Quick fixup for iPhones Jailbroken by Spirit
iFunbox relies on the AFC2 service to access the root file system of iPhones. AFC2 is usually enabled during jailbreak procedures as many previous Jailbreak tools do. If AFC2 serivce is not enabled, iFunbox will recognize it as a jailed iphone and access the file system with AFC service.
Recently iFunbox is found recognizing iPhones jailbroken by blackra1n and spirit as jailed ones. The reason is that the AFC2 service is not enabled in jailbreaking procedure.
A quick fixup is to install a tiny app from Cydia, afc2add to enable the AFC2 service on iPhone. Remember to reboot iPhone after installing.

iPod Touch 2G running JB 3.1.2 and when selecting “iPod Music & Videos” no files show and I always get the message “iTunes Database on this device not recognized”. This persists even after a clean install.

How do we get help? I downloaded your program to transfer music from my phone to my pc but when I click on iphone music/video it says “There are no items to show”. I had one computer crash on me and dont want to lose my music when I sync with my new computer.

@kristin As for now iFunBox does not support new database format on iPods/Iphones with firmware 3.x. Bear with us.
@tadad1 Send your regards to Apple for jailing your own media.
Fortunately, if you will look into [Raw File System]/private/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Music you will find all your music and videos in several directories named line “Fxy” [x and y are numbers]
Unfortunately, all the filenames are broken and you have to guess what is what. (Or look into the databeses in /private/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunes Library.itlp - Locations.itdb and Library.itdb are those, where the informations lies)

Ok I have an iphone 3GS with blackra1n and blaksn0w. I downloaded the afcd support from Cydia. And ifunbox works apparently fine but now itunes do not recognize my device. It shows me the message that tells “your SIM card is not authorized, you should put one from authorized carrier”. Its like jailbreak never done before.
So I just uninstalled the afc2 support but the problem continues…
Somebody can help me…

Help!!! I’ve been using your program for the past month but when I tried to use it last night, it says my device is not connected. This didn’t happen before. I’m currently on the FW 3.0.1 jailbroken 3GS. Is it because of the new update 3.1.2 and itunes 9.0.2? Do I need to update in order to use it again? I hope not….please let me know what I should do. Thank you

On a daily basis I need to store large files on my iPhone. SSHing into the phone via wifi is not feasible due to slow transfer speeds. Yes, I know there are a number of s/w’s (winscp-itunnel, “ifunbox”, etc) that will get the job done via the usb calbe. However, the major downside with with the above options is that you need iTunes installed on the PC you plan on transferring files to/from. I’m sure it’s understandable that this is more than just an inconvenience.
Can a dev provide me with the appropriate drivers that I can install into the PC so that it reads the iPhone as a “iPhone” and not a camera, which is what a PC recognizes an iPhone when iTunes is not installed. This would be a much better option that installing the 70/80 odd MB iTunes on each PC I interact with.
Packaging these “drivers” along with i-funbox would be a better more feasible idea. Possible?

Iphone 2g with 3.1.2 jailbroke using blackra1n and installed the afc2add but funbox still cant find the apple mobile device runtime support….am i missing something is there a toggle or feature i have to click to enable the afc2add? my cousin jailbroke his ipod touch 2g with blackra1n and has 3.1.2 os and on his pc it works fine….tried to plug his into my pc and it wont recognize his ipod touch either…does it have something to do with me running windows 7 64bit cause i even tried running funbox in XP/vista compatibility mode?

This is a great software, needless to say.
To expect more, can we see the file size in the future?
Thank you.

Great catch 22 situation here.
I installed i-Funbox because I’ve had a problem with Cydia crashing and automatically exiting before I can do something. I’d narrowed the solution down to a faulty install of an app but I can’t SSH as I have no wifi so i-Funbox seemed to be the solution. I am seriously lacking in funds at the moment and so a wi-fi router, though cheap, is on the end of quite a long list of more important things to use my money on. Perhaps I could ask for one as a birthday present.
I thought installing i-Funbox was a good way to access the files I needed in the meantime but now I find I can’t use it unless I simply enter cydia and install something. NOT being able to enter cydia was my reason for downloading i-Funbox in the first place.
To put it bluntly: AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[...] i-FunBox V0.98 is just out now. It is a stable version with much more tests on both Windows XP and Windows 7. The major new feature in this version is the general purpose files searching like windows explorer does. This version introduce several new texts on UI, we call for UI translation again.
