An Update about YouTube Fix for Blackra1n Jailbreak

by Simon Ng on January 20, 2010

If you have jailbroken your iPhone with blackra1n on OS 3.1.2, chance is that you may not be able to connect to YouTube after jailbreaking. In early November, I have covered to use PushFix 1.0 to fix the YouTube connection problem. Originally, PushFix is originally designed for resolving push notification issue but it’s found that it can fix the YouTube issue at the same time.

Anyhow, this is not an official fix and PushFix 1.0 will introduce the push broadcast problem. To completely resolve the connection issue of YouTube, the developer of Pushfix has come up with a YouTube Fix that officially rectify the problem and it’s available for free through cydia. Unlike the original Pushfix, as mentioned by the developer, this fix do not cause excessive battery drain.

Procedures to Install YouTube Fix for Jailbroken iPhone

Not everyone of you using blackra1n is required to install YouTube fix. If you do not have any connection with YouTube after blackra1n jailbreak, you do not need to bother with this fix. Just enjoy watching the videos. That’s it!

But if you encounter “Cannot connect to YouTube” after launching the app (assuming that your WiFi or 3G connection is normal), it’s very likely you need this fix.

1. First, launch cydia.

2. Tap “Manage” -> “Source” and then tap the “Edit” button.

3. Tap “Add”. Then add the Pushfix source (http://cydia.pushfix.info).

4. Once you have added the repository, you should be able to download the YouTube Fix package. Go to “Search” and key in “YouTube” to locate the YouTube Fix package.

5. There are three packages of YouTube Fix. Tap on “Youtube Fix #1″ and install it.

Once the installation is complete, go back to home screen and launch YouTube. You should be able to connect to YouTube.

In case the fix doesn’t work for you, launch cydia again and uninstall the “YouTube Fix #1″. Then go through step 4 & 5 of the above procedures. But for step 5, install “Youtube Fix #2″ instead. If it still doesn’t work, uninstall #2 and install the “YouTube Fix #3″ package. It’s very important you only install one of the YouTube fixes at one time.

Tip: If you’re in search of solution to fix Push Notification after jailbreaking your iPhone, you can use PushFix 2.0 to resolve the issue. Check out this guide for further information.
