Since I have seen a lot of you asking questions about problems you are having with ROMs or jailbreaking I figured this would be a good way for any of you to directly ask me any questions about problems you may be having. It is hard to look over every post everyday and because of that I think a lot of questions are going unanswered.
If you have a question be sure to post a detailed description of the problem you are having in this comments section. Also give me the link of the post you are trying to follow so I can look it over as well.
I will do my best to get back to any question as fast as possible.
Let the questions begin!

I cant get this to work. It keeps timing out.
help?
lonman06 // January 30, 2008 at 8:21 pm
whoa that was fast Dave, I just finished posting this 2 min ago!
For the time being that source is down, hence the reason you keep getting a time out. The guys that run the server say it will be back up “soon”. That is all the information I can tell you about that. For now, you can use this source:
http://lonman06.com/2008/01/17/ipod-touch-another-source-to-add-the-big-boss-nes-roms-pack/
This will give you the same Big Boss Games Pack.

Hi,
i upgraded my ipod touch successfully. thanks for putting it up. now, here’s my problem/question.
i want to dload the ‘ipod touch software upgrade’ it was in teh ‘iJailbreakMobile’ folder. when i open the app, it asks for a password and it just sits there. is there a password that i should know about or am i doing somthin wrong??
thanks again.
lonman06 // January 30, 2008 at 10:26 pm
I haven’t heard or seen anything about a password omar. Did you do the jailbreak from 1.1.1 or 1.1.2?
lonman06 // January 30, 2008 at 10:31 pm
omar, if you are having problems with that add this source:
applerepo.com
be careful to keep the http://
this installs the 1.1.3 phone apps
omar // January 30, 2008 at 10:36 pm
update: an error came up after 300 sec. came up. the connection timed out.i started from 1.1.1,
jailbroke to 1.1.2, and used ur method to get to 1.1.3. i will try the source.
omar // January 30, 2008 at 11:33 pm
Works Great!!!!!
Thanks

hey // January 31, 2008 at 12:20 am
after 1.1.3 jailbreak why does my google mapscrash as soon as I open it? How can I fix it? Thanks!
George // January 31, 2008 at 3:21 am
In Australia there are no freely available wifi hot-spots and thus I cannot access any web-site with the inbuilt Safari. What are my options? Thanks
lonman06 // January 31, 2008 at 8:42 am
hey:
google maps requires a file called GMM.framework which is corrupted with the downloads from the installer sources. so heres a link to a good copy of the file:
http://www.savefile.com/files/1344817
unzip the file, then ssh into your ipod and place it in: / -> system -> library -> frameworks. just copy it in there and replace the bad one.
lonman06 // January 31, 2008 at 8:45 am
George, as of right now all the Jailbreaks for 1.1.3 require wifi access. As with 1.1.2 and 1.1.1 ways to jailbreak without wireless internet did come out, but I can’t say when that will happen.
Are there any friends that have wifi you could use, it only takes about 40 min to complete the automatic jailbreak process.
Tudor // January 31, 2008 at 10:52 am
I have just bought an ipodtouch and by mistake upgraded it to 1.1.3. How can i jailbreak it ? and i dont have so many icons on home page and they are not moving…moreover,what is that Installer program nd how can i find it?thanx
hey // January 31, 2008 at 6:11 pm
sorry for the late reply. Thanks!
lonman06 // January 31, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Tudor:
What are you using a mac or a pc?
Installer is the program that allows you to install 3rd party apps. You can only get installer on your iPod touch by jailbreaking it.
dani // January 31, 2008 at 8:58 pm
hi..already installed the gba rom but cant get it to work..is there a source to download the bios?
dani // January 31, 2008 at 9:00 pm
is the psx source out yet?
Cindy // January 31, 2008 at 9:23 pm
i added this source
iphonesurge.com/installer
and now everytime i try to delete it, it wont go away it just keeps ocming back, any suggestions?
lonman06 // January 31, 2008 at 9:39 pm
dani:
The gba source in this post:
http://lonman06.com/2008/01/30/ipod-touch-new-gba-roms-repo-source/
A bios file has been added.
The source is currently experiencing very heavy bandwith so may have to try several times before it works.
