  • ok i have a question if anyone can help.....When i open up the "mobile Terminal" i see my name. How do i change that to something else? Thanks

  • You cannot change the name in the Terminal App on the iPhone. However this is easily done in iTunes. Open iTunes. Left Click on your iPhone name in the Navigation Menu on the leftside under devices wait about a second then left click again and it should open up the Field for editing. Rename that field and your iPhones identity should now change.

  • Wat does the root do?..or y should i do all dat?

  • i have a problem when ever i connect from cyberduck it says connection failed premature connection close what do i do

  • Thanks. So when I restore it though it should restore all the changes i made like this right? Is there anything else like changing the root password i should do after jailbreaking

  • @BaBi3Hanh Type in "su root" and then "alpine". It will then prompt you to type in the new password. It will not show any characters so make sure you type it all in correct. If not it will say something along the lines of "password does not match"

  • @dcompart He is using VNC Viewer. It allows you to view your iPod/iPhone on your PC/Mac.

  • Very ease to do ,thanks

  • excellent thanks :)
