"Package Download Failed" Error FIX - iFoneHaX Network

Pirate · 03-06-2008, 03:13 AM

Getting the "package download failed" error after using ZiPhone to jailbreak? Use the method below to fix:

Open Terminal (WinSCP)
Type SSH root@IPHONE’S IP ADDRESS
Hit Enter
Enter password (will appear invisible, but it’s there)
Hit Enter

Then start… do each line separately, followed by hitting enter.

cd /
cd Applications/
wget http://repository.apptapp.com/packag.../Installer.zip
rm -rf Installer.app
unzip Installer.zip
chmod +s Installer.app/Installer
chown -R root:wheel Installer.app
rm Installer.zip

That should fix the "package download failed" issue!

We have a guide for that if you need to know how to use it because it requires a few things that you may not know how to do

Hi,

Thanks for the method. But i could not open the WinSCP after downloading. Is there any particular programme needed to open this rar.file

Use WinRAR. It is like WinZIP.

hi, i've successfully download the WinRAR and WinSCP.
BUT when i tried to log in to the WinSCP (using Explorer) following the steps u've given above (tried both SFTP and SCP), the message error shown :
Network error. Connection timed out/refused.

Do i need to purchase the WinRAR as prompted when opening the program?

Please help. Thank you.

WinRAR is just a compressor, you have to extract the content of the files before you can use them. I advise you read this before going on as it might help you.

I already posted this on the winSCP tut, but all you need to do is install the BSD subsystem and openSSH found in the installer under the system category
