<span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><u>A guide written by Alidsl and Slyakin</u></span>
Transfer files to and from your iDevice

<img src="http://www.simonblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/iphone_openssh.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />

<span style="color:#FF0000"><b><u>Warning:</u></b>
Do not delete a file that you don't know about
</span>

If there is a theme you want to change of a deb file you want to install, this is what you want

<b><u>What is "SSH"?</u></b>

What SSHing your iphone/ipod touch is, is the ability to copy/move files to and from your device, in this Guide I will explain how to use it and how to install it. SSH stands for secure shell and can be use for remote access and executing commands to a computer (or iphone/ipod touch) miles away.

<span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><b><u>Installation</u></b></span>

<b><u>Windows</u></b>

There are a number of different SSH programs, personally I use WinSCP found <a href="http://winscp.net/eng/download.php" target="_blank">here</a>, installation is completely straightforward and all that is required to install is to run the file "winscp427setup.exe". When install is complete you can leave the program for now.

<b><u>Mac</u></b>

I don't own a mac but from what I have looked at a program named "cyberduck" is better than the already built in SSH client bundled with the mac OS, it can be found <a href="http://cyberduck.ch/" target="_blank">here</a>

<b><u>iPhone/iPod touch/iPad</u></b>
For both windows and mac users

<img src="http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5509/opne.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />

Search on Cydia "OpenSSH", the program with the above icon will show up, download and reboot your device

I recommend having SBsettings as well to turn SSH on and off.

<span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><b><u>How to use</u></b></span>

<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><b><u>Windows</u></b></span>

Run WinSCP. This screen will appear

<img src="http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/6389/winscploginguidepic.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />

To find your host name go to settings -> wi-fi tap on the network you are currently using and copy the IP address into the host name box.

<img src="http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/9869/ipscreen.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />

For the user-name and password boxes

<b>User-name</b>: root
<b>Password</b>: alpine

When you login you have succesfully SSHed your device <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
<img src="http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/84/winscploginguidepic2.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />

<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><b><u>Mac OS</u></b></span>

<span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%"><span style="color:#FF0000"><b><u>Important!!</span></u></b></span>

1. Download mobile terminal (Use the beta for 3.2+ FW), search it on Cydia
2. Type ‘login’ command (without quotes) and then press enter.
3. Now type ‘root’ (without quotes) as your login and ‘alpine’ as your current root password.
4. Once you have logged in as root, type ‘passwd’ command (without quotes) again and press enter.
5. It will now prompt you to enter a new password (twice). Simply enter your desired new password (for changing mobile password) and you should be all fine.

<span style="color:#FF0000"><b>This will only work for the iphone 3Gs (with new bootroom), ipod touch 3g and Ipad</b></span>
If you are getting an error that mentions arm7 then you are trying to install it on a older device.

<b>Current version:</b> 0.02

<b><u>There are two ways to install frash</u></b>

1. Add the repo-<a href="http://repo.benm.at/" target="_blank">http://repo.benm.at/</a>

<img src="http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/3322/benmrepo.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />

2. When you've added the source and all the updating is done open the source and install "frash"

<img src="http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/379/picture002.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />

3. Reboot

4. When the reboot is done you have flash on your device

This way should only be done if you are having problems with the first

1. Download the frash deb file from <a href="http://filetrip.net/f12871-frash-0-02.html" target="_blank">filetrip</a>
2. SSh your device (if you don't know how visit the guide <a href="http://gbatemp.net/t251700-openssh-guide" target="_blank">here</a>)
3. Go into "/var/root/Media" and create a folder called "Cydia", in that folder create another called "AutoInstall"
4. Place the deb file in the AutoInstall folder
5. Now reboot <span style="color:#FF0000">TWICE</span>
6. Flash sites will now work

<b>When frash is installed it's recommended to test through this site</b>

Readme (For iPod Touch 2g users (kleemajo or Jaywalkers repo):
iPod Touch 2G Users:

Please note, this software is extremely alpha and currently only makes the device reboot from C code. This is not a bug, it's a feature. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Also, for those interested in helping out, here's a TODO for what's remaining (for kleemajo and Jaywalkers repo only. A.K.A for the iPod Touch 2g porting project):

* Port GPIO driver
* Verify SPI and NOR work.. They're the same as the iphone2g, so they should.. but just verify it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
* Port LCD Driver (I'll probably have to do this one.. I have some good info already)
* Verify the DMA driver works (again.. it's the same as the iphone2g)
* Port the rest - at least we'll have the basic openiboot working by this point <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

