iPhone/iPod Touch Installer.app Sources Repositories

1 June 2008

After you simply plug in your iPhone/iPod touch, open itunes, and then open the ZiPhone installer.  You should add sources to your Installer.app Sources List.

To do this click on the AppTapp Installer logo on your SpringBoard, here is the screen you should see

AppTapp*This is an out-of-date screenshot but should suffice.  Note the Installer Logo you should’ve tapped on your SpringBoard.

Tap “Sources” in the bottom right then tap “Edit” in the top right, now “Add” in the top left.  Unfortunately you have to add one-by-one:

  • http://repository.apptapp.com
  • http://touchrepo.com/repo.xml
  • http://repo.ispazio.net
  • http://repository.ripdev.com
  • http://apogeeltd.com
  • http://iphonefanclub.com/native
  • http://iphonexe.com
  • http://apptapp.saurik.com
  • http://thebigboss.org/repo.xml

Easy Jailbreak for any iPhone or iPod Touch

1 June 2008

Check out http://www.ziphone.org/ , it is the blog for ZiPhone, an easy to use Jailbreak or crack for iPhones and iPod Touches.  The download site is http://download.ziphone.org/ .  The crack is compatibile with all firmwares up to 1.1.4.  Unfortunately Apple is about to release the 2.0 firmware which will require a new iTunes as well.  I would hold off on upgrading to that firmware.  The ZiPhone guy says he probably wont switch til 2.1, if even then, but will release an updated ZiPhone that will work with the 2.0 firmware.

This allows you to unlock your iPhone and use it with any service that has sim cards!  Also, there are loads of applications that are useful and available but for some reason Apple is currently blocking them.
