i only know what ive learned on that tutorial. you can try that, but if you just do what the tutorial says, i promise its very simple. just install the service, enter a few commands to set it up, then enter the commands i posted.

-download from here: http://cygwin.com/
-When it asks you what things you want to install choose "ssh" from the "net" group. let it install.
-open cygwin and enter "ssh-host-config"
-when it asks about "privilege separation" answer yes
-when it asks about "create local user sshd" answer yes
-when it asks install sshd as a service answer yes
-when it asks for some text type "ntsec tty"
-wait for it to set it up then type "net start sshd"

then use the commands in my original post. and youre done.

I opened cygwin, entered ssh-host-config, and it says:
bash: ssh-host-config: command not found

:'( i m badly stuck..

This is the very first command I need to enter after opening cygwin right? Besides, I dont even know if SSH was installed on my iphone Please help this is urgent...

hi. ok i'm panicing: my perfectly working jailbroken iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.1 has updated AppSync 4 on cydia and after I hit REBOOT DEVICE the bloody thing is stuck on the Apple logo and won't start. iTunes 10 won't recognize it (although Windows does, and so do iREB and TinyUmbrella!)
* it's actually stuck on the apple logo but with that little "respringing" circle you know? but it doesn't move a bit, just a frozen image.

Now - Is there any possible you you can come up with for me to bring it bacl to life WITHOUT having to lose all the data on it? I have loads of cydia tweaks and apps, plus loads of wallpapers that I'd hate to lose, plus risking losing all my contacts and that..
PLEASE lads this is so important to me this bloody iPhone is my life!

* update: Something strange: after staying in that 'Apple logo+circle' for like 8 minutes it suddenly switched to normal apple logo (and stuck again, but at list that indicates something is moving inside doesn't it?)

Of course none of this would have happened if the three of you would pay for your apps instead of trying to steal them.

ok guys i got it working.
this is how, if u tried the commands and it did not work, then goto http://cydia.hackulo.us/ and download installous (4.2-1) and appsync40 (1.0.2).
after that download ifunbox http://www.i-funbox.com/.
open ifunbox and drag installous (4.2-1) and appsync40 (1.0.2) to the cydia app install folder, then restart ur phone.
hope that helps

Got my iphone working after doing these steps, probably i already had ssh installed in my iphone, thus with just using i-funbox to drag and drop the installous 4.2-1 and appsync40(1.0.2) into the cydia app install folder and restart. Everything came back working.


My iphone ios(4.0.1) jailbroken got stuck in the loading screen after i remove appsync in cydia as i'm trying to get a different version of appsync from a different source. When removing appsync from cydia, I notice there is an indication of installous 4 to be remove as well. After the removing appsync, (probably installous 4 also) my iphone got stuck in the loading screen of apple logo.

I have this EXACT issue above, but don't have ssh on my iphone, I don't think, and it's stuck. Can I still fix it if I don't have ssh on my phone in the bricked state that it's in???? Please help. A restore isn't an option and I need to get this fixed asap. I took the whole day off to work on it.

Some back info:

I have an Iphone 4, on 4.3.2 firmware with Redsnow 0.9.6rc16 jailbreak. Had this for 4 months and everything has been fine. I did some updates in cydia, like 4, and it asked me to reboot. Ever since then, it's stuck on the apple logo. I followed the steps here

to "Boot Tethered" from the same redsnow I used 4 months ago, 0.9.6rc16, and it goes through the processes and at the end the sceen on the phone goes white, and then you get a pineapple logo that hangs just as long as the apple logo did before. After I do a hard reset the pineapple logo, doesn' come back, but the apple logo does again, again, and again, after multiple hard resets and hangs.

Would a newer redsnow version work better? Not sure if I should use a newer one than the original 0.9.6rc16 that is one the phone when trying that tethered boot?

I don't want to restore because I haven't backed up in 5 months.
