How to upload downloaded games/apps to your iPod Touch
If you have a downloaded game or app with the .IPA extension name, you can easily put them on your iPod Touch. Here’s a guide on how to do just that.
It is important that you have a jailbroken iPod touch first because you need Cydia for this one.
Install miPatch or AppSync
Installing miPatch (for 2.2.1) or AppSync 3.0 (for 3.0) or AppSync 3.1 (for 3.1.x) will allow you to put .IPA files in iTunes so you can sync it with your iPod. You can find the installer in Hackulo.us.
1. First open Cydia and go to Manage.
2. Click Sources.
3. Click Edit then Add.
4. On the URL field, enter http://cydia.hackulo.us then click Add Source.
5. It should appear in the Sources page. Go ahead and click Done then click Hackulo.us.
6. Click miPatch Firmware 2.2.1 to download and install it. If you’re already on OS 3.0, use AppSync for OS 3.0 instead or AppSync 3.1 for OS 3.1.x, or AppSync 4 for iOS4.
When you’re done, it’s time to look for some apps and games.
If you can’t install miPatch for some reason, try MobileInstallation Patch instead. In step 4, enter http://iphone.org.hk/apt/ then search for the MobileInstallation Patch and install that.
Where to get cracked games and apps
UPDATE: Appulo.us seems to be dead already so head to Apptrackr.org instead.
To download cracked apps and games, head to Appulo.us. You can search for your favorite games/apps or browse through their huge collection. When you click on a title, a window will appear onscreen pointing you to its permanent page.
When you scroll down, you will see a list of sites where the file can be downloaded. The IPA’s can be downloaded from different online file storage service.
When you’re finished downloading the .IPA files, it’s time to put them into your iPod.
Uploading your .IPA to your iPod
This one’s really simple that I won’t bother posting screenshots.
1. Open iTunes.
2. Drag the .IPA onto the Applications section.
3. Sync your iPod.
4. Enjoy!
That’s it. This is one of the main reason why people jailbreak their iPod. Of course, you should pay for your apps and games to receive support and upgrades. Besides, sometimes the cracked version won’t work well.

itunes update is 9.2.1 is that still safe for jailbroken ipod touch?
yup. i’m on 9.2.1 and 3.1.2 jb’d touch.
i can’t seem to find miPatch on hackulo
appsync 3.1
appsync 3.2
appsync 4.0 – i chose this cause im on ios4
hackulous security
installous
metadataremovr
source gui
that’s all in hackulous. what should i do?
you chose the right app. appsync 4.0.
i also installed installous, then i tried downloading plants vs zombies, the download went well but when after installing, i tested it. it only showed the popcam logo then boom, went back on my springboard. i downloaded another cracked app via installous then i just got same results.
try downloading it to your PC via Apptrackr.org then put it in iTunes and sync. if it still doesn’t work, are you on iOS4? maybe the cracked PvZ you got is not made for iOS4. Tough luck if that’s the case.
bro,
this article is very useful, thanks. question lang. are you familiar with the game puzzlequest? anyway, it’s a trilogy but the game release is only chapters 1 & 2. the catch is that in order to finish the game you have to purchase the 3rd chapter in the in-app option within the game. i bought the game legally in my iTunes account & when i tried purchasing the 3rd chapter (via in-app), the option sandbox environment appears. if you recall, i had a query a few weeks back about the in-app game options…
fortunately, with your tutorials i installed installous from cydia & have been downloading apps there without a hitch. i bought the same game there (puzzlequest) & just out of curiosity, i tried the in-app purchase thing & IT WORKED! i now have 3 chapters of the game. my question is: Will the purchase reflect on my legit iTunes account or has a hacker gained information on my account details when i did the in-app purchase? natatakot ako baka bigla na lang dumating ang credit card bill ko na may kung anu-anong purchases. thanks in advance.
i think what happened there is that they purchased the in-game chapter before exporting the game into an ipsw so that’s why kumpleto na yung sayo. nice!
Oh, okay. thanks! hehe, na-praning ako, also tried it with other games nakalusot din. although sa fieldrunners ayaw, hehe. baka pag ibang version ang i-dl at install ko. thanks bro, you’ve been a very big help!
pajo yung mi patch? Di ko sya makita eh maski dun sa alternate link mo
ney kung may appsync ka na di mo na kelangan mipatch. pareho lang ginagawa nun. ok na yung appsync 4. i tried it sa ios4 ko and gumagana naman.
I dragged the .ipa file on to itunes and nothing happened. what am i doing wrong?
check your apps section in itunes, maybe it’s already there. if you’re doing something wrong there should be an error message.
