Customizing your iPhone with a PowerPC Mac (So easy, I can do it..)

[heart attacked]

So today, with the help of a lot of people on this board, I was able to easily install ringtones, games, etc. without using iFunstastic, on my PowerPC Mac, and with using very minimal Terminal commands (which I was dreading).

Step 1.

Download Installer.app from:

http://iphone.nullriver.com/beta/

Step 2.

Follow the Installer.app installation instructions below:

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/piece-of-cake/how-to-install-apps-on-your-iphone-easily-no-hacking-skills-required-291184.php

With Installer.app alone you can install games, more programs, etc. =] But for ringtones and ROMs for games continue on..

Step 3.

Using Installer.app install the following Applications to your iPhone:

Launcher
OpenSSH
BSD Subsystem
Mobile Finder

Step 4.

Download CyberDuck FTP for free at the following link:

http://cyberduck.ch/

Step 5.

Get your iPhone's IP address, go to:

Settings > Wi-Fi

Click the little Blue Arrow next to your wireless access point (default, linksys, etc.)

(Thanks to liquidrums for this info. =])

Step 6.

Connect your iPhone to your computer with the USB Cable.

Open up CyberDuck FTP, and go to Open Connection.

In the Protocol drop down menu, set it to SFTP (SSH Secure File Transfer)

For IP, type in your phones IP Address.

For your username / pass use the following:

username: root
password: dottie

Now press connect, and let it connect to your iPhone.

Step 7.

To install ringtones, go to the home directory by using the dropdown menu right below the Quick Connect bar. From there, go to:

Library > Ringtones

Now, just drag and drop your .mp3 or .m4a ringtones in there. =]

Step 8.

To install ROMs, you must create the following chain:

/var/root/Media/ROMs/NES

/var/root/Media is already there, you just need to create the /ROMS/NES portion. Just create new folders using CyberDuck FTP. Once you create those, just drop the ROMs in the NES folder, and restart your iPhone for good measure and you're done!

It's really simple, a lot more simple that doing everything in Terminal (in my opinion). Plus, you can just drag and drop.

This is for the people who want ringtones but don't have an Intel Mac to run iFuntastic (yet).

I'm sorry if this tutorial has already been posted, I haven't seen it and it was really useful to me so I thought i'd share. =] If there are any corrections let me know.

Peace!

Alright... I did everything as you said above to get this to work. However, I don't know that I have the right IP address. It refused my IP address. On my wireless network, my IP address is static, not DHCP. I do not have DHCP turned on and use all static IP addresses for other reasons.

I typed in my static IP address into CyberDuck and it won't connect. Any thoughts on issue?

I think I know why.. I did this little tutorial at 4:30 AM and left out a small detail..

When in CyberDuck FTP, in the Open Connection window, from the Protocol drop down menu, choose SFTP (SSH Secure File Transfer).

If that doesn't do it, let me know. =]

Peace!

In Cyberduck

I get and I/O error: Connection Failed.
sftp://root@10.0.2.2:22
There was an error in connection to 10.0.2.2:22


any ideas?

[Unregistered]

When i connect 2 the iphone it says the host is currently unknown to the system the host fingerprint is bla bla. It gives me the option of allowing it to connect so i do,after that it says I/O Error: connection failed
sftp://root@ my ip:22
unexpected end of sftp stream


what am i doing wrong

[heart attacked]

Well i'm not too sure, but it might be because something is not installed on your phone. Everything I have on my phone, installed with Installer.app, are:

Community Sources
BSD Subsytem
Installer
Launcher
Open SSH
Mobile Finder

I don't think you need Mobile Finder, or BSD Subsystem, to use the SFTP, but hey you just might. Try to install those, then run the SFTP. Also, make sure you're typing in the password.

Also, close out of iTunes or iPhone. That might be giving it trouble during the SFTP process.

Peace.

You do need the BSD SubSystem in order to SFTP to the phone.

Ok so i have connected and i loaded it the 0434 - New Super Mario Bros. (U)(pSyDS).nds file that i have and loaded it into private/var/root/media/ROMs/NES
but when i launch my nes emulator it doesn't show any game files it says that my game genie codes are empty

Needs to be a .nes file extension for the emulator to run it I believe.

I'm glad you were able to get stuff on there. Sucks about the software update. I'm kind of bummed that I have to go home and restore my phone. =\

Peace.

[Hans]

all my roms were .nes
not sure if that will make a dif for the emulator
but you should make sure you reset the phone before you try the roms
i had to before they would show up

[Eddie]

I have followed step-by-step instuctions and it is still not allowing me to get in. WTF?

[Eddie]

Why doesn't this work? After a full restore I've gone through every process of this tutorial, which is great, but CyberDuck and Fugu are not letting me in.

Everything I have done is spot on. Any thoughts?

