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 Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D app from Vivendi, turning the $9.99 game into a free one. Want to learn how to install CBNK 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 ~7MB cracked version of Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D. and unzip the package which will be a “iFuse.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 “iFuse.app” folder to your iPhone’s “/Applications” folder using your FTP program. 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 “iFuse.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 two “Documents” folders “/var/mobile/Documents” and “/Applications/Documents.” Set the permissions on these folders 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 Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D.

Nice Jobs Guys thks a lot work greate for me and buy the way is it really necessary to create these 2 ‘documents’ my work perfect just want to know???
hi, i installed super monkey ball using the above method, and it works fine, but when i install crash bandicoot or spore or any other games, it just doesnt work. Do i have to repeat all the above steps with the same permission of 775 and 777?? Also, do i have to create a new folder of document?
I followed exactly what’s happening here, but after I copied everything, and I rebooted my iPhone 3G, then there is no icon at all appeared. What should I do?
how come even when i created two documents folders i still cannot save crash 3D? Everytime it loads there a msg saying that the disk space is full. I am running on iphone 2g 2.1. Someone please help me. I did the 2 documents and set them both to 777 so how come?
wazap ya
This is not working for me, and i did change the premissions, and i planced the monkey ball into the categories folder, but every time i tap on the game, it just shows the logo and crashes. I tried big boss fix, but nothing changed!!!
Help pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaseeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that aint the only thing i tried, i also tried to pound my iphone with a hammer a few times and its STILL NOT WORKING!!!!!!
Jk jk
Thanks Man, it worked fine thanx abunch
ok 10x job but why when is start the game its says disc full continue without saving???? and i have free disc space
hey it says “the application”CBNK 3D” canoot be opened” what should i do? please HELP!!!
sorry i was coping the ifuse into “mobile/applications” and now i do it over “var/stash/applications” and it work just great… thanks
Did all steps mentioned above. files copy over ok but no icon on the home screen. all iFuse files are set to 775 and the 2 documents folders are set to 777. can any1 Help?
I found that if you go to the folder itself under applications… and open iFuse select all the files and just set the permissions to all of them to 775 it will work just fine… your problem is you can’t execute the file… that’s all it is..
I was running f.w. 2.0.1 and upgraded to 2.1 yesterday. After installing this onto my phone setting permissions etc. it kicked my wifi off. Reconnected to winscp and received an error messeage finally was able to reconnect. Now it looks like my folders names have changed? My applications folder now is called “Applications.v3oe0H” this is the one in “stash” folder. Is this something to be worried about is is this the way its named under new fw 2.1
hey it says “the application”CBNK 3D” canoot be opened” what should i do? please HELP!!!
Thanxxxx alot it now works
Thanks it works perfect, for the people who don’t see their app. just putt SSH off go to sydia search openSSH and remove it
Hope it helps
Bye!
crash bandicoot is the best game of the games
icons didn’t show up on home screen. Disables OpenSSH and then removed it via cydia and now it works fine. Installed OpenSSH again and the icon is still there so just reinstall OpenSSH
i cant save the game for some reason i deleted everything on my iphone and nothing
IT WORKS BUT I HAD EVERY PLM DOWN THE ROAD:
I have a 3g 2.2 jailbroken phone. with quickpwn windows vista
You cannot do this (or at least i couldn’t) with winscp you have to Download the filezilla client which honestly i like better. Even doing a SFTP in winscp didnt work nor ssh. So anyways start your SSH on ur iphone using toggle or whatever and then open filezilla follow the steps above.
When I first copied ifuse into applications my phone was asleep until i urgently woke it up midway during the copy lol (it had no effect so don’t panic if u did that, it is not the cause)
I then right clicked on properties gave it the 775 permission then opened ifuse the folder highlighted ALL files gave them the 775 and then created the two folders.Gave them the 777 However there was already a Documents folder in the applications folder so since you can’t created a new one i changed the orginally. I then closed the session. turned on and off my phone and … NOTHING
So i deleted SSH and restarted phone and … NOTHING
So I went back into filezilla and checked my settings again and omg! they changed! yes my ifuse was set at 774? wtf! and the documents set at 775. I was positive I did it right the first time so I changed it back. Repeated the unistall /reinstalled for SSH and NOTHING!
FINALLY i had to delete the pre existing “documents” folder and re-create a new one with a 777. Before i did this of course I copied and saved the original folder (which contained 2 files and when i double clicked filezilla said there orginally was missing) just in case it was valuable. I closed session. restarted phone.. NOTHING and then i uninstalled ssh and TADA! WORKED!!
Hope i helped someone cause I would be the one to have the most plms with :)
I then closed the out of zilla For me: this did not work. I had to delete this folder and re-create a new one. Inside the orginal were 2 files “ad” and “?” but I tried opening them first b4 delete and it says they were missing their root folders so i said F*ck it (delete)
I also had to uninstall ssh and reinstall. I had every plm in the b
p.s. sorry about the ramble i meant to end at TADA WORKED! ignore everything after that i was writing it 2x
yup works fer my 2.2 too ;)thx energizer77… definatelie haf2 remove open ssh b4 getting the icon on springboard.
cheers mate…
regards,
stoner
any ideas on how to get the “filesystems full do you want to continue anyway?” message off? the game works fine i just cant save
Thanks
Thanks, I got it to work.
Put the Ifuse.app document to 755 permission and everything inside to 755 then reboot and uninstall OpenSSH.
i just went to winter board and took my theme off and boom everything was there. i think that is because winterboard resets springboard, hope it helps.
can i use iphonebrowser instead?
