OK - Update Time............

First Thank you Jan for pointing out where I might have gone wrong. However there is nothing in your post which can be related to anything I have done whatsoever - I am a total noob when it comes to these things so have to insert everything as it's stated literally, I have done so and can confirm that nothing you suggest is relevant.

I can honestly say that after inserting the echo command I immediately got the problem of not being able to re-boot. The phone was working perfectly beforehand. I never inserted the command "iplayer-dl http:// etc etc etc" - not sure where that came from I always inserted the command "iplayer http:// etc etc etc".

So I seem to think that it was something to do with the echo command - after all I did nothing other than that before the problem started!

However more to the point, I waited with baited breath for you to confirm that my versions of Ruby and iplayer-dl were correct but over the last few posts you have not answered my questions at all leaving me to assume things were ok - you make assumptions then give the possible consequences - sorry to say that but that has been the situation since I started - yes I think I got the outputs from the commands wrong in the beginning but I stress nothing had a detremental effect until this morning, when, after you did not answer my questions regarding the software versions, I entered the echo command. It was this command that started messing with my WiFi connection - up to then my WiFi connection had been stable since I got my phone originally - not once had I been disconnected. So were the software versions correct? - given that others might have inadvertently upgraded their copies of Ruby too, I think it would have been appropriate to say which version is the correct one and which isn't - VERSION NUMBERS please.

So no, I do not believe it had nothing to do with the echo command, far from it.

OK that's my tuppence -worth but let me say this too please.......

I know that there are people out there who have got this to work so I know that you have got something here albeit in the development phase. I would stress to noobs not to even think about doing anything until a full application with a proper GUI is posted in a catelogue other than a development one or testing one. I am sure with all Jan's hard work, this can not be long off?

I take full responsibility for my actions but stress again that it must have had something to do with the inputting the echo command which caused my problems.

As for my phone - it was still within the 28-day replacement guarantee and the lovely guys at my local shop replaced the phone this morning before I went to work . I will not be undertaking anything like this again, I value my phone too much, even though re-flashing it, probably would have restored it back to good working order with the original Factory Settings.

Good luck to all who venture before a full application is released
