As you may know, the best working jailbreak ‘JailbreakMe’ by Comex is now out for jailbreaking iPhone, iPod touch running iOS4, and iPad running 3.2.1/3.2 firmware.
If you’ve jailbroken your iOS device, then it’s time now to install “AppSync” which works with iOS 4.0/4.0.1 firmware. AppSync patches the MobileInstallation file of iOS4 and allows users to manually install .ipa files like cracked games and apps on their iPhone and iPad.
Note: Before installing Appsync, make sure you have jailbroken your iPhone, iPod touch running iOS 4, or iPad with iOS 3.2.1/3.2. To jailbreak these devices check the below links:
- Jailbreak iPhone 3GS, 3G iOS 4/4.0.1 and iPod Touch 3G, 2G (MC & non-MC) iOS 4 with JailbreakMe
- Jailbreaking iPhone 4 iOS 4.0.1/4 with JailbreakMe
- How to Jailbreak iPad iOS 3.2.1/3.2 with JailbreakMe
Follow the steps below to install AppSync on iOS4 –
1. Goto: Cydia > Manage > Sources > Edit > Add
2. Enter the URL and click Add Source.
3. Wait for the SiNfuL repository to get added.
4. When installation gets completed, tap the Search tab in Cydia and search for “appsync”. Install the app named “AppSync for OS 4.x”.
Note: If you have an iPad running iOS 3.2.1/3.2 then you need to install ‘AppSync for OS 3.2’.
5. Wait for the process to complete and it will ask to reboot after installation is over.
After rebooting, you’ll be able to install .ipa files directly to your device. To install .ipa files, just connect your device to the computer and run iTunes. Now double-click the desired IPA file to add it to iTunes, Sync to install it on iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.

i don’t think your guide is correct. I just jailbreak and upgrade to 4.0.1 and try to install appsync via cydia. Unfortunately, it doesn’t allow 4.01. to install. think it only allow 4.0 to install. this is flawed!
Thanks for confirming Eve. I tried it on 4.0 and thought it works for 4.0.1 too. You must wait for AppSync 4.0.1 as Hackulous repo also doesn’t have it yet.
Thanks a lot for the guide, works perfect for version 4.0 not sure about 4.0.1. I just want to say that if it still doesnt work try creating a new windows user account and do it from the itunes in that profile or if possible your second pc. Sometimes itunes gets pretty messed up with time as with mine, had to boot into my other OS and run itunes there. Anyhoo great guide!
Does this work for iphone 4??
Yes, it works for iphone 4 and with other devices running on iOS4.
I have and ipod touch 3g 8gb (i know it is not actually 3g, but it is an MC model) already jailbroken…if i upgrade it to iOS4 before using jailbrakeme, will i loose all my cracked apps?
I mean…i got apps like games that have saved files that i cannot, or do not know how to, backup…
I also have the same device and lost everything after upgrading to iOS4 by manually restoring. So do backup before doing anything!!
To Backup, connect your device and run iTunes. Right-click device and select: Backup, Sync and Transfer purchases back to back. This will backup all the data except cracked app from cydia. Though, you cracked games will be there.

Btw.. updating to iOS4 is not a fair deal for iPod touch users because you’ll hardly notice any big difference.
Thanks man…helped a lot!
i know that it doesnt make much of a difference for ipod users, but i still like to give it a try!!
thanks again!
I have IPad version 3.2.1. But don’t know how to sync crack apps to my IPad? Help me!
Just search ‘AppSync for OS 3.2’ in cydia and install it using the above procedure on your iPad. Syncing and installing .ipa files manually is told in the last paragraph, just check.
Yes. I tried everything OS 3.2, OS 4.x, OS 3.1x and OS 3.0 but nothing work. The note show like ” The requested modifications cannot be applied due to required dependencies or conflicts that can’t be automatically found or fixed.” I also have IPHone 4 and try with OS 4.x and it works and can sync all the crack apps. I have no idea why not IPad verson 3.2.1 (7B405)
Yes I tried it already. I also tried OS 4.x, OS 3.2, OS 3.1.x and OS 3.0 but nothing works. I have IPhone 4 and tried it just like you said and it works. I can sync all the crack gmaes to my iphone 4. Now I have no idea why not my IPad version 3.2.1 (7B405). The note show me just like that ” The requested modifications can’t be applied due to required dependencies or conflicts that can’t be automatically found or fixed. ” Help need…
Just Reboot your iPad and then install AppSync for OS 3.2. I guess you should remove all appsync version before rebooting.
YEAHOOOO…….YES…It works now. I need to Reboot Thanks…….
