I have the exact same error as Dennis.
BSD installed, reinstalled…
error message ==> dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libintl.8.dylib

My firmware is 1.1.4 on an ipod touch.

Nobody has another solution?

I found a copy of libintl.8.dylib (it was referenced here: http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showpost.php?p=244037&postcount=18). Downloaded it, and copied it via sftp (using Cyberduck) to /usr/lib on the iPhone. The original error where the library was not loaded went away. But…

Like J dubb (see post above from him), now I am getting a stream of “failed to open for writing: No such file or directory” errors.

Doesn’t seem to want to work for me. :(

For reference, here is the error I am getting. Again, BSD Subsystem is installed.

Thanks for the help. I really need to get this iPhone off to its proud new owner tomorrow or the next day and don’t want my personal information leaving the United States and finding its way into the hands of an eBay buyer.

Terminal Output (Error):

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libintl.8.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/bin/shred
Reason: image not found

I am getting the same errors noted by another user regarding the “libintl.8.dylib” file. Where can I get this? I have BSD Subsystem installed.

:mrgreen:

Nevermind — understand that part now.

When I emtered the root and IP, and then the password alpine, the prompt showed a # sign, then a ^M while the long erase is running? Is that normal (am using PuTTY btw).

Also, when you say loooonnnngggg time, do you mean like many hours? I know it varies, but mine has been running for 3 hours now, and is still going — I guess (not sure what the ending command prompt will indeed be confirming clean?).

Lastly, how does one check if indeed it has done its job?

Thanks again for putting this up!!!!!!!! :wink:

Help!

On instruction 3 on the wiping data for selling my iPhone: 3) Go to our sources page and add the iPhoneFreakz.com source.

I went to the sources page, and do not find that at all?????

Help!

I got the same thing. I used cyberduck ( http://cyberduck.ch/ ) to shh into the phone and delete the mail.app/mobile folder/notes/address etc., and all the necessary stuff and trash it. Then restore the phone but not from backup.

You can get $400.00 if you sell your iphone today on craigslist $300.min. Apparently folks want the iphone

Try doing that with an old Razor phone after one year. After you sell your iphone just go to walmart and buy a disposable gophone from t-mobile or att at bestbuy for $14.00. and wait two weeks to buy the new iphone.

When I run the command I get just error messages about failing to open for writing. This is repeated for what appears to be every file on the system. I followed the directions step by step. Any help is appreciated.

Sample of the error.

/usr/bin/shred: â€˜/var/mobile/Library/Mail/Accounts.plistâ€™: failed to open for writing: No such file or directory

No , You open terminal (check the ip on your iPhone)

type ssh -l root (iphone ip addresss)
type the password

and then when you see a black screen with a prompt, you can copy and paste those commands above :)
