Install Spire directly from your iPhone without accessing TheBigBoss repository

GhS — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 10:37:16 +0000

With the recent release of the Untethered Jailbreak of iOS 5.0.1 by @pod2g Cydia repositories are being hammered by the traffic generated by the Jailbreakers and sometimes users are not being able to reach certain repoistories.

@chpwn recently released “Spire“, a tool for installing Siri on A4 devices. In order to get Spire running you must download it from TheBigBoss repository and then while installing it will download the required Siri files to your iDevice from Apple Servers directly (arround 100MB).

The “Spire” deb file itself is around 711 kb but since it is very hard to reach TheBigBoss repository right now, you can install it using another method.

1. First of all download the “Spire” deb file (v1.0) from: Here(TheBigBoss) or Here(fileserve)

2. Move the file to ”/var/mobile” directory of your iDevice using SSH,SCP….etc

3. ssh to you iDevice and run the following command dpkg -i com.chpwn.spire_v1.0.deb
That is it, be sure to be on Wifi since it will need to download around 100MB from Apple’s Servers
