Mobile Terminal does not work on my jailbroken unlocked 3G with iOS4 -- opens then closes immediately without showing a cursor.

ditto. hopefully there will be a fix soon. ios4 also lags on the 3g i noticed

Mobile Terminal Crashing.

I have a 3g phone

Wanted to change the root password. So installed 'mobile terminal' using cydia. But when I lanuch the application it crahes.

Hi. I've jailbroken, installed Cydia,installed mobile terminal but I can't seem to start the Terminal (Mobile terminal) from the Springboard. I click on it and the black screen comes up in a flash and that's it. Back to the Springboard. I've reinstalled it a couple of times and rebooted my iphone4 as well. Can you help me please?
One other question. I've already copied SMS ringer to Iphone via SSH already and I won't be need to do this again any time soon so I'm wondering if there is a threat of being hacked if I just leave it like this. I have SSH installed via cydia but if I don't connect to a PC via Wi-Fi it won't be a threat?

just did it, just used Mac's Terminal instead of putty.

SSH Question

if you turn off SSH is the iPhone still vulnerable?
