You will have to SSH into your iPhone then and go to

/var/mobile/Library/SummerBoard/Themes

Delete the theme folder thats in there.

Every time I try to download something in installer I get an Error (Package Download Failed!)

I have tried force quitting the installer but this didnt help, it still sais error. I have 2 updates in the update section which are both the same, but both also have the same error.

Any ideas?

- Turn on SSH on your iPhone, if you haven't got SSH, download OpenSSH from the Installer.

- Make sure you are connected to a wireless network on you iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi > Click the little blue arrow next to your network and make a note of your IP address.

- Next, open WinSCP, Fetch, Fugu or Transmit. Enter the following settings:

Hostname: You iPhone IP.
Username: root
Connect using: SFTP
Password: alpine or dottie (unless you changed the SSH password when you installed SSH)

Click connect.

No, on your computer.

Came with the jailbreaking.

Raymond Lin · 26 Apr 2008 at 17:01

So which one of those programs are on Windows? which one is free ?

Raymond Lin · 26 Apr 2008 at 17:04

can i not just use something like Filezilla to connect to my phone?

Freakitchen · 26 Apr 2008 at 17:05

I recently got WinSCP, painless install and works fine. I believe Filezilla is FTP only although could be wrong there

Edit: looks like i am wrong, Filezilla suggests it can do SSH

Raymond Lin · 26 Apr 2008 at 17:06

well, just tried filezilla, it connects but i can't see aything.

Raymond Lin · 26 Apr 2008 at 17:13

right, running WinSCP, where do i go in the program??

I put in the ip, login and password, but i can only see my other harddrives

Ry@n · 26 Apr 2008 at 17:17

I have just restored and ziphoned again.

I still cannot get anything in installer to install, it keeps saying 'package download failed'.

Also BBC iPlayer sais it cannot play the video.

What can i try ? I just want to install summerboard and apply a theme at the moment.

Taff · 26 Apr 2008 at 17:19

I'm getting the same "Package download failed" error.

Can't provide you with too much technical help as this is new to me, but all I do is make sure SSH is turned on in BossPrefs, then enter the IP, standard Port (22) username 'root' and password 'alpine'.

That connects me at the /Private/Var/Root folder.

Raymond Lin · 26 Apr 2008 at 17:28

well, Filezilla worked ! :d
and its gone !

Ry@n · 26 Apr 2008 at 17:50

I got rid of the 'package download failed' !

I turned auto-lock from 1 minute to 5 minutes and it suddenly let me download from the installer again.

Strange but try it and see if it works for you too.

Gman · 26 Apr 2008 at 18:00

Anyone know what i'm doing wrong with summerBoard? installed it and restarted the iPhone then download a theme in staller for SummerBoard but its not showing up in themems in summerBoard options ?

Dave85 · 26 Apr 2008 at 18:04

just got mine and ziphoned it for everything all seems to be working fine, itunes is now telling me 1.1.4 is available do i just click update and then ziphone it again once its done ?

Ry@n · 26 Apr 2008 at 18:04

I had to install summerboard, then a theme straight after, then restart the iphone, then it would allow me to apply a theme.