</div>

An easy-peasy guide on how to install android with bootlace

<b>Requirements:</b>
<b>Device</b>
compatible devices
iPhone 3G
iPhone 2G
iPod Touch 1G

<b>IOS Software:</b>
Bootlace is currently compatible with
3.1.2 to 4.2.1

<b>Jailbreak</b>
the really Obvious bit, you need to have a jailbroken device so that you can have cydia to install Bootlace
OpeniBoot requires a compatible jailbreak; one that allows for unsigned NOR images to be run. Currently these include redsn0w, PwnageTool or Blackra1n.

<span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%">Installing Bootace</span>

Open up Cydia and add the following repository to your sources:

<a href="http://repo.neonkoala.co.uk" target="_blank">http://repo.neonkoala.co.uk</a>
<img src="http://www.idroidproject.org/w/images/Bootlace_Repo_Source.PNG" border="0" class="linked-image" />

Install the package named 'Bootlace'.

<b>Using Bootlace</b>
After closing Cydia it's as simple as opening up Bootlace, tapping the iDroid tab and then tapping install!
<img src="http://www.idroidproject.org/w/images/Bootlace_V2_iDroid.PNG" border="0" class="linked-image" />

The installation could take a while (depending on your connection speed)

After installation you can reboot your device and select iDroid in the OpeniBoot Menu using the volume. buttons (or power button if you are on iPod Touch 1G) and confirm with the home button.

Congratulations. You installed iDroid on your iOS Device.

<span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><u>A guide written by Alidsl</u></span></div>

Requirements:<ul><li>SHSH blobs saved for the target ispw using <a href="http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">the firmware umbrella</a> or on Cydia</li><li>The ispw for the firmware you want to downgrade to</li></ul>Before I start I want to clarify one thing, the difference between DFU (Definitely F***ed Up) mode and restore mode
Restore mode is probably what most people call DFU mode, but there's a difference
Restore mode has the "connect to itunes" picture but DFU mode looks as though the iDevice is off
(here's a cool pic I found to explain the difference (minus the writing))
<img src="http://iphoneindia.gyanin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/iphone-dfu-mode-screen1.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

Before you attempt to downgrade I recommend you sync with itunes and let it backup your device
I also recommend you read the entire guide before diving in

<span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><b><u>The itunes side</u></b></span>

If you have itunes open, close it

navigate to this file
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts</div>
Or for mac
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>\etc\hosts</div>
Open in notepad, if the file is on one line (and not clearly layed out) use <a href="http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/w/wordpad.htm" target="_blank">wordpad</a>

Edit the file and add this address at the end (Saurik's server)
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com</div>
and put a "hash" (#) before (to get SHSH from your computer)
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com</div>
so it becomes
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>#127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com</div>

my hosts file looks like this
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space

re;overflow:auto'># Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server

127.0.0.1 localhost
#127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com
74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
</div>
<b>Now make sure that the file is set to "Read-only"</b>

<span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><b><u>The Downgrade</u></b></span>

First. Make sure your device is ON and itunes is open

Make sure your device is plugged in (so you know when it has entered DFU)

Now hold down the Sleep and the home button for 10 seconds
after 10 seconds (NOT when the apple appears) let go of the sleep button and keep holding the home button

Please note that if you see the "connect to itunes" picture you've held down the sleep button for too long
If you see the itunes picture just try again

Now when you've entered DFU itunes should come up with this message
<img src="http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/imgcache/10141.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />
even though the iDevices screen is black

now on itunes go to your device and hold shift (option for mac) and click on restore

navigate to where you saved the ipsw you want and open it

itunes should restore the device to the firmware and all is well <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

and for the sake of this guide let's say your theme is called "theme"
All of the pictures are case sensetive

<span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><b><u>Icons</u></b></span>

<img src="http://www.kocosports.com/speaker_icon.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

Under the \theme\ folder make a folder called "icons" (\theme\icons)

1. Start your icon on a 60x60 canvas (you can change the size of an icon but the stock icons are 60x60
2. Make the icon (no real colour requirements)
3. Save the icon into the /theme/icons/ with the EXACT name of the app (eg. for "iPod" the icon would be "iPod.png, this is case sensetive)
4. Make more icons

