I always had my first gen phone jailbroke, but what apps do you get if you jailbreak the 3G iPhone?
 
Cydia is installers younger smarter brother.. :) Yes, if you dont have it you wont beable to install ANY third party apps unless its from the App store.. Which partially defeates the purpose of staying up till 5 am.. :)

PS Anyway around the 1600 error in Xp/Vista?

Ahh, so will we have Customize and all that good stuff? That's the only reason I want to jailbreak at this point. :)

I got rid of the 1600 by restoring to official 2.0, then re-pwning and telling it that's it's never been Pwned (no pineapple). That was on my Mac but should work the same I suppose. :)
 
Unlocking deactivated phone

I can't find answer to this. Can I unlock my original iPhone, firmware 2,0, that isn't activated any longer, because I got 3G?

Please help

The owner of this site is very professional and always test the procedures before posting them, I have always used his procedures and never "bricked".


Always check the Information/ latest news for updated details:
http://www.hackthatphone.com/

I agree. This is by far the most well-researched and best source of information for "unofficially" used iPhones that I've seen. Any non-experts would be well advised to follow the tutorials listed there.
 
Umm...ok i think my phone might be hosed. I did everything by the book and restored the firmware. It restored and then launched the BootNeuter and got "Flashing Baseband. This may take up to 2 minutes" and its been stuck there for the past 13 minutes.

I dont want to touch it just because it maybe taking longer than usual but i dont think it should take this long. What do i do?

Make that 15 mins

PS my phone was a 4GB iPhone running a Pwned 1.1.4 FW

PS i also get these from iTunes

PS My phone is also getting hot

I think its fixed. Turns out all i needed to do was...wait. So i restored again and this time left it to flash the baseband, it took a while...i took a quick nap during that period and when i woke up it was done. Go figure.

2.0 Looks pretty, although i think the Contacts Application is kinda redundant and pointless

Seems to work well thus far

EDIT Actually it doesn't work as well and its DEFINITELY laggy/buggy
 
I got my iPhone from ebay ages ago. US iPhone being used on O2 here in the UK. It came unlocked/jailbroken and is still using the very old 1.0.2 firmware and ive been scared to update it in the past for fear of bricking it.

2.0 really interests me. I wanna update it and have found many of the tutorials/links regarding the PwnageTool to be very promising. Heres the thing tho, my phone isnt 1.1.4 so I am a little confused. Do I let itunes update it to 2.0 and then follow the PwnageTool method from there or do I have to do other things?
 
iPhone 1.1.4 unlocked with ZiPhone on Rogers

I unlocked my iPhone with ZiPhone on 1.1.4. I used PWnage yesterday with no problems, can make calls, surf the web, open App Store, iTunes store... I had a lot of problems lately, it was freezing, shutdown anytime, but since yesterday, It's running very smoothly.

Great job Dev Team
 
so it installs cydia, not installer.... the two apps are similar, right?
i want to make sure there is a summerboard app and i can have my theme/carrier icons edited. i also like the lastfm app on the installer vs the app store.

that stuff is not available yet
 
I have just unlocked my original iPhone and tried it with my gf's 3 Sim - it always says "Invalid Sim" - are 3 Sim cards not working in the iphones - just wondering incase it just didn't unlock
 
Somebody please answer: Will this work for an inactive (service) iPhone? I have my original still, working as a ipod touch essentially, since upgrading to 3G.

Can I jailbreak the 2.0 i have installed on the inactive iphone?
 
I can't get the booloaders to work. When I click on links to download them I get:

BL-39.bin.zip and BL-46.bin.zip

When I unzip them I get:
BL-39.bin and BL-46.bin

When I double-click on these I get:
BL-39.bin.cpgz and BL-46.bin.cpgz

If I double-click on these I get:
BL-39 2.bin and BL-46 2.bin

And on and on it goes in a circle, never getting me any kind of "unzipped" file. What am I doing wrong?
 
bah! guess i'll be waiting a bit longer then. is SSH available? is it not possible to transfer over the summerboard app?

SSH is available, and yes, it'd be possible to transfer the app over... it wouldn't work though. Most (if not all) programs will need to be recompiled and possibly re-written to work on 2.0 software.
 
Followed all the instructions, but it still fails at entering DFU mode. I tried running the terminal commands and still nothing.

Oh well.... ziphone wait is on.
 
Do you have a data plan? Does Cincinnati Bell even offer them? According to their website, the only data plan they have is part of their Blackberry package.

I have the blackberry unlimited data plan. I called last week that i have an unlimited data plan. They stated I do.

I received a notice via text this morning that i had to restart my device. I turn Iphone off, then back on and all was working. Thanks for the help.

I am on a company plan, and i never see the bill, so I assume i am on the correct plan and won't rack up a ton of charges.
 
Those of you having a hard time getting the phone into DFU try downloading iLiberty+ and in the advance menu of that app click "Enter DFU Mode"

As I understand it, 3's SIMs don't work in the iPhone.

I can't get the booloaders to work. When I click on links to download them I get:

BL-39.bin.zip and BL-46.bin.zip

When I unzip them I get:
BL-39.bin and BL-46.bin

When I double-click on these I get:
BL-39.bin.cpgz and BL-46.bin.cpgz

If I double-click on these I get:
BL-39 2.bin and BL-46 2.bin

And on and on it goes in a circle, never getting me any kind of "unzipped" file. What am I doing wrong?

Once you've unzipped them, you're left with BL-39.bin and BL-46.bin.

Then run Pwnage Tool and it'll ask for their location when it needs them.
 
I think I got this thing to unlock the phone, but I need to activate it. (stuck at "slide for emergency" But I can see "Rogers" in upper left hand screen)


How do I activate it now?
 
Why do people with iphones come to the iPod touch hacks forum? And yes Cydia is just a better version of installer. For people who say they don't have installer...you do.

Probably because this forum post was linked on the main page in relation to the iphone jailbreak too and no one noticed.
 
If you have Cydia then you have app support. You just have to wait for the apps to be updated and put in the repos.

That's what I was referring to, most stuff has to be made available yet. From the technology standpoint you are correct, it is basically the same, though not as user friendly as installer.
