Earlier today we told you that a developer posted files to port the Siri GUI to the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. These files contained everything necessary to get Siri’s GUI functioning on unsupported iDevices. The only aspect of this port that does not work is actually the ability talk to Siri; this is because Siri can not yet contact Apple’s servers. As Siri cannot currently contact Apple’s servers why would one go to the trouble of installing it?
Well the developer who released these files claimed that there were some files included he would not show us how to get functioning at this time. It is in my opinion that these files may contain the key to getting Siri to contact Apple’s servers. Even if I am not right about these files, once you install the GUI to your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, all it takes is another developer to release the activation files and you will have already done a brunt of the work to get Siri fully functioning on your iDevice.
If you are ever going to be interested in porting Siri to your:
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 3GS
- iPod Touch 4G
- iPad 1G
We suggest following this how to guide on installing the Siri GUI files to your unsupported Apple iDevices. That way you will be prepared for when an activation method has been found, and it will be an easy task to get Siri fully functioning.
How To Install Siri On iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad
Before you start this how to guide you will need to download the following:
- Siri GUI files
- AssistantServices.framework file (Try this if the one downloaded with the Siri GUI files did not work)
- iExplorer (Apple iOS File Manager For Mac OS X and Windows)
Step 1) – The first thing you will need to do is update to the iOS 5 firmware and then Jailbreak your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad running the iOS 5 firmware.
Step 2) – The next thing you will need to do is open iExplorer and navigate to the following directory:
/Root Directory/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
Once in the directory you will need to transfer the AssistantServices.framework folder into the directory specified above.
Step 3) – You will now need to navigate to the following directory:
/Root Directory/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/
Once inside the directory you will need to transfer the contents of the SpringBoard_Assistant_pics folders into the above directory.
Step 4) – The next thing you will need to do is edit the SpringBoard .plist file. It will be named N81AP for the fourth generation iPod touch and N9x for iPhone 4 (x may be 0, 1, 2 depending on whether you are installing Siri on an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4).
To edit this file you will need to drag it to your desktop and open the file in a text editor program. Once the file is open look for the following line:
<key>720p</key>
<true/>
Underneath that line you will need to add the following line:
<key>assistant</key>
<true/>
Once the line has been added you will need to save the file and then transfer it back to your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.
Note: An alternative method to manually editing the file on your computer would be to use an application like iFile.
Step 5) – Now you must simply restart your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.
Note: As you have a tethered Jailbreak you will need to boot your iDevice using RedSn0w (Mac/Windows).
Upon restarting your iDevice you can hold down the home button and you should notice Siri appears. Congratulations! You have just installed the Siri GUI on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. We will keep you updated when more information is discovered on how to enable Siri to contact Apple’s servers. Until that time enjoy showing off to your friends that you have Siri your iDevice.
Let us know if you have any questions in the comments section below…
UPDATE #1: Try this AssistantServices.framework file if the one downloaded with the Siri GUI files did not work.
wasim says
i have 3gs.all steps dne.but ,plist file doesnt show key 720 p key.where should i write nw?
Jaden Ellett says

Jaden Ellett says
What do you see? Anything similar at all?
Joseph Mikhail says

Panamera says
Just followed all the steps to a T, but still nothing happens on my iPod touch 4 after all the files are transferred; it still shows the normal Voice Control when I hold the Home button.. :P
Jaden Ellett says
Try downloading the new file in Update #1 note
Jaden Ellett says
Try downloading the new file in Update #1 note guys
Panamera says
Thanks! It worked perfectly after using the new file ;)
Panamera says
Try downloading the new AssistantServices.framework file noted in the Update at the bottom of the article, and use that one instead of the AssisantServices.framework file that comes with the Siri download.
Joseph Mikhail says
ok after the update it shows siri but even the regular voice control commands doesnt work as the button itself doesnt do anything when pressed :(
Panamera says
Nope, installing the Siri GUI disables Voice Control.
Panamera says
Correct.
Panamera says
Installing the Siri GUI disables Voice Control.
smart one says

