Install Installous & Cracked Apps on iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad Without Wifi Access

Here is a quick tip for those who wan't to install cracked apps on their iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad without a WiFi connection. As all cracked App Store apps have .IPA extension, so you must install first Installous which can then be used to install the cracked IPA files. All you need is a jailbroken iPhone and an active internet connection on your desktop PC or Mac.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Hackulo.us repo is now officially gone, so you won't be able to download Installous from the repository anymore. As an alternative, you can use other Cydia repos to download AppSync from: (Best Cydia Repos 2011, Best Cydia Repos 2012, Best Cydia Repos 2013). Better yet, you can use other alternatives that will let you download cracked iPhone apps.


Installous 4.4.1 Without Wifi or SSH Install Installous & Cracked Apps on iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad Without Wifi Access
As you don't have a WiFi router, so you can't SSH into your iDevice using WinSCP or CyberDuck. To install Installous DEB file, you can either use USB tunneling to SSH or simply use iPhone Explorer which allows you to explore filesystem on your iDevice without SSH'ing into it.

Steps to Install Installous without WiFi or SSH Access:

  1. Download iPhone Explorer for your jailbroken iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad from here
  2. Download Installous latest DEB file from here.
  3. Download this ZIP file and extract all the DEBs in it on your desktop.
  4. Download AppSync for 4.0+ DEB file from here if you are on iOS 4.x.x and if you are on iPhone OS 3.x.x download AppSync for 3.1 from here
  5. Connect your iDevice to your computer via USB cable, launch iPhone Explorer and navigate to the following location:
  6. Location: /var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall

    Tip: If you don't see Cydia or AutoInstall directory, create it manually.

  7. Place Installous, AppSync and other DEB files in AutoInstall directory.
  8. Install Installous DEB File Install Installous & Cracked Apps on iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad Without Wifi Access

  9. Reboot your iDevice.

Steps to Install Cracked Apps without WiFi or SSH Access:

  1. Go to AppTracker and download the cracked IPA file.
  2. Once you have the IPA file, connect your iPhone to your computer again and launch iPhone Explorer. Navigate to the following location and place IPA file in Downloads directory.
  3. Location: /var/mobile/Documents/Installous/Downloads

    Install IPA Files without SSH or Wifi Install Installous & Cracked Apps on iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad Without Wifi Access

  4. Reboot your iPhone and launch Installous.
  5. Go to the Download tab at the bottom, tap on the cracked app you want to install and choose Install option from the pop-up menu.

    Hi,

    I tried this with 1 apps and it works!!
    I used TouchCopy to browse/create the folders.
    I am currently transfering all apps that I want to install on my iTouch.

    One last question, after all the apps are installed.. can I delete all the .ipa files I copied on the folder Location: /var/mobile/Documents/Installous/Downloads ??

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 5 months ago

      Yes, once you have completed the installation, you can safely delete them from your Installous folder.

    So I managed to get Installous on my iphone after a couple of tries and tweaks(thanks to users who provided solutions) and I transferred an ipa file to my installous' downloads folder, did the rebooting, and tried to install the ipa, but Installous just quits and goes back to my home screen. Been trying it the past few hours, still can't get it to install. Anyone facing the same problem? And help, anyone? TIA.

    My error is with the very last step. When installing the app from installous I get a message saying NPOSIXErrorDomain Code=13. Every thing I've read seems to say I am supposed to change the file permissions but I have yet to find a way to do this without wifi.

    this may help. I had the same problem on the first try. i saw installous and app syn in the cydia packages after reboot but no installous app icon on the display. i deleted the installed installous package under cydia then repeat everything except i did not copy the appsync deb. after reboot i can see the installous icon and everythings works going forward

    Hi,

    First off all, thanks for the tutorial... But it hasn't worked for me.
    I have a JailBroken 3G (with redsnw0n), with a 4.2.1 firmware, I have installed Cydia and followed every step you described, but after installing the .deb files I can't access the Iphone through Itunes/Diskaid/Iphone Explorer and I can't even access some features in General Settings.
    Have you ever come across a similar problem?

