Home PageiFuntastic 5.5.0 (r002)
iFuntastic is an application for Macintosh which lets you customize your
iPhone or iPod.
Its foundation is a file manager for the phone's file system. Other
features build on that to allow easy modification of text, settings,
sounds and especially graphics which make up the phone's user
experience.
Some functionality is available to out-of-the-box phones (custom
ringtones and copying your own files to and from the phone.) The 'good
stuff' requires the phone to be jailbroken and unshackled. Please read
the Terminology section, if you haven't done so.
Once your phone is unshackled, you can install iFuntastic Support. This
is a set of files and tools which iFuntastic uses to do its magic.
Anything that iFuntastic does can be undone by restoring the phone in
iTunes.
iLibertyX does it all, jailbreaks, activates and unlocks firmware up to
1.1.4 for all bootloader versions of the iPhone and easily jailbreaks
your iPod Touch. Another cool feature available is the packages console.
With this you can easily install pre made third party payloads onto your
iPhone / iPod Touch like dropbear ssh and a payload to reflash the wifi
/ edge / bluetooth. iLibertyX will even upgrade the bootloader on 3.9
b/l phones if you so desire (note the bootloader upgrade does not work
on ziphone unlocked phones).
