[SOLVED] Can't view system images via SSH

[upaymeifixit]

I'm looking for an easy way to view, and convert the system images on the in iPhone OS. They seem to be encoded or something, so that I can not read them. Any ideas?

Thanks.

You can use a tool like iPhonePNG (http://www.newsfirex.com/blog/?p=176) to convert the encoded .png to readable format.

Thanks, but I don't completely understand how to use this. I ran the iPhonePNG.exec, and then closed the window. Opened another window, typed in

cd ~/desktop/
.iPhonePNG <defaultbutton.png>

Then it spit out:

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

Where defaultdesktop.png is the file I want to decode, and it is on the desktop.

What am I doing wrong?

I forgot, the iPhone is running 3.1.1 and I'm running 10.6.1. The image files on the phone appear readable, open up in preview and everything, but there is nothing on them. Just transparency. Is it encoded differently than other OS's?

nevermind, I used another application to get it to work.

I use this python script http://www.axelbrz.com.ar/?mod=iphone-png-images-normalizer
