YouTube Fix For Firmware 1.0.2
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” https://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

LimitedEditioniPhone:
I have version 1.0.2 on an unlocked iPhone. I installed my simcard from my Rogers cellphone and the iPhone is working with the exception of YouTube.
I haven’t connected the iPhone to iTunes or to my PC.
The phone came with Installver v2.63 and has an update for Installer version 3.0b8 ready for me to install.
The vendor has said not to update or restore the firmware, so I am unsure of what steps I should take to make YouTube work. I am getting the message “Cannot connect to YouTube”. I can browse web pages using my WiFi connection.
Should I follow:
1. Easy YouTube Fix?
2. YouTube Fix For Firmware 1.0.2
3. Steps 5 and 6 from YouTube Fix For Firmware 1.0.2 only.
Should I backup my iPhone using iTunes before I do anything?
Should I install the 3.0b8 version of the installer?
Thank you for your help.
june // Jan 16, 2008 at 12:43 PM
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

Hello,
My phone does not have the ‘activation_records’ folder. Will the hack in read still work for me?
Thanks
joe // Jan 21, 2008 at 5:38 AM
Yes the hack will work. if you read above. you just have to create a folder that is names exactly that… and the file in it. if you need these files let me know I will post them or thsy are probably already posted in thei forumn. as for the edge thing. that should be the same fix. I dont use edge cause thats a big rip off. just like the 2 year contract bullshit. ( for another topic) anyway..goood luck
hossam // Jan 21, 2008 at 6:06 AM
i didnt have the activation folder either. i created it myself, and tried the hack mentioned above. it hasnt changed anything tho, i still cant get youtube to work!!!!!! its really stressing me out now. does anyone know what to do? im using firmware 1.1.1 jailbroken and sim unlocked. everythings working fine except for that bitch youtube!!!!!!
Morgan // Jan 21, 2008 at 6:08 AM
Hello Joe,
Yes I think I need the files that you mention.
If I understand correctly. I have a version 1.1.2 OTB hacked with TurboSIM iPhone. I have no activation_records folder. I am guessing that this means that I cannot use the method above that is described in red?
Or is that I can use the method above as long as I have created my own activation_records and put the plist file into it that you are going to post?
I am kind of a bit confused as to the method here for those that have 1.1.2 but no activation_records folder.
Thanks
hossam // Jan 21, 2008 at 8:00 AM
joe can you help me?! here is what i did..
im using WinSCP to browse folders on my iphone
i replaced the three files in /private/var/root/Library/Lockdown
so now there are the three files,,and a file called .DS_Store that seems to be hidden or something.
since i dont have an activation_records folder,,i created one myself..and i left it empty.
i then deleted all the files in the pair_records folder. i restarted the phone.
but youtube still is not working. when i try opening youtube,,it loads for a while,,and then it says “load 25 more” thats it. i click on load 25 more,,it will say “load 16 more” or watever,,until there are no more videos. but i cant actually see any videos. theres nothing!!!
can you tell me EXACTLY what you have done?! step by step!! ive been tryin for several days now. thanks in advance.
p.s. firmware version 1.1.1
Marco BW // Jan 22, 2008 at 11:15 AM
Hello,
I’ve just installed youtubefix on my 1.1.2 Iphone that I use with a KingSIM.
Now Youtube goes OK using EDGE, but Meteo and Stocks widgets doesn’t update anymore, they don’t find the Host.
Can you help me ?
Is it possible to restore to previous situation ?
Can you tell me the text to put by ssh on my iphone the restore the status quo before youtube fix ?
many thanks
marco
joe // Jan 22, 2008 at 11:25 AM
Ok heres the files on my .mac public folder…..For you windows users , I cant help you get the files. but heres what I did…..exactly ….kinda easy…. follow the instructions above, I will post and explain as we go along…..
(this might get big).(ps anyone know of a job for me, let me know, hehe)
TRY THE MANUAL METHODS BELOW
To get youtube working on you have to put these 3 files: (link below)
data_ark.plist
device_private_key.pem
device_publ ic_key.pem
in /private/var/root/Library/Lockdown
———–ok I just downloaded these 3 files. or I put them on my .mc account…public folder…
noall666
———–
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_records
——–ok this gets a little tricky. but heres what you do. he is explaining that in a file there is some stuff you hve to copy and then in another file you hve to paste that stuff in the second file on in part of the file….
here we go
————-
find below entry in the data_ark.plist
-DeviceCertificate
copy what is between
——–I used (mac i am using) omni outliner to open the file(data_ark.plist) which is in the download……open it up in omni…. u will c stuff on the right column…. and lots of computor hack bullshit on the left….. when you see device certificate… just copy all the data shit on the right… from the top of were device starts to the next word in the left column……
————
open .plist found in activation_records find DeviceCertificate
paste between
Ok now in the folder activation there should be a file plist open it and paste what you copied over the top of whats next to the device certificate in that file……
done…that did it for me…now for those of you who dont have these files. I will give you…..
3 files that you need …..as per instructions….1 file , the activation folder and file I have on my 1.1.1 iphone hacked…. fully!!! and the you tube application…as He stated earlier in this post….. just replace your 1.1.2 application of you tube with a 1.1.1 app and these files and it should work…..
———-
If you do not have an activation_records folder:
1). Create an empty activation_records folder
2). copy the three files described
3). remove all the files in the pair_records folder
4). reboot
http://www.filefactory.com/file/9e0917
Ok .mc public folder
noall666
also….make sure you try the you tube fixes first in the installer. there are 2 i found( neither worked though)
ALSO I am using FUGU… to ssh to my iphone. THIS IS A MUST KNOW HOW TO DO. I can explain how to do this as well but thats another topic……
hope this helps….(now i get those files uploded…
GOOD LUCK…. you can send donations if you wish… 25 cents what ever works for ya…..
later
ps 1 note, My activation records folder is gone…so i put a empty one there. that should be ok….just reboot….hope this works….
feel free to browse my MSJ folder and take what you want….
joe // Jan 25, 2008 at 3:17 AM
type o
.mac account

noall666
joe // Jan 25, 2008 at 3:19 AM
that is an idisk for those of you who dont know what that is…..
joe // Jan 25, 2008 at 3:21 AM
found this for you pc people…
The address to your Public folder on your iDisk is: http://idisk.mac.com/membername-Public

My iphone version is 1.0.2,I try every method introduced on net to activate youtube , can you teache me the easist and effective way to fix the problem
Vera // Feb 7, 2008 at 11:43 PM
I used the program for the computer to try to get my youtube to work but upon using it, my iphone stopped connecting to m computer at all. Not only does it not connect to itunes, but it actually isn’t recognized by my computer. I was really hoping that you might possibly be able to somehow help me. Is there a way to restore the iphone without connecting it to the computer?
Vera // Feb 8, 2008 at 12:19 AM
If it helps, it seems to connect in iphone restore mode and even is recognized by ibrickr but it doesn’t seem to respond to the computer under normal circumstances.
joe // Feb 11, 2008 at 4:50 AM
Guys come on. All the instructions are right there.
1.0.2 easy to get you tube to work. You must make sure you have the corect boot loader as well. this will fuck up alot of other stuff. I bet that is the problem on the 1.0.2 version
vera. not sure what to do with you. sounds like you just wnat to start over now that you are in restore mode. you know you cant get outta that. I would restore with what ever version was on it. 1.1.1 or 1.0.2….nothing else……and go from there. that one needs lots of help…
