Create custom iPhone ringtones

How to create custom ringtones for your iPhone

Follow these steps you can create ringtones for your iPhone for free.

1.  Check your iTunes setting by clicking menu iTunes --> Preferences --> General --> Importing setting.  Make sure the "Import Using" is set to "AAC Encoder".

2.  Select the song in iTunes, control + click (or right click) the song and select "Get Info".  Select "Option" tab, then input the "Start time" and "Stop time", and check both checkboxes.  "Start time" & "Stop time" will be start time and end time of the ringtone you want to create.  The length of the ringtone should be within 30 seconds.

3.  Close "Get Info" window, select the song and select "Convert Selection to AAC." from the "Advanced" menu.  A new trimmed copy of song will be created in iTunes.

4.  Drag the new song to desktop and delete the one in iTunes.

5.  Rename the song in desktop from .m4a to .m4r.  After that, drag the song back to iTunes library.  You should find the song in Ringtons section.

6.  Now you can sync your iPhone and the new rigntone will be available in your iPhone.

(I tested these steps using iTunes 8 on Mac OS X leopard, and my iPhone is 3GS with OS 3.0.   The steps using iTunes on Windows should be similar.)

Useful information about iPhone

iPhone useful information
Here is some useful information about iPhone.

iPhone "root" and "mobile" user account password

on my iPhone 3GS, the passwords are:
The password for root is "alpine"
The "mobile" user accounts password is "alpine"

on older iPhones, the passwords might be:
The password for root is "alpine"
The "mobile" user accounts password is "dottie"

I suggest you to change the passwords.


How to capture iPhone screen shots

I was just about to search for any apps to capture screen shots, then I found iPhone already have this feature.

Just press the "home" button and the "power/sleep" button at the same time, after a "click" sound, a capture of your screen is in your photos' camera roll.

Very nice! Should also work on iPod Touch. Try it.


iPhone folders

Ringtones:
/Library/Ringtones

Photos/Videos (camera roll):
/User/Media/DCIM/100APPLE


Where is iPhone Backups

iTunes makes backup of your iPhone automatically.

Where Backups are stored

iTunes places the backup files in the following places:

On a Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

On Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

On Windows Vista: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should save a copy of the backup in other places.


Putting Iphone/Ipod Touch into DFU mode

Enter DFU mode

Here's how to enter DFU mode with the Iphone/Ipod Touch:

1. Fully turn off your Iphone/Itouch. Make sure it's plugged in into your PC/Mac if you want to flash something (which you probably want to).

2. Hold down the home button, then hold down the power button without releasing the home button.

3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button, but still hold down your home button.

4. When you see a white screen, you are in DFU mode.

This could be handy if your Iphone/Itouch fails a flash.


iPhone troubleshooting - stuck at white screen

First time encountered this problem. I used up the iPhone battery and tried to charge it, but later I found it was stuck at a white screen. Cannot turn on or off.

The solution I found:

To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. During this time, a red "power off" slider may appear and the screen may go black, but do not release Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.

iPhone SSH server & client

Set up iPhone SSH server & client

(This guide is for jailbroken iPhones only)

After jailbroke my iPhone 3GS, the first thing I want to do is to set up SSH server and client in my iPhone. These are the steps how I did it.

Packages you need. Get them and install them by Cydia:
OpenSSH
MobileTerminal
BigbossHackerTools
ToggleSSH (Optional)

After install the above packages, reboot the iPhone. You will have 2 icons in iPhone screen. One icon "Terminal" for MobileTerminal, and the other for "Toggle SSH". OpenSSH and BigbossHackerTools are console packages, so you won't find any icon for them.


Using iPhone as SSH client:
If u are on cellular network, You need to enable internet tethering in iPhone to get an Internet IP, and try using safari to open a website if u can't connect to ssh host. It's not necessary if you are on wifi.
1. Tap "Terminal" icon in iPhone
2. use command ssh or sftp to connect to your SSH servers.


Using iPhone as SSH server:

After installing OpenSSH, SSH server should be automatically ON. U can use Toggle SSH to turn it on & off. All you need now is to find the IP of your iPhone, then make a ssh connection to the IP.


Using iPhone as SSH server in WIFI network:

Your SSH client and the iPhone must be in the same WIFI network.
To find the IP, in iPhone, go to Settings - Wi-Fi, tap the WiFi network to find the IP.


Using iPhone as SSH server in cellular network:

You must enable internet tethering in iPhone (through USB or Bluetooth) and connect your SSH client device to the iPhone shared network through USB or Bluetooth.

To turn on internet tethering, in iPhone, go to Settings - Network - internet tethering to turn it on.

To find the IP, tap "Terminal" and run command "ifconfig", the IP of the en1 interface will be the IP you need.

