1.1.4 Mail not working

[THEHNIC]

So I just updated to 1.1.4 and used the new Ziphone and it worked great. The only problem I'm having is when I click on mail it will open then shut right down. Does anyone know how to fix this.


Thanks,

Sean

I had this problem too.
I got it fixed, but I am not sure how. Let me just list what I did, because I don't think it had anything to do with ZiPhone.
Sync'd
uninstalled all 3rd party software I could.
held the shift key and restored to 1.1.4
Restored profile. everything was working at this point.- but I never tested my mail.
jailbroke.
added software back on
found mail problem.
Restored 1.1.4 stock again
restored profile
tested mail- Failed.
tried to restore to 1.1.2 -failed
tried 1.1.3 -failed
did 1.1.4 again - worked.
Checked everything- everything worked!
restored my profile.
Checked everything- everything worked!
sync'd to get my movies and music back.
Checked everything- everything worked!
jailbroke with ZiPhone 2.3
Checked everything- everything worked!
installed my apps again
Checked everything- everything worked!
installed iPhysics
Checked everything- everything worked!
installed pinball and Moo'n patrol
Checked and those 2 levels didn't work. used Winscp and changed permissions and ...Still didn't work. I'm going to play with it tonight. The app level starts to launch and remains blank.
I think the attempts to go backwards was the reason the install finally took correctly. ( i saw that the name of my phone changed twice during all this.)

I had this problem too. I found it to be related to restoring from a back up. I did a restore without reverting to the back up and it fixed everything. If you sync all your contacts and pics it is no big deal to loose it during the restore. hope this helps

You've just got a permissions issue due to restoring your emails after the upgrade.

Sounds like you've already sorted it out, but a quicker solution would be to adjust your permissions. You can find the fix I posted for this in Tinman's Easy 1.1.3 JB thread. SOrry I cant paste the URL here, I'm on my iphone :T

Had to restore again due to some bugs, went to change permissions for the crashing mail app. I forgot what to change permissions to and tried 077 and that worked. Why would 777 and 077 both work?

What program do you use for Windows?


In addition to the mail problem, I am on 1.1.4, managed to install BSD Subsystem, the Appsupportpatch 1.1.4, but when I try to install OpenSSH or Terminal, I get "Package download failed" Error!!!


Any help is greatly appreciated.

go into Sources and make sure that you have the latest Community Sources available. Install it and reboot.

[Scottshotz]

I rejb'd yesterday after 1.1.4 restore/update. And I don't think I have community sources. What's the source?

[overbo0st2k4]

Thank you very much SteveSpear and Hawk. The combination of your two responses, steve with setting the permissions and Hawk with telling me to install community sources, now I have a fully functioning jailbroken 1.1.4!!

I was seriously upset with having to restore 6 times to try to figure it out, but am much better now that mail app works.


THANKS MUCH!!!!

It's in Install, under sources, above System. You don't have to add a source for it.

I had the same problem. I had to restore. The next time I jailbroke I made sure that I didnt restore from and backup on iTunes and started clean. I had no mail problem and no youtube problems. My jailbroke phone works perfect!

right click on it, go to get info, and then change the numbers on the bottom from 0664 or whatever they are to 777. click enter or apply and close window, disconnect from ssh, and reboot iphone.

my problem is it keeps asking for a password even tho it is set correctly. Will doing this fix this as well?

[~stangzorized~]

My phone was working fine before I went on vacation for a month. I came back home and my mom had changed my number. I got home, turned on my phone and everything seems to work alright except for my mail.. it's giving me the same error, "The user name or password for imap.apple.mail.yahoo is incorrect... Any easier fix to this? I have cuteFTP but it's expired.. what should I do?

[free2rhyme590]

I had a problem with my mail too and I just installed the syncfix1.1.3 I think its in the iclarified source in installer

[BadgerInLV]

I was using Fugu to alter the permissions. I got to the mail file, right-clicked on "Get Info" and changed the number, but I got an error message saying that it had to be a 4 digit number. I tried entering in 0777 and it didn't fix the problem. Any suggestions? Should I try another SSH program? I have an iMac with Leopard. Thanks!

[Hawk]

have you tried to restore factory settings? It doesn't remove your data, just restores the program settings

[goobs22xx]

For whatever its worth, this happened to my non jailbroken phone today after I restored it (it was jb'd prior to the restore).

I'm restoring it now as a new phone to see where that gets me.

First problem I've had with a legit firmware, that's for sure.

[James.Bailey]

I'm having the same issue with my non-jailbroken phone. New restore works great for awhile - then the mail keeps crashing. Is there a way to change permissions on a non-jailbroken iPhone. I don't really have a need to jailbreak, so I'd prefer not to mess around too much.
