1) SSH into your phone, navigate to the folder: "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallat ion.framework"

NOTE: MobileInstallation.framework is a FOLDER!

2) Backup the file "MobileFramework" from the directory above.

NOTE: Rename it to MobileFramework.bak

3) Download this patched file - HERE : http://rapidshare.com/files/143396314/MobileInstallation.html

4) Copy the patched MobileFramework file into the "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallat ion.framework"

NOTE: MobileInstallation.framework is a FOLDER!

5) Set permissions to that new file to 775
6) Navigate to "/private/var/mobile/"
7) Set permissions to the folder "Applications" to 777
8) Navigate into the "/private/var/mobile/applications/ folder
9) Create a "Documents" folder in the "/private/var/mobile/applications/" folder.
