Looking for Mobileinstallation 2.2? Use AppShare and Installous in Cydia!

After upgrading your iPhone to 2.2, you found out that you can no longer run your test ipa apps that were installed using the mobileinstallation mod. So you searched the net in the hopes of finding a mobileinstallation upgrade for 2.2, right? Ok, I can give you a link to such a file (yes, it exists) that you can download and then modify your iPhone files using the tutorial I made here. Or I can show you an easier way.

Of course you want the easier way… so here’s how.

Add the hackulo.us repo (cydia.hackulo.us) to your Cydia Sources.

Install the following files:

  • miPatch
  • Installous
  • Appshare (Update: Appshare is no longer available in Cydia. Function has been integrated in Installous!)

That’s it!

Of course, if you haven’t done it already, you need to install at least one app from the App Store (a free app is ok) before you can use your test ipa apps.

Use Appshare to download or directly install from a list of ipa apps.

Use Installous to view a list of all the ipa files you have downloaded from Appshare and install what you like. download or directly install from a list of ipa apps.

From your iPhone, you can sync these apps to iTunes.

The good news is, if you have a favorite web site from which to download these ipa apps, you can still do so and copy them to iTunes. Sync with your iPhone as usual and you’re good to go!

    The file doesnt show up if it is not .ipa ; some donload link lead to .zip or .rar files.
    Go to Download folder and unzip/unrar the files, thats all.

    I was installing Installous and I was at the part where it's installing the files so I have to wait right before the part where i press “return to cidya” only the screen went white for a split second then black. My ipodtouch 2g shut off on my..So now i redo my jailbreak to get it up and running. I'm at the part where i'm about to see my home screen but the white Apple logo is just sitting there, looking at me as if taunting me. It won't get back to the home screen. About 2-3 minutes go by and it just shuts off and I have to rejailbreak it. This app worked the first time without a problem but I had to restore then rejailbreak for other reasons so this is my second time installing this app. Any ideas that doesn't involve restoring and jailbreaking?

    I'm really stuck on this! Please help me. I've got iphone 3g, 16gb, jailbroken and unlocked. After I installed boss prefs and clicked on it, the iphone froze and now when I try to turn it on, it switches on, but the only thing that happens is that I get the Apple logo. That's it! nothing else happens. Tried to connect it to itunes, but itunes doesn't pick the iphone up, so I can't restore it. getting really frustrated on this. My iphone became a rock! Can't do anything with it. Can you please help?!

  • sagdfhsn

    MINES DOING THE SAME THING!!!

  • hugop

    sorted. all you need to do is get your iphone onto recovery mode and restore at itunes

  • David Niaz

    Hey, for those of you who get this message when trying to install instaloous:

    Note: The requested modifications cannot be applied due to required dependencies or conflicts that cannot be automatically found or fixed.

    Install Icy http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/04/how-to-insta

    Add this source: http://cydia.haculo.us

    Then search for installous.

    Install.

    This was bugging me for 3 days, since I couldn't figure out why it wasn't installing. You have to use Icy.

  • kmart2

  • austin

    installous wont download. it goes to last step of downloading. the one right after you have to type in what u seen in the little box that is case sensitive. so the white bar comes up wont fill and then says like 3050 downloaded. will not show any thing else and wont download anything. how to fix?

  • mimota

    hi, i have installous on my iphone but when looking for an applications like kijiji for example it wont give me any results although on apple store there is an application for kijiji ? again it happened with lots of applications not just kijiji. any ideas?

  • igotaniphone

    mimota, Maybe you should try this alternative Apps search engine which is much faster.
    If you're using the new Install0us, set the following URL as your homepage: http://dotdoh.com/ipasearch

  • KrisAtiPhone

  • Andre

  • Crippsx

    thats gay .. thats basically the point i got to aswell .. a resume function would be awesome. especially since u start getting a large list of apps after a while .. and the incomplete downloads stay and u have no way of knowing if they are complete downloads or not..

  • Crippsx

    dude , FBI , CIA and SWAT teams are gonna descend down ropes from helicopters hovering over ur house and come through your windows and doors in a violent raid.. forcing you to the ground at gunpoint and demanding that u turn over your terrorist ipod that has now been programmed with the enemys spy software and could self destruct at any moment, wiping out areas as large as rhode island and leaving nothing but a mushroom cloud radiating over the barren land.. DONT DO IT !!
