GSM?
GSM?
Iphone 4 normal not Verizon
So, just in case I missed something: You launch the app, do nothing, close
it and when you try to re-launch it, the iPhone reboots
that's correct. The App try open and closed half second after, trying
several times the iPhone reboots.

OK, sounds like a Bug. I'll see what I can do
thanks by the way
Thanks. There is some way to save a log of app lauch. I can read some pam
error line xxx but I don't have time enough to read complete line.
Oh, I got those too one day. Only a restore was able to fix, sorry.
I got the same bug. Please hepl
Have you tried restoring your device entirely?
I'm unsure what causes this, since I was unable to reproduce it since then
I was also unable to reproduce this. I doubt it's a bug with MT. Frankly, I
don't see how it could cause the phone to reboot.
I've also been unable to reproduce this bugs, without lack of trying. No
crashes or reboots. Frankly, I don't see how it could possibly reboot the
phone. I think accepting this bug was premature.
Not sure about the reboot, but it crashes half second after launch.
iOS 4.3.2
Pls let me know if you need more details.
Thanks!
Does the terminal itself have any output before?
Like "PAM Module Error" or something
No, it just disappears showing nothing. The icon still can be seen in task
bar, though. But upon tapping it the same "open and close app window"
happens.
Ok, just to ensure it's not a permission problem, ssh into your device as
root and run the following:
chmod -R 0777 /Applications/Terminal.app
Then reboot and try again.
Yeah, I did just that. Unfortunately, all symptoms still stand.
I wonder if I could enable some logging to help you investigate this.
iPhone 3GS with AT&T.
Issue: Install MobileTerminal (tried 511-1), launch app, shuts down a
second later. Installed using Cydia, but also later installed using WinSCP.
*Mine did not reboot the iphone after re-launching it several times.
Resolution: Uninstalled MobileTerminal after installing CyDelete, because
it would not delete from Cydia. Downloaded
MobileTerminal_520-1_iphoneos-arm.deb, then launched WinSCP, logged into
iphone, copied over 520-1, then executed using dpkg -i. It
displayed, "Setting up MobileTerminal...." something like that (forgot to
take a screenshot). I waited several minutes, but did not see a "finished"
or "completed" sign. Rebooted the iphone, MobileTerminal icon appeared,
launched the icon, it displayed, "loading...", briefly then provided me
with the command prompt as expected. Works for me now, so hopefully this
can help others.
Anyone else having this problem, try ssh-ing into your phone and running
MobileTerminal directly that way form the command line. (ie, via
/Applications/MobileTerminal.app/...). If it crashes you should get some
kind of log message.
Also, I imagine there is a console log somewhere that might have some
details. Not sure, since I don't have an iPhone.
Hello, I have the same problem (Ipod touch 4.2.1) I did what suggested here
above: ssh to my device and launch terminal. Here is the returned message:
iPod-Guy:/var/mobile root# /Applications/Terminal.app/Terminal
dyld: Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_UITile
Referenced from: /Applications/Terminal.app/Terminal
Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/UIKit
Trace/BPT trap
I'll try building rev520 for 4.2.1 and upload a zipped version of it.
As for me, it sounds like a compile-time/linking bug
Comment #21 on issue 279 by dave.sto...@gmail.com: Crash or reboot device
Sorry, it seems like it'd take some time to get this jenga-style code
compiled and running for me.
Additionally, I'll mark this issue as Priority-High
UITile missing means you're using the old version from Cydia, that hasn't
worked for years. (See half of the email to the google group)
Get a newer version here:
http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/downloads/list
or here:
http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/wiki/Installation
You are right Allen, I was using the old version of MobileTerminal from
Cydia/Telesphoreo repository. It was a newly jailbroken Ipod touch.
I follow the link you suggested
http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/wiki/Installation
choose the easiest method (add the YourCydiaRepo) installed version 520-1.
In 30 seconds I was done and I can use the terminal.
Perfect many thanks

However, that does not solve the original issue
Agreed. We need details about that issue (crash reports, a console error
message, anything)
i have the same issue. trying to launch app (520-1, iphone4, ios4.3.3)
from springboard twice an found my iphone rebooting itself. when i'm trying
to launch the app via ssh (eighter as root or mobile) i don't get an error
like #19, but nothing happens: no app launch appers on the device screen
although beeing executed. closed the app using ctrl-c and did not end up in
a rebooting device.
there are no crash logs or reports except a panic report. it's attached.
could be meaningless but it is everthing i could get...

I'm having the same issue on iOS 5, on an iPod touch 4th gen. When I open
mobile terminal it says something like "press any key to restart" and
beneath that it says "[process completed]." ocasionally I as a Pam error,
but that is only have the time. After mobile terminal displays that output
it crashes and closes. I've tried using ldid to fake code sign it, chmod -R
777 /Applications/Terminal.app, and rebooting a couple of times,
reinstalling it, but nothing has helped. Additionally I tried launching
terminal over ssh and it ran, but nothing appeared on screen, I ended up
killing it with a ^C.
Same Error happened to me when I jailbroke my iPod 4th gen today. IOS
5.0.1. I get that PAM error and the on second attempt it reboots the
device. I tried installing it with the listed method too but no use. Help!!
Last night I installed the gmail app. It ran once and then no apps from the
Apple app store were able to run. They all ran for a second and then
closed. Strangely, all cydia and Mobileterminal continued to work. I
deleted all cache files and all the Apple Store apps and restored from my
Mac (except gmail) and it was fixed. I recommend the same.
I'm experiencing almost exactly the same scenario as the poster in comment
28: just upgraded my iPhone 4 to 5.0.1, jailbroke, installed MobileTerminal
520-1 -- it runs once with the PAM error (trying to get a screenshot), then
quits, and on the second attempt, it reboots.
I have had almost the same problem as number 28. I am on an iPod though 4th
iOS 5.0.1. I can open it twice then the screen goes white and it reboots.
I have the same problem with IOS 5.O.1:
Every time i open mobile terminal(520-1)it shows:
"login:PAM error (line 396): system error
[Process Completed]
Press any key to restart"
Then the App closed half a second after.
If i try another time to open it the iPhone reboots.
Please help me fix this problem. Thanks!

I finally found the solution for the PAM error.
Reinstall system-cmds, PAM (Apple) and PAM modules solved the issues.
It works.
Thanks.

Confirmed - that fix works for me as well. Thanks, commenter #33!
i confirm too. thanx 33
