Hi Folks,


ATTENTION: READ EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. This script will activate your phone and make youtube work.
TESTED with Windows XP and iPhone 1.0.2 Firmware. Other configurations might also work, post your experience here.
MAC USERS: You might wanna check this thread first: http://hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5582

I've noticed that some folks in here are having a lot of trouble getting youtube to work, even though deleonju provided youtube certificate files that work great with Darkmen's Patching Activation method with no hassles. So, I decided to step in and give some help. What I did was to wrap up youtube's files and patching activation in a single "point and click" script, so you don't have to think too much to make things work. I haven't included the jailbreak part because the files are just too big and that would probably constitute copyright infringement.

ATTENTION: THIS METHOD ALONE WILL NOT UNLOCK YOUR iPhone!!!

HOW TO ACTIVATE YOUR iPhone FOR ANY SIM CARD AND ENABLE YOUTUBE

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Jailbreak your iPhone (Easy instructions in: http://ibrickr.com/ - Detailed intructions in: www.hacktheiphone.com)
2) Download and unpack this file:

(UPDATED in September 12th 2007: no need to restore your phone anymore!)


3) Run the "activation.bat" batch script that is included.


UNISTALL:
Doubleclick "reverse.bat" (This will reverse what PACAY has done. It will restore your original files and leave in iPhone totally deactivated)


REMEMBER to kill iTunes before doing anything. Any doubts, check README.txt


You'll be given instructions along the way, but mostly you'll just have to watch. At the end, you'll hopefully have an activated iPhone with YoutTube working. The good part is that this method is SIM card independent. So you can put any ATT SIM in the phone (or any SIM for the folks that have done GeoHot's unlock!). This means that you can change SIM cards without having to re-activate the phone. Another advantage is that you won't have to install an SSH sever (dropbear), which some folks here are not willing to do. This is the first version of the script, pre-alpha if you wish. I'd appreciate any comments so the script gets really fool proof. I have tested this script with my own phone several times, so It should work fine. If you have any problems, post here. I did it under Windows XP simply because I don't have a MAC. Also, I think MAC people already have pretty nice tools. Anyway, if you wanna replicate this idea your own way, just do a patching activation, then copy deleonju's youtube files to /private/var/root/Library/Lockdown/ inside your phone.


Enjoy YouTube!

I'd suggest you check out some videos of Fortaleza, Brazil. Beautiful city!

Why did you delete the file? It says deleted by uploader.

Does this method activate so I can use AT&T prepaid card for calling as well.....since you mentioned "any ATT sim"?????

Thanks for your great work!

My bad!

Uploading again.

Updated

Yes, what happen to the files ? Please share .
Thanks

Probably yes. There are some old ATT sim cards that don't work though. Give it a try..

You used Windows XP; will it also work with Vista?

can this method be done using ibrickr??

Has anyone had any success with the script?

I don't particularly know ibrickr, but I don't see any problems. You could check that out and report back here.