[Warning] Beware Of Multifonts MP

[Warning] Beware Of Multifonts MP
by Flover @ inbrite.com


If You are using a Multifonts MP and want to flash it to another MP without multifonts patch.

if multifonts patched MP directly flash to MP without MP
e.g using wolf MP v1.2 then flash to YuetMod 3.2 = dead phone

U all need to flash your phone into a full MP(with Langpack) or stock MP before flash the wanted MP(that does'nt have LP) on your phone

How to revive your phone - scenario 7

How to revive your phone - scenario 7
This is a case reported by spock in inbrite.com forum.

Scenario 7: You testpointed your phone, and you could repair PDS successfully, but you couldn't flash a MP successfully, by all means.

Solution: This is what spock had when the phone was dead.
1. I could testpoint and do PDS repair and BL load.
2. None of the MP/supfiles i tried worked, i even tried some RFDIs.
3. RSDLite and P2KE were all giving errors, see above for the full story.
4. Trying all the solutions given in the 'How to revive your dead mobile' did not bring my mobile back to life.
Solution that worked for spock:
Again this forum was indispensable for finding the solution.
I knew that i had corruption somewhere in the phone memory so i wanted to erase everything and start from new, however the ERASE function would not work through RSDLite or P2KE or RMLDR.
In this thread yuetblog.blogspot.com/...30050.html there is a section about FB3 (partly reproduced below):
------------------------------------------
[FB3 Profile]
ID=R4513_V360_08A0
Model=Motorola V360 (With 08.A0 boot)
UseLdr=1
RamDld=V360 (08A0).ldr
Addr=03FC8000
Jump=03FC8010
------------------------------------------
Great, this gave me the address i needed to load RAMDLD through FB3.
So I fired up FB3, went into 'Flash terminal' press 'Send RAMDLD', selected the appropriate V360 08a0 loader and it loaded fine.
Next I pressed 'Erase memory' on everything except the PDS and BL, because i knew these were ok from previous investigations. That is erase areas 10092000-11FeFFFF. Now the Erase actually worked. I knew i was making progress.
Now I testpointed again and did Repair PDS in P2KE, testpointed again and loaded a stock MP, i selected this file:R4513_G_08.B7.ABR_PDS016_LP0039_DRM0101_JPJAVA_G_08_V360_06_03_01R_SE4877AXXE112B_1FF.shx.
To my astonishment everything started loading fine, however the phone did not actually reboot at this stage, but RSDLite now showed all the phone information in the 'Device Properties' that was previously always misssing; including the correct IMEI.
Next I loaded Yuet v1.9a MP, and hooray, SUCCESS, at last.

Make MPs compatible with sticky firmwares

Make your MPs compatible with sticky firmwares AER/E0R
Russian hackers announced a great CG1 patch. With this patch, you can make your MPs also compatible with phones with AER/E0R. You don't need to get rid of the sticky firmware any more.

This patch was brought to me by coccolino_dbro. He has tried it on his V360 successfully. I also tried. I flashed to AER, then I can flash successfully to my newly created YuetMod v1.9a MP, which is based on ABR.

Use V360 ABR as an example, you can follow these steps to apply the patch to your MP.
(Assume you already know how to apply RSA patch and compile MP.)
1. split/extract your MP, which has RSA protection removed.
2. use XVI32 to open the CG1 file.
3. press Ctrl + G and jump to hex offset 386A8.
4. replace the Hex values from 477846C0 to 20014770.
5. press Ctrl + G and jump to hex offset A373D8.
6. replace the Hex values from 477846C0 to 20014770.
7. save CG1, then compile a new MP.

Different firmwares have different offsets, please refer to the following patch codes for your firmware version:

V360 ABR: (provided by coccolino_dbro)

Fix checksum errors in MP

Ultimate way to fix checksum errors in MP
This is the method I always used to fix the checksum errors in the MP.

Tools you need:
1. RSD Lite
2. RandomSHX
3. HexEditor

Steps:

1. flash the MP with checksum errors, using RSDLite.

2. open the FlashErrorLog1.log file in RSDLite folder, look for checksum errors similar to those in the attached image in the forum. The file checksum is the one in your file, which is wrong. The phone checksum is the correct one.

3. use RandomSHX to extract your MP into bins.

4. open the 0.bin file using hex editor.

5. search for the file checksum. You need to swap the bytes. For example, if the file checksum is 0x8D8A, you should search for 8A8D in the hex editor.

6. replace the file checksum with phone checksum. You also need to swap the bytes. For example, if the phone checksum is 0x8C39, you should replace the file checksum with 398C.

7. repeat steps 5-6 until you fix all the checksum errors in the log.

8. save the 0.bin file and compile the MP using RandomSHX.

"Airplane Mode" in initial setup???

Fake "Airplane Mode" in initial setup
As suggested by .::Rey::., I would like to write this warning about the "Airplane Mode" in initial setup.

What I am talking about is the CG1 hack that enable the option "Airplane mode" in the "initial setup" of V360/L7. I tried this CG1 patch, but I don't think it is true airplane mode, and even it is not airplane mode at all.

