Your next question, when you place the command codes and added your first song to your iPhone simply press up or down arrow (on commmand prompt) and it should copy the command code for you just change the .m4a to another ringtone you have. Thats it. Hope this helps!

Sent you a PM!

The Hack totally works. However, I ran into a problem. I lost all of my contacts on the phone. ALL OF THEM. For some reason the phone kept the numbers I had stored in my favorites but erased all the names. I tried putting some numbers back in the phone and it would not save them. Also, when I received a call and did not answer, it would not let me go into the recent calls either. Every time I pressed the recents button, the phone went back to the home screen. Please be careful before performing this one on your phone.

Slide the red slider and let the phone shut down. Take iPhone off dock. Plug the dock cable back in.
If the iPhone doesn't turn on by itself, press and release the power button
When the Apple logo appears, press and hold both the Power and Home buttons.

The phone will power off (keep holding the buttons!) and restart.
Soon it will display a yellow triangle and the message "Connect to iTunes


At this point Jailbreak will begin performing mysterious operations on your phone. Wait for it to complete and don't touch anything. You should receive this message at the end:
Enjoy your newfound freedom. Thank the devs at #iphone next time you see them for making this all possible.
p.s. Like most other useful tools, this one may be dangerous if used carelessly. Always remember -- You brick it, you bought it.

Uploading the ringtone to the iPhone(Here's where you start if you've already done the whole process but want to add another ringtone later on)
Go to the File in which all your others are in mine would be IPHONEMOD and open the file iPHONEINTERFACE.exe



It will say WAITING FOR iPHONE
Enter these commands, which will create the Ringtone directory (if not already present) and set it as the upload directory:
mkdir /var/root/Library/Ringtones
cd /var/root/Library/Ringtones

*NOTE* THE PIC BELOW IS INCORRECT. IT NEEDS TO BE CAPITAL "L" IN Library and CAPITAL "R" in Ringtones*

*NOTE* THE PIC Above IS INCORRECT. IT NEEDS TO BE CAPITAL "L" IN Library and CAPITAL "R" in Ringtones*

For each ringtone you want to upload: Type
putfile /var/root/Library/Ringtones/xxxxxx.m4a

Where xxxxxx is the name of your m4a found in your directory. Mine would be IPHONEMOD.

YOUR DONE! High Five! Now all you need to do is power off the iPhone and Turn it back on. Something which was not clarified in the Text Tutorial.

There may be some misunderstanding about the command prompt.

Heyy, can someone explain this last part to me? The part where it says take the phone of the dock? Put the cable back in the dock. I'm afraid to do this part because I don't understand it. Can someone explain this to me?

All I did was unplug the USB cable from the computer and plugged it back in. Everything worked fine for me and is still working fine. No problems at all.

I did it on my first go!!!! Very asy... Now i have a question how can i adopt this to changing icons slider sms bubbles etc.....

[Arezlee]

When jailbreak gives me the message "waiting for iPhone to finish booting".... it sits for about 2 minutes then quickly disappears and the iphone boots back up normally. Am I doin somethin wrong?

Nevermind, it was just skipping past that part. Thanks =)

[spideybry]

ok i am not sure if this was mentioned in this thread, but do you need the 1.0 software to do this, cause I tried and its not working for me.... i get running jailbreak, sending files, and it stays there forever

[B20KidDa9]

uh oh. i tried to download the update.. it wouldnt let me. saything something was corrupted or something. so im like wtf. now i get this please connect to itunes on my phone it says i got to download a 91.2mb software update and restore my iphone. what did i do wrong here??? please help

[Decibel9M3]

This guide worked fine with the 1.0 software. But since the update, jailbreak gets to the;

"Sending More Files..."
"Booting iPhone..."

and it stops there.

I read a few pages back and noticed a few others with the same issue. Is there any work around to this? Am I doing something wrong?

I want my Ringtones back.
