Folks at Gizmodo have published a video guide to install native applications on the iPhone based on Trunkz’s guide in Hackint0sh.
So if you are new to the iPhone hacking world and are looking to customize your iPhone by installing native applications then you will find the guide quite useful as it teaches you how to easily install the apps and bypass activation.
We have already seen step-by-step instructions to downgrade iPhone firmware from v1.1.2 to v1.1.1 as well as TouchFree – GUI based tool to jailBreak iPhone firmware v1.1.2.
However, these methods were not so technically inclined, folks at Gizmodo are trying to make the process that much more easier by publishing a video guide to install native applications on the iPhone based on Trunkz’s guide in Hackint0sh.
Some of the notes and warning provided by them are as mentioned below:
- Although it works great and is an easy procedure, do it all at your own risk.
- This process will NOT UNLOCK your iPhone. Only use it if you have a valid AT&T contract in the US or a T-Mobile, O2 or Orange contract in Germany, England or France.
- If you have an iPhone with 1.1.1, you don’t really need to upgrade to 1.1.2 at all, so you may save yourself the process and keep using 1.1.1 and enjoying your apps.
- Did I say RUN AT YOUR OWN RISK? OK.
- Since we don’t have chapters in our videos, you will have to pause the steps by hand.
In order to follow the video guide you will need to ensure that you have the downloaded the necessary software such as:
- INdependence v1.3 beta 2 if you have a Mac or iBrickr if you have a PC.
- 1.1.2 Jailbreak
- If you have iTunes 7.5, you must download the Mobile component of iTunes 7.4.x (read the iNdependence Readme file for the download location and follow the simple instructions there).
- Apple Firmware 1.1.1
If you are ready, then here is the link to the video guide at Gizmodo.