    Cheers

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 6 months ago

      Nope, haven't been across such an issue. Are you sure this started happening right after you installed the .deb file & that you have installed the right version for the iOS that your currently running?

    plz help me!
    i'm using ipod(3rd gen)!

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 6 months ago

      Are you sure that it isn't being restricted ? Check under Settings->General->Restrictions to make sure that the relevant options are enabled / toggled to ON for Installous.

    Kev1 year, 6 months ago

    why does the deb file delete themselves when i reboot my idevice?

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 6 months ago

      Because it auto-installs them at each reboot of your device after you have placed the respective debs in the AutoInstall folder.

      Make sure AppSync is installed & just download those IPAs you wish to have onto your desktop & sync it back to your iPhone instead via iTunes. Why use Installous in the first place?

    When i dragged the ipa file to ifunbox, then rebooted and when tried to install the file through installous i am getting the following error.

    Please provide me a solution for this

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 9 months ago

      Why are you using iFunBox to install IPAs in the first place? All you need to do is sync them into your iDevice via iTunes & nothing else. Your apps are getting deleted only because you do not have them in your iTunes Apps library. Make sure that you have installed Installous as well.

    Sir, i just jailbreak my 4.3.5 ipod 4g with Redsn0w0.9.8b4, and I think i got all my cracked apps working. (Big thanks for your guide above)

    But what happened is, everytime my device is off (due to low battery, or even switched off), all my apps won't work at all. The thing is, I tried to use redsn0w once again, and booted my device, and then voilaaa,, the apps worked again.

    Can you tell me, what happened to my ipod ? why everytime it turned off, the apps wont work anymore ?

    Thanks

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 9 months ago

      Nothing has happened to your iPT4G. iOS 4.3.5 currently has only a tethered JB. Therefore, you need to follow the same procedure each time you reboot your device. This is called a tethered JB.

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 9 months ago

      If its the iPad2, well your then out of luck, but if its the iPad1 that you have, you can only use a tethered JB as of now if in case you don't have any SHSH blobs saved for your device on Cydia. looks like your having the iPad2.

  •  
    Jose1 year, 9 months ago

    Will this work for iPad 2?

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 9 months ago

      You will need to buy it off Cydia's store. None of the Celeste cracks out there right are working perfectly, so you might have to wait for quite sometime. You can download IPA files from http://apptrackr.org.

    again thanks & more power to this site ^_^

    •

      Yes, you possibly could install SBSettings as well as anything else you may need using an offline Cydia alternative on your PC called Cyder 2. Read this.

    Ninja1 year, 9 months ago

    1. Install appsync 4 from cydia
    2. Download apps from appcake
    3. The apps automatically open in iTunes
    4. Sync with iTunes and apps appear!

    Ps I'm not sure if installous is needed or not, just check if the method above doesn't work

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 9 months ago

      Its all the same. The main element in play here is AppSync which allows you to sync the cracked apps back onto your device successfully.

  •  
    Cipii1 year, 10 months ago

    I did everythin exactly as you wrote it, but when I go to the var/mobile there is no "Documents" folder neither "Installous" anywhere. Whats supposted to mean? Sm1 plx answer
    Btw.
    I tried with funbox but I had no much luck there 2
    And i got iPod Touch 4g, 4.3.4 iOS, i tried both with 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 versions of installous but there are no folders

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 10 months ago

      Do you have Installous installed first? Have you tried running it atleast once? If you have, then you need to create the folder path if its not existing.

  •  
    Aqil1 year, 10 months ago

    i did evrything till step 7. now cydia wont start, i cant find installous, i cant find 'documents' in /var/mobile. i checked in /Root Directory/Applications and I cant find Installous.app directory.

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 10 months ago

      Have you installed Installous? If you have, then you need to create the folder path if its not existing. Make sure that you have run Installous atleast once after the install.

    Eli1 year, 10 months ago

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 10 months ago

      Use iFunBox instead as an alternative to iPhoneExplorer. Download it from here.

  •  
    DanZ1 year, 10 months ago

    I got it all ok.... i just restore it and jailbreak again... and now its ok... maybe its a conflict cause i used first the iphone explorer and when i create the Cydia and AutoInstall folder it returns to untitled folder... and then i delete it and create again but same thing happend... thats why i decided to use diskaid.. i did it correctly but thats what happened so i decided to refresh it again to its original setting and jailbreak again and i use the diskaid to install the appsync and installous... and it became ok...

