Using the m4r spoof method isn't perfect. You might need to try using a different filename for your m4a/m4r file (keep it at 4 characters). There is no exact method as to figuring out working filenames as of yet, it just takes experimentation.

i did both ways cuz wasnt sure if my phone is jailbroken, however, the ringtones are still lost after sync with itune, and when i tried to reload the ringtone.plist using iphonebrowser, it says program cant not copy files from iphone, and i do see the invincible.plist, but ringtones are not in my iphone, i am unable to overwrite the ringtone.plist, what can i do??

just did it! and after a little trial and error it worked awesome!
I have no computer skills at all and was able to do this! Thanks!

Pleasure. Thanks to Hyper for sharing it.

Thats a really good method.. Only down side is you are forced to use AAC... this method works with MP3s as well. I wonder if both methods can be used together??

The putty program isn't working for me. It tells me either that the connection was refused or that the connection timed out. Any suggestions? Thanks.

**truenorth** · 11-05-2007, 12:51 PM

Try restarting both putty and the iPhone.

Read back a few posts for instructions how to undo.

Environment:
Win XP
AnySIM unlocked iPhone 1.1.1
iTunes 7.5

I followed all the instructions to create a Symbolic Link for the Invincible.plist

Everything works as desired but when I sync my iPhone using iTunes. The symbolic link is removed and the default Ringtones.plist is there.

Can author/anyone else confirm this behavior. To me it seems that iTunes 7.5 does make a check for any linked files and breaks it.

Or is that I'm missing something ???

does anyone know if this works with 1.1.3 jailbreak'd phones?