<b><u>The "proper" way</u></b>
For a HD/Retina icon

1. Make your 114x114 (With rounded corners)
2. Create a folder under \theme\ called "bundles" (\theme\bundles\)
3. Now in \bundles\ create a folder that corresponds to the app
To find out what you need to call this folder visit this google spreadsheet <a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AnwqZYJrC7psdGt1WE5WMlE4ZU9pVG9hcGJXVVpzRlE&hl=en#gid=0" target="_blank">"icon"</a>
4. Now save the icon under you \theme\bundles\XXXXX\ folder
To find the name of the icon from the same spreadsheet as above (<a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AnwqZYJrC7psdGt1WE5WMlE4ZU9pVG9hcGJXVVpzRlE&hl=en#gid=0" target="_blank">icon</a>)
5. This applies to 3rd party (unofficial apps) aswell

<span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><b><u>Wallpaper, lockscreen and dock</u></b></span>

<img src="http://superfluousbanter.org/p/blog/iphone-touch-dock.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

<b><u>Wallpaper/Lockscreen</u></b>
1. Create a new image that is 320x480
2. Make the image
3. Save it into the \theme\ folder as "Wallpaper.png" or for the lockscreen save in the same place as "LockBackground.jpg"

<b><u>Dock</u></b>
1. Create an image that is 320x91
2. Make a dock (Transparacy DOES work)
3. Save it into \theme\ as Dock.png

Want to get rid of dock icon shadows?
Create a new folder in \theme\ called "bundles" under \theme\bundles\ create another folder called "com.apple.springboard"

Just create a transparent 60x60 icon and save it to the new \com.apple.springboard\ folder and name it "[email protected]"
Copy the file twice and name one "[email protected]" and the other "[email protected]" all in the com.apple.springboard folder

<span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><b><u>Sliders</u></b></span>

<img src="http://www.2dayblog.com/images/2009/may/slidetounlock2.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

in \theme\bundles\ create a new folder called "com.apple.TelephonyUI"

1. Create a 79x96 icon (Should be transparent but you can change it to see a different look, this is not the actual slider)
2. Save this as "[email protected]" into the "com.apple.TelephonyUI" folder
3. copy this file twice and rename the copies to "[email protected]" and "[email protected]"

4. Delete all the files inside and paste the world of goo files into the *.app folder.

5. Now from the original World of Goo ipa files you should be left with two files (iTunesartwork and the metadata)

6. These should be copied straight into the folder containing you free app (overwriting it's iTunesartwork and metadata)

I'm confused. This guide is not susposed to replace Dialexio and I's guide. Correct?

I read it and am still confused.

Sorry

alidsl · Sep 14, 2010

No it's everything but jailbreaking

metamaster · Sep 14, 2010

Don't you need to change the host file or something for a downgrade to work?

alidsl · Sep 14, 2010

Thanks I knew I missed something I'll update tomorrow (on my iPod) but for now I'll strikethrough it

Ok I've edited downgrading, I'm searching for a mac guide now

metamaster · Sep 18, 2010

In your hosts file, you put a hash before #127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com. That address gets the shsh blobs from your computer (which you had to cache before). The 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com gets them from Cydia's server. You can mention that in the guide. I also downgraded yesterday (not using this guide lol) and I saved the log:

By the way, Mac instructions for the hosts file are nearly the same... just two things are different. The hosts file is at /etc/hosts (and will most likely require admin or root privileges). To manually select an IPSW, you use the is Option key instead of Shift. Everything else is the same.

Great job with the guide!

metamaster · Sep 20, 2010

Oh shit, I was in a hurry and I didn't notice. Thanks.
By the way, thanks for not quoting my UUID and my serial number lol

Dialexio · Sep 20, 2010

I took another look at the guide, and noticed a few things about Frash's compatibility. It is compatible with the iPhone 4, and should work on iPhone 3GS units with the old bootrom...

remember it's incomplete

also, I haven't be procrastinating, I've been "managing my time"

alidsl · Oct 13, 2010

Small Minor updates to all of them, Theme guide complete (eventually)

Can someone suggest a new guide please

metamaster · Oct 13, 2010

Can you add specific sizes for icons, backgrounds, etc for the iPad or retina display?
You can also add a guide on how to back up Cydia apps with APTbackup
By the way, great guide , keep it up

alidsl · Oct 13, 2010

I have the size for icons don't I?

metamaster · Oct 13, 2010

I'm almost sure that Ipad and Retina icons have a higher resolution then 60x60.
