MobileInstallation for iPhone
If you like this post, please feel free to digg it, or subscribe to our RSS feed, or follow me on Twitter, or all of the above 
Have you noticed how difficult it is to find a copy of MobileInstallation lately? If you don’t know what this file is, let’s say that it is a pretty useful file should you want to use cracked games on your iPhone.
So I did some research and found different sources. From what I read, you can use MobileInstallation 3.0 Beta patch on a 3.0 iPhone. I haven’t tried this myself and if you do, please let us know how it went in the comments.
MobileInstallation patch for iPhone 3.0 Firmware:
- MobileInstallation patch for 3.0 via AppSync
- MobileInstallation patch for 3.0 Beta (supposedly works on the official 3.0 firmware)
MobileInstallation patch for iPhone 2.2.1 Firmware:
MobileInstallation patch for iPhone 2.2 Firmware:
MobileInstallation patch for iPhone 2.1 Firmware:
- MobileInstallation patch for 2.1
- MobileInstallation for Firmware 2.1
- MobileInstallation for 2.1
- MobileInstallation 2.1
Older versions (not sure anymore)…

At the time I am writing this, all links work but they get taken down pretty quickly.

You should put each MobileInstallation file organized per FW version or it’ll make your iPhone hang on boot forever!
Just drop the .dylib extension name from the patch file and it will be ok
Hi, I’ve got a roblem i can’t find the .dylib please help me
I have windows VISTA
@Hugo - sometimes the .dylib is not here, it depends where you download it from. If there is no .dylib, no problem, just keep going through the process
Does it work with the 3g, too? Last time it didn’t altrough i set the perms correctly…
In any case thanks for the hints
what’s diffterent between the mobileinstallation and the patch. do i need both?
MobileInstallation is already on your iPhone. You need the MobileInstallation PATCH (link is above) and replace the original MobileInstallation with it (after backing it up of course)
Place the patched file into the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework folder and set the permissions 775 for the patched MobileInstallation file. If there is some type of extension (ie .dylib), then you need to remove that extension.
Can any one please tell me what mobileinstallation patch file do I have to put for FW 2.0.2
Thanks
Hello Murali,
Since you’re running firmware 2.0.2, you will need the patched mobileinstallation 2.0.2 which you can probably find on google.
Sebastien
i am using iphonebrowser to patch the file i have patched it but how to change the permissions plzzzzzz help
Hello Ameya,
You can’t set permissions with iPhoneBrowser, you will need to use WinSCP or CyberDuck to do that.
Does this work with Ipod Touch 2.1?
Hello Eric,
Yes it does work for iPod Touch 2.1 but you will have to find the patched MobileInstallation for iPod Touch 2.1
I don’t have it listed here.
Sebastien
2.1.MI.patched.zip is the same .zip that i did use to jailbreak my iphone, that’s why im asking
I think that i will only have to change the permission on it
i didn’t backup my original mobileinstallation file, as i forgot to change the name to “mobileinstallation.bak” and i said yes to replacing original file. is this going to be a problem for me? Is there any way i can get the file back?
Does the mobileinstallation patch for 2.1 also work with the iphone 3g. i tested it with my iphone 8gb (first gen.) and it worked perfectly.
thanks
@Alex
I have the original file. If you need it, just drop me a email - kendrick272@gmail.com and i’ll send it to you.
can any one tell which file should i download for the iphone 3g , am using V 2.1 ..!!
I jailbroke with quickpwn and used ssh to upload the 2.1 to my 2.2 3g phone and the applications started syncing with no problems.
add this source to cydia
http://iphone.org.hk/apt
you will found an automatic mobileinstallation patch !
For some reason (must’ve been half asleep or something) I downloaded and installed the 2.2 firmware through iTunes when it came out a couple of days ago, and I lost Cydia and all of the apps I got from there.
I’ve tried using the newly released QuickPwn tool and the MBI 2.1 patch but it still doesn’t work. Also, now WinSCP can’t connect to my iPhone (presumably due to SSH?). Is there something I’m doing wrong or did I really screw it up by downloading 2.2 from iTunes?
@ Steve - check out my post about downgrading from 2.2 to 2.1. It is also now possible to jailbreak firmware 2.2 so that might be the answer to your problem.
Mobileinstallation file for 2.2
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QNTXT0Q6
(another mirror I guess)
Hi guys…
Here are two download lilnks for the mobilinstallation file for firmware 2.2 on iphone. Don’t know about touch - haven’t got one of those. Works fine on my iphone 3g…
http://rapidshare.com/files/166701815/MobileInstallation.rar.html
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JDHFKWT0
More mirrors for you to download from…
Steve, the new version of QuickPwn works fine on the new version (http://blog.iphone-dev.org/).
Another thing, I tested MobileInstallation 2.1 yesterday on my 2.2 iPod touch, and it worked fine. I chose about 20 random apps to sync to my iPod, and they all worked fine. However, I prefer to have MobileInstallation 2.2 on my 2.2 iPod, why? I’m OCD, but the other one works fine.
There are reports that you cannot upgrade an existing application unless you delete it first. Has anyone had that issue?
i had cracked apps on 2.1, upgraded to 2.2, installed the patch via cydia and nothing is working :/
iphone 2G, unlocked, jailbroken, 2.2.
i have updated to 2.2 and patched mobileinstallation…then i sync with iTunes all apps are installed but they can’t open.,anyone who can help pls??
I’m on a 2nd gen jailbroked iPhone 2.2 and i’m trying to SSH into my phone with WinSCP but its telling me access denied… any ideas?
i used username: root and password: alpine which i guess doesn’t work anymore…
The first Link “MobileInstallation patch for 2.2″ for the 2.2 firmware worked fine for me!
Thanks for the great info. Now I will load my phone with new apps.
Thanks

