September 1st, 2007 by Limited Edition iPhone · 397 Comments

Youtube iPhone

1.1.4 YOUTUBE FIX:

1. Open installer and install BSD SubSystem, and OpenSSH NOTHING ELSE.

2. Restart the phone and connect to the phone via winscp or whatever program you like that lets you browse the file system.

3. navigate to /var/root/library/lockdown and copy the following files to your computer(for backup purposes)
data_art.plist
device_private_key.pem
device_public_key.pem

4. replace the old files with the 3 files you can download from this link: http://rapidshare.com/files/96711141/youtube.zip.html

5: restart iphone.

6: after restart, go to the activation_records folder copy everything in there to your computer. then delete everything in the folder from your phone.

7: restart the phone again

8: connect to itunes and your phone should be re-activated automatically with youtube working!

NOTE:dont delete anything from the activation_records folder untill AFTER you restart the phone in step 5.

if you find you arent getting service, simply put the original files you copied back + restart your phone and try again.

 

UPDATED: Easy youtube fix Should Work on all versions including 1.1.2:

1. Open installer, and install the update if prompted.2. Go to sources and tap Edit and Add3. Add this URL: http://limitededitioniphone.com/lei.xml4. Tap Done and then Refresh5. Go to Install (at bottom) and scroll down to the YouTube category and click the youtube fix

YouTube Fix For Firmware 1.0.2

Click Here for firmware 1.1.1

When I bypassed activation using Dvd Jon’s method, I was left without Youtube like a lot of other people. I will be unlocking my iPhone as soon as the unlocking software is released and want to have everything working. I decided to find the answer to the problem. Below are the steps that I took to reactivate my iPhone with Youtube.

0) Start your Windows Machine (MAC People Scroll Down).1) Update to the latest firmware by restoring in itunes.2)Download and install ibrickr and restore the phone to an unactivated state.3) Kill iTunes related processes.4) Jailbreak your iPhone following ibrickr’s instructions.5) Download and unpack this file:http://rapidshare.com/files/55289251/PACAY__by_brasuco_.rar.html or http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O8W10E2C6) Extract the files to a folder and run “(CLICK HERE)activate.bat” and wait. You will have a fully activated iPhone with Youtube. Credit goes to brasuco, Darkmen, and Deleonju

OSX Intel USERS.

First:

Take your iPhone out of the box (or after doing a complete restore)Download this (from Rapidshare) http://rapidshare.com/files/54783302…cript.zip.html and decompress to your home directory.Download AppTap installer form nullriver (if you haven’t already)Step 1: Double click on the AppTapp Installer to install the Installer.appStep 2: open the folder ~/youtubescript and double click on Install youtube.termRestart your iphone. What it does:1) it puts a patched lockdownd file in the /usr/libexec folder of you iphone making it factory activated.2) puts the three files where they go. (/var/root/Library/Lockdown/)No need to use iasign or independence to activate your simcard. Just put any simcard from att/cingular and it will work.Update: If you have previously activated using iasign or iactivator or independence, then you need to delete all the files in the folder: /var/root/Library/Lockdown/activation_records before restarting the phone.Update2: If you already installed SSH then it’s easy to just scp the files over.scp the following files with the following commandsscp -rp data_ark.plist root@10.0.1.195:/var/root/Library/Lockdown/scp -rp device_private_key.pem root@10.0.1.195:/var/root/Library/Lockdown/scp -rp device_public_key.pem root@10.0.1.195:/var/root/Library/Lockdown/scp -rp lockdownd root@10.0.1.195:/usr/libexec/then restart your phoneremember to delete the files in the /var/root/Library/Lockdown/activation_records folder before restarting if you had previously activated with independence, iaasign, etc..UPDATEdownload these 3 files: http://rapidshare.com/files/55194961/youtube_fix.zip.html or http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QOK95RO2 and replace them in: /private/var/root/library/lockdown/*.*

=== YouTube Fix For Firmware 1.1.1 ===

Just make sure that you have “Community Sources” installed in installer.app.1. On the “sources” tab click “Edit” then “Add” http://limitededitioniphone.com/lei.xml click “Done” then “Refresh”2. On the “Install” tab find the YouTube category. Install the package.

