Mobile terminal help

[johnl316]

Has anyone tried using mobile terminal?

When I use it the program charges every time?

Sorry for the typo.

It crashes every time

 

[graywolf]

Yes, as it is only made for the iPhone on 3.3.0.

I can clear this up as I went through this last night Here is the fix. The link is an article written for the iPhone on 4.3.1, but it worked like a charm for the iPad 2 running 4.3.3.

Hi,
I noticed the app exiting behavior. You can use issh and login to the IPv4 loopback
Address as root as an alternative to get a local shell,

PS - you also have to load the openssh package from Cydia after JB and before doing the above.
127.0.0.1 is the IPv4 local loopback address.

Here is terminal for iPad;

I used it to change my root password yesterday.
Contrary to what it says, it is stable.

Or you could always use SSH to connect and do the geeky stuff.

Thanks graywolf your Link to the repository worked.

Bunny-if you tap on the link and then scroll down you will see the URL for the repository that you need to add to the sources tab in cydia.

After cydia adds the source scroll down and choose mobile terminal. It is then the same as installing any other app in cydia

Or I use safari download manager and install it with ifile.
