.14.08_g modem with no wifi (wifi is disabled on the phone).

Please help!

Comment by yuvalpinker, Nov 19, 2007

@George.Germanos - I'm on windows Vista

Comment by George.Germanos, Nov 19, 2007

@yuvalpinker: are you puttin the phone in DFU mode? if you do, it should ask which version of fw you'd like to load when you press the restore button while holding down shift...

Comment by Edmundo.Diaz, Nov 20, 2007

When would it be available an anySIM version for a 04.02.13_G Firmware? Thank you very much.

Comment by yuvalpinker, Nov 20, 2007

@George.Germanos - yes, i know . i've selected the appropriate 1.1.1 FW file, but after the restore is over, itunes says that my FW is up-to-date and m iphone is bricked which i think means that i'm in 1.1.2. the iphone is stuck in revoery mode (itunes symbol + cable) does anyone know out to get out from this situation (without downgrading to 1.0.2 ???

Thanks

Comment by fbarrio, Nov 20, 2007

Hi HenryW. I also have an OTB week45 iPhone. I downgraded to 1.1.1 and jailbroke. Didn't upgrade it later to 1.1.2 though. I'm also waiting for the SIM unlock. Hope these guys find out how to do it soon, since all I have now is the world's most expensive jailbroken 8GB iPod Touch.

If anyone has some news on this matter, please post them ASAP.

Thanks

Comment by il...@bagoren.com, Nov 20, 2007

I think this tools looks great, however, it seems like it is ideal for folks who are familiar with MAC and/or iPod from the past.

It will look like criticism below, please do not think I do not appreciate the amount of work and enthusiasm that has gone in. Just trying to be productive.

What is missing is a good flow information. There are many functional blocks on iD 2.0.x, but no instructions, like iD 1.1. In other words, let's say if I have a 1.0.2, already unlocked, what should I do? The LONG and Short method are there. But who should use them? Can I start with 1.0.2, or 1.1.1, etc. And when I start, should I just go in order?

In my case, when I clicked "check" in short method, it told me "it is not jailbroken yet, did you rum jail???.com yet?". Well I am confused. "jailbreak" was the next button. Do I go in order? The iD1.1 had line by line instructions for each step.

There are not many existing state and expected state combinations. Rather than answering many questions, it would be more effective to write such instructions.

Also, explanation of some terms might decrease amount of questions. What is unlocking, jailbreaking, activating, appTapping, virginizing, etc.

I know you are anxious to help people and answer questions flowing, What I am trying to say is, some organization work upfront may save a lot of questions, free up your time.

Best

Comment by Edmundo.Diaz, Nov 20, 2007

"Could not load the secpack data", thats the message I've got over and over again after using anySim. Downgraded from 1.1.2 to 1.1.1 before using AnySim?. After using anySim the information about my Baseband dissapeared from "About" in Settings. Could be a reason the fact that my non AT&T sim card uses a pin to activate it? Thank you very much for your help.

I have a pirated version of Windows, and I only have .NET Framework 2.0. Will installing the 3.0 version screw up my computer?

Comment by davide.brechot, Nov 22, 2007

Hi, i have an iphone 1.1.2 with the new bootloader 4.06, which i wanted to jailbreak, so i started following the "long method" of iDemocracy, i downgraded it followed the steps, I installed BSD subsystem and open SSH, but then when I clicked symlink, it kept saying invalid port, so i was stuck and i did something stupid i tried to restore it to 1.1.2 firmware hoping everything would be alright, as if nothing never happened, and now the iphone is stuck in DFU mode, i can't find a way to get it out of it, ive restored it to every firmware but there's an error each time and AppTapp? can't get it out of DFU mode, is there any way i could undo this and get my working unaltered iphone back? if there isn't a way, could i bring it to apple for repair or should i basically throw it in the trash?

I would greatly appreciate any comment or suggestions, thank you very much

Comment by davide.sozzi, Nov 22, 2007

iDemocracy NOW SUPPORTS FW 1.1.2. However, it cannot unlock OTB 1.1.2 iPhones running bootloader 4.06 (yet). There will be a release 2.1 shortly after the release on the 16th which will add this functionality as soon as possible.

davide.brechot, just dock your iPhone, close iTunes, start iNdependence and wait. It will kick it out of DFU in a few seconds. If it doesn't, undock your iPhone and dock it again. It's worked for me every time I changed my iPhone software. Still waiting for the sim unlock for my week 45 1.1.2 OTB.

My iphone is on it's way from the states. I hope the realese of iDemocracy 2.1 will come out before I got the iphone.

fbario, there was absolutely NO WAY of kicking out of DFU, and itunes would not restore it i tried every firmware, until finnally i tried to restore to 1.1.2 twice in a row and it failed the first time but the second time it worked, and after that i was able to kick it out of DFU.

thx alot though

I have a US iphone that has the 1.1.2 upgrade (lost my previous jailbreak) and I set up my iphone using a mac. Can I install iDemocracy 2.1 on a PC; jailbreak it and then return to my mac environment and use Itunes 7.5 normally? Is it either a PC or mac for the iphone or can I operate in both platforms? Thanks.

Hi,

So, the iDemocracy activates/jailbreak a 1.1.2 OTB? I've a plan with AT&T (a prepaid plan) so I've no problem in unlocking it.

Any sucess stories activating a 1.1.2 OTB? (it has the last booloader).

Thanks in advance!

Idemocracy was recommended by a friend. I have an 02 ifone and am eager to jailbreak it. Can I use 2.0.2 to do this?

Comment by krazknumba2, Nov 27, 2007

i am a current AT&T user with a perfectly working phone. My phone, i believe, is week 46 because those are the 4th and 5th digits of my serial and im obviously running 1.1.2. Now ALL i want to do is add themes and perhaps change a few icons like the battery charging one. Should i download this software or is it just going to mess up my phone?

thanx and any extensive answers please email me Krazknumba2@aol.com

Huving a problem. Got all the way to step 9 in the process, working fine after some trial and error, but I check installer, and it says that BSD & OpenSSH are already installed, so I installed Mobile Stack as per the instructions then attempted to uninstall DropbearSSH. When PuTTY attempts to link up to my iPhone it says "Network Error: Connection Refused". What did I do wrong? I tried reinstalling OpenSSH, but it gives me an error whenever I try to uninstall it. Is there a step that I'm missing here? Please let me know.

For those who are getting "access denied" when trying to upload new ringtones. The resolution is opening Open SSH in your iPhone apps and changing the password to 'alpine'.

i assume that the default password iDemocracy uses to SSH into the phone is alpine

I downloaded the Dotnetframework3 and the Idemocracy files but they do not work. What else do I need to get this going? Also I am using this for my ipod touch. will the downgrade work so I can use it on the Ipod? I had an ipod touch with 1.1.1 but I accidentally upgraded and need to downgrade any ideas?

Thankyou you can e-mail me at somdoggma@aim.com or back here