CyCLoBoT says
I got Siri to come up but when I click on the Mic button, the blue light does not come on. I’m guess that’s normal for now until someone figures out how to enable it correct?
Panamera says
This is just a simple GUI port of the images/animations, Siri voice recognition is non-functional in this port.
Panamera says
Yep.
Bkoch66player14 says
doesnt work still. boot loops and respring loops. kinda sucks. and i used the updates file.
Hunt2013 says
Does this disable real Voice Control? I have the GUI working but no beep for voice control and talking to it does nothing.
Hunt2013 says
Does the normal Voice Control work as it should when using this?
Hackpro1989 says
to fix the spring loop used iPhone Explorer or iFunBox to drag N88AP.plst backup file or removed the lines you added into the springboard folder overwriting the mod one and it should come back up Video Coming Soon
Alooooony says
I followed all the steps, but my phone keeps re springing I dont know what to do. I booted from RedSnow and it still does this
Josh Hylton says

Cooperjazzy55 says
follwed all steops and mine is stick in loop boot, currently restoring.
Not sure why it done this?
J-City says
same Here man HELP US PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZ !
Cooperjazzy55 says
Now my N88AP file looks complettely scrambled but looked fine before?
Andrew says
You are encountering Loop Boot because you messed up the springboard settings.
Pay big attention to the syntax of the lines you are adding.
For 3GS, edit the /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/N88AP.plist via notepad or notepad++:
Find this exact same line:
armv7
And add right below it:
assistant
For iPhone 4, look for the N9xAP.plist (don’t know the exact number, could be 90) and do the exact thing. Search for this lines:
armv7
Add these lines below it :
assistant
Then turn off phone, and Boot Tethered.
Loop booting or stucking at the spinning wheel most likely means you messed up the springboard settings.
Andrew says
Freaking editor: make sure the is written as , don’t forget the /, write it without spaces.
Andrew says
I uploaded the files I used.
Thing is, the site editor keeps resetting my syntax.
You need to make sure there is a / at the end of the statement. Look for the syntax in the N88AP.plist to see what I mean.
Jameson says
Wow man, you are a freakin’ genius!!! Though I couldn’t say I can now use Siri on my iPod Touch 4G, at least, I already have it. I am totally gonna wait for your next update. Hopefully, we all get to use Siri on older iDevices defore the holidays come in. Thanks a lot dude.
Cooperjazzy55 says
where i can find your file?
Andrew says
My post needs to be review first, then it will show up… Or maybe you can give me your email, so I can forward it.
Cooperjazzy55 says
my file looks nothing like it did before, its all over the place with different symbols everywhere, i restored my phone and re-jailbreaked it yet its still the same.
it looked like the one above before i got the boot loop
Anyhelp?
Cooperjazzy55 says
cooperjazzy55@gmail.com
Mus3na says

Andrew says
You are using redsn0w to Just Boot right?
Tayab Khan says
My i button doesn’t show by the siri button
J-City says
don’t restore man, you should keep a backup of the N90AP file, when you do something wrong just delete the edited N90AP And Replace It With The Old One

I got the same problem did everything the right way .. tried both AssistantServices.framework ‘s but with both i’ve ended in a bootloop..tried to respring and tried the just boot from redsnow both ended in boot loop.. to get out of the bootloop just use Iexplorer and upload the original N9X.plist file and the phone should get out of the boot loop at least it worked for me..

Hi there.
i have done the GUI copied into iPhone 4 and after reboot once keep press the home button i only got the Siri’s mic came out without the “doo doo”, and the small text box just didn’t show any “What can i help you with ?”
Is this all normal ? I tried to reboot a few times but still the same error.
Am i missing some steps ?
I followed the steps exactly from the above page.
BTW, i am from Malaysia, is that Siri will choose country for functional ?
Thanks for any input… !!
KC.
Diazdavid87 says
Just hit edit txt with Ifile and add the “720P key” then below type in the other line.
Good luck cause my ipod touch actually has the 720p and the key below on, and I still got the fail trying to port.
Ipod Touch still not working.
Seanlzq says
I got the siri GUI but the background is black instead of the black cloth and there is no “how can I help you?” text… HELP!!!
Diazdavid87 says
This is just an unreliable post from this site.
Other ppl are claiming that it works but when I do it all step by step and it don’t work.
I call that I fail.
We need new update that actually works cause I was actually up all last night trying to do this.
Ohatsos says
Guys my ipod 4 wont boot. What can i do now?
Javiduran80 says
OK! In the step 3, you write the following directory: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
And in the picture, i can see you leave the new folder in /System/Library/
What folder is it really? Thanks!
Javiduran80 says
Hello Wasim, I have too iPhone 3Gs, and where do you leave AssistantServices.framework?? /System/Library/ or /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
Thank you
Javiduran80 says
Only write it too… I have 3Gs new bootrom, and i can see Siri but mic doesn’t work
Snipers Recon says
works fine for me, after i used the updated assistantservices.framework, just wish it actually WORKED instead of just getting the siri icon to come up when you hold the home button.
Luisan1977 says
Help, not work in ipad1, i modified archive K48AP.plist in ipad, but black screen with loop.