As for psx, it is still down, but keep checking the bottom of this post, I will update the status when it is back online:

cindy:
What is that source supposed to do?
dani // January 31, 2008 at 9:54 pm
is it this source? pinguino360.googlepages.com/pggbaroms.xml
lonman06 // January 31, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Yes that is it dani.
dani // January 31, 2008 at 10:07 pm
ok..will give it a try..
dani // January 31, 2008 at 10:12 pm
it says package download failed
lonman06 // January 31, 2008 at 10:14 pm
dani, it may be a little tough to get the download to work, you just gotta keep trying. It is because so many people are using it at the same time and the server can’t support all of these people.
dani // January 31, 2008 at 10:15 pm
wat can u do with ijailbreak?
lonman06 // January 31, 2008 at 10:22 pm
dani, ijailbreak lets you install a large variety of third party apps and also installs the iphone apps (mail, maps, notes, stocks, and weather). The 1.1.3 jailbreak will also give you the option of rearranging the icons in your dock and homescreen as well as the ability to add webclips to your homescreen,
dani // January 31, 2008 at 10:30 pm
sorry to trouble u but thanx for the info…
lonman06 // January 31, 2008 at 10:33 pm
No problem at all dani. If you decide to do it and have any trouble feel free to ask for help here.
dani // January 31, 2008 at 11:53 pm
hi lonman…how do u ssh something? how do u use it? dont really understand
dani // February 1, 2008 at 3:41 am
sorry for asking so many q’s…one more thing is that ive already downloaded the bios..how do i download the other gba games?
lonman06 // February 1, 2008 at 11:10 am
dani,
In order to SSH you need to have a program on your computer that will allow you to gain access yo your iPod. But before you can do that you must install openSSH in the installer.app. You should also install “services” which allows you to turn SSH on and off.
Here is a post that explains it:
http://lonman06.com/2008/01/12/ipod-touch-how-to-manually-add-nes-roms/
As for GBA ROMs, you can use the source that I provided. The main GBA source is still down or you can try to manually SSH them onto your iPod. You can find the ROMs by doing a search on google for “GBA ROMs”
Shawn // February 1, 2008 at 11:15 am
hi, I recently got an ipod touch and did the jailbreak on it from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 thanks to your guide. I am going to jailbreak to 1.1.3 very shortly, but I have noticed one thing that is bothering me.
The battery life on my ipod touch has been cut in half
Did I do something wrong or is there something I can do do fix this?
Thanks for all the great work you’re doing here lon
connor // February 1, 2008 at 9:29 pm
ijailbreak doesn’t work for me
dani // February 2, 2008 at 12:34 am
hi..after jailbreaking to 1.1.3, all my other apps which I downloaded dissapeared..need help
lonman06 // February 2, 2008 at 12:36 am
Connor:
What happened when you went through the ijailbreak process?
lonman06 // February 2, 2008 at 12:37 am
Shawn
Install services from installer.app and turn off the SSH if you haven’t done so already. SSH constantly being on drains your battery power since it’s always looking for a connection.
lonman06 // February 2, 2008 at 12:38 am
dani:
Do you have installer on your 1.1.3?
hey // February 2, 2008 at 1:03 am
hey lonman, i had already upgraded to 1.1.3 and everything was fine, but my friend accidentally pushed the ijailbreak icon on my touch and it began to do something and now my touch is just showing the apple logo but doesnt do anything else. I let the battery die to see if it would start properly again and nothing. Just the apple logo and never start the touch. what can i do? thanks for the help.
connor // February 2, 2008 at 9:50 am
it went threw the entire process and when i finished it restarted and all that so when i got to the homescreen i went to settings and it was still on 1.1.1
lonman06 // February 2, 2008 at 10:30 am
connor:
Do the entire process again. Many people have had to do it more than once for it to work.
lonman06 // February 2, 2008 at 10:31 am
hey:
Did you try holding down the home button and the power button until the ipod restarted?
