Great iPhone Hacks

Crack Open the Firmware

The first major hack, achieved just three days after the iPhone went on sale, gives wannabe iPhone programmers access to the phone's basic firmware -- the code that makes it run. The iPhone Dev Wiki people managed to download the iPhone firmware from the iTunes server where it sits ready for people who need to do a factory reset. Opening the two encrypted disk images contained within was trickier, but soon yielded the passwords for root access (which gives you superuser privileges) and the default user (named "mobile"), both of which are essential for further access to the innards of the operating system. Difficulty: Very Advanced Details: Hacked: IPhone Firmware Already in the Wild

Gain Access to the Shell

To properly dig around inside any computer, you need some form of access to the underlying system. In this case it's Unix, which OS X is based on. The iPhoneInterface application allows just that. First arriving just over a week after the iPhone launch, iPhoneInterface grants access to the shell, the inner sanctum of Unix. It requires that you make, borrow or steal a serial-to-iPhone cable, but once connected, you should -- in theory at least -- have access to the whole OS. Difficulty: Advanced Details: And they're In! IPhone Shell Access Gained

Install a Suite of Unix Utilities

Once you've got access to the shell, the next step is actually running command-line utilities from it. Nightwatch, member of the iPhone Dev Wiki, built the ARM/Mach-O Toolchain, a set of tools to compile software for the iPhone. He or she also recently released a working shell, which enables you to run command line utilities on the iPhone. This is probably the most significant hack to date as it means you can write and run your own applications on the phone. Nightwatch's utilities don't have the gloss of the iPhone's multi-touch interface, or even a graphical interface of any kind, but real programmers don't need pretty pictures, right? Here is a list of the Unix commands that the Toolchain supports, including remote login access (telnet) and a few utilities for file system manipulation. Nightwatch has also compiled an SSH (Secure Shell) server which enables remote code execution on the phone.

Get Customized Ringtones

Oddly, despite being an iPod loaded with music, Apple lets you use only the standard -- and fairly lame -- ringtones that ship with the iPhone. There's not even an option to purchase and download new ringtones from AT&T. If you are feeling brave, however, you can use some of the previously mentioned applications to add custom ring tones, in only 20 heart-stoppingly dangerous steps. You will need an Intel Mac, a copy of the iPhoneInterface utility and the iPhone firmware (both mentioned above), as well as a utility called Jailbreak (zip file) that lets you run scripts on the iPhone. This could turn your iPhone into a brick, as you are essentially recompiling the operating system, but as the video below shows, it works.