The hack is a trick. It patches the original "Status light" option to make it an option that can turn your phone into "No service" state. In this state, you can't make/receive calls, can't send/receive SMS, can't use GPRS, but you can still use bluetooth, and you can still try to make call, send SMS and start browser, although it will fail.

I doubt this trick will actually stop sending signal/searching network. I hope the original hacker can tell us the theory behind it. We can achieve the same "No service" state if we choose a wrong band in network setting.

When the real airplane mode (the one in Yuetmod v2.x) is on, it will show "Airplane mode is on" instead of "No service". It will shut off all the wireless signal for GSM, GPRS & Bluetooth network. It will also disable all the functions in the menu that might activate any of the wireless signal. The main purpose is to avoid interference with Global Positioning system during airplane flight. It can be used in other area where cell phone signal is restricted, such as hospital.

I think we must take this "airplane mode" function seriously, as the fake "airplane mode" can cause fatal problem if you use it in the flight or the hospital.

How to flash V360 with 08.A2 bootloader

How to prepare flash file for V360 with 08.A2 bootloader
This post is based on the post by bullfrog in inbrite.com forum. All credits to bullfrog.

The boot 08.A2 is not so complicated. Just make the idea you have an 08.A0 boot and that's it. You get error when flashing, because most of the shx files (v360) are compiled to work with 08.A0 and 08.D0 bootloaders, but indeed they are compiled with a 08.D0 ramdownloader and bootloader 08.A2 doesn't allow flash with that ramdownloader.

To make any shx (MP/LP/DRM) work with your bootloader you have to recompile the flash file with an 08.A0 ramdownloader. When you are going to flash, open the file with rsd lite and put atention in the right screen of the program, there it says the ramdownloader version of he shx, if says 08.D0, the file will not work for 08.A2 phone, if says 08.A0 it's ok.

Compatibility table between Bootloader and Ramdownloader (v360):

Bootloader 08.A0: You can use ram A0 or D0.
Bootloader 08.A2: You can use A0.
Bootloader 08.D0: You can use D0.
Bootloader 09.02: You can use D0 (If the flash has a firmware without RSA protection will not work)

How to compile any shx to 08.A2 boot?

You will need shxcodec

1) Download the 08.A0 RAMDOWNLOADER.
2) Open the shx with shxcodec and click "split".
3) Then you click in the line which says ramdownloader, and select "replace". Replace it with the 08.A0 ramdownloader you got in step 1.
4) Then compile the shx, you give a name and wait for the file creation.
5) Flash with your new SHX (Just check if says 08.A0 in the rsd lite)

(In the future I will not make seperate flash file for 08.A2 bootloader. Please always follow the steps in this post to convert the 08.D0 flash file to 08.A0.)

How to revive your phone

A summary on how to revive V360/L7 from software errors
I just revived my phone from a quite severe condition. My phone was detected "unknown device" & "USB device malfunctioned" by Windows. I have to testpoint the phone to bring it to life again. (It is not free, I spent $10 for the torx screw drivers set.) I think I have bricked my phone for enough times, so I would like to write this summary for reviving the phone from different scenarios. This summary is based on my experience with my V360. I think it should also apply for L7 (08.D0 R4513) as well.

Scenario & solution

Scenario 1: Once power on, the phone is always in bootloader mode showing "Code corrupted", "RDL SIG ERR" or "PH SIG ERR".
Solution: Flash your phone again to a compatible and working Monster pack (MP) using RSD Lite.

Scenario 2: Once power on, the phone is always in bootloader mode showing "MEM_MAP BLANK" or other errors. You can't flash any MP using RSD Lite.
Solution: Flash your phone again to a compatible and working MP using P2K Easy Tool v3.9.

Scenario 3: You can't power on your phone. It stays in the black screen. Your phone is not detected by RSD Lite.
Solution: Take off battery, press & hold * and # keys, then put back battery. If the phone can go into bootloader screen, flash to a compatible and working MP using P2K Easy Tool v3.9.

Scenario 4: The phone boots into a white screen. It is not detected by RSD Lite.
Solution: Take off battery, press & hold * and # keys, then put back battery. If the phone can go into bootloader screen, flash to a compatible and working MP using P2K Easy Tool v3.9.

Scenario 5: You can't power on your phone. It stays in the black screen. Your phone is not detected by RSD Lite. It is detected "unknown device" & "USB device malfunctioned" by Windows. You can't get into bootloader mode by all means.
Solution: Steps:
1) testpoint your phone to get it detected as s blank neptune LTE2, then release the testpoint;
2) use P2K easy tool v3.9 to repair PDS;
3) testpoint your phone again to get it detected as s blank neptune LTE2, then release the testpoint;
4) flash to a compatible and working MP using P2K Easy Tool v3.9.

Scenario 6: You can't power on your phone. It stays in the black screen. Your phone is detected as "S Blank Neptune LTE2" by RSD Lite.
Solution: Repair "S Blank Neptune LTE2".

Let me know your solution if you have encountered other scenario.
