    I have read around in the forums, but I still cannot find a possible answer.
    Anyway, i try to download summerboard or bosstool and it downloads fine, until it says installing then it just exits installer and nothing happens. I have tried rebooting my iPod, but it still doesn't work. However, before this I managed to download open ssh and services without a problem.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Oh btw I'm on 1.1.3 ipodtouchmaster's jalilbreak. I think that's the official dec team jb.

    you are running out of space on your partition! install bosstools and move your fonts and ringtones (will give you about 109mb of more free space!

    ^^^ someone tell this asshole not to advertise here

    also, the only apps i have installed are BSD subsystem, Open SSH, and VNSea, I don't see how i could be running out of space.

    I tried downloading MobileChat and it crashed on install however the icon showed up on my springboard when i restarted the ipod. My theory is that it started installing and ran out of space so all i got was the icon. When i click it, it opens then crashes.

    Should i SSH into the iPod and try to remove some applications that way? Any other ideas?

    Same here... i had boss tools installed in 1.1.2, I jailbroke (ipodtouchmaster version) fine up to 1.1.3 (my 2nd time... i know what i was doing). Now that I have updated any apps from Installer.app are gone/hidden/missing. Installer still has them listed in the 'uninstall' list... and uninstalling/reinstalling does nothing.

    Everything runs successfully with the standard apple apps, but any installer app goes thru download and starts install, but then almost finishes and pops back to black screen and then main screen (without the soft reboot as with my previous experience with installer).

    I've done some searching, but this is the thread closest to my problem... i'll keep looking tho. Thanks for any help.

    i think i KIND OF got the same problem

    the problem is that when it finishes installing something i go back home and then it just shows that its loading...and it never stops

    i dont know why this happens

    i then just wait until it runs out of juice then charge it and then use SSH to delete the thing i just downloaded and goes back to normal then uninstall it in the installer app (maybe this might help with some people whos touches r screwed up)

    it is so annoying and i can never get the apps i want (e.g. iAno, iBlackjack, Yeti3D)

    anybody know how to solve this problem?????

    note: this problem does not apply to stuff related to other apps (e.g. summerboard themes, customize themes, LocateMe)
