This is a solution for regaining your ringtones and system sounds for those with a broken iPhone silent switch.
First, to regain your system sounds install the "Silent Switch Bypass" from the iClarified repository. To find instructions on adding this source to your Installer app follow this tutorial.
The bypass was created by XianLi and modifies your SystemSoundBehaviours plist.
Next, to regain your Ringtones all you have to do is install VideosTone. You can find instructions on how to do this here

My switch stays on silent and cannot be turned back to ring. This worked for me (iphone 6):
Turn on assertive touch (through settings), then go on device and "Unmute."
Turn off assertive touch (if you don't want it).
It works fine now.
I couldn't find this app in iClarified's repository. I also tried to install the AutoSilent software, but it said my device wasn't proven compatible yet. So I used SBSettings with a special module:

I 've installed Auto Silent...but i cannot disable my Broken Silent Switch so i turns to Silent or Ringer Mode again again (vribrating all the time) and it's very frustrating and also consumes too much battery...Is there any settings that i must change or something??
Thanks in advance...
I installed Auto Silent on my iPhone (4.2.1) and it just corrupted my iPhone. The silent switch is not working anymore, on or off, iPhone always remain on silent. Even though, I've un-installed the app, but still no joy. Can any one help.
Yea. Except it is impossible to take off such a tiny piece of plastic without having a specialized tool. Because needle nose pliers even the smallest ones are too big and it doesn't work to try and grab it
I also have 3.0.1 and looking forward to a mute switch bypass app. Want to have my sounds back! Can anyone help? Why isn't this app being updated to work with OS 3 too???
All you have to do is pry the plastic off. You don't need a drill or anything it's just plastic. Once off all I use is my earing to move the switch back one fourth. Didn't download a thing.