nick // February 2, 2008 at 11:26 am
Hey, ive jail broke my ipod touch and wanted to install GBA and PSX roms onto my ipod. i added the source ‘pinguino360.googlepages.com/pggbaroms.xml’ and it worked. so i went into all packages and tried to install the gba bios but a messgage pops up saying, ‘Error package download failed!’ what cn i do, plz help
lonman06 // February 2, 2008 at 11:29 am
nick:
Right now the source is having a bit of a problem. Since so many people are trying to use it at the current time (over 30,000) the bandwith is being used up like crazy. Some people have gotten lucky and it worked, while others keep getting timed out. For right now you just have to keep trying. Hopefully the main NES, PSX and GBA ROMs source will be back up sometime this week. I am still continuing to work on a new source and will post it if I have any luck. Keep checking back for the status on the other sources as well as any new ones I may post.
connor // February 2, 2008 at 12:17 pm
i tried to do it again and i couldnt.. i cant uninstall it either bc it kept all my apps but nothin shows up in the uninstall tab help?
MIKE // February 2, 2008 at 12:45 pm
every time i try to put in the source for gba or psx the source ends up in the uncategorized list and i know i typed it right. I cant get the to games
Can anyone help?
connor // February 2, 2008 at 1:03 pm
mike the source is down LOL where have u been but it should be back soon
MIKE // February 2, 2008 at 1:17 pm
when will it be back up and if so can you tell me
connor // February 2, 2008 at 6:19 pm
it “supposed” to be up monday but something might happen but i dont think somethin will so just wait 2 more days
lonman06 // February 2, 2008 at 10:01 pm
connor it sounds like you are going to need to do a force restore and do the process over again. Do you have itunes 7.6 or 7.5?
lonman06 // February 2, 2008 at 10:03 pm
MIKE, connor is right, the source is down right now. It should be up very soon since the donation goals for a new server have been met. Just keep checking back.
connor // February 2, 2008 at 11:04 pm
Was my ipod supposed to be in the computer
Jordan // February 2, 2008 at 11:53 pm
Alright, here we go. When the 1.1.3 jailbreak was released, I jumped to get to it. Supposedly, the method I used was suppose to remove the BSD Subsystem and all my other apps. When I did the softupgrade, it took the apps off my spring board, but when I went to uninstall, they were all still listed. So I decided to uninstall, then reinstall all of them, well, my ipod went wild… stuck with the apps flying all over the place (hard to describe). So I decided to put it into recovery mode. Well so I tried the method with Ijailbreak Mobile and so forth. It went thru the whole install, and did not move after it was done. I left it for a while. So I just caved and just put 1.1.3 on. well, today I have been trying alot of different methods. I tried it again today, but now the Ijailbreaker says permission denied. So I thought instead of downgrading to 1.1.1 and trying to jailbreak to 1.1.3, I downgraded to 1.1.1 then 1.1.2 and then 1.1.3. But still not go. Let me know what you think.
lonman06 // February 3, 2008 at 2:40 am
connor:
Do you mean was your ipod supposed to be hooked up to the computer while going through the jailbreak process?
If that’s what you mean, then yes. It is supposed to work better if your ipod is hooked up to some type of external power source.
lonman06 // February 3, 2008 at 2:43 am
Jordan, you’re saying you downgraded from 1.1.3 to 1.1.1, then upgraded using oktoprep to 1.1.2?
I don’t understand exactly what you mean when you say you downgraded from 1.1.1, then to 1.1.2 and 1.1.3. Are you saying that the jailbreak didn’t work when you went from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 and then tried to jailbreak to 1.1.3?
Jordan // February 3, 2008 at 5:55 am
yes, I tired the downgrade to 1.1.1 then tried the jailbreak to 1.1.3 via ijailbreak moblie. The program would take about 10 minutes, then would finish, but wouldn’t reboot. So then I decided to try to downgrade to 1.1.1 oktoprep to 1.1.2, then jailbreak via ijailbreak moble, but I get stuck at 1.1.2, it says that my ipod is in recovery mode. Now When I just try 1.1.1 to 1.1.3 via ijailbreak moble, it gives me the permission denied on the program. I hope thats not to confusing.
MIKE // February 3, 2008 at 8:34 am
ok i got problem every
every time i try to add a new source, refresh the sources, or install something from installer its just says refreshing sources and dosent load anything or checking sources and it just dosnent load or loads a little bit. Then i have to shut off my ipod and it says loading time has timed out or something like that.
please help!!!!
connor // February 3, 2008 at 11:07 am
ohh well it wasnt, and i reinstalled the ijailbreak and tried to do it and all it did was finish the first thing when u start it when it loads the percentage thingy and then it just stopped oh and wats that smiley face thing at the bottom of the page?? lol
lonman06 // February 3, 2008 at 2:10 pm
connor, did any percent of it get done? And how long did it stop for?