[heart attacked]

Hmm.. I really don't know man. I just did a full restore, installed 1.0.2, and then did the entire process again and got everything to work perfectly.

The biggest thing with cyberduck is that it needs to be on SFTP. And the phone NEEDS the SSH application installed. Make sure your ip is correct, along with the following settings, and get back to me.

Peace!

[Hans]

I had to do a restore after playing around with install.app and then using ifuntastic, but i havent had any problems since
are you at least getting the unjailing process to work?

[Eddie]

For any of you who have had trouble getting SSH to run via CyberDuck or Fugu, I think I may have found that solution.

Basically, I simply updated my Airport's firmware to the most current and made sure it was visible in the Airport Utility. For some reason, you can connect to it, but it falls off the utility radar.

Thanks Heart Attack for the help and suggestions — I'm now rocking out to Double Dragon and Contra.

Now, if you can figure out a nice tutorial in Erica's Utilty Apps, that's be awesome. No where can I find any usage documentation for the Screenshot utility.

[Unregistered]

This is awesome! Many thanks. This will work great for now!!!!!

You may need to SSH in using terminal first. The reason seems to be that you need to accept the iPhone's security cert. SSH using terminal by typing

ssh -l root iphones.ip.address

That's an L, by the way

[Unregistered]

do you have to create a ringtones folder? in my library folder im not seeing a ringtones folder???

[Unregistered]

Your looking in the wrong library folder.

/Library/Ringtones

I bet you are in:

System/Library/

[nsw]

This works great!

I even updated my icons with the cyberduck method. It takes a few minutes more to go into each directory and upload the icons, but the results are worth it!

[Unregistered]

It worked perfectly! updated ringtones, icons, background, etc...

Where do u get the ROMS from?

[Unregistered]

Well you have to find them <cough>poisoned<cough>.

I actually like this method versus iFuntastic. Its just tricky finding certain directories :)

Like anyone know where the bottom spring board background is stored?

[Hans]

theoldcomputer.com has a good number of roms or just google free nes roms

[Unregistered]

Heart attacked — in step 3 of your "Customizing your iPhone" instructions you say to install the following apps:

Launcher
OpenSSH
BSD Subsystem
Mobile Finder

Forgive my ignorance if this is obvious, but where do I find these apps?

Thanks for figuring this customization out for us PPC users!

[Hans]

theyre part of install.app
once you get that on your phone, update it and install those programs

[Pepper]

Just so everyone knows, you don't have to worry about any command line stuff as the dev's made a little application to do the jailbreak process for you.

[Unregistered]

I keep getting the error:
The protocol version of the remote computer is not supported!

Hmmm!

[akoaphone]

Now, for the sound? Tried the "DOT profile" method, involving using the Terminal app within the iPhone but no success. What worked for you?

[Unregistered]

I had the same issue. Check the file permissions, i think 755 or 655 had to be set. Thet just need to match what permissions are already set in the directory.

[iPodAddict]

Now, for the sound? Tried the "DOT profile" method, involving using the Terminal app within the iPhone but no success. What worked for you?
I wasn't able to get sound from NES.app, and I don't think that anyone else can either. I think we'll just have to wait.

[Pepper]

I wasn't able to get sound from NES.app, and I don't think that anyone else can either. I think we'll just have to wait.


Thats exactly what i was thinking. I really don't care about the sound to much anyways. And for anyone who is interested, here is a couple sites for getting some NES Roms..

Rom-World (http://www.rom-world.com/index.php)

and

The old Computer - Nintendo Roms (http://www.theoldcomputer.com/Libarary's/Emulation/NES/ROMs/NES_roms_summary.htm)

[Unregistered]

My sound has worked fine from day 1 using the NES emulator. Again, check teh file permissions of BOTH files you upload. I don't care to have to switch system sounds on and off, buts its easy.

[Unregistered]

how do i make the folder private/var/root/media/ROMs/NES so i can put my games onto my iphone?

Thanks!

[Unregistered]

i put the .nes file in private/var/root/Media/Roms/Nes but it still wont show up on my Nes app

what am i doing wrong?

[Unregistered]

i meant /private/var/root/Media/ROMs/NES

sorry!

Anyone figure out how to change the SMS sounds with this?

I only see sms.db but not sure how to edit it if that even is the correct file.

[Hans]

besides restarting your phone, couldn't tell you what else to do

[Pepper]

Anyone figure out how to change the SMS sounds with this?

I only see sms.db but not sure how to edit it if that even is the correct file.


that would be cool. What does it do now when you get an sms (never really paid attention), just vibrates?

[Spoon]

It makes the iChat sounds.

You can find all that stuff in /System/Library/Audio/UISounds

AFAIK sms-received.caf is the sound it plays when you're not in the SMS app and you get a message. SentMessage.caf is sent and ReceivedMessage.caf is when you get a message in the SMS app

[Unregistered]

great it works, how do i change the icons and logos? where i can download an icon pack at to change them, what folders are they located in?