    Because when I downloaded it from http://www.appleiso.com and installed in in my iPod Touch 4G via iTunes but it caused an error.
    NOW I AM CONFUSED I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO INSTALL APPS FROM 1 MONTH

    SO PLEASE REPLY!!!

      You need to install something called AppSync from Cydia before you can start directly installing the .IPAs. Follow this guide http://bit.ly/pbCS8A.

    i am not able to transfer the deb files to the folder.. it is showing invalid directory

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 10 months ago

      Use iFunBox instead to transfer them to your iPhone. Download it from here.

    I did all the steps that you said......but when I add all the deb files as per your instructions and reboot my device......i loose all my preinstalled applications........phone, messanger, camera, etcc.....

      Seems like alot of users are finding this issue. Right now, what you can do is to restore completely to a fresh iOS and install Installous via the Wi-Fi. Avoid the manual installation method.

    hi... i have a problem... i did all the instructions correctly... and i can install ipa files without a problem... the only problem is that may safari,music,video and mail icons and some other default apps in my ipodtouch has vanished.... what will i do to have it back..? i try to restore it in my itunes but still the icons is still gone.... hope you can help me... thanks... there is 1 thing im thinking of what the problem is.. i think its the deb files in step 3... cause it's only for iphoneos.... do you have any other idea where to download the deb files for the ipod touch...? thanks...

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 10 months ago

      You might need to do a complete fresh installation of your iOS and make sure you restore all your apps/games/music manually and not directly from your previous backup. Its most likely caused by some theme that you might have downloaded and installed using Winterboard. Or are you telling that this happened only after you tried installing Installous? Are you sure?

    When i try and create the "Cydia" and "AutoInstall" files and try drag the files to it, it says 'file or directory not found' please help! I have a jailbroken 3GS running 4.3.3
    Also, after this it reverts back to ‘untitled folder’

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 10 months ago

      Guess something's wrong with iPhoneExplorer. Use iFunBox instead. Download it from here & your good to go.

    Thanks for the life saving tutorials... was just about to hang myself with my usb cable here in japan when I saw all the errors and refused connections on cydia @_@ haha. I was able to install the ipa files thru itunes after putting all the deb files on the iDevice. Thanks again

  •  
    Frustrated1 year, 10 months ago

    Thanks. I installed the apps through iTunes, and they work great. Is it possible to remove Installous since I won't be needing it?

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 10 months ago

      Yep. Install CyDelete from Cydia itself. Once done, uninstall Installous just like how you would uninstall an AppStore/any other app.

  •  
    Frustrated1 year, 10 months ago

    Yes. I fixed the naming. Now I have problems with installing the apps. I try to install them through Installous like you said, but Installous crashes every time I try. Everything else looks fine. Any ideas?

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 10 months ago

      If its not working, then try this. Download the IPA file for your iDevice from http://apptrackr.org and sync it back to your iDevice with iTunes. It'll still install it just like how Installous would do it for you.

  •  
    Frustrated1 year, 10 months ago

    I'm unable to name the folder under "Cydia" "AutoInstall". I tried renaming the folder several times, but it would always revert back to "Untitled Folder." I am able to drag all of the .deb files onto the "Untitled Folder", but I still cannot rename it "AutoInstall." Please help, thanks.

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 10 months ago

      Did you try the native F2 method as well for renaming the folder?

  •  
    Twenty1 year, 10 months ago

    Thanks.

  •  
    Twenty1 year, 10 months ago

    It renames but when I refresh it, it changes back to "Untitled folder".

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 10 months ago

      Don't refresh directly. Once you rename the folder, just click somewhere in the white folder space to make the changes.

  •  
    Twenty1 year, 10 months ago

    HELP!!! I can't change the "untitled folder" to "AutoInstall" under "Cydia"

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 10 months ago

      just right click on the folder you created and hit Rename. Else press F2 once the created folder is highlighted.

