These instructions are deprecated - it's much easier to download iBrickr and just use the Ringtones interface.

I worked my eyes bloody today crawling through disassembly to help ziel port his Jailbreak program to Windows, and today we can announce that we have succeeded! All the iPhone users running Windows can now put custom ringtones and sounds onto their iPhones.

IMPORTANT NEWS: The iPhone software update 1.0.1 makes these instructions invalid. You STILL need to acquire the old 1.0.0 software package for Jailbreak to still work. Apple will surely have stopped distributing the package by now so I will see what I can do to get Jailbreak working on the new package. Watch for updates!

If you have a Mac, check out the Mac instructions over at Hack the iPhone.

These instructions work...

Instructions for tethering your iPhone 3G or iPhone with 2.0 firmware are here

Recent developments have allowed iPhone hackers to compile background applications for the iPhone - among the most interesting so far is srelay, a SOCKS proxy server.

srelay running on your iPhone opens up a very exciting possibility - you can use your iPhone's EDGE connection with a laptop or other Wifi-enabled device.

A note of caution: Accessing your EDGE data plan through a laptop may be against your AT&T terms of service. Even modifying your iPhone to enable this service may be a violation. Please check before attempting this procedure.

Currently these instructions only work for Windows - as I don't have a Mac I can't really test anything on that side. I was hoping a...

Hey everyone - I just released the first version of iBrickr, a Windows app that makes iPhone modding easy. Just download it, run it, and plug in your iPhone and it will guide you through the steps, doing most of the work for you.

iPhones modified this way do not need to be "unjailbroken" to work with iTunes - your iPhone will always appear the same to iTunes as it ever did.

Right now ringtone management is the star feature, with application management via PXL being less useful because PXL packages are at the moment hard to come by.

It has an in-built error reporting architecture (you get to review everything that gets sent my way though), so if something goes wrong I can help you out with it and get back to you via e-mail.

So check it out, and let me know what you think.

Hey guys,

This won't mean jack squat to most of you but I've managed (with the help of the iPod Touch dev team) to boot the iPhone in restore verbose mode which will hopefully give us some insight into what we can do to crack the new firmware.

I trained my trusty Canon XH A1 HD videocamera at it with a high shutter speed to make sense of the quickly passing images. Check out the video and stills below.

I'll go through and translate it by hand to make things clearer.