3. Reboot! You should be all set

OR TRY THE MANUAL METHODS BELOW

To get youtube working on 1.1.1 you have to put these 3 files: (link below)data_ark.plistdevice_private_key.pemdevice_publ ic_key.pem

in /private/var/root/Library/Lockdown

Next you need to copy the -DeviceCertificate key from the data_ark.plist provided in the zip file over to the plist /private/var/root/Library/Lockdown/activation_recordsfind below entry in the data_ark.plist<key>-DeviceCertificate</key>copy what is between<data></data>open .plist found in activation_records find <key>DeviceCertificate</key>paste between<data></data> If you do not have an activation_records folder:1). Create an empty activation_records folder2). copy the three files described3). remove all the files in the pair_records folder4). reboot Just a quick note you can use this method both in mac and windows.Use winscp in windows to transfer the files open .plist in notepad, make the changes and save with .plist extension.http://www.filefactory.com/file/9e0917 -Thanks Js29Easy Method:1. Download these 3 files2. Upload them to /private/var/root/Library/Lockdownd (overwrite the originals)If your carrier only provides GPRS connection, and you have updated to 1.1.2, I believe that you have seen that youtube.app works only with EDGE or WiFi. Today I copied the 1.1.1 youtube.app to my phone and guess what…It WORKS with GPRS! http://www.medi@fire.com/?dcjj1gipygj Copy to iPhone and set permissions to 0755..Replace @ with a. –Thanks Tonydeli7

    I followed the instructions exactly. My YouTube still does not work. I don’t know why the above method didn’t work for my iPhone. And I really want the YouTube feature. I don’t know what to do now.

  • 4 jamesNo Gravatar // Sep 13, 2007 at 9:15 pm

    yeah i tried this too and another youtube fix app bat but neither helped
    i used the iunlock method and everything is flawless execpt my youtube

    i NEED it to work

    please explain , i didnt do step 2 windows guide

    i am kind of scared to unactivate my iphone ? wont that ruin my iunlock ?

    also how do i unactivate??

  • 5 Limited Edition iPhoneNo Gravatar // Sep 14, 2007 at 7:32 am

    Ok so the updated files that I included do not work for everyone. For windows download http://rapidshare.com/files/55289251/PACAY__by_brasuco_.rar.html and run the install. That should fix most of the windows users. If that does not work for you, go to iiTunes and hit the restore button. You will need to reactivate your phone, but it will stay unlocked. You will then need to use ibrickr to unjail your phone. (note your phone will still be at the please activate screen.) Once you have completed the unjailing process run the .bat file you downloaded. Everything will be working perfect.

  • 6 jamesNo Gravatar // Sep 14, 2007 at 11:29 am

    ok so will i lose my contacts and emails and mp3 and videos? or can i sync this to save to for later?

    i figured a restore would lock the phone again

    i will try this later today

    my problem was i couldnt get ibrickr to unjail my phone so i had to use winstaller.zip it jailbroke my phoen very easily

    can i use this again or must it be ibrickr?

    thanks again!

  • 7 Limited Edition iPhoneNo Gravatar // Sep 14, 2007 at 1:06 pm

    You will not lose anything when you restore except for any mods you did. iTunes will make a copy of your contacts videos pictures and music. You should not have to restore with the new file: http://rapidshare.com/files/55289251/PACAY__by_brasuco_.rar.html

    but if you do need to restore, everything will be saved as long as you sync before you do.

  • 9 AlexisNo Gravatar // Sep 15, 2007 at 8:27 pm

    Awesome! Worked in 1 hit for windows xp. The warning “May damage your phone” scared me at first, but worked like a charm!

    I solute all the computer wizards that made this possible. Lets hope Apple doesnt lock these again with an update.

  • 10 Brent C.No Gravatar // Sep 15, 2007 at 8:36 pm

    Does anyone know if there is a cost for YouTube? I am sure there is, but if so can you tell me how much, if any? Thanks. And also, I used the UPDATE files and added them by using iBrickr, good method if you already have a working phone.

    I install unfortunately the script on a unlocked iphone.
    Now my Iphone is not reconized by Itune anymore,
    this means that I can not acces to restore feature.
    The iphone just it stuck between a full sim unlock and the activation, not able to load anything or to just do a full restore.
    Does anyone knows how to force to restore like for instance with the use of the terminal?
    Thanks a lot

    This one is really weird. I run the procedure in one iphone and worked perfect. Now I’m trying in a different Iphone and it does not work (the youtube stuff), and already did the “restore” thing.

