You have to use a webproxy like anonymouse.org

Hey guys, I'm trying to open jajah.com but safari is redirected to iphone.jajah.com. How can I reach the regular site instead of the iphone site?

Appreciate your help.

You must find where MobileSafari's user agent is stored and modify it to fit Mac OS X Safari version

Wish there was a safari plugin like user agent switcher for firefox. Anybody know where the user agent settings are stored on the iphone?

does anyone know of a way of switching the user agent on the iPhone yet?

im on 1.1.4 and i've looked everywhere but no luck

I've seen the string in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/WebKit.framework/WebKit

There are 2 lines. The difference is the %@ at the end of the line.

Mozilla/5.0 (%@; U; CPU iPhone OS %@ like Mac OS X; %@) AppleWebKit/%@ (KHTML, like Gecko) %@

Each %@ is filled at runtime with whatever variables that is given to it... much like a printf statement in c.

I foresee that modifying it isn't going to be as simple as changing the string to what you want since it'll change the addresses in the file. Good luck.

Oh and this was taken from iPhone 3G 2.0.2 5C1.

How to change user agent posted below

ok... heres how I changed my user agent on 1.1.4.

I have not yet tested it on 2.x (although I presume it can be done). If you wish to attempt this on 2.x, you will need to pseudosign the hacked file (/System/Library/Private Frameworks/Webkit.framework/Webkit) BEFORE you restart your phone, otherwise you will be locked out and need to do a restore.

If you're going to try this, obviously im not responsible in the event of damage or loss. This worked for me on 1.1.4 though, and I hope it can help out others too.


Step 1 - SFTP or SSH into iPhone and Grab the following files:

[on 1.x]:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Webkit.framework/Webkit
/System/Library/Frameworks/Webkit.framework/Info.plist


Step 2 - Open the 'Webkit' file in a hex editor (I used 0xED on my Mac)
You need to find this line:
and change it to:
(Obviously the new text is much shorter than what was in there, so you need to fill the rest in with spaces. see screenshot)



Step 3 - You need to convert the Info.plist into standard XML format. If you have a Mac you can do this in the terminal using the following command (make sure to change your file path to wherever you have the file saved):
If you aren't on a Mac you will need to install the Perl Framework to run the plutil script in command prompt (available here: http://scw.us/iPhone/plutil). This script has a slightly different syntax but obviously the goal is to convert this file to plain xml so you can edit it.

Step 4 - Now open the converted Info.plist
Look for these lines:
And simply change the string value to whatever user agent you want. Mine Looks like this:
Step 5 - Convert Info.plist back to binary with this command in your terminal (OSX) (again, make sure to change your file path to wherever you have the file saved):
Step 6 - Upload the two modified files back onto your phone into the same directory you found them.

Step 7 - Reset your phone and test out your new user agent by going to something like useragent.org

I think I figured it out...

If somebody who knows anything about programming can review the tutorial (see my last post) and make sure I'm not doing anything that might f** stuff up.

Otherwise, my phone seems to work fine and my user agent is changed, so thats a good thing
