1) Grab the ringtone generator from Grandstream:

   http://www.grandstream.com/y-ringtone.htm

2) Which is just a custom build of 'sox', an audio conversion program

   ./sox.linux input.wav ring1.bin

3) Install a TFTP server if you don't already have one

   apt-get install tftpd (debian/ubuntu)
   yum install tftpd (redhat/fedora)

4) Copy ring1.bin to your TFTP's directory, usually something like
   /var/lib/tftpboot/

5) Log into phone, and tell it to query your TFTP server for updates. I think
   the newer firmware's might also support retrieving updates via HTTP, in
   which case you'd supply a URL instead.

6) Save settings

7) Reboot phone
