Custom Ringtones without Jailbreaking WORKS with the new 1.1.2 Firmware Update!!!

[CarbonFly]

This has been tested and proven over at Macrumors.

1. Create a ringtone as mp3 (less than 30 seconds long).
2. Import into iTunes.
3. Convert to ACC.
4. Rename extension to m4r.
5. Drag the file into the ringtones folder.

You can then sync your custom ringtone with your iPhone. It works like a charm.

Have fun guys and gals! I'm so glad that I can finally use CTU as my ringtone.

Edit: I have a bunch of new custom ringtones now.

Doesnt work for me on 1.1.2 and iTunes 7.5. Where do you rename it and also, do you drag and drop it from within iTunes?

I'm still restoring my itunes library right now, so I'm not sure if it will actually transfer, but I imported all my mp3 ringtones I made for my old phone (under 30 seconds) into Itunes, set the import options to AAC... converted those files to AAC... right clicked the new AAC's and selected "Show in Windows Explorer" (or OSX equivalent), renamed to .m4r ... then I dragged from that folder back to the Itunes ringtone folder. It appeared to work fine on that end... we'll see if it works on the phone in about 20 minutes!

Again... very exciting news and well worth the update

This is the same process as it was with 7.4.2

Any chance you can post an mp3 of the CTU ringtone??? or point me in the right direction....I'd like it for when they finally crack text message notification sounds

They're referring to the very distinctive telephone ring sound used in the offices of LA's Counter Terrorist Unit on the TV show 24.