If you’re getting syntax errors related to a smiley face, refresh your sources, then uninstall iJailBreak, reinstall, and start over.
lonman06 // February 3, 2008 at 2:11 pm
MIKE are you saying none of your sources refresh? If that is the case that sounds more like a wifi problem than a source problem. If you are doing this out of your house I would suggest resetting your wireless router.
lonman06 // February 3, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Jordan when you downgraded from 1.1.3 to 1.1.1 were you on itunes 7.6 or 7.5?
itunes 7.6 messes up upgrading from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2, that could be the problem you are getting when you try to jailbreak from 1.1.2 if you used itunes 7.6. I would go through the entire process and restore once again to 1.1.1 and jailbreak 1.1.1. Once you are there give the ijailbreak one more try and let me know what happens.
lonman06 // February 3, 2008 at 2:31 pm
For all who are having problems with ijailbreak, read the steps below and make sure you followed EVERYTHING.
1. It’s mission critical that we go to iPod touch’s Settings -> General-> Auto-Lock, and set it to Never. Do that.
2. Launch Installer and you’ll find a new version of Installer is available. Install the Update.
3. You will also update the “Community Sources” package.
4. Now you want to install the “BSD File System” package. You can find it under the “System” category. Reboot your iPod touch by holding down the Power button until the Red Slider appear after installing BSD. Don’t be alarmed that its icon is missing; it doesn’t have one.
5. Launch Installer and add http://ijailbreak.com/repo.plist as a new Source. Refresh your Sources after that.
6. Go to the “iJailBreakMobile” category and select the “iJailBreakMobile 1.1.1″ package to install. You will find a new app by the name iJailBreak after installation.
7. Tap on iJailBreak and let the long jailbreaking process begin! It took mine 35 minutes to complete the process. Once done, the device will try to reboot automatically. If you see that it’s stuck with just a spinning wheel on the screen, it’s safe to manually reboot the device.
8. Congrats, you have jailbroken your iPod touch 1.1.3, but we’re not done yet.
9. Launch Installer and install the “Remove 1.1.3 Jailbreak Data” package. It’s in the “iJailBreakMobile”. You can Uninstall it after it’s done.
10. Okay, we’re really done jailbreaking our iPod touch 1.1.3. You can install 3rd party apps now, and if you have purchase the “January Software Update”, install the updated Apps right away.
MIKE // February 3, 2008 at 3:45 pm
no its says when i try to install something host required i tried what you said to reset the router and it stills says host required even though i am connected to wifi
whats the problem
Jordan // February 3, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Arrrggg.. Its really starting to make me mad. Downgraded to 1.1.1 and decided to try to use the jailbreak mobile straight to 1.1.3. Its giving me a permission denied error.. any clues as to why?
Jordan // February 3, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Interesting.. Scratch that… I just unplugged my ipod from my computer before running the jailbreakmobile… Its downloading now.. I’ll let you know what the out come is since im not in the clear yet.
Jordan // February 4, 2008 at 12:34 am
Alright. Finally. I am thru. Jailbroken 1.1.3 finally, but now I have a new question for you. I got so frustrated with trying to jail break 1.1.3 that I decided to just buy the iphone apps, but now when I plug into to sync my ipod, its telling me that there is an unknown error and it cannot sync those apps to my ipod..
Jordan // February 4, 2008 at 1:36 am
lol, alright. Last post for tonight. I figured it all out. Took me long enough. Thanks for your help.

