FW 1.1.1 doesn't recogzine .m4a files as ringtones anymore.
The .m4r ringtone files are protected, so simple renaming .m4a to .m4r just doesn't work.
The following workaround will allow you to install and use your own .m4a ringtones. After patching the MeCCA, all the .m4r files which have space as the last character of the filename (right before the .m4r part) will be treated as regular .m4a files.

1. Patch or replace

2. Reboot your iphone. You only need to do it once after patching the MeCCA. (Warning: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE UR MECCA on ur file before rebooting or u will screwed ur phone)
3. Put your .m4a ringtone into /Library/Ringtones.
(U can use IBRICKR for converting mp3/wav file to m4a file. Just transcode/upload the mp3 using ur IBRICKR then the music also that converted already will go to ur IBRICKR folder of your windows)
4. The tricky part. You need to rename your ringtone so it will end with .m4r. Note the blank before the dot/ a space before period.(in the filename of the ringtone put a space before .m4r) It will indicate that no special .m4r treatment is needed for this file. So normal .m4r files will look like 'Tone1.m4r' or 'Tone2.m4r'. Custom .m4a files will look like 'Tone1 .m4r' or 'Tone2 .m4r'.
5. Go to setting/sounds, select your rigntone and enjoy.
