How to add ipa files to your iPhone

So it’s not a secret anymore… many iPhone games and applications have been *****ed (and still are). Basically, you can get 2 types of files. The “normal” .app file, and the *****ed ipa file.


So, how to install ipa files on an iPhone or iPod Touch?

1. You need to be on jailbroken iPhone with Cydia installed. For this, you may use QuickPwn, PwnageTool, or WinPwn.



2. Install OpenSSH from Cydia on your iPhone. Click on Cydia and then click Install (Sections)>Networking>OpenSSH then click Install>Confirm (if you get a running out of disk space error click “ok”).


3. Log into WinSCP. The first time you try to login you may get a connection timeout error, click retry several times (up to 20 times!) and it should work. If you still get an error, reboot your /iPhone and try again.


4. Navigate to /private/var/mobile/ folder


5. Set the permission of the Applications folder to 777 (make sure reclusive is checked).


6. Stay in the /private/var/mobile/ folder.


7. Create a folder called “Documents” in the /private/var/mobile/ folder. Make sure to spell “Documents” correctly, with a capital “D”.


8. Set the permission to 777.


9. Navigate to the root level and open the /Applications folder.


10. Create a folder called “Documents” inside the /Applications folder and set permission to 777.



———Note: You will only need to create these two Documents folders once———
11. Go to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework


12. Rename the file “MobileInstallation” to “MobileInstallation.bak”


13. Download this patched MobileInstallation file from HERE. Note that you have to download the patched file for the firmware you are running. ie. if you are running 2.2, you need the MobileInstallation 2.2 patched file.

MobileInstallation patch for iPhone 2.1 Firmware:


14. Place the patched file into the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework folder and set the permissions 775 for the patched MobileInstallation file. If there is some type of extension (ie .dylib), then you need to remove that extension.

15. Reboot your iPhone/iPod Touch


16. Download *****ed ipa Games and Apps from the other thread.


17. Download at least one App from  App Store (Free or Paid). What I do is I download one app from the App Store using iTunes, then I sync my iPhone and reboot it. Then I download one app from the App Store on the iPhone and reboot the phone. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: Otherwise you will get an error! [Only need to do this once]

18. Drag and drop the .ipa file you downloaded into the iTunes Application library.


19. Sync your iPhone/iPod Touch and enjoy!
