Complete guide to getting the TomTom iPhone app working for free
Categories: Uncategorized

Step 1 : Have an iPhone. Make sure you have OS 3.0

Step 2: Jailbreak iPhone  - Follow exact instructions here: http://iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=4448

Step 3: Enter Cydia on the iPhone, go to manage, go to sources, click edit (top right), click add (top left) and type : http://cydia.hackulo.us/ (see screenshot) . Ignore Cydia’s silly warnings

Step 4: click search (bottom right), type in ‘installous’. The only result you should get is ‘Installous’(see screenshot). Click this and press ‘install’ (top right)

Step 5: click search again, type in ‘appsync’. The only result you should get is ‘AppSync’(see screenshot). Click this and press install

Step 6: Exit Cydia, and click the new installous icon. Click settings (bottom right). Change ‘Install Method’ to dirty. Toggle ‘iTunes Sync’ to On

Step 7: Download the tomtom app here: http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/125959037/tomtom+canada?tab=summary http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5058125/TomTom_US__amp__Canada_for_iPhone . If you don’t know how to use bittorrent (if you’re lost on what to do with the file) you’re in way over your head. But you made it this far so click here: http://www.wikihow.com/Download-Torrents

Step 8: Drag the app you just downloaded into iTunes

Step 9: Plug your iphone into your computer, it should now sync the app. this can take up to 40 minutes

Step 10: Unplug iPhone and run the tomtom app!

  2. criz says:

    So I got interrupted during the install and now I have 2 gigs of “Other” on my phone – does anyone know where I can go from terminal to delete the files to start over? Thanks!!

  3. Wutang911 says:

    Thank you so much from a newbie into the jailbreak scene. Your instructions were spot on.

  4. pieter says:

    after step 8 download a free app from itunes store and the problem with error when syncing is gone!
    so sync two apps at the same time

    Nice going poser. First of all, sharing this crap with the world is just stupid. If people are not smart enough to find it on their own, you should not be leading them to it. THEN you post TORRENTS? Who is the hell uses torrents other than NO SCENE POSERS?! Torrents are and always have been frowned on by release groups and REAL undergrounders. TORRENTS are one of the MAIN reasons (along with limewire and other p2p CRAP) that release groups (that supply you morons with this stuff in the first place) are getting shut down and thrown in jail all the time. TORRENTS are one of the MAIN reasons the underground isnt so damn underground anymore and piracy is so PUBLIC. I guess any idiot with a keyboard is allowed to be a part of something that was once reserved for people with SOME hacking/phishing/underground background. Keep posting this crap to ATTEMPT to convince yourself and others that read your little blog that you have some REAL knowledge and are someone that is respected in the scene just because you can post something that started with people that would spit in your face before they actually spoke to you. People like you are the reason why things are getting harder to do and THE reason why people are going to jail everyday. You have no respect for the underground, the SCENE or anyone that works their asses off to release the apps/movies/music/ipas and everything else that you idiots get from torrents. The people that release all of this DO NOT WANT THE SHIT ON TORRENTS AND NEVER RELEASE ON A TORRENT. Fake ass posers are the ones that leak all of this from the scene and then everyone with a damn keyboard is download it from torrents thinking they are underground. GET A CLUE

  6. I’m honored to have a true haxx0r, who’s clearly keeping it real, come up from the underground and tell us n00b posers just how things REALLY work down there in the seedy underbelly of the internet. Thanks for the education, thanks for putting me in my rightful place, and thank you for gracing my humble blog. Make yourself at home, and please, throw some more advice my way so that one day I might actually have a clue.

    Also, if you’d like to email me, I’d love to have you post a real post, something only the 1337 would understand. Something that would make my blog more legit. Email me at signaltheorist@gmail.com . Sorry, i only have a n00bly webmail account, I don’t have my own POP servers and I let google host my mail. In fact, I don’t even back it up.

    ACTUALLY, while we’re at it, I openly invite you to hack my blog, and change the site to say whatever you want. Have at ‘er.

    Love,

    where do i drag it in itunes?

  9. ronnie says:

    i have the tom tom on my phone but i got rid of data plan, just wondering is it possible to use it without internet option? if you could help. thanks.

  10. ronnie says:

    hi,

    can someone help with above please? my friends have been using navigon and tom tom without the data plan but i cannot, its like cell phone company totally blocked it…??? can someone help please? my email stillalive2@msn.com

  11. Stheorist says:

    Are you using a 3GS?

