How to Install Super Monkey Ball on iPhone 2.0

Unless you use Cydia, there’s no other way to install iPhone 2.0 apps without going through iTunes and you can definitely forget about installing official first party apps that way… or can you? Some ingenious hackers have manage to crack the official first party Super Monkey Ball app from Sega, turning the $9.99 game into a free one. Want to learn how to install SMB on your own 2.0 iPhone for free? The steps are fairly involved, meaning there’s no silver bullet Pwnage-like application to do it for you, but the reward is worth the effort. For those of you who remain unfazed, read on.
- Download the ~35MB cracked version of Super Monkey Ball. and unzip the package which will be a “Monkey Ball.app” folder.
- Get your iPhone connected to your wireless network and find out your iPhone’s IP address.
- Your iPhone needs to be running 2.0 firmware and be jailbroken. So you must have Cydia installed. Download and install OpenSSH and optionally Toggle SSH for your iPhone.
- OpenSSH should be running on your iPhone now. For added security, Toggle SSH allows you to enable or disable the SSH daemon. While it’s disabled, no one will be able to SSH into your iPhone. But since you’re going to do this, make sure you enable it.
- FTP to your iPhone, logging in as user “root” with password “alpine.”
- Copy “Monkey Ball.app” folder to your iPhone’s “/Applications” folder using your FTP program (NOT /var/mobile/Applications!!). If you don’t see it, manually type it in the path to get there. Set the permissions on this folder to 775. Permissions can be set in a similar manner to this FileZilla screenshot. This dialog was brought up by right clicking on the “Monkey Ball.app” folder on the iPhone and selecting “File Attributes…” Also note that while installing you need to keep your iPhone from going to sleep so surf the web or something while the files transfer.
- After the copy completes create the folder “/var/mobile/Documents.” Set the permissions on this folder to 777.
- Close your FTP program. If you installed Toggle SSH, you can disable the SSH daemon. Turn your iPhone off and then back on and enjoy free Super Monkey Ball.
- Update for 2.1 users: Reader bowie_catapult_bowie figured out how to get the app to work on newly upgraded 2.1 firmware. Read his steps to find out how:
it works on 2.1 – but it takes some fiddling. after following the instructions here to the letter, the icon (and the icon for crash bandicoot) didn’t show up on my springboard, but they did show up in the list for my Poof app and in Categories. — So I moved the apps into a folder in Categories and they showed up there, but wouldn’t launch. I then opened BossPrefs and used the “Fix User Dir Permissions” function. After this, with restarts between basically every step, both Monkey Ball and Crash work as usual! :)
Big thanks bowie_catapult_bowie!

