All,
I have a 8gb 1.1.4 iPhone Jailbroken that will sync my ringtones, but when i go through the UI to set the custom RingTones, they do not show up. Any insight or post to other threads that had this issue?

Thanks,
 
Are they under 40 seconds? When you plug your phone into your computer, and the iTunes pops up with iPhone screen, is the ringtones tab have the "sync all ringtones" option checked?
 
In 1.1.4, they must be AAC files with an m4r extension to be visible or to be playable. I would suggest just using iToner to copy them over which will automatically reformat the files so they will work.

Mine work great, I used audacity, and the guide found on this site. I am on 1.1.4 BTW, and just unlocked yesterday.
 
Yeah.... I am going to ssh to the phone and check out the directory structure.. See if the m4r's are getting to the correct place.

Just a bit of a update...

It seems that the ringtones are getting to the iPhone fine.. Here is what I am seeing..

/private/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Ringtones/GDBR.m4r
/private/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Ringtones/LFGM.m4r
/private/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Ringtones/PRNN.m4r

For some reason those are not being moved to :

/Library/Ringtones/

These songs are also not maintaining their given names.. Possibly 'GDBR' is a Key to a value in some sort of hash table ?

Guess I really need to get those Perl and PHP development kits to write a fix for this 🙂

UPDATE ::
In,
/private/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/iTunes
There is a,
Ringtones.plist

/Library/Ringtones is where the default ringtones go (i.e. Marimba). Try to SSH a ringtone into that directory. It will show up in the Standard section in the iPhone settings.

iTunes renames the ringtones you transfer manually or when you sync your iPhone with iTunes. I'm sure some internal database points to those new names. Not sure why it's not working for you. The problems I had were duplicate ringtones after I set my iPhone to "Manual manage music and videos".

Could you tell me if this file is empty for you too...

I don't have that file there but I do have "com.apple.itunes.lock_sync" in there (it's empty).