Go on safari and try to go to a webpage and let me know that happens.
nick // February 4, 2008 at 2:12 pm
hey, right, ive downloaded the GBA bios package and now the GBA roms folder has removed itself, how do i get it back? plz help
thanks // February 4, 2008 at 5:24 pm
I don’t think the repo for themes you provided is still working. Can you verify this please. Or am I doing something wrong? I used it before with 1.I.1 but cannot see the themes in 1.1.3. Thanks. Oh it is the touchrepo.com source.
lonman06 // February 4, 2008 at 5:35 pm
thanks,
A repo for 1.1.3 is in the process of being developed. Once it is completed I will post it at this site. The one you tried doesn’t work with 1.1.3…
Be patient, it should be ready soon.
thanks // February 4, 2008 at 6:09 pm
thanks for the reply.I will patiently wait for your post. Just thought that I was making a mistake. Thanks again!
lonman06 // February 4, 2008 at 6:15 pm
thanks, no problem. I was actually my mistake, I forgot to update that post and say it wasn’t for 1.1.3. Glad you reminded me though!
dani // February 4, 2008 at 8:59 pm
hi lonman, i installed jailbreak 1.1.3 but all my other apps were gone….i had installer n then it went into recovery mode…n have to start all over again
MIKE // February 4, 2008 at 10:06 pm
hey lonman
i got the source repo is: pinguino360.googlepages.com/pggbaroms.xml and i installed mariio karts and when i tried to play it, it came up with an errror saying you have an incorrect ios image and ipsp requires a gameboy advance something and then when i went back to install anthor game the folder was gone can you please help me with my problem
lonman06 // February 4, 2008 at 10:24 pm
MIKE,
If the folder is gone remove the source and then add and refresh it, you should see the folder come back.
As for your other problem, the reason you are getting the whole “ipsp” thing is because you need to install the gameboy bios. That should go away once you install the bios, which can be found in the same source you are using.
MIKE // February 4, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Ok but i would like to get it working and i saw that you needed GBA bios, what does that do and how do i get. If you can help me i would apreceate t
MIKE
lonman06 // February 4, 2008 at 10:34 pm
nick, look at the comment I just made above to MIKE, that should answer your question.
lonman06 // February 4, 2008 at 10:34 pm
MIKE, the gameboy bios will get the games working. You get it by installing it from that same source.
MIKE // February 4, 2008 at 10:58 pm
now i cant get the source is there any others??
dani // February 4, 2008 at 11:10 pm
hi lonman, do u have a source for the bosstool programme?
lonman06 // February 4, 2008 at 11:29 pm
dani, this is what you need to do:
Installer Crashes to Springboard : ( Symptom can also be Apps Not displaying on Springboard after install )
Add this source:
sleepers.net/iphonerepo Uninstall all 3rd party apps, then from Utilities add bossTools 034.
Use BossTools to move the Application folder to the media Partition. You know this has worked when
a. It takes about 30 seconds to perform the move
b. The Button that said “Move Applications” now says “Apps Already Moved
lonman06 // February 4, 2008 at 11:29 pm
MIKE, not right now there aren’t
Just gotta keep trying for now.
Barrick // February 4, 2008 at 11:36 pm
It’s a really great guide. But after I jailbroken my ipod touch, my ipod touch just can’t show tranditional Chinese. Is there any way to fix it? Thank you.
dani // February 4, 2008 at 11:40 pm
thanx lonman…is it safe to relocate the apps in bosstool?
dani // February 4, 2008 at 11:41 pm
thanx lonman…is it safe to relocate the apps in bosstool? version 035
thanks // February 4, 2008 at 11:47 pm
Just something I noticed while installing apps after 1.1.3 jailbreak: after each apps u install hit the home button and let the iPod refresh with the new apps. I noticed that when I installed new apps without refreshing, after about the 3rd one it would give me an error when I would download more. I would then restart the touch and it would download again. If I refreshed after each install this would not happen. Just an observation. By refresh I mean hit home after install, let the spinning wheel come in, then slide to unlock and get to the homescreen then install another apps.
dani // February 4, 2008 at 11:51 pm
is there a source to download iphone apps without jailbreaking to 1.1.3?

Hey, can you diagnose this?
Jordan // February 5, 2008 at 2:33 am

lonman06 // February 9, 2008 at 12:18 am
Dimitri, you need to restore. That will fix the problem.
connor // February 9, 2008 at 12:29 am
ok help dimitri but help meeeeee!! lol #@%^&*!!
lonman06 // February 9, 2008 at 12:43 am
Connor, what do you mean it isn’t working. Are you getting some type of an error?
