The First 10 Steps to Modding the iPhone
Warning
There are some things you should know before you perform anything on this site. There is obviously some risk involved here, but everyone I know of has been able to restore their iPhone by using iTunes. I’ve heard no report of anyone damaging their iPhone by modding it.
- This site is not for those uncomfortable around computers, and especially the command line or Terminal. If you aren’t sure about something on here, then I recommend stopping what you are doing and hooking up your iPhone to iTunes and signing up for a contract with AT&T.
- You risk voiding your warranty.
- Any modifications you perform on your iPhone, including bypassing activation, will be reset if you should install a firmware update provided by Apple. It’s a matter of redoing everything you previously did to get your iPhone back the way you had it once you update.
- Read the instructions in their entirety. Do not read into the instructions, follow only what is there. If you can’t follow directions, you may may damage your phone requiring a replacement from Apple.
- I am not responsible for your results if they are less than what you expected. You assume all risks. I recommend seeking help in iPhone hacking forums or in the irc room. Check my links page to find them.
- If you have not activated your iPhone via AT&T, then you will lose the ability to use your YouTube icon following the instructions on this site. This ability may be restored by the hacker community, or if you should decide to restore your phone via iTunes and sign up for a service contract with AT&T.
- If you have not activated your iPhone via AT&T, then you will not have visual voicemail or YouTube access unless there is another iPhone that is properly activated via AT&T in your family plan.
- If you have not activated your iPhone via AT&T, I have noticed Yahoo mail does not work with the iPhone in a modded state. This may apply to all other mail access like Gmail .mac, AOL et cetera.
The reason I made this page is because sometimes instructions get pretty lengthy and they don’t need to be. When I posted my first tutorial on here there were, and still are, 10 steps that must be performed before you can perform your first mod on the iPhone, at least according to the way I write.
Every time I wrote a tutorial about a new mod, I always started it off by repeating those 10 steps. In an effort to keep the page length down, and the reader happy, I’ve decided to not post those introductory steps on future tutorials. Once you perform these 10 steps, you won’t have to again. So if you should happen to read any tutorials of mine and are surprised when they start off at step 11 instead of 1, you’ll know why. I’ll provide a link to this page from the tutorial.
So here they are, “The 10 Steps”
Step 1.
Make sure your iPhone is docked and charged.
Step 2.
From iTunes, make sure you have a backup of your phone and all settings (if you want to keep them). Simply connect the iPhone to your computer and iTunes will sync your iPhone. Automatically backed-up information includes text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, certain network settings, and other preferences.
Step 3.
Press CTRL ALT DEL which will open up the Windows Task Manager. Click on the “Processes” tab and ensure both iTunes.exe and iTunesHelper.exe are not running. If they are, then highlight their names one at a time and click the “End Process” button.
Just click Yes at the pop up warning.
Step 4.
Make sure the iPhone is on.
Step 5.
Create a folder called phonedmg at your root (C:\) level. Click the “Start” button then click “Run…”.
Type: cmd and click the “OK” button.
You are now using what Windows calls the command shell. Type: cd\ then press enter/return. You should see the C:\> prompt.
Type: mkdir phonedmg then press enter/return.
Step 6.
Download the software restore file from Apple. Click here. Once the file is downloaded, most browsers may automatically decompress the file and leave a folder called iPhone1,1_1 on your desktop. If your browser did not do this, and you have an .ipsw file instead, then rename the extension to .zip and decompress it yourself.
To rename the file you can just click on the file once, and then once again (do this slowly) and the name of the file will become editable showing you its full name.
If the file does not end in “.ipsw”, you’ll have to turn on file extension display by going to the Tools menu -> Folder Options -> View tab -> and then uncheck the box for “Hide extensions for known file types” then click the “Apply” button.
Right-click the iPhone update file and choose “Rename”. Give it the “.zip” extension and press enter, and confirm that you want to change the extension.
Click “Yes” at the pop up warning screen.
Now double-click the file to open its contents. Extract the contents to the phonedmg folder.
Step 7.
Place the software restore files you downloaded from Apple (the iPhone1,1_1 folder) into the phonedmg folder. Do not place the whole folder in here, just what’s in the folder.
Step 8.
Download the “Jailbreak” program here. Put this file into the phonedmg folder.
Step 9.
Download the iPhoneInterface (v 0.3.3) program here. Put this file into the phonedmg folder.
Step 10.
Download the iTunesMobileDevice.dll from here. Put this file into the phonedmg folder. You have now completed all the initial preparatory steps needed to mod the iPhone. You will never have to repeat these steps, provided you do not delete anything in the phonedmg folder.
