If you followed the instruction and move your fonts, ringtones and applications(move according this sequence) it will stated that "...already moved" at the end of each category. Check the diskspace available on top where it will normally state around 116mb out of 300mb and this means you're done.

nop , when i click move fonts , then it loads for about 2 secs and does nothing diskspace available 0/300mb

Mate, if you're trying to move your Fonts and/or Applications out of the root directory to free up some space, I'd like to suggest the method I've been using since day 1, which is pretty much the raw command line method BossTool was built on. Assuming you're on Windows, get the app PuTTY HERE. With your iPhone hooked onto your WiFi at this stage, run PuTTY and input your iPhone's IP address and click on 'Open'. Type in your iPhone's username 'root' & password 'alpine' when prompted. After you're successfully logged in, run the following commands. Press "Enter" after every line

FOR APPLICATIONS :

# mkdir /private/var/Applications
# cp -Rp /Applications/* /private/var/Applications
# mv /Applications /Applications.backup
# ln -s /private/var/Applications/ /Applications
# rm -rf /Applications.backup

FOR FONTS :

# mkdir /private/var/Fonts
# cp -Rp /System/Library/Fonts/* /private/var/Fonts
# mv /System/Library/Fonts /System/Library/Fonts.backup
# ln -s /private/var/Fonts/ /System/Library/Fonts
# rm -rf /System/Library/Fonts.backup


Be sure to copy everything EXACTLY as above, down to the cases and spacings. After done, reboot. BossTool should now show the rightfully reduced root partition size as intended in the first place Good luck, mate!

nice answer. thanks . but my house doesnt have wifi. T_T

OUCH In that case, I assume you downloaded BossTool while you were somewhere else? It is seriously very difficult to do things which involve accessing the iPhone's filesystem without a wireless connection. If BossTool is your only option, then I would suggest an Uninstall, Reboot, then Reinstall. That's the only short-term solution I can think of right now if you're limited to BossTool.

lol. sad. hm there isnt any other way to move files manually?

try uninstall some apps. & try the bosstool again

see how thing goes..

Not very possible nor practical on the phone alone, unfortunately mate Perhaps you could visit a friend and borrow his/her PC + wireless?

now another problem turn up , whenever i install something on the installer , it just loads at the installing application , then it exits . i uninstalled some of the application to make sure i have space but the thing still happens. i reboot and redo the same thing , the same problem occur
