Mobile Terminal for 5.0.1 iOS is one of the most use jailbreak tweaks. Sadly, the updated version is not available in Cydia. However, you can still install Mobile Terminal on iPad 2 or on iPhone 4S, or on any other device. Here are the steps that you need to follow:
Step 1: Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1
- iPhone 4S & iPad 2 Users: Use Absinthe or Cinject
- iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad & iPod Touch Users: Use Redsn0w
Step 2: Download Mobile Terminal: MobileTerminal_520-1_iphoneos-arm.deb
Step 3: SSH into iPhone. Windows: Use i-FunBox or WinCSP. Mac: Use CyberDuck
Step 4: Copy the Mobile Terminal file (that you downloaded in step 2 above) to: /var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall
Note: You should be able to find the specified directories in your device’s file system. If you cannot locate the “Cydia” folder in “Media”, create it. Then create another folder named “AutoInstall” in “Cydia” folder and copy the .deb file there.
Step 5: Reboot your device.
That’s it! You can now find the Mobile Terminal on your iOS 5.0.1 powered device.
