"How to Hack your iPhone: (on a Mac running Leopard with iTunes 8 installed) Hacking your iPhone allows to you run apps from Installer.app and Cydia, as well as cracked AppStore apps (IPA files). It's very easy to do, here is an overview: 1. Upgrade your iPhone's Firmware to 2.1 2. Run Pwnagetool with your iPhone plugged in to create a Custom Firmware 3. Restore the Custom Firmware to your iPhone 4. Setup the IPA hack (requires Wifi connection) Software Links: You'll need PwnageTool for Mac, the bl39 and bl46 bin files, the appropriate 2.1 firmware for your iPhone model, and Cyberduck. Just go ahead and save them in the same folder on your desktop. Make sure your Mac is running Leopard and has iTunes 8 installed as well. Here are the links: Pwnage Tool for Mac: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/49988701/pwnagetool-and-quickpwn-for-2-1firmware bl39.bin and bl46.bin files: http://www.iphone-hacks.com/downloads/category/3 iPhone Firmware 2.1 for 1st-Gen "EDGE" model: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/ 061-5202.20080909.gkbEj/iPhone1,1_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw iPhone Firmware 2.1 for 2nd-Gen "3G" model: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/ 061-5198.20080909.K3294/iPhone1,2_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw Cyberduck: http://cyberduck.ch/ How to Jailbreak: First, upgrade your iPhone's Firmware to 2.1. You can do this by Alt-Clicking the Restore Firmware button in iTunes and selecting the appropriate firmware for your iPhone mode (1st-Gen "EDGE" or 2nd-Gen "3G" model).
Next, run Pwnagetool with your iPhone plugged into your computer. Select your iPhone model, find the BIN files in the BIN folder (it should do this automatically), select your iPhone's firmware (just click on the one in the Pwnagetool window), and let it get to work - just follow the instructions. It will take a few minutes to extract the firmware and customize it; when it is done it will let you know. There will be a customized firmware on your desktop upon completion. Now you have to install the custom firmware to your iPhone. Open iTunes and AltClick the Restore Firmware button in iTunes, but select the customized firmware on the desktop this time. After rebooting, you will see Installer.app and Cydia on your iPhone screen. Run all of the updates required for both apps and then download Community Sources (use the Search feature) to get an updated list of free apps. IPA Hack: Now you have to setup the IPA hack so that you can run cracked AppStore apps. This is easy, but since I have to write out the steps it looks a bit complicated. First, install OpenSSH from Cydia (use the Search feature again) and reboot your iPhone. Next, find your iPhone's IP address (Settings > Wifi > "Network Name" > IP Address) and jot it down somewhere. Before going on, we are going to setup the iPhone to "Never Lock" temporarily so that it won't fall asleep on us while we're digging around inside the files (Settings > General > Auto-Lock > Never). So now your iPhone is awake and has OpenSSH running so that we can modify a file inside the iPhone. Open Cyberduck, go to File > Open Connection, and type in the following: Protocol: SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) Server: 192.168.1.106 (or whatever your IP address is) Username: root Password: alpine When you connect with these settings, it will ask you what to do regarding the "Unknown host key". Just click "Always" to always allow it to connect. You may have to try connecting multiple times to get it to work. The default login actually takes you the "/private/var/root" folder, but we want to be in the "/" root folder, so go ahead and select the root folder from the drop-down location menu in Cyberduck. Next navigate to the "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ MobileInstallation.framework". Note that "MobileInstallation.framework" is a folder, not a file, so double-click to go inside of it. Find the file named "MobileInstallation" and rename it to "MobileInstallation.bak". Copy the "MobileInstallation" file from this software kit into the folder to replace the one you just renamed. Next, change the permission of this file to "775" by rightclicking on it and selecting "Info". Make sure it's "775", not "755" and not "777". On your iPhone, go back into Auto-Lock and reset it to 1-minute or whatever your
default was, then reboot your iPhone. Next, install a free app from the AppStore - anything will do. This is required to setup the IPA system initially; you can delete it later if you don't want to keep it. Sync your iPhone to your Mac and then reboot your iPhone again. Now everything is setup and ready for use. To install a cracked IPA file, simply double-click it and it will automatically be added to your iTunes Application Library. From there you can sync the app to your iPhone like normal. Restore Stock Firmware: If you want to restore your iPhone to the stock firmware, simply use the Restore Firmware button in iTunes to restore the stock 2.1 Firmware for your iPhone model. This will erase all of the work you did, but will make your phone stock again.