Peyton // February 9, 2008 at 11:05 am
Lonman: How can you add photos to the existing I-Touch photo gallery like from another computer without wiping out the existing photo gallery when the Ipod syncs? It’s frustrating, all I want to do is ADD photos to the existing photo gallery.
thecss // February 9, 2008 at 7:47 pm
I keep getting a “permission denied” error after I launch the jailbreak icon. It runs a bunch of script lines that all end in permission denied and then it stops running. Someone earlier said they got that too but just disconnected it from their PC. That didn’t work for me. Can you tell me what I should do, anyone? Thanks.
lonman06 // February 9, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Peyton, just add the new pictures to the same picture folder that you had your other pictures in. Then once you resync your ipod touch it will add the new pictures.
lonman06 // February 9, 2008 at 7:58 pm
thecss, did you use ijailbreak as your jailbreaking option or some other way? And what version did you perform the jailbreak from 1.1.1 or 1.1.2?
thecss // February 9, 2008 at 8:29 pm
I performed the jailbreak from 1.1.1. I used jailbreak to do it. I followed a couple of youtube videos which pretty much follow the instructions you laid out earlier in this tread. I tapped the jailbreak icon on the home screen and then it’s supposed to do it’s thing for about 40 minutes but it stops with the permission denied error after a minute each time I try. Thanks.

When i try and download something from the “Installer” icon on my ipod it says “Cannot find Host” What should i do?
Romain // February 10, 2008 at 6:42 am
I installed the supposedly new gba source but nothing happend… I tried refreshing my sources but still nothing… What should I do?
Frank // February 10, 2008 at 8:49 am
Hey, when I download one file (the GBA Bios file) from the pinguino360 source, the rom category disappeared! so i can’t get any roms. I tried deleting the source and adding it again and refreshing and rebooting, but it won’t appear. What can I do?
lonman06 // February 10, 2008 at 11:31 am
thecss:
reboot, install BSD Subsystem again,
run ijailbreakmobile 1.1.1 again
click the ijailbreak icon
if it doesn’t reboot
restore to 1.1.1 firmware again
Let me know what happens once you do all of that.
lonman06 // February 10, 2008 at 11:32 am
Trent,
What are you trying to download? If your saying it cannot find host, it sounds more like a internet problem…
lonman06 // February 10, 2008 at 11:35 am
Romain, did you install the source from this post?
http://lonman06.com/2008/01/30/ipod-touch-new-gba-roms-repo-source/
Did you give this method a try?

lonman06 // February 10, 2008 at 11:37 am
Frank,
If the gba roms category disappears after you have downloaded a rom just go to the uninstall section of the installer and uninstall that rom,the rom won’t uninstall and the gba roms category will reappear.
thecss // February 10, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Hi, it works now. I think i missed the “community resources” step. Thanks alot man! Have a good one.
Caz // February 10, 2008 at 4:04 pm
hi, i’m having trouble getting mobile finder. the problem is…
…i don’t know how to do it.
everything i’ve read has been way to complicated, can you give me some help please?
Caz // February 10, 2008 at 4:20 pm
i tried to follow your instruction for getting ROMs on my touch but i always got stuck at the
“Download Mobile Finder” step
dani // February 10, 2008 at 8:52 pm
hi lonman, is there any source which i can download the gba bios from?
MIKE // February 10, 2008 at 10:58 pm
hi I got a question on the snes sources, are any of the sources up because I tried putting them in my sources and they went to uncatogorized section so back to my original qustion are the sources working or am I doing something wrong
if the sources are down can you please tell me when they will be back up
thanks,
MIKE
dani // February 11, 2008 at 1:58 am
hi lonman..any sources for psx?
Randy91 // February 11, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Hi lonman, when I try to play a GBA ROM it tells me: “Sorry, but iPSP requires a Gamebo Adva…You have an incorrect IOS image” The screen also goes black. Please help!!! I’ve tried downloading gba bios tons of times and no matter what, the same thing.
MIKE // February 11, 2008 at 4:00 pm
randy91, yo have to downlosd the gba bios in order to play the gba roms
hassan // February 11, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Randy91
you need to download a correct gba bios not all work so try and find a good one
lonman06 // February 11, 2008 at 5:26 pm
dani, the original psx source is still down and there aren’t any other good ones that have more than 1 or 2 decent ROMs yet. If I find one, don’t worry I will post it, if not we will have to wait until hackeralert gets their repo back up.
lonman06 // February 11, 2008 at 5:26 pm
caz,
its under productivity if you have community sources installed.