ViRuS, try to restart your iphone, if it give u the same error , just download any free application from appstore through itunes and install it on your iphone then restart…
hi… Where do i open::
“/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework”??
is that on my iPhone or my Computer??
Please help me!
1. First you must have jailbroken your iPhone.
2. On your iPhone: Via Installer or Cydia get OpenSSH.
3. On your computer: Get for example WinSCP on (Windows), fugu (on mac)
4. After you have installed the program on your computer launch it and log in.
The iPhone must be connected to your WiFi-network and then you can log in with your iPhone’s IP-adress.
username: root
password: alpine
5. Now you are connected to your iPhone via your computer over WiFi.
In WinSCP or fugu you now can navigate to:
“/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework”??
For those who can’t find Installer or Cydia after QuickPwn, try to restore again and jailbrake/unlock. When your done with the jailbrake/unlock DO NOT sync with iTunes yet.
Install OpenSSH and ad the mobile installation patch.
You can also add Poofapp (search on google for the zip) in the Applications folder. I believe that icons are missing because you used categories or poofapp before restoring to hide your icons.
Now you can sync with your iTunes backup and still use SSH
If you have poofed cydia, installer, categories, poofapp you can try to download appflow and start poofapp from there. search on google and put it in the Applications folder on your iPhone via SSH
I had problems with installing regular appstore apps and updates on firmware 2.2 when this package was installed. Removing the package fixes all of my issues and I’m still able to install cracked apps with Installous.
Hey, I’m having the same problem as Arthur. Just wanted to know if anybody had a fix for this problem. I need my updates! lol
Since upgrading and jailbreaking 2.2, my app store apps do not update from the phone. They begin downloading and then never make any progress until i restart. I can update them through itunes and sync them over, but only if I’ve deleted them from the phone first.
Are the mobileinstaller 2.2 links on this page legit?
This is just a pain in my ass…
Thanks !!!

Hi, I managed to reinstall back all the ipa cracked games using the second link of mobileinstallation 2.2 for my new upgraded FW2.2. They work fine and the wonderful part is, those games that I not yet finished are all sync back-ed from iTunes and I can continue the games to the next level without replay them again.
Bravo, thanks for providing the mobileinstallation patch, I love you man!!!
Sebastien I am trying to upgrade my iPhone to 2.2 and I have tried to download the patch you have posted, but it doesn’t seem to be working, is there an alternate download where I can get this file from?
@Steven - I posted 2 links to MI 2.2 and from what I understand, you can use the MobileInstallation 2.1 so there are plenty of files from you to choose from

