I FINALLY GOT YOUTUBE WORKING on 1.1.4...
Step 1: backup your settings and files on itunes
Step 2: restore iphone to default( this will erase everything)
Step 3: try Youtube before Jailbreak to make sure its working
Step 4: ***important*** run ziphone for JAILBREAK only!
YouTUBE remains working. when I tried to DO-IT-ALL youtube never worked afterwards.
Step 5: Sync iphone to get your settings, contacts, emails back

I tried every fix on every site! After trying them all I finally found one that worked. Thanks to RYU ^^b Solution #5. I am using 1.1.3.

First, get this http://soundsgood.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/files/youtube.zip

after you extract this file, you will get three files. then put them in the /var/root/Library/Lockdown/ with WinSCP or some tools.

And reboot your iPhone, then Youtube should be worked.

3. restart the iphone
4. uninstall youtube activation
5. restart the iphone
6. install youtube activation
7. restart the iphone
8. test the youtube app. It will work now

You dont know anything man, if the youtube says 'you must first connect~enable youtube,' then there is a way to fix it perfectly.

English is not my first language, so I think its hard to understand but GOOD LUCK.

Here is something crazy, I got so annoyed with not having you tube or email even after attempting the fix, that I decided to re-lock my phone with Ziphone. Well at the end it crashed, and my phone was a $400 paper weight. I then unlocked it again(after placing the correct files in the directory(prior to the re-locking process), and suddenly everything works, and I am using 1.1.3

The youtube problem exists because there is no wifi connection. You need to goto settings than click on wifi

I TRIED ALL OF THE CANNOT CONNECT TO YOU TUBE FIXES, & I THINK WHEN I DOWNLOADED THE ZIPHONE3.0 & IT CAME WITH THE TWEAKS 1.1.4
A) INSTALL IT
B)RESTART
C)TRY YOU TUBE.. IF IT DOESNT WORK
D)UNINSTALL IT & REPEAT A THRU D....

ALOT OF PPL SAY THINGS WORKED FOR THEM THAT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME.. BUT THE ONLY LINK TO ME GETTING YOU TUBE WAS USING THE TWEAKS FOR 1.1.4

I TRIED I.UNLOCK.NO - YOU TUBE ACTIVATION & IT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME
I TRIED WINSCP & FILE SWAPPING IN THE LOCKDOWN FOLDER.. DIDN'T WORK FOR ME
I JUST GOT THE PHONE TODAY & IM UP & RUNNING

ZIPHONE 3.0 HAS ALL TEH FIXES BUUILT IN!!
GOOD LUCK ... & GOD BLESS

I have the locked to O2 UK version 1.1.4 and I got the same problems after I jailbreak with ZiPhone. The only thing I did was removing the Sim Card and replaced it back and the YouTube was there waiting. No fuzz, no hassles. No need of those bloody technical directory download install whatever. Thanks anyway for this website just to know I wasn't the only who suffered with this glitch.
