The steps involve backing up and restoring your iPhone from iTunes and they have a few warnings before you start that stating that this process could totally brick your iPhone if it doesn’t work out. (They are considerate hackers.) Once your done you must also be sure you added all the ringtones you wanted or you’ll need to follow all the steps again to add more.

If you want custom ringtones for your iPhone really bad you can try this out, but make sure you set some time aside and also have prepared yourself in the event that you end needing to send your iPhone in to Apple.