Panamera says
This is just a GUI port of the images/animations; voice recognition and everything else doesn’t work in this port.
MrMuffinManZulo says

Ghost121411 says

Melad_khalid says

Ga Buenaño says
Now that SIRI is working with apple servers, can anyone make a tutorial about how to do it?
H_acg says
do you guys think that they will actually release the code? will apple allow?
Dickson-tan says
it doesnt let me boot. can you upload the nx90.plist file?
Ghost121411 says
oh and just curios whats with the “Assistant.bundle” and other files floating around in there do we not know were to put them or…..
Dickson-tan says
Got problem with the boot up , can upload the nx90.plist?
MrMuffinManZulo says

Diazdavid87 says
Yea this is the same thing happening to me with my Ipod touch 4G.
So I just got over it.
I think there was just a select few that got the port.
I’m just going to wait for a new update and move on.
Bwulff4 says
I’m pretty sure I followed all the directions as said above and when I hold down the home button, voice control continues to show up. HELP!!!
Kclbm4 says
Worked perfectly on my 3GS!!!
For all you people that don’t have the “720p” key on your 3GS, just type that in like this
720p
assistant
And it should work!
I used Cyberduck on a Mac…. Now just 2 more things:
1. UNTETHERED iOS5 Jailbreak (However, my 3GS has the old bootrom so its untethered)
2. CONNECTING TO APPLE’S SERVERS (Siri)
Jessemarell says
can u tell me the solution if you learned
bwulff4 says
Now all that happens is the black screen. Has anyone been able to fix it?
Panamera says
This is just a port of the GUI, or Graphical User Interface; therefore voice recognition and all other features of Siri do not work in this port.
Panamera says
Everyone saying the Siri mic won’t work: this is simply a port of the Siri GUI (Graphical User Interface) which means only the images/animations are present in this port; voice recognition and all other features of Siri are not present in this port.
littlea says
lol guys its just the GUI for Siri, its far away from working… stay tuned
Aswd says

apple certainly won’t allow it, but since when has that stopped anyone?
Elysium says
I too just have the mic icon – but nothing happens
MysticEffect.com says
iBooty, use it to boot your self out of the Apple logo.
You should know that iOS 5 is untethered unless you have old bb.
Kclbm4 says
Yes use the N88 Plist.
You would then need to enter 720p
assistant
(Add the / after true, it won’t let me do that on this comment)
Then it should work

That’s isn’t a problem! That’s all you are going to get for adding the GUI. Once the other part is released you will be able to talk and accept commands
J-City says
For Everyone That’s Having Respring Loops :
The Modifications in N90AP.plist file Is Not Wrong
Just go to AssistantServices.framework
you will find info.plist and infoo.plist
delete The infoo.plist and this should make siri GUI work like a charm but only GUI
J-City says
delete the infoo.plist file in AssistantServices.framework
Mxtime says
TO ALL IN A BOOT LOOP!! move the AssistantServices.framework folder to AssistantServices.framework.BAK and create a new AssistantServices.framework folder with the new “updated” version.. If that still doesnt work copy the rest of the files back in from the original folder into the new one WITHOUT overwriting ANY of the files…
Hope that helps…
POPEYE says
that’s because SIRI is yet to connect to apple servers. we all have to wait for hackers to update the siri to connect to apple servers version. this is only the GUI of siri

Peace Sells but Who’s Buying! HAHA AWESOME!!! Yeah, my mic isn’t showing up, it’s just black with a thin stretched out bubble where the text is suppose to be.
NintendoNaut says
Can someone please answer this question: Should there be an AssistantServices.framework file inside the AssistantUI.framework folder. I think I might have added it by mistake but can’t be sure.
NintendoNaut says
Followed everything exactly, used the new framework file, and I still just get voice control.
sirloin34 says
check the plist file, see if it’s put your in alphabetical like it did mine. i just get voice control.
NintendoNaut says
Well yeah it’s in A-Z order but that’s how it’s always been. Look at the screenshot. I’m lost at this point–I’ve followed everything and used the new file. Look at the screenshot–He’s putting the AssistantServices.framework file into a different directory than he says in the text…Which one’s right?
sirloin34 says
into the PrivateFrameworks i guess, that’s where i put it, the plist file, he says put new text on line 9 and 10, when i save it goes to 23 and 34 even though i type in 9 and 10.
NintendoNaut says
Eh. Over it.