    I have the installous and the appsync and everything through them worked fine ,but when i download a cracked .ipa file to my desktop and then try to install it through itune since i have the appsync, it gives me that the app couldn't be installed you have to autorize your computer

    •

    Hello guys,

    I made every thing until the last step:

    (Go to AppTracker and download the cracked IPA file. )
    in this link I can no see how to download the IPA files even in the search do not show any app with the extension .ipa

    Can someone help me please?

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 11 months ago

      By cracked IPA, we mean the application that you would like to install on your iDevice w/o the AppStore intervention. These apps are of the extension .ipa. You'll need to download the apps individually from http://apptrackr.org onto your desktop and then transfer them to you iDevice via iTunes.

    I don't see Media folder under Root...

    So, I tried add manually all 3 folders (Media/Cydia/AutoInstall) - wont work.

    But, i did not install Cydia at all when jailbreaking with pwnage tool. Maybe it got to do something with this?

    SOS

    •  
      Tester1 year, 11 months ago

      All fine now, just needed to jailbreak again but to include Cydia this time.
      Works fine. Thanks!

    •  
      Pramod1 year, 11 months ago

      Yes, it does have everything to do with the installation of Cydia. Only then will it create its roots and dependency folders across the iOS which will help you to AutoInstall. If you install Cydia, the location will be auto created uptil the Media folder. You'll need to continue making your folders from there and drop in the IPA's. Choose Cydia the next time while restoring using PT/ run Redsn0w instead over the current jailbreak only with the "Install Cydia" option ticked.

    i have ipodtouch 2g jailbroken with greenpoison

      Which iOS version are you running on your iPod? Have you downloaded and copied the right version of Installous for your iOS?

        I am currently running on iOS 4.2.1

          •  
            Pramod1 year, 11 months ago

            Something's wrong here. You tried to jailbreak your iOS 3.x.x using Greenpois0n ? Greenpois0n never supported a 3.x.x iOS version. You havent jailbroken your iPhone just yet. You'll need to use Redsn0w 0.9.4 instead to get your iPhone 2G jailbroken.

        •  
          Pramod1 year, 11 months ago

          Something is very wrong here. Your telling me that you used Greenpois0n to jailbreak your iPhone 2G on iOS 3.x.x? Well, Greenpois0n is an outdated solution for the iOS 3.x. The easiest way to get your iPhone 2G jailbroken/unlocked is the Custom FW option from here http://bit.ly/iFSlZj. Download the custom FW and Restore to it. This'll get you jailbroken & unlocked. After this, try out Installous and it'll work good for you. :)

            and yes it is jailbroken because i get the custom logo(greenpoison one) after the apple logo
            please help

          •  
            Pramod1 year, 11 months ago

            Okies. Since that's the case, the jailbreak has gone well. You'll need to tap the Loader.app and Install Cydia from there and complete the jailbreak (You'll need a Wi-Fi connection). Sorry, my bad. Thought your running an iP2G.

      If you mean to say you cant find the Downloads folder in the location here, /var/mobile/Documents/Installous/Downloads, you can go ahead and create one with the folder name Downloads. That'll work just fine. :)

        I have, but will keep trying I think its just the iPhone though since I upgraded the baseband its just been problems.

        •

          Nopsi. It has nothing to do with the baseband. Perhaps re-installing AppSync will fix this issue.

    Once you have the IPA file, connect your iPhone to your computer again and launch iPhone Explorer. Navigate to the following location and place IPA file in Downloads directory.

    YES! finally figured it out, installous was such a waste of time, way better off using itunes, just double click the ipa file and it will go in to your itune apps, and than sync!

    •  
      Wolverine2 years ago

      That is only possible because you installed AppSync offline :)

    •  
      Wolverine2 years ago

      Winterboard have lot of dependencies. You need DEB files for all of those dependencies. Yep, this guide http://bit.ly/dVYmJF is still valid if you want to install Winterboard without Wifi or Cydia provided that you have DEB files of all of its dependencies.

        •  
          Wolverine2 years ago

          Yep! If you do not want to install Installous on your iDevice and want to install cracked IPA using iTunes instead then you must install AppSync using the above method. Along with AppSync, you must install the necessary DEB files in step 3. Once again thanks for confirming me that this method actually works :D