this is fu**ing amazing! I’ll do it now!
Cant get it to work. Click on icon open and close the game. I follow each step by step instructions. Did I do something wrong?
Make sure permissions are set not just on the folder but recursively on its contents as well. Or download the zip again, delete it all from your iPhone, and try again.
I cant seem to get it to work either.. same thing, it opens then closes right away
I initially had this problem too so I deleted, re-downloaded, and reinstalled following exactly every step. Worked for me.
Will this trick work on a newly jailbroken 2.0.1?
It doesn’t matter how you got jailbroken 2.0 firmware installed on your iPhone, once you are on it these steps will work.
Are the Permission Values really needed because I’m using DiskAid and free file transfering program I got off download.com which doesn’t allow me to do that.
They are needed, no skipping steps.
Dude use putty its an open source ssh client and believe me its the best
Dude use putty its an open source ssh client and it the best
if the app opens then closes real quick, make sure you correctly set the permissions RECURSIVELY. that was my problem anyways.
Thanks for the tutorial. Very nice.
Sure you can use putty… if you enjoy typing stuff on the command prompt like “ssh -l root myphone” or “chmod 755 -R mydir”. But if you’re not very Linux-savvy, FTP is the way to go.
i tried to install it on a 2.0.1 jailbroken iphone 3g. the part it says create a var folder. where am i suppose to create this folder?
Create the Documents folder, /var/mobile already exists. Type it in your FTP path.
For whatever reason, i had to disconnect my SSH connection between my iPhone and Fugu (the mac app) while i was transferring the file. I tried again and simply ‘replaced’ the ‘Monkey Ball.app’ file, but with a few error messages… I let it go through and booted it up after and it actually works right now. But because i’m a little sketched out that some files didn’t transfer, i’d like to uninstall and install again. How do i remove the Monkeyball.app from my ‘applications’ folder? I tried through Fugu and it said “Couldn’t remove directory: Failure”. Also, i can’t find a way to delete it while on the iPhone.
Make sure you’re logged in as root and you’re working in the correct directory (entering /Applications path in FileZilla actually took me to a different path). If all else fails you might actually need to ssh into your iPhone from your Mac terminal. At the terminal type: “ssh -l root x.x.x.x” to your iPhone’s IP address. Then enter “rm -rf /Applications/Monkey Ball.app” to remove it.
this is frustrating. i’m attempting this, but its not working for me. i enter ”rm -rf /Applications/Monkey Ball.app” and nothing happens. I also tried removing the ‘f’ and got this message :
Grey-Ham-s-iPhone:~ root# rm -r /Applications/Monkey Ball.app
rm: cannot remove `/Applications/Monkey’: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `Ball.app’: No such file or directory
It thinks its two words instead of the title of the app. grr, i’m new when it comes to using terminal.
rm -r /Applications/Monkey\ Ball.app
thanks a bunch bud
is this the exact same process that i would go through for all the other ‘cracked’ apps that are popping up all over the web?
Can’t vouch for all the other apps, but for SMB and CBNK deleting the folders “uninstalled” them.
Can you not install any apps from the iTunes app store on a unlocked/jailbroken phone?
You will still be able to install regular iTunes Apps on jailbroken iPhones.
can i do this stuff im iphone 1 gen jailbroken 114 firmware?
how can i install monkey in my phone
Sorry, all Apple App Store apps are for 2.0 firmware only.
installing goes good program loads to the point where music is playing and asks me to touch screen, then it just closes? i’ve installed now three times with the same problem, any ideas
Delete it all from your iPhone and re-download Monkey Ball and reinstall.
Hello, I have just bought an new Iphone and I wanted to know several things:
-my Iphone is currently running version 2.0.1 and I do not know how to unlock it with Ziphone. So I am now trying to downgrade it to V 1.1.4 so that its easier to unlock, but once I’ve done that, how is it possible to put some third party applications and games like Mokey balls on my Iphone?
Thanks,
i did it all i think im a newb when it comes to this stuff but when i opeoned it it would close but then i did the recursive permissions and it will make it to the touch to start screen and close out
the only way i got it working was this:
chmod everthing in and the folder itself 777.
then volia, it works!
i have followed the steps in order
applied 775 and 777 permissions to the folders recursively
yet the app icons dont show up after the restart
i am running 2.0.1 on my iphone 2g
please help….
gezz ppl Upload SMB to /APPLICATION ( the main root)
not /Var/mobile/Application
i agree with notSmart. Upload to main root not var/mobile/application. Been trying for 2 hours before i read his comment.Thx Bro!
iPhone 1st Gen 8gb.
Firmware 2.0.2
hay guys, anyway to do this with out oppenssh.. my pc doesnt have wifi currently.
using iphonebroweser i doenload the files and drag to appropriate folders.
icons come up on ipod but close straight away. any way i can change file permisions with out using oppssh?
thanks
i am having difficulties accessing the /Applications. Every time i click on the folder, it redirects me /private/var/stash/Applications.FKA7Ta. I tried to drag and drop the /Monkey_ball folder to /Applications and again it redirects the folder to /private/var/stash/Applications.FKA7Ta and starts to copy it. Help!! Please
any word on whether this trick works for 2.1? i just upgraded and i haven’t check yet. If I do, i’ll post some more info.
don’t know if i am doing something wrong but i followed the instructions exactly. I can’t event see the monkey ball icon in the iphone to click on. Could it be because i upgraded to 2.1? if so, is there a way to installed in 2.1?
it works on 2.1 – but it takes some fiddling. after following the instructions here to the letter, the icon (and the icon for crash bandicoot) didn’t show up on my springboard, but they did show up in the list for my Poof app and in Categories. — So I moved the apps into a folder in Categories and they showed up there, but wouldn’t launch. I then opened BossPrefs and used the “Fix User Dir Permissions” function. After this, with restarts between basically every step, both Monkey Ball and Crash work as usual! :)
Hope that helps.

thanks bowie. did exactly what you told me and got it work on my 2.1.
i did the steps as said but no icon showed up, so i did “Fix User Dir Permissions” then there was still no icon….
i dont have categories or poof app…would that be a problem?
wtf it dnst work at all it opens and closes….
how do i jail break my ipod touch??
followed the steps, and for 2.1, i did the fix user permissions in bosspref, then i installed categories, and it just automatically showed up…works!!
kumar 24, you have to download the categories app, and then the icon shows up, it works for me on a 2.1 version
i have 2.1 and i did all the steps but it just opens and closes right away
please help.
1st gen iphone
2.1 custom firmware.
Did all the steps. monkey ball on spring board, but when click on it, it said “monkey ball cannot be open”
I’ve got the same problem as sumx724 and kent.
1st gen iphone
2.1

