got netshare from torrent, onto iphone? (non-jailbroken)

You are taking this way too far all you need is the MobileInstallation file, open ssh on your iPhone, CyberDuck and the netshare.ipa... All you do is locate the current MobileInstallation file in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.Framework/MobileInstallation.
Relpace that file with the new edited one. Restart your iPhone. Doubl click the cracked NetShare.ipa and it puts it in the application section in iTunes.. SYNC WITH YOUR IPHONE!!!!
 
Does the .app or .ipa method work on 2.0.2 firmware? I followed the ipa instructions 2X and both instances at the end on reboot, my phone hangs on the pineaple and I have to do a original restore then jailbreak the phone all over.:confused:

Yes it works with 2.0.2 just fine. I'm guessing you're making a mistake somewhere, probably in the permissions. That, or there is an unrelated issue that's making it appear as if this method does not work. If you have BossPrefs installed, try running the Fix User Dir Permissions option.

You must have a jail-broken iPhone. I tested this on a first-gen iPhone running 2.0, but it should work on 3G iPhones as well.


Using an SFTP application (I use Cyberduck), drag the NetShare.app/ folder from the desktop into the iPhone's /Applications folder.

Open a terminal window, and open an SSH session with the iPhone:

$ ssh root@192.168.0.5

(replace the IP address above with your iPhone's IP Wi-Fi address.) The default root login password is "alpine".

Next, go to the NetShare.app folder:

# cd /Applications/NetShare.app

and change the access file mask of the main application file:

# chmod 755 NetShare

Reboot (or re-spring if you know how) your iPhone.

You're done!

these instructions worked perfectly for me on 2.02! thanks!
 
I personally don't think Netshare is as good of a net share app. If you have netshare, you've most probably have a jailbroken phone or you must have been one of the lucky few.

If you have a jailbroken phone anyways, the best way to share is terminal, socks and insomnia to keep the connection on with screen switched off.

Not to mention the speeds with socks proxy goes up to 1.5 mbps where as with netshare I can max get about 700 k to 1 mbps
 
i didn't even realise this thread was still going.

there seems to be loads of instructions flying around on how to get Netshare onto the iphone, but i presume it has to be jailbroken?

i want netshare on my iphone but don't want to jailbreak it incase anything goes wrong and i need it replaced and stuff. is there a way of doing it without jailbreaking?

If you can't be ****ed to read the hundreds of posts on how to do this, or even this very ****ing thread, you'll see the ONLY way to use NETSHARE is to JAILBREAK your iPhone! Come on man! READ!!

If you haven't Jailbroken then please, do us a favour and stop asking why it won't work.

I tried the instructions listed earlier to get NetShare onto my phone but never saw an icon for it on the phone? Is there a chance i maybe did something wrong?
 
Don't feel left out..

I downloaded it legally from the app store, backed it up on Apple's wonderful time capsule, sold my MacBook Air, only to find out the sparse bundle is corrupt when trying to recover it.

I have a 3g 2.1 iPhone that is doing the exact same thing. I install it to the app folder, change everything to 775 and made the document folders in the correct places with 777 and still no dice.

I also tried to install it the way posted here (dropping it into app's folder, then using terminal to change settings) without luck.

I have be able to see the icon from time to time, but it says it can not be opened.

Other than Netshare, I cant find another reason for me to jail brake.

Oh well :(
 
Update...

So I mixed these two methods together after dragging the Netshare.app to the application folder.

Hi domness,

Thanks for your reply.

I added the patched mobileinstallation 2.1 version into /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework/
I've also set permission to 775.

However the icons for the applications do not appear until I delete com.apple.mobile.installation.plist at /var/mobile/library/caches

Am I doing something wrong?

cheers"

and...

"1) SSH into your phone, navigate to the folder: "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework"
NOTE: MobileInstallation.framework is a FOLDER!
2) Backup the file "MobileFramework" from the directory above.
NOTE: Rename it to MobileFramework.bak (keep it safe)
3) n/a
4) Copy the patched (2.1) MobileFramework file into the "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework"
NOTE: MobileInstallation.framework is a FOLDER!
5) Set permissions to that new file to 775
Note: CHECK AGAIN! VERY IMPORTANT!
6) Navigate to "/private/var/mobile/"
7) Set permissions to the folder "Applications" to 777
NOTE: make sure reclusive is checked (meaning it sets all files within the folder to 777)
8) Navigate into the "/private/var/mobile/applications/ folder
9) Create a "Documents" folder in the "/private/var/mobile/applications/" folder.
10) Set the permission to 777
11) Navigate to the root level.
12) Navigate into the "/applications/" folder.
13) Create a "Documents" folder in the "/applications/" folder. Set permission to 777
12) Reboot your iPhone - IMPORTANT! Otherwise Apps will not install!
13) Restart iTunes
14) Download one OFFICIAL App from the app store, if you haven't already.
tip: it can be a free app are fine. Just needs to be an OFFICIAL App."

Best of luck!
 
I've tried all the methods of tethering, and I still prefer the socks method using 3proxy and mobileterminal. Like other people say, the connection is much faster. I don't know why anyone would bother with all this in order to get netshare.
 
theres actually a better one on cydia called iPhoneModem. you just open the app on your phone, and open this app on your computer, and your connected. no need to mess around with socks and all that. simple to use.

iPhoneModem is not free. If you don't pay and register it, it only works for a few seconds before it cuts off the connection and pops up an annoying nag screen.
 
I know this is a mac forum but...

Does anyone have or know where to find these directions for Windows? Thanks...
 
since you already have cydia installed, just get pdanet. it's free, and miles better than netshare. it basically turns the phone into a router, no need for changing any settings anywhere.