    Any ideas!?

  • 21 Limited Edition iPhoneNo Gravatar // Sep 16, 2007 at 9:52 pm

    can you give more details like mac/pc what steps you have done.

  • 22 JVNo Gravatar // Sep 16, 2007 at 10:27 pm

    Never mind !!!

    I got it working now
    I forgot to “kill” the itunes before doing this.

    There is a line that says

    “REMEMBER to kill iTunes before doing anything. Any doubts, check README.txt”

    …and that one did the trick

PLEASE HELP !!!

  • 57 Limited Edition iPhoneNo Gravatar // Sep 25, 2007 at 6:39 pm

    For Mac OS X

    Method #1 Delete the following files:

    * /System/Library/AppleMobileDevice.kext
    * /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DeviceLink.framework
    * /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
    * /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
    * /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
    * /Library/Receipts/AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg

    then restart your Mac. Next, download iTunes and re-install it.

    Method #2 Create a new user account: open the “Accounts” pane of System Preferences, click the padlock and enter your administrator password, then press the “+” (plus) button to create the new user. Login as the new user, then connect your iPhone to your Mac and re-attempt the restore with iTunes.

    For Windows (various editions)

    1. Select Control Panel from the Start menu
    2. Select Add/Remove Programs
    3. Remove Apple Mobile Device Support
    4. Remove iTunes
    5. Restart your system
    6. Download and install iTunes again

  • 58 RoyceNo Gravatar // Sep 25, 2007 at 7:11 pm

    I Deleted the itunes and reinstalled itunes and did the restoring process. I get this error message “The phone iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occured (6).” I really am lost and i can’t use my iphone at all now. All it says is “Please Connect to iTunes”.

  • 59 Limited Edition iPhoneNo Gravatar // Sep 25, 2007 at 7:15 pm

  • 62 Limited Edition iPhoneNo Gravatar // Sep 26, 2007 at 12:46 pm

    try plugging it into the mac that you restored with and see if it is recognized in iTunes.

  • 63 JonathanNo Gravatar // Sep 26, 2007 at 5:11 pm

    Hey i saw the update on this page that i have to put hte 3 files in the folder.

    is that all i have to do be able to use YouTube?

    I already have the SSH daemon installed and i can just drop the files into that folder and then restart the phone.

    Once i’ve done this, does that mean i can skipp all that restore and rejailbreak steps?
    one more thing, what is the permissions that the files must have? 777?

  • 64 Limited Edition iPhoneNo Gravatar // Sep 26, 2007 at 6:06 pm

    Today I have unlocked 2 friends’ phones and it looks like none of them can connect to YouTube.
    Is removing and installing again iTunes and Apple mobile device going to fix the problem?

  • 67 Limited Edition iPhoneNo Gravatar // Sep 27, 2007 at 9:14 pm

    do a restore and then follow the instructions again. If you already did a restore through itunes, do a virgin restore

  • 68 visionfreshNo Gravatar // Sep 28, 2007 at 6:57 pm

    Hi. Your site is awesome! Pretty appreciate the work behind it ;)

    If I do a restore, I don’t have to update to 1.1.1., right? Can you confirm this? I won’t start it…

    What about the Notes and SMS messages?
    Should I backup those .db files and than SSH them over again? Or do they remain untouched?

  • 69 Limited Edition iPhoneNo Gravatar // Sep 28, 2007 at 9:18 pm

    no need to do a restore. Just follow the update and ssh the files to your phone. If that doesn’t work do steps 5 and 6. That should fix it. If that still doesnt for some reason hold shift when you restore to select 1.02 firmware

  • 86 JakeNo Gravatar // Oct 5, 2007 at 11:58 am

    I’m having a problem with the Youtube fix and Itunes. I can activate the phone without problem, but after I load the 3 Youtube files to /var/root/Library/Lockdown/, iTunes will no longer sync with the iphone. It starts to sync but will crash (automatically close) within 30 seconds. Itunes will work fine without the iphone connected. I had to restore my original 3 youtube files to sync again, but now no Youtube? Help Please!

  • 93 EddieNo Gravatar // Oct 7, 2007 at 3:21 pm

    Hi,
    I’ve noticed that many of iphones missing folder:
    /var/root/Library/Lockdown/activation_records
    This might be one of the reasons why YouTube doesn’t work.

