Hello everyone,

With the new release of iRingtoner and iToner, these programs allow you to add ringtones to your iPhone without any hacking (jailbreaking). However, you will notice once you install iTunes 7.4 that your ringtones are gone now.

Well, with iRingtoner (and possibly iToner, but I do not know how their program works internally), it basically does the same thing iTunes 7.4 does to put ringtones on the iPhone, therefore iTunes 7.4 overwrites the configuration files that iRingtoner (and possibly iToner) create.

Well, thankfully if you want to stick with your own ringtones and not pay for them, you can just run iRingtoner every time after you sync and it will restore your ringtones without having to re-upload them. Just open up the program and close it. That's it.

Of course when you go to sync again, your ringtones will be lost once again.

To fix this, follow these instructions:

1. Open up iTunes 7.4
2. Click Ringtones Tab under your iPhone.
3. Uncheck the 'Sync Ringtones' box.
4. Exit iTunes
5. Run iRingtoner.
6. Close iRingtoner.
7. Restart your phone.

Now all your ringtones should be back.

Now everytime you open iTunes, it won't sync your "iTunes Ringtones" and it will keep your custom free ringtones.

Now, just to let you know, you should only have to do this once as long as you don't sync Ringtones using iTunes, and also, you can't have the best of both worlds, so it seems your either stuck using your custom ringtones using iRingtoner or iToner, OR you can go the iTunes Ringtones route.

Now this won't effect people who have hacked their phone copying the ringtones to the /var/root/Library/Ringtones directory. (I haven't tested it, but it's been reported to work by other modmyi users.)

Hopefully these instructions are easy to understand and will help everyone out!

Of course there are some users that say this doesn't work and others that say it does work (including myself.) I guess that's just the nature of the beast. Weird.

Well, that /var/root/Library/Ringtones does work for me. Both Ringtones (mac) and iToner (mac) did not work after an iTunes Sync (with the Ringtones tab unchecked) the songs would be gone.

Use CyberDuck

what's cyberduck? Will it fix all these stupid ringtone problems?

CyberDuck is a free OS X FTP program.

[PraetorianXI]

An advance mac ftp client app.

I Used it to install ROMs in the iPhone and now Ringtones.

Same procedure, just go to: /var/root/Library/

Make a Ringtones folder and drag your ringtone files to it. It is iTunes Proof, and they show in your iPhone

it says:
Preparation
• Go to the Installer in your iPhone and install these packages in this order: BSD Subsystem and OpenSSH.
• Leave the installer by clicking on the home button.

How do you do that?

[PraetorianXI]

uhhh... have you used the Installer.app?

[iphoneroeth]

no, I never used the installer app

[huntor]

all you have to do is just uncheck the "Sync ringtones" box and it'll let you keep all your ringtones.

easy as that.

[iphoneroeth]

ok, I have installer app installed. But I don't see SSH as a package in it. How can I install now SSH?

Just shitz'n'giggles, I purchased a green day song in the iTunes Store, "boulevard of broken dreams" - and they also show it with a bell logo next to it showing that the song is able to be ringtone converted - in Steve's Keynote- anyway- I don't see that bell logo anywhere. What a waste! Any clues? What's going on?

[poetic_folly]

As has been answered many times, he said it would be available later this month.

Install the Community Sources 2.3 first.

Hey, here's a way to add ringtones to iTunes yourself. Anyone try it yet? I wonder if you can just rename a mp3 file? I mean, does any software actually rely on the extention to be correct now-a-days? Anyways, here's the link I found.