it wont let me talk
Sneh Amrania says
it does not work… atleast not on 3gs n88ap
Sneha Amrania says
I am assuming thats on for iphone 4… coz it doesnt work on 3gs
mhikez says
that is normal since this ported siri is just a User Interface(UI) that means it’s not connected to apple servers to answer your questions and it doesn’t function as of now..Let’s just wait for the hackers to release the files needed to be able to connect to the apple servers…
mhikez says
it is located in the SystemLibraryCoreServicesSpringBoard.app
use ifile to navigate and change something inside that N9x.plist ….
mhikez says
it works!!! only that it can’t connect to apple servers…..as what it says its GUI porting only…..Graphical User Interface – no functionality at all….
Budhnaroshan says
My problem is that my iExplorer for windows doesn’t show the root directory when i open it! it show media and apps directory only!!! plz help….
Ro Shan says

please help!!!!!!! :(
Abdulazizaddas says
the mic does not work
Fishbone3332 says
it doesnt work
Weiloon87_lp says
my iphone spin right round right round on the boot loop so round. try all the guide given by putting 720p, assistant, true and so on, it just end up boot loop on my 3gs
Svenii says
Didn’t work on the iPhone 4 either :(
Svenii says
yea same here, I deleted the infoo.plist file but still won’t work, used the latest assistantservices folder etc but still does the stupid loop, it will start up again when I fix my plist file which I made a backup off ;) but I just can’t get it to boot with Siri working
Svenii says
I finally got it to work on my iPhone 4 by deleting the whole assistantServicesframework folder Downloaded the one from the Update 1 AGAIN and copied it back into System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ all while my phone was still stuck in the loop. I’m using WinSCP to edit my phone ;)
Amid says
pleas tel mi thiz Siri whork ios 5 oda ios 4.3 ? iphon 3gs
Suck says
Yeah, this shit broke my iphone, re-installing and jailbreaking now
Josh says
UPDATE: it cant be done right now. the ipsw files are encrypted so there’s no way to copy siri onto older idevices RIGHT NOW…and theres the copywright problem, which shouldnt be that big of a deal because it would just be the person who put siri on their device’s fault. Siri should be on our devices around the time when the iPhone 4S jailbreak releases
Josh says
re-copy the image files
Elektromouse says
hi! I have a question, i port GUI on my phone, it works!

Jimmys_206 says

Josh says
This is cool even if the voice does not work. The fact that I just see it is really fun! Thanks.
Anket_panta says
when i edit N81ap through ifile,springboard restart loops occur??what to doo ..plzz help
Ro Shan says
but WinSCP use wifi only rite?
DITRIX says
Why everybody and in all possible guides are advising to use iexplorer , Ifile etc for transfering files and editing the .plits file ??? To all of you – the easiest and fastest way is to use WinSCP (if you are on Windows , of course), both file transfer and editing of all file types is easy and quick …
Regards to all
DITRIX says
Yes , only wi-fi but i do not quite agree with the word “only” :) – everywhere there is a wi-fi networks :)
Jonathan Fernandez says
please send me your folder edited fo the installation siri in my iphon 3gs siri not worked
Ambrose699 says
Hi there, i am using Iphone 3gs jailbroken with semi-tethered and edited my N88AP.plist. I had successfully installed and added the folder/files using iexplorer as according to the steps posted here. After rebooted and try to use Siri using holding down the home button, siri microphone does appearred but it doesn’t hear any beep sound from my phone. Just wonder how does it work?. And also Siri doesn’t appear under iphone’s settings. Anybody can help ??
Josh says
Not online with servers. Just a nice look. I think it would be best to really look for FULL operation to be ready around the time the 4s public jailbreak comes out. Just my opinion. Atleast you are some what there. Hopefully the update will come and you can add those files as well for it to work right.
Sheoques says
Hi guys, who can help me? I did everything but now my iPhone is not working. it seems that i lost the firmware.
Please help me!!!!!!
Ambrose699 says
Thanks mate, thats mean have to wait till it connect to the server then only SIRI could be function able in my phone? anyone out there successfully connected and SIRI being used in Iphone 3Gs or 4?
Josh says
I got the recovery loop when I did it wrong . Not sure if thats what you mean by lost firmware. Mine just kept beeping and spinning. In which case I did full recovery and used UPDATE #1: Try this AssistantServices.framework file if the one downloaded with the Siri GUI files did not work. Listed at the top. It stinks when you mess up but its great when it works sorry thats what I had to do.
Bryandonkey says
Got it all right..guess what my Siri was deaf
it won’t respond the mike sticks out of my iphone 4 and can’t hear a thing i say
Shibabz03 says
As per the title says this is only the GUI and not the whole thing so the mic probably wont work..
Mail says
That ends in a boot loop…PLEASE HELP!
Mail says
what about the difference between the too packages contains a file called assistant_service and the other file AssistantServices?
Mail says
it works :) but only the GUI and i can click on nothing??? DAMN!
Miguel Palau says
Worked fine with the updated file. Can’t wait for part 2 of this tutorial to get full siri
jlats26 says
After doing this successfully is it suppose to appear in settings app as well? Mine worked but I cannot see it in settings>general.
iModzify says

