Change iPhone hostname without iTunes

Vendredi 26 août 2011

May be you are like me and you won’t connect your iPhone on your Mac or PC. But recently i wanted to change my hostname (in games and others applications my name was « iPhone » –boring). So i search on the web, but i doesn’t find how to change the iPhone hostname. After a long time, i finally find the solution.

To change your iPhone hostname without iTunes, you can juste use this command in the iPhone terminal :
sudo scutil --set HostName myNewHostname.local

Enjoy
