Hey, I read a lot of forums about adding ringtones/wallpapers/documents/misc into the iPhone via the computer. They always go like
" ...add this into var/files/blablabla"

How do I access these folders? I tried windows explorer but windows recognises my phone as a scanner and camera so when I explore, I only
get to see my photos.

Is there a special program to download to do the above?

Thanks a lot in advance guys... notworthy.gif

Or you can try downloading and install 'iphonebrowser'. It's free....just google for it. Don't have to use Wifi. Just connect your iPhone using USB cable and then open the program. It will let you access files in your phone.

Cool. Thanks a lot guys.

Did some googling and found some links. To summarize for future new iPhone users..


To access files on iPhone:


1) Download iPhone browser v1.52 here:
http://www.iphoneworld.ca/news/2008/03/27/...on-your-iphone/

2) After that, if you unlocked using ziphone, add the following source in the installer app:
http://i.unlock.no

3) From the installer app, under unlocking tools, add the iBrickr tool

4) Restart phone

5) You should be able to now access your iPhone folders through iphonebrowser. nod.gif

As far as i know, no need to unlock again. Just install iphonebrowser on your PC and you're on.

It depends on whether your phone was unlocked using ziphone. Cz iPhone browser won't recognize your phone as jailbroken even if it already is if you don't add ibrickr. Best way to find out is to install iPhone browse first and see if it detects your phone as jailbroken. If it does not, follow the above steps. Hope this helps.