Johnnyho says
I cannot find SpringBoard .plist file on iphone 3gs . what happen ?
wowangel1 says
hey bro i have a 3gs and i tryed all the steps in this tutorial but it isnt working would you pls highlight something to me that happent to you that may had not work for you even tho you did every step plsss and ty very much
Johnny says
Mine is a N88AP
Maytty says
you make that with iFile on the iPhone when you open up the N90AP file with property text viewer you go to capabilities and you press the + button at the bottom you type assistant and select the bootlean class and press done
thehunter399 says
The only file visible to edit is the N88AP. And nothing there has anything related to do with the instillation of siri and dosent contain any sting with 720p in it? HELP!
Oladapo89 says
trolling
iPhone <3 says
i cant drag and drop
Ryanxp says
Ignore that, if you are using iFile, open it in Properties viewer and add “assistant” with boolean and enabled.
Also I have the 3GS also, you will need the alternative Springboard files.
Rmcg10 says
When will our ported versions of Siri start working with Apple servers? Sometime after a 4S jailbreak sure, but how long will that be?
Allnighter246 says
i did everything it said exactly and nothing happened at all
Gerardo_galvan_olvera says

Mohamedjaffar says

Nufreedom says
mmm it doesnt work dude! when i finished with all those things i restart an tethered my ipod 4g, i goto setting and the resolution of my screen appear in 168×240!

Oreocookies says
trying to reboot on Redsnow, on iPhone 4 but its stuck on the pineapple logo… what can i do?? please help!!!
Bumsnnoses says
has anyone else noticed the other files downloaded, that arnt needed?
Sorcery077 says
ohat i recommend using pwnage tool or redsnow to put your phone in dfu mode and restore, also i heard that replaceing the files you changed with the originals could fix. I hope this helps
Vignesh Muru says
It would take quite awhile as it requires an Iphone 4S validation token – Which requires a jailbroken iphone 4s (no public release available) and its a time consuming 20 step process to extract it. Still stroughton Smith or Chwkd arent going to release it because it would be an infringement of copyright, but im sure someone will write a tutorial after a iphone 4s untethered jailbreak is available. :)
Hayd3nl3 says
I got the siri logo on a black theme with no sound or text.. Please help, thanks!
Sharringan says
how to edit the text i used the normal notepad and it shows up wierd words
Sharringan says
help im stuck at this blackscreen with a wheel tat keeps circling in the middle please help me
Lokiyo Flores says
does not work in my iphone 4
Harry Pickworth says
If the hackers that managed to get Siri to work as seamlessly on the iPhone 4 but are not going to release the validation token (or the other necessary components) due to copy write infringement, how likely is it that these components will be released at all?
Md Islam says
After so many failed attempts, it finally works.
Alisa Gaylon says
where in the file do you put it?
Rb says
I downloaded the files on copy to /Root Directory/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/. DID NOT WORK. BUT I download update #1 and copy them and overwrite the old files. and WOOOOP working..

Step 4) – The next thing you will need to do is edit the SpringBoard .plist file. It will be named N81AP for the fourth generation iPod touch and N9x for iPhone 4 (x may be 0, 1, 2 depending on whether you are installing Siri on an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4).
whats the name for ipad? :)
