Add Ringtones to your iPhone

Hack The iPhone has posted an in-depth walkthrough on how to get custom ringtones working on your iPhone.
It requires quite a bit of hackery and, if you’re not careful, could very well kill off your iPhone altogether.
I honestly don’t think I’d want to risk that considering it costs a small fortune to purchase an iPhone in the first place.
If anything, it’s a pretty good read just to learn more about the inner workings of of the iPhone (atleast from a software standpoint).
The usual disclaimers apply. It’s your own fault if you break it. ![]()


#1 Dallas says:I have tried this and the steps were really simple and easy to follow and it worked like a charm! I love it! I added some ring tones and replaced the Event Reminder sound and my iPhone still works perfectly. I would give it a try, I think the disclaimer was just to cover their butts. If something does go wrong you can do a restore from iTunes.

#2 Josh says:What?! You can’t put your own ringtones on an iPhone without hacking it?? That fooking sucks balls. Talk about blood sucking phone companies. Sheesh!

#3 Matt Radel says:I wonder if this is just an AT&T thing? To my knowledge, Cingular didn’t lock down their phones as verizon is notorious for. I’ll be really disappointed if they wind up doing that across all phones.

#4 Dallas says:Apple will be releasing the ability at some point, it just didn’t make it into release day. This hack gives you the ability to have custom tones until Apple releases that update.

#5 Pj says:custom ringtones work great but ho do u erase the ones u don’t want later?
