How to Install Mobile Terminal for iOS 5 on Your iPhone

By , Jan 23, 2012

Those of you who use Mobile Terminal know that the version currently in Cydia hasn’t been updated in a while, and currently doesn’t support iOS 5 and above. As usual, we have a fix for you.

As a matter of fact, we had a fix for you three months ago, when we first published a tutorial on how to install MobileTerminal on your iPhone running iOS 5…

We have a full video tutorial for you here, but if you need step by step written instructions, I suggest you check out our previous post on how to get Mobile Terminal on your iPhone iOS 5.

    There is a much easier way. Just go to cydia and install mobile terminal(new).

    Remember: u can use any terminal emulator from the app store (iSSH, Prompt etc.) Just set server to 127.0.0.1; username root; password alpine (unless u changed it). Obviously u will need OpenSSH installed.
    They usually have some more features than Mobile Terminal. I like Prompt a lot….bigger fonts, more user friendly etc.

    Is there any logical reason for Mobile Terminal not to be hosted on a clean repo?