Just click on that tab and you will see it.
lonman06 // February 11, 2008 at 5:28 pm
MIKE,
check this one out, it is working:
http://frankssnesroms.x10hosting.com/REPO/snesroms.xml
P.S. thanks to you and hassan for helping out in here, it gets a little tough to keep up, especially with the increasing traffic here.
MIKE // February 11, 2008 at 6:20 pm
hey thanks and no problem, you have helped me so many times it is about time i payed yo back
Connor // February 11, 2008 at 7:00 pm
alright everythings kool it was sayin package download failed and ishare just didn’t work but its kool now
Peyton // February 11, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Lonman:
thanks for the reply, but the problem is that I have one Photo folder on one computer and another folder on my other computer. When I want to add photos from the other computer, the I-pod syncs and wipes out the previous photos and replaces them with the new ones. I just want to ADD PHOTOS to the existing gallery already on my I-pod. Surely there’s a way to do it without have to load the same photo files on both computers !!
Peyton
MIKE // February 11, 2008 at 9:33 pm

got a question on the snes rom ishare down load, i got all the links and stuff but my sendspace account says there is nothing there, am i oding somehting wrong or did i od my account wrong ?
thanks
MIKE
thomas // February 12, 2008 at 7:53 pm
your ipodrocks account isnt working on sendspace?
dani // February 12, 2008 at 8:45 pm
hi lonman thanx for the info…another q…if im going to jailbreak to 1.1.3 from1.1.2..are all my apps going to be deleted? coz i tried last n everything was gone…how do i safely jailbreak it?
lonman06 // February 12, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Peyton, what you saying is that you want to be able to sync your iPod Touch on two different computers, correct?
As of right now I don’t know of a way that you can do that. The only thing I can think of is to copy all the photos to one computer and save the new photos in a folder called “comp2″ or something like that. Once you sync it you can erase that folder, but make sure that you tell iTunes not to sync that folder every time by unchecking it.
Does that make sense?
lonman06 // February 12, 2008 at 10:23 pm
thomas, just keep checking it. There are some annoying people out there that keep changing passwords and deleting ROMs. But the password does get changed back and lots of people do upload ROMs back to it. You may want to check the other methods I have posted for now.
Do a search on this site for “gba roms” and you will see a few posts on it. Also the original gba rom repo should be back up “soon”.
Let me know if that works out for you.
lonman06 // February 12, 2008 at 10:24 pm
dani, the problem with jailbreaking from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 is that a lot of the apps needed to be upgraded to work on 1.1.3. So you will need to start over and install everything again if you want them all to work properly.
lonman06 // February 12, 2008 at 10:27 pm
MIKE, I’m not exactly sure what you are trying to say. When you log into the account using your iPod Touch, you don’t see anything there?
thanks // February 13, 2008 at 1:54 am
hey just wanted some info on d tmobile tzones app. Have no idea what it is. Can you get Internet from tmobile for 5.99? That would be great! Any info u can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
MIKE // February 13, 2008 at 7:50 am
no, you know the post that has the video on how to get snes roms fro sendspace/ishare? i know whow to get the text document of all the snes links for example
http://www.sendspace.com/file/xhns0i. i got those and then i needed to create an ishare account witch i did and i tried typing in the link where it says dowload here from my account and i clicked download and when it loaded nothing was there
so my question is did i create my ishare account wrong or do i have to use a special account?
hope that make things a bit clearer
MIKE
dani // February 13, 2008 at 9:39 am
hi lonman…any good repos or sources for gba roms?
helpful // February 13, 2008 at 10:21 am
hey mike, you dont download from your new account. you download from the account provided. yours must be blank unless you uploaded anything. log in with the other account. if i remember correctly it is the ipodrocks account with the 123456 pass.

i cant figure out the ishare program. when i try to do an snes from i share the progress always fails. is the i problem with my iphone? if you have any idea how to fix it please inform me. i do have a snes folder and everything needed
dani // February 14, 2008 at 11:14 pm
hi lonman, do u need to be on 1.1.3 to download from the irepo source for all those games?
