I spent the last 3 days learning all I could about jailbreaking my pristine new 3G. I decided to use pwnage 2.1 to jailbreak my 3G running ver2.1 of Apples firmware. The jailbreak went great, just REMEMBER to OPTION CLICK on the RESTORE button in iTunes at the very end of the process. I can now run NetShare and use the phone as a wireless modem. Unreal...just think of all the possibilities! Anyway, I can now load ANY program I want on the phone AND I figured out how to do it right from iTunes!!! Now the part I need HELP with: I CAN NOT ssh into the freakin phone! I can do anything else, but no ssh for me

I know the network is working (a whole other learning process...ask me) because I can surf and download with no problem. When I use Terminal to ssh into the phone, this is what I get:

Last login: Fri Nov 21 17:44:01 on ttys000
mobile-166-217-042-032:~ macperry$ ssh root@192.168.10.1
root@192.168.10.1's password:
localhost:~ root#


I enter the correct password (alpine) and then I get the above. I have no earthly idea what the correct response is for that prompt

Can ANYONE PLEASE tell me what to do to ssh into my phone???

Thanks in advance...macperry

Okay something is obviously wrong here so let me try to help. I'm going to assume your using a mac.

1. Get CyberDuck use that to SSH into your iPhone a lot easier.
2. Make sure your ssh is enabled on your phone (toggle on and off)
3. Maybe you need to clear out you known_hosts. I had to do this once cause it was rejecting something.

Clearing known_hosts

Need to enable hidden folder with cocktail or onyx.
Go to your user account in finder.
Find the .ssh folder
open known_host with text editor. Delete everything in there then save.
Try SSH with cyberduck

if that doesn't work or if your on windows you will have do something else that I'm not familiar with. Best of luck I hope this helps.

hummm something does not sound ok.

First known_hosts is NOT the issue. Simply because you did not get
a different key error.

From here, what I can see is that you indeed entered into the iPhone's shell.

mobile-166-217-042-032:~ macperry$ ssh root@192.168.10.1

mobile-166-217-042-032 <- your mac hostname
macperry <- your user
ssh root@192.168.10.1 <- your command

And the result is:

localhost:~ root#

localhost <- hostname of the actual terminal
root <- current user


Looks stupid, but are you sure you are not inside your iphone's
shell?

Weird... after you get the localhost:~ root# try to issue:

ls /User/Media

if the output is ls: cannot access /User/Media: No such file or directory
you are not, if it lists, you are.
