Hello,

I have an old iPhone 2G with a busted WiFi cheap and no 3G connection.
I've recently installed a Jailbreak 3.1.3 firmware on it, so it has Cydia installed, but the WiFi is dead so I'm unable to install OpenSSH or Mobile Terminal.

I can copy files to and from the iPhone using DiscAid, but I was unable to find any way to execute shell commands with a direct cable connection.

Does anyone know of a way, no matter how complex, to install deb files within my limitations?


Thank you.

provided you have full access to the root file system, you can use utility such as ifunbox (windows), Iphoneview (mac), diskaid (I never use it); you can connect to the device and navigate to:

/var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall/

If the Cydia/AutoInstall is not there, create it (case sensitive).
Put the debian file in there, restart the phone and it will autoinstall