Hello,
for all those who still have crashing bug when starting monkey ball on 2.1 firmware…although you did all the steps above..but seems that, when you copy Monkey Ball.app, you have to set permission to 775 to all content folders and files….this time, the app doesnt show in spring board (it will show if permissions isnt set on all folders), so u simply can find it in categories and add it to a folder and it will work just fine…Note: Try rebooting, and trying it on every step before “Fixing User Dir Permissions” in BossPrefs…
I Got it on 2.1 !!!
I followed the process, and at the end I go to Filezilla
1/Go INTO the folder MonkeyBall.app
2/Use Ctrl + A to select everything in the folder
3/Change to 775 to all !!!
Then restarts…it works !!!

all worked, but how do i delete it when installed this way?
i deleted the monkelball.app from the iphone and tried to reinstall with the cracked monkeyball.ipa i found later on the net (thought that way of installing was easier)
but now itunes says i already have monkey ball installed, how can i delete the entry that makes itunes think i already have it ainstalled??
thanx
It Works on 20.1 :]
So I installed the app and got it to work, but now Cydia doesn’t work. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
when youre on WinSCP when u set the permissions for the .app folder, click “set all permissions respectively”. then do all the other stuff and it’ll work. it did for me.
when youre on WinSCP and when youre changing the permissions for the .app folder, click “set all permissions respectively”. then itll wor. it did for me.
Why isn’t this working for me? I have 2.1 and I’ve done everything right multiple times. This isn’t my first time doing this but for some reason no matter what I try, it will not work! I’ve spent days on this! I’m hopeless. I have the SMB icon in catagories and it doesn’t load. Help!
You have to set up the permission of the folder! Without it, your iTouch/iPhone wouldn’t let you open your Application.
Hi Charly, i’m in exactly the same situation as Josh. Which folder we need to setup?
I granted 777 to most of the folders that it seems related. But doesn’t help at all, the app just quit right after i clicked the SMB icon from categories.
Anyone have a clue please shed some lights.
Thanks!!
hi… i have a 3g on 2.1… i did all the steps by the rule… i have monkey ball on my iphone but when i try to start it, it just goes home… whats wrong???
I cant go to /applications !!! it always goes to /private/var/stash/Applications.JNJOnv
is that okay? please help!
PS: crash bandicoot works without a problem!!
it works!!
For 2.1 firmware users!
I followed the normal steps shown above (steps 1 – 8), however instead of doing the step 9 stated above, simply download ‘BossPrefs’ from Cydia, open the application and then click on ‘Fast Respring’ from the Power option at the bottom.
Your Monkey Ball should now appear as an icon on your main screen.
Is it ok to remove the Monkey Ball.app folder using FileZilla?
I can’t seem to get it to work, and I want to try it again from scratch…
I followed what PDJ did, and it worked like a charm, no need to create a file in categories!
dear all,
is there anybody ever tried this method for the newest iphone firmware (2.2)?
i use iphone 3G firmware 2.2 factory unlock and i jailbreak my iphone using quickpwn. i already install openSSH via Installer but i cant install toggleSSH because i couldnt find toggleSSH app in installer nor cydia.could u please so kind give me step by step tutorial to install this game? thx.
I have iphone 2g and firmware 2.2 cracked and the game work very good!!thank’s!!!

I have a first gen 8gigabyte iphone with 2.2 unlocked jailbreaked firmware, the game icon shows up in my iphone’s menu and when i click on the icon the initial screen of the game starts and then sends me back to my iphone’s menu
Got it workign on 2.2, but this monkey is a little shit head.
but where do i have to create categories?????
If you can’t see icon download “BossPrefs”
from cydia then click “more” in the top right then click “Fix User Dir Permissions”
then click “back” in the top left then click “power” then click “fast respring” then click the “home botton” YOUR DONE!
-make sure in “BossPrefs” and click “poof hide icon” that “super monkey ball” is “on”
Step by step tutorial:
1. Make sure you’re on a jailbroken 2.0 iPhone
2. Download the cracked Super Monkey Ball (RAR Password – http://ihacks.ru), and extract the Monkey Ball.app folder to your desktop
3. Copy Monkey Ball.app into /Applications via SSH and set permission to 0755. Open the folder, select all the files, right click and also set permission to 0755 (ctrl+a) to select all in windows….
4. Create a folder called “Documents” in /Apps and set permission to 0777.
5. Create a folder called “Documents” in /var/mobile/ and set permission to 0777. This will fix the Disk Full error message seen when launching the game. Kudos to reno73 for the find!
6. Reboot your iPhone
