A few of you have asked about how to replace the carrier logos on your iPhone. Personally I feel that having AT&T up there all the time is annoying, so I felt replacing it with "iPhone" was a little more fitting. I'll be borrowing a bit from my previous guide so I don't have to write everything over again ;)
So here we go!:
<b>Step 1:</b> Download the <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/42629387/iPhone_goodies.zip.html" target="_blank">magical package of goodies</a> and unzip them to your desktop. I'll be assuming you've done this throughout the guide.
<b>Step 2:</b> After you've unzipped your goodies, pop open the Terminal located in the Applications > Utilities folder.
<b>Step 3:</b> In the terminal, type the following -
<blockquote><i>cd ~/Desktop/iPhone\ goodies/tools/</i></blockquote>Hit return, then type
<blockquote><i>./jailbreak</i></blockquote><b>Step 4:</b> Restart your iPhone into soft recovery mode by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and Home button at the same time. Keep these two buttons held until you see a yellow exclamation mark with the words "Please Connect to iTunes" at which point you can let go. You will see a spinning gear shortly after while the iPhone boots. When it's done, it will restart.
The purpose of Steps 3 and 4 is to gain file access to your iPhone. After this has been done, you can play with the iPhone's file system all you want in the terminal, but for some technical reasons, iTunes doesn't see your iPhone correctly. For this reason, I end the guide by telling you how to get back into jail which allows iTunes to function properly again. While you're out of jail you can make as many changes to the iPhone you want without repeating Steps 3 and 4 until you get back into jail.
<b>Step 5:</b> Download the carrier logo (http://rapidshare.com/files/44431443/CarrierLogo.zip.html) package which contains the default AT&T carrier logo as well as the modified one I made. You'll notice there are two versions, white and black. This is because iPhone displays two different backgrounds in the top bar depending upon the current app. You'll need to make both versions so it looks correct.
<b>Step 6:</b> In a terminal window, type the following -
<blockquote><i>cd ~/Desktop/iPhone\ goodies/tools/</i></blockquote>Hit return, then type
<blockquote><i>./iphoneinterface</i></blockquote>Hit return. You should now see the following:
<blockquote><i>Waiting for phone... established.
iPhone state: Activated
type "help" for help
iPhone:/#</i></blockquote>
You are now in the iPhoneInterface shell. This allows you to manipulate the iPhone's file system while out of jail. Using the putfile command allows you to upload a file to iPhone such as ringtones and wallpapers. Any file you want to place on iPhone must be inside of the tools folder (not your desktop, not in a subfolder of tools, etc) otherwise putfile will not see it. Secondly, you must be in the target folder on the iPhone. For example, if you want to upload a ringtone, you must run <i>cd Library/Ringtones</i> in the terminal before uploading a ringtone to the phone. If that doesn't make sense, just disregard it and continue :p .
<b>Step 7:</b> At the prompt, type -
<blockquote><i>cd System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/</i></blockquote>Hit return, then type -
<blockquote><i>rmdir Default_CARRIER_ATT.png</i></blockquote> This removes the black AT&T logo. Hit return, then type -
<blockquote><i>rmdir FSO_CARRIER_ATT.png</i></blockquote> and hit return. This removes the white AT&T logo.
Now that you've gotten rid of the default carrier logos, you'll want to upload your own. For the sake of this guide, I've prepared one for you already which says "iPhone". The two iPhone logos are inside of the CarrierLogo folder named iPhone_Default_CARRIER_ATT.png and iPhone_FSO_CARRIER_ATT.png
Copy both files into the tools folder and remove the iPhone_ prefix from them.
<b>Step 8:</b> Back in your terminal window, type -
<blockquote><i>putfile Default_CARRIER_ATT.png</i></blockquote> This adds the black iPhone logo. Hit return, then type -
<blockquote><i>putfile FSO_CARRIER_ATT.png</i></blockquote> and hit return. This adds the white iPhone logo.
<b>Step 9:</b> Assuming that you've still got the magical folder unzipped on your desktop, type the following into a new terminal window -
<blockquote><i>cd ~/Desktop/iPhone\ goodies/tools/</i></blockquote>Press return
<b>Step 10:</b> Type the following -
<blockquote><i>./iphoneinterface</i></blockquote>Hit return. You should now see the following:
<blockquote><i>Waiting for phone... established.
iPhone state: Activated
type "help" for help
iPhone:/#</i></blockquote>
<b>Step 11:</b> At the prompt, type -
<blockquote><i>cd System/Library/Lockdown</i></blockquote>Hit return, then type -
<blockquote><i>rmdir Services.plist</i></blockquote>and press return.
<b>Step 12:</b> Right now you're pretty naked as you've just removed the Services.plist from your iPhone. Don't worry, we have another in the tools folder ready to go.
To upload the new copy, type -
<blockquote><i>putfile Services.plist</i></blockquote>press return and type -
<blockquote><i>quit</i></blockquote>
hit return once more and you're done!
The purpose of Step 11 and 12 was to replace the Services.plist with the original version. Jailbreak modifies the Services.plist file on your phone so it can be written to. We need to replace it with the original version so iTunes can again write to the phone.
<b>Step 13:</b> Changes will not take effect until you restart your iPhone. Reboot your phone by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button until you see the silver Apple logo.
You're all done, enjoy!