[BillyMayes]

I don't think there's a pack anywhere, but iFuntastic is great

http://www.iphonealley.com/news/ifuntastic-v3-released-you-now-have-permission-to-go-nuts

[Pepper]

I don't think there's a pack anywhere, but iFuntastic is great

http://www.iphonealley.com/news/ifuntastic-v3-released-you-now-have-permission-to-go-nuts

That and I am going to be creating some icon packs for iPhone alley users;)

[Unregistered]

Since Finder and Launcher are required, is there a way where I can hide both icons? or any icons for that matter.

[Spoon]

You'd need to have four blank icons and place those above all the others. Try iFuntastic, that' might help

[witeout73]

Hi guys, I'm stuck at the Cyberduck Part. I have my ip address from my phone yet when I go to input the information into cyberduck, I'm unsure as to put the ip address. I figured I should put it in the server space but when I put it in the url turns out looking like this "Ftp://root@iphone.ip.port number" I can't find the port number on my iphone nor did I know I needed one. ANy help?

[unity]

Yes you put just the IP in the "server" field.

sftp://root@10.0.1.3:22 is an example that will display for URL.... password is "dottie" by default.

Make sure you are using SFTP/SSH as the protocol.

[Hans]

has using cyberduck stopped working now? i had done this several times before but now i cant get it to work
i keep getting the connection refused error

[iPodAddict]

Not sure what did it, but I had the same problem. To fix it, uninstall OpenSSH and reinstall it using Installer.app

You may need to log in with SSH in the terminal and/or remove the known_hosts file in ~/.ssh/

[Unregistered]

you should probably change the root password

[madmax]

My main problem was that my wifi connection on my iphone kept failing. So as long as I keep an eye on that, everything you said worked! Now I have tons of NES games and some killer ringtones.

[WhoGotSomO]

Hi All,

I was able to add ROMs to my iPhone after unlocking via the TIFF solution.

htt://jailbreakme.com

Next i downloaded Mobile Finder, BSD Subsystem, and iShare. I uploaded the ROM via iShare and downloaded it into a directory i created with MobileFinder.

Just create new folder until your dir looks like this:
var/root/media/ROMs/NES/

Then just download the ROMs into that directory.

Thanks,
Michael

I'm having trouble with adding ringtones using this hack. I can use the ftp client to connect to the iphone's directory, but when ever I add a ring tone to the library/ringtones folder, it shows up, but won't play when selected. I made the ringtone using Audacity to cut a 30 second clip from an mp3. When I put the mp3 in the folder, it doesn't show up at all, when I convert it to an m4r, it shows up, but doesn't play.

I've been able to use the hack to add NES roms, I just can't get the ringtones working.

Step 3.

Using Installer.app install the following Applications to your iPhone:

Launcher
OpenSSH
BSD Subsystem
Mobile Finder

Step 4.

Download CyberDuck FTP for free at the following link:

http://cyberduck.ch/

Step 5.

Get your iPhone's IP address, go to:

Settings > Wi-Fi

Click the little Blue Arrow next to your wireless access point (default, linksys, etc.)

(Thanks to liquidrums for this info. =])

Step 6.

Connect your iPhone to your computer with the USB Cable.

Open up CyberDuck FTP, and go to Open Connection.

In the Protocol drop down menu, set it to SFTP (SSH Secure File Transfer)

For IP, type in your phones IP Address.

For your username / pass use the following:

username: root
password: dottie

Now press connect, and let it connect to your iPhone.

Step 7.

To install ringtones, go to the home directory by using the dropdown menu right below the Quick Connect bar. From there, go to:

Library > Ringtones

Now, just drag and drop your .mp3 or .m4a ringtones in there. =]

Step 8.

To install ROMs, you must create the following chain:

/var/root/Media/ROMs/NES

/var/root/Media is already there, you just need to create the /ROMS/NES portion. Just create new folders using CyberDuck FTP. Once you create those, just drop the ROMs in the NES folder, and restart your iPhone for good measure and you're done!

It's really simple, a lot more simple that doing everything in Terminal (in my opinion). Plus, you can just drag and drop.

This is for the people who want ringtones but don't have an Intel Mac to run iFuntastic (yet).

I'm sorry if this tutorial has already been posted, I haven't seen it and it was really useful to me so I thought i'd share. =] If there are any corrections let me know.

Peace!


can this be used for firmare 1.1.4

[heart attacked]

Ha, I wrote this tutorial before they released 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, and 1.1.4.

The passwords have changed through all of them I believe, what they are, I do not know. I haven't installed ROMs or anything since I wrote this tutorial. I'm sure with a quick Google search any information on how to do this could be accessed.

Sorry dudes, but I do not know!

Peace.