  12. ronnie says:

    nope it is 3g but my 2 of my friends have the same…

  13. Stheorist says:

    The problem is the 3GS has a GPS chip built into it, which allows it to track it’s location. This doesn’t exist in the other iPhones, so unless you specifically have a 3GS, it will not work

  14. ronnie says:

    when i had the data plan and was planning on getting rid of it, i took out the sim twice and drove from one city to another and it worked, then i was sure it will work without the plan, i disconnected the data and it worked for couple of days… my friends have 3g phones not 3gs and they are still able to use it without the data…

  15. Stheorist says:

    Interesting. what happens in the apps now? does google maps work?

  16. ronnie says:

    nope it isnt working either. i think when i called fido to block internet they added a gps block too… just wondering how to unblock it? :(

  17. jay says:

  19. moe says:

  20. ASIAN says:

    HELLO GUYS HERES THE FIX FOR SYNCING THE APP IS JUST DRAG THE FILE INTO MOVIES OR MUSIC AND IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY KNOW ITS AN IPA FILE THEREFORE WILL PUT IN ON APPLICATIONS AND SYNC! UR DONE AND UR WELCOME!

  21. I have noticed that Garmin product is the best gps over all. This GPS is worth every penny, easy to use and the signal is always good.

    use http://apptrackr.org/ to have latest apps

  34. Peter Parker says:

    Mr reloaded, does not seem at one with the world or spelling fishing!!

  35. smoeltje says:

    Thanks for the help, forgot how to do this and thanks to people like you I’m acutally helped, unlike reloaded says.

    @ Ronnie, your 3G also has a gps chip built inside. Just turn off dataroaming to make sure you don’t use internet at all and be sure to put your phone underneath the front window of your car to have a good fix. It works on my 3G.

    Have fun

  36. morgs says:

    Thanks. Works fine, once you read the instructions properly. :-)

  37. hung says:

    Hey guys, just have a few questions. First, I’m having trouble sync my iphone with itune. It will not automatic sync and I don’t know what to do. Second question, what is the latest version of the tomtom right now, i notice this version is 1.0.

    thanks

  38. krisostomo says:

    tanks mate… works perfect on my 3.1.2 firmware

  39. Reloader is gay says:

    Reloader is a “poser”, but he’s very cool. he found this post by googling how to add an app to a jailbroken phone, because like everyone else here, he had no clue how. But that’s ok, because he’s proved his awesome’ness by bashing the poster who helped him figure things out. Using such awful words such as “poser” and “not a real undergrounder”. Information is meant to be shared.

    My name is CRS. I use torrents, because they’re quick and easy. I am also the first person to successfully jailbreak and unlock an Iphone 3gs which has 3.1.3 firmware and a 5.12 baseband. :) Selling it on Kijiji to the highest cash bidder.

    Thanks, poser. Fuck, I meant Reloader***, my bad.

  40. Hi, I found this blog post while was searching for merchandise related information on msn and found it very good article, thanks for sharing, best regards and cheers!

  41. Marky says:

    i tried installing Installous. Get this: The requested modifications cannot be applied due to required dependencies or conflicts that cannot be automatically found or fixed. Any ideas???

  42. Slim says:

    So I tried to sync up the app with my IPhone but when I try it constantly says that my phone does not have sufficient space the app itself is 1.28GB according to itunes I have 2GB available has anyone else have this issue?

  43. ray says:

    exact same problem as Slim in the above post. anyone help ? thanks.

  44. Sohail says:

    YOU ARE THE MAIN MAN ,,,,,,,,,,,, SMASHING STUFF
    THANKS A MILL U SAVED ME 99.99 EUROS MATE

    THANKS

  45. zer0 says:

    WARNING — WARNING — WARNING

    If you use cydia to install apps and you turn the itunes sync on it will remove any app not in your itunes app list. So be prepared to redownload everything!

  46. Yo, just thought i’d say about an awesome website my brother found

    To put it briefly its giving people completely FREE iTunes gift cards!
    You don’t need to spend a penny, login, or download anything! :D
    http://www.getfreeitunescards.com

  47. This has to be one of the best reviews i’ve read in a while. Thanks matty.

  48. jh says:

    THANK YOU!!
    (RELOADER IS AN A$$HOLE!!!!!!!!)

  49. Thanks my man. This is a great tutorial. And torrents fucking rule! Reloader should take his ass back to the underground and leave us the fuck alone.

  50. Wannabe says:

    Can this work on a Touch?
    Yeah, I am an uneducated geek wannabe and sadly not in the SCENE….i feel so worthless