MobileInstallation file for 2.2.1 ->
http://bbs.pockoo.com/thread-12129-1-1.html
Chinese !
Is anybody else having problems with updating their FREE APPS from Apple? Directly or through syncing? I am having problems. Each time, there’s an update of any application I always need to delete that from my iPhone first and then I need to install the updated one which ends up being so stupid! I have categories so I always need to remove my icon from categories then delete it and then download an updated copy, so many steps. Does any know the solution to that? Also, has anybody updated their firmware to 2.2.1 and tried a compatible MobileInstallation file? Also, some chap whom I was playing a game with talked about Installous. I always SSH into my phone as I am comfortable with that but the lad said it was much easier to use Installous. What the hell is that?
Dude! You’re getting free apps and you’re still complaining?!!? That’s insane! For the info, it is normal that you have to uninstal/reinstal apps all the time when there is an update. It’s just the way it is.
So… My iPhone 3G is running on software 2.2.1 and MobileInstallation 2.2, but my friends iP 3G is running on 2.2.1, and i have some freaky problems with MobileInstallation ver. 2.2.
Now, I’m looking for some differences betwen them.
Listen Sebastien! Ecouter attentivement! Or in this case, ready carefully! I am not complaining. I just wanted to know if this was a normal behaviour or if I were doing something wrong? God, kids these days are so jumpy. Vive le Québec libre..happy?
@whatever - I’m French, not French Canadian… Good try though
Fine! Vive la France! Québec has a penis eh? LA! Et France, not so much Hehe.. just pulling your leg mate!
Someone knows where can i get the mobile installation patch for firmware 1.1.4
Help plz!!!
I tried everything and am unable to get it working. I did everything possible, I have Firmware 2.2.1 and used the same patch, set all the permissions, cracked everything, nothing seems to work. it keeps saying, “The application XXX cannot be opened.” any help will be greatly appreciated. thank you.
-Emergency Screen With iPhone 2g Tmobile Sim Card After QuickPwn-
Ran QuickPwn 3 times and successfully jailbroke the my iPhone 2g. Had access to Cydia and etc.
1st time installed QuickPwn without Tmobile sim card, used the AT&T card. Then I placed the Tmobile card in to receive the emergency screen.
2nd time, did the same thing and received the same message.
3rd time, installed QuickPwn with the Tmobile sim in the phone from the beginning and still received the message.

i have one ipod touch 2.2.1 and i want to know if that patch for iphone works on ipod touch
Hi, I replaced the MobileInstallation Patch directly on my iPod Touch 2G without backing up the original one. I downloaded the MobileInstaillation Patch for iPhone 2.2.1 from here. Now the App tab in iTunes doesn’t show up and neither is my iPod Touch able to detect WiFi Network.
Help!
1st
I fixed my problem , I just upgraded to 2.2.1 and then jailbreak it
@shadez
i think the only option is to reinstall everything again because even if you downgrade , your MobileInstallation file it will be the patched one.
maybe theres another solution i dont known
please help
i replaced it with the patch file (iphone 3g 2.2.1)
but when i go in an app. it says The app **** can not be opened

No, you need to update the firmware to 2.2 and then use the patched 2.2 MobileInstallation

The 3rd MobileInstallation Version is not working. for the Official release of apple’s firmware.
When you will replace the file, iTunes won’t recognize yours device connection.
But If you will replace the file back to the original one, it will identify your device instantly
(luckly I backed up my file)
Sp we are still waiting for the final WORKING version of MobileInstallation.
Take Care !
as for iPhone OS 3.0 please use AppSync to patch the MobileInstallation.
Add a new source to Cydia (http://cydia.hackulo.us) and search for AppSync. This patch will do everything automatically.
pls upload in mediafire the patch for 3.0, hackulo site is blocked here
thought i’d leave this here for people that happen by like i did. add the source to cydia
(NOT ICY), go to source, install appsync. REBOOT, you’re done. i tried it, it works perfectly. the appulo.us website seems to be down, so i tested by using a cracked ipa i already had on hand. game runs very smoothly no problems.
pls upload original MobileInstallation for 3.0.. thx
mobileinstallation 3.0 work with ipod touch 2G ?
the link doesn work
MobileInstallation patch for 3.0 Beta (supposedly works on the official 3.0 firmware)
Hey, when will MobileInstalaton patch for 3.0, which i can add to iphone from computer?
You don’t have to go through the ordeal of doing the method above any more. You can just go to hackulo.us and find their repository. Then add that into Cydia. Download from their repo, a software called AppSync 3.0. Voilà! You’re done!
hi the following is the error i get while installing AppSync for 3.0:
“hash sum mismatch”
after this it will go back to cydia and without installing the it
please help what can i do
p.s.there is something wrong with the link :
“”ERROR
This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector’s Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.
This limit is reached.
