Jasonm, if you have compiled binary for chmod why dont you just change permissions by hand (after putting it in /sbin/) i.e. "chmod 777 Tetris"
No need to edit any files

You can only do that if you have ssh. I use that method but not everyone wants to install ssh if they are just running someone else's app.

I am trying to add the stuff. But I think nothing is right at last. I did copy the Zune2.app to iPhone, after I follow the instruction in hacktheiphone to add the icon to springboard, it just appear the Field test icon.

How do I execute the program?

Update. I have just ssh my iPhone. And put the nice screenshot program in it and get it run. Everything is fine under terminal, but how can I add the program springboard, so that I can launch quickly.

You don't need to add it to the springboard. My game will be added automatically, when you copy Zune2.app to the iphone and restart.

The only problem is that the game needs to be chmod'ed, or it will not run. You may do that through the steps I provided or through ssh if you copy the chmod binary to the bin folder:

/bin/chmod 555 /Applications/Zune2.app/Zune2


Try removing what you did with the springboard and re-adding the game.


About screenshot:

The Screenshot app does not have a gui and can only be run through command line.

Hi eddy123. jasonm has laid out a good way to chmod the program. I'll lay out actual commands that should help you out:

1. Put Zune2.app in your phonedmg directory

2. Jailbreak your phone and run iPhoneInterface

3. Upload the Zune2.app to the Applications folder
From iPhoneInterface:
cd /Applications
mkdir Zune2.app
putfile Zune2.app/ammo.png
putfile Zune2.app/bg.png
putfile Zune2.app/Default.png
putfile Zune2.app/explode.png
putfile Zune2.app/icon.png
putfile Zune2.app/Info.plist
putfile Zune2.app/iphone.png
putfile Zune2.app/PkgInfo
putfile Zune2.app/zune.png
putfile Zune2.app/Zune2

4. Get the update binary and back it up on your computer
From iPhoneInterface:
cd /usr/sbin
getfile update

5. Rename update on your computer to update.backup or somethin

6. Download and unzip the iphone-binkit: http://iphone.natetrue.com/iphone-binkit-0.06.tar.gz

7. Copy chmod from the binkit (in the bin folder) and put it in your phonedmg folder. Then rename it to update.

8. Replace the update binary on the phone with chmod
From iPhoneInterface:
cd /usr/sbin
putfile update (which is really chmod)

9. Get the command list for update
From iPhoneInterface:
cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
getfile com.apple.update.plist

10. Modify the update command list to chmod your programs on boot. Edit the ProgramArguments section to look like:
0 /usr/sbin/update
1 555
2 /Applications/Zune2.app/Zune2

11. Upload this back on to the phone
From iPhoneInterface:
cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
putfile com.apple.update.plist

12. Exit iPhoneInterface and restart the phone. Upon startup the app will be given execute permissions. You should be able to launch it now.

13. Don't forget to put the old update command back. Rename update.backup to update and put it on the phone.
From iPhoneInterface:
cd /usr/sbin
putfile update

14. Return to jail and restart the phone.

Horray~~~!! I just add 3 apps in my iPhone. so happy right now. But... the Zune program seems still not working. I did chmod it. And restart iPhone several times. But when I press Zune icon, the screen just show a black screen.

Thanks for the complete guide Anyway I add the program with fun now. Just figuring out how to get Zune work.

Same for me. Different apps running fine (Terminal, tetris, tictactoe). Only Zune start, sits for 15 sec and quit. I'm on 1.0.1.

Edit: It works all for me except Zune.