    So, just create this folder - worked for me.

  • 94 RadikaLNo Gravatar // Oct 7, 2007 at 9:02 pm

    Hi, i have a unlocked iphone and i youtube unlock it myself with your activate.bat process PACAY. It worked for 1 week, i did anything sudently i try to go again i cant, ”cant connect to youtube”, i try to play a video in my history it tell me ”error playing video”, also my mail, tell me connection to ”mail” failed. Maybe its because of the sync by itunes ??? help me please

  • 95 EvildarkNo Gravatar // Oct 8, 2007 at 5:46 am

    Thanks for the instruction.
    Finally, I got my iphone completely unlocked with all features available by now. I appreciate this sharing along with all Q&A.

    My advice for you is: If you have already setup the PACAY but Youtube still not working.
    1- Reset all settings (inlucding data & music)
    2- Connect to iTunes (im using 7.4.1.2). It will ask if you want to Restore to your old settings
    3- Accept it

    Note: Do not use the button Restore & Update that the iTunes offers you because it will apply the new firmware 1.1.1 to ur iPhone. If you do it rite, after you reset all ur settings and connect to iTunes, it will automatically ask if you wanna Restore to ur previous/old settings. Just accept it, and then reinstall the PACAY. Gluck

    will this work on an unlocked iphone ver 1.02??

    before doing these steps, do i need to do anything to the phone? how do i kill itunes? and what does the jailbreak do?

  • 97 Limited Edition iPhoneNo Gravatar // Oct 9, 2007 at 7:30 am

    yes this works on 1.02 to kill iTunes, hit control alt delete and end all iTunes related processes

  • 98 Limited Edition iPhoneNo Gravatar // Oct 9, 2007 at 7:31 am

    in order to unlock your phone or bypass activation you would of had to jailbreak

  • 99 shawnNo Gravatar // Oct 9, 2007 at 8:45 am

    THANKS a lot dude! i really appreciate it!

    so basically a jailbreak is an unclocked iphone? rite? :)

  • 100 Limited Edition iPhoneNo Gravatar // Oct 9, 2007 at 10:07 am

    jailbreaking is used to access the iphone to install 3rd party apps and to unlock the phone

  • 101 Steve KeysNo Gravatar // Oct 9, 2007 at 7:13 pm

    Limited, do you replace the files in:

    /var/root/Library/Lockdown

    or

    /private/var/root/Library/Lockdown ?

    Because both paths have the same files in them.

  • 102 EvildarkNo Gravatar // Oct 9, 2007 at 8:56 pm

    Shawn,

    I got my phone unlocked by my friends. When its in my hand, it was already unlocked. However, i couldnt use youtube and couldnt be able to retrieve mails from yahoo account.

    My iPhone was still 1.0.2, and before doing the install i did kill all the related iphone applications by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del (Window).

    Make sure iTune is not connected. Run the file “activate.bat”, follow instructions, then restart.

    1 shot youtube, and somehow im able to retrieve mails from yahoo now — happy face :)

  • 103 Limited Edition iPhoneNo Gravatar // Oct 9, 2007 at 10:34 pm

    They should be the same just replace both :)

  • 104 chrisNo Gravatar // Oct 9, 2007 at 11:33 pm

    @Limit

    Is there any possible way to make calls from skype - skype on iPhone? The idea comes from making calls without any carrier :D

    I tried to use http://www.s4iphone.com (which is exactly a small skype application running on iPhone); however, it requires “Skypeout” in order to make outgoing calls. Everytime i called my pc thru it, its ringing but disconnected 1 second rite after that. However, it also means this is possible because the signals get thru (because its ringing). We just need to somehow pass that Skypeout wall.

    Any solution :D ?

  • 110 Limited Edition iPhoneNo Gravatar // Oct 10, 2007 at 3:02 pm

    I am not sure how the skype programs work. I have heard of them but never checked to see how they work on the iPhone. Open up a discussion in our New Forum: http://limitededitioniphone.com/forum

  • 111 JazzNo Gravatar // Oct 10, 2007 at 9:45 pm

    @ Limited Edition Iphone:

    I am using a PC. so I am not sure which files to download, and once downloaded, where would I install the files on the iphone? Please help me!!! I really want this application to work on the iPhone! Remember my iPhone is unlocked and I dont want to risk relocking the device, or having to restore it.

    I really appreciate your help!
