i downloaded a game thats a .rar file and its just sitting here, no idea where to put it or how to get it to run
Well first off, did you jailbreak your phone? If not you have to start by jailbreaking the phone.
If it is jailbroken you can continue.
Unrar it and there should be a .ipa file.
Install bossprefs from cydia and turn on SSH. SSH into the iphone and drop the .ipa file in /Private/var/mobile/library/downloads. You can only SSH while connected via wifi.
Then when you open installous (another cydia installed app) you should see the new ipa and be able to run the install for it.
Remember to turn ssh off when you’re not using it.
yeah its jailbroken, i need to download something to unrar this i take it, i used installous to download it, but its just sitting there doing nothing.
Probably better off just copying it to your computer, using winrar to unrar it, then copy the ipa back to the phone in the directory I specified.
Not sure if an unrar program even exists for the iphone. Pretty surprised someone was even allowed to link a .rar in installous.
yeah this is too much work for a game lol
Really not a big deal. You should install bossprefs and get SSH working anyway so you can backup all the ipa files you download with installous. You need it for copying video files off if you install one of the video camera apps too.
damn the thing is harder to put back together than it is to take it appart
Anyone check out SouthPark Mobile on Cydia? Its freaking awesome. Every episode from all 12 seasons you can stream over 3G.
Between that, MewSeek, and PwnPlayer I really have rid myself of iTunes on Ubuntu now.
I now can download songs directly to the iPhone with MewSeek Pro (Cracked on Cydia) and pay anything copied directly to /var/mobile/Media/Music in PwnPlayer. Also, it has some cool gesture controls and looks really promising in the future. Only thing I wish was a way to actually sync a list on my computer with my iPhone.
Oh there is also a Family Guy one on the Sleepers repo.
whoa kevin how have you been in the FTP business for so long and not run into a RAR file?
The whole thing with spanned RAR files threw me off even when I knew what a RAR was too back in the day.
I downloaded a movie and got:
movie.rar
movie.001
movie.002
movie.003
and thought…how do I play a .001 file? LOL
FUCK@!@!!!@!@#!@# I NEED PICTURE TEXT MESSAGING!!
is your phone jailbroken? there are a few apps that are around the $5 range for MMS
I thought there was still problems with Picture messaging?
Jailbroken… I missed out on nudes last night. I need picture text messaging ASAP!!
haha, been there, know the feeling!
Just have them sent to your email that syncs with your phone. Problem solved.
The actual feature is possible and there is software to do it. The hard part is just getting ATT to change the settings to enable it on your phone becuase they arent technically allowed to.
Have you figured out a way to get them to change that setting and leave it alone yet?
Well thats the thing, i tried the one time, and the guy was super cool and tried changing it but still didnt work, maybe he lied to me i dont know.
They do some network sweep that checks the phone type vs plan and fixes it becuase they need to make some changes and put you on a different plan since iPhone plans are different than data plans.
I just started emailing photos or using FlickIt and dealt with it than deal with ATT to get it changed.
anyone know if there is anything i can do to stop getting mobile webpages on the iphone…i was on nhl.com last night to get the play by play scoreboard on the phone like i always do and they now have a mobile webpage so i cant anymore