Peyton // February 15, 2008 at 6:57 am
Got it, I was afraid you’d say that. I’ll take a flash drive and load the photos from one to the other.
That’s stupid, you should be able to load additional photos into the gallery on the I- touch like you can drag and drop music.
Thanks
Peyton

my GBA emulator is messed up,
When i try to play a game, it says:
Wrong IOS image.
Rob // February 15, 2008 at 7:20 pm
how can i fix it?
Rob // February 15, 2008 at 8:00 pm
i downloaded the software from iJailbreak and my iTouch won’t restart, it got stuck at the apple sign while it was rebooting and i cannot get it back up…
Some help please?
Jake // February 15, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Rob, did you download GBA bios because you need that to run the games
Jake // February 15, 2008 at 8:47 pm
lonman is not responding anymore I thin
lonman06 // February 16, 2008 at 1:03 am
MIKE, you don’t need a special account, it should work with any account you create.
Did you confirm your account?
lonman06 // February 16, 2008 at 1:05 am
dani, the irom source was working very well until today. They say it will be up at least until the send of the month, so I would keep trying that one for now. It has the largest selection of gba roms I have seen.
lonman06 // February 16, 2008 at 1:06 am
frank, does it do this on all games or only certain ones? Some games do tend to slow down a bit. One thing that I found out that works is to make sure you quit all other apps before running the emulator. You can do this by opening up the app and then holding down the home button until it force quits it.
lonman06 // February 16, 2008 at 1:08 am
hman, unfortunately it is hard to say what times the repos will be up. A lot of them tend to have up and down times. Sometimes you just have to be persistent and eventually it will work out.
lonman06 // February 16, 2008 at 1:10 am
I’m still here Jake, just been very busy. What firmware version are you running?
If it is 1.1.3, take a look at this video:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=tH3Y0Kl0jfE
lonman06 // February 16, 2008 at 1:11 am
Dennis, sound isn’t supported with this first public release for the snes emulator. Don’t worry, it will be added in the future.
lonman06 // February 16, 2008 at 1:12 am
dani, the irep source will work with any jailbroken ipod touch on any firmware version.
lonman06 // February 16, 2008 at 1:14 am
gil, give it another try. You may want to try upgrading to 1.1.2 also. Some people have had better luck starting from 1.1.2. Give that a try and let me know what happens.
lonman06 // February 16, 2008 at 1:17 am
Rob, to answer your first question, you need the gba bios. Do a search on my site for gba bios and you will see a source that will give it to you.
As for your second question, have you tried holding down the home button and the sleep button and forcing a restart?
zai // February 16, 2008 at 1:51 am
ey lonman, love ur page, its really helpful especially for guys new to jailbreaking, adding sources & stuff. i just tried ur ijailbreak method for a while & i think its working though in our school the internet speed is really slow. eta 6hrs, lol.
so i tried the ziphone method as an alternative, it messed up my ipod man, i already had tons of apps & all on 1.1.1, now its all gone when i udapted to 1.1.3 & tried ziphone… i just hate the whole downgrading & updating all the time.
i learned my lesson that i should’ve just sticked to ur method.. it just sucks coz its like 6-7kb/s so meaning its 6hrs + for it to finish
i’m beginning to think i’m just better off with 1.1.1 …but then again do u know any advantages why i should upgrade to 1.1.3?
MIKE // February 16, 2008 at 6:49 am
yes i did
josh // February 16, 2008 at 11:40 am
i upgraded to 1.1.3 using the jailbreak thing u have and it didnt work, so i downgraded to 1.1.1 and then jailbroke that and upgraded to 1.1.2. that worked fine but when i tried to jailbreak 1.1.2 it says i never installed oktoprep but i did. Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nisan // February 17, 2008 at 11:47 am
when i install anything in my installer, it says it cannot find a host and wont download but then my safari and youtube all work and my wireless seems to be fine please help
lonman06 // February 17, 2008 at 11:58 am
nisan, installer has been very slow lately and a lot of people are reporting that it is hanging up on them. Hopefully a patch will come out to fix this as it seems to have really happened since 1.13 was released.
There is a way to manually fix this, if you are up to that.
If Installer doesn’t work after upgrading, type these two commands into your favorite SSH client, or Termi
