What method of browsing the root filesystem is least likely to make any modifications to it? Hooking to a pc is an option. Jailbreaking is not an option for this question.

Despite the fact Steve Jobs didn't support this idea because it's making things complicated for the users, there are some apps which will allow you to do so. There is i-FunBox which allows you to browse through your iPhone files on your Mac. And if you're a Windows user, you've more options. There is iPhoneBrowser or iPhone Folders. If you want to be able to browse on your iPhone yourself, I'm afraid I only know one solution, called iFile. But this is only accessible on a jailbroken device... |

Sorry to break the news...but...You cannot reach the root directory without something being compromised on the phone itself. You may be able to access your music/photos/ringtones, but the root directory is off-limits to non-jailbroken iPhone users. |

Theres more than 1 option. Download dropcopy on your iPhone. Press the circle. Press preview. Press Root Filesystem. There you go! You don't have to be jail broken. |

I'm using DiskAid which is a good file manager to access the iPhone file system from your desktop Mac or Windows. You can connect to your device through Wi-Fi or USB, access your App contents, Music, SMS etc. Transfers are stable and reliable, for example if you disconnect your USB cable during a transfer the transfer will automatically continue via Wi-Fi. http://www.digidna.net/diskaid The root file system is accessible in DiskAid but as the other similar solutions only if your device is jailbroken. |
