Want your 3rd Party Apps Back to your iPhone?

Do you have an iBrick right now? Do you updated to firmware 1.1.1 by mistake? Do you miss your native IM Client and NES Games Collection?

Now you can Downgrade from 1.1.1 Firmware to 1.0.2 Hackable Firmware

Isn`t this good news? You bet they are.

If you just bougth a new 1.1.1 iPhone or upgraded to this 1.1.1 scary update by mistake, this is your lucky day.

Jesus Diaz From Gizmodo confirmed on video the downgrade from version 1.1.1 to 1.0.2. Being succesfull at his attempt. (more…)

iPhone Version 1.1.1 vs. Hacked Version

This chart can get you decide to stick with the Hacked 1.0.2 features or get the Oficial 1.1.1 firmware update.

9 to 5 Mac

iPhone Firmware 1.1.1 = iPhone relock

The new iPhone Firmware 1.1.1 is out, and is only recommended to people that activated the iPhone with AT&T.

If you unlocked your iPhone with AnySIM or iUnlock don´t update and wait for a new jailbreak aplication coming soon.

If you update to this firmware, the iPhone doesn´t get bricked, but it will return your iPhone to the activation screen.

The iPhone Dev Team should get this thing working fast (remember the free unlock?).

The new Firmware upgrades/fixes:

• iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store
• Louder speakerphone and receiver volume
• Home Button double-click shortcut to phone favorites of music controls
• Space bar double-tap shortcut to intelligently insert period and space
• Mail attachments are viewable in portrait and landscape
• Stocks and cities in Stocks and Waether can be re-ordered
• Apple Bluetooth Headset battery status in the Status Bar
• Support for TV Out
• Preference to turn off EDGE/GPRS when roaming internationally
• New Passcode lock time intervals
• Adjustable alert volume

Here is a summary of what the firmware update does in different scenarios:

The update will work ok in iPhones with no modification.

The update will work ok in iPhones with Installer.app (although it gets wiped out. The apps seem to remain in the iPhone, but they won’t appear in your screen.)

The update will work ok in unlocked iPhones, but it will return your iPhone to the activation screen. From there, no activation is possible. The iPhone doesn’t get bricked but, if you want to keep using it, don’t update your iPhone.

This has been confirmed with both anySIM and iPhone Sim Free.

“Third-party applications won’t work after the update” (confirmed by Dev Team.)

“Firmware 1.1.1. relocks iPhone properly” (confirmed by Dev Team.)

Unlocked iPhones updated to 1.1.1 will work with legit AT&T cards (confirmed by Natetrue)

iPhoneSimFree, the pay-method , reports that the their SIM unlocking solution doesn’t hang your iPhone at the activation stage. You can still activate with an AT&T SIM, but other SIMs won’t work after activation—you’ll have to wait for a new jailbreak for that.

Are you going to wait for a new jailbreak, or you need some of this updates like the Support for TV Out?

Update:According to Jesus Diaz on Gizmodo-

Here`s a video of the firmware update process with my unlocked iPhone (done with iPhone Sim Free.) You can see the result at the end: activation limbo (unless you have a legal AT&T card and a contract. Unlike me and all international users who have unlocked their iPhones.)

Youtube

If you don`t want your iPhone on Activation limbo, just wait. You waited all this time for a free unlock right? Now you need to wait with your unlocked iPhone. Is that hard?

Wordpress Admin plugin for iPhone

If you have an iPhone and a WordPress blog then this is your lucky day, because Dan Cameron released the WordPress Admin Plugin for iPhone. Now when you login to you admin account through your iPhone you will see a minimalist interface suited for the iPhone. Now we can post on the go, but with some limitations, there’s no copy/paste right?

Here is the interface:

Horizontal typing may come handy. I write faster, because there is more room between keys, does that happen to you?

Just install the plugin in your WordPress self-hosted blog and give it a try!

Lock or not to Unlock that´s the Question

The cat and mouse battle officially started and this is Apple posture against iPhone unlocking.

CUPERTINO, Calif., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Apple has discovered that many of the unauthorized iPhone unlocking programs available on the Internet cause irreparable damage to the iPhone’s software, which will likely result in the modified iPhone becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone software update is installed. Apple plans to release the next iPhone software update, containing many new features including the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store (www.itunes.com), later this week. Apple strongly discourages users from installing unauthorized unlocking programs on their iPhones. Users who make unauthorized modifications to the software on their iPhone violate their iPhone software license agreement and void their warranty. The permanent inability to use an iPhone due to installing unlocking software is not covered under the iPhone’s warranty.

Don’t worry, its all okay and cool. You just need to stay away from the firmware update. Who needs the WiFi Music Store? Only Apple needs it so he can make money!

Just don’t update your firmware and you are good to go. Or there is another way you can follow, but you need to wait until next week, because the iPhone Dev Team is coding a tool which will be able to recover your nck counter and seczones that enables you to restore your phone to a Factory-like state. That’s pretty uhu?

If you have an unlocked iPhone my advice is to stay away from the firmware update, and wait for a solution, that I will inform here. It may be convenient to subscribe to my feed so you can get updates on the brand that you love and hate.

T-Mobile & Apple Deal Confirmed

We talked about T-Mobile having closed an exclusive deal with Apple for providing the new iPhone on Deutschland, well.. that is now something confirmed by Apple and The iPhones are rolling out on the same day as in the United Kingdom at Novembrer 9.

The iPhone will be sold in Germany through Telekom Shops of Deutsche Telekom and the T-Mobile web shop. You would need a 2-year contract with T-Mobile or you can unlock it

The 8GB model is going to cost €399 including V.A.T.

If all goes as expected tomorrow its the turn for France to have an iPhone

Apple and T-Mobile Announce Exclusive Partnership for iPhone in Germany

O2 Official iPhone Carrier On UK

O2 is the carrier of choice for the iPhone on the United Kingdom. The iPhone will arrive on Novembrer 9.

The price of the 8GB iPhone is going to be £269 ($535 USD) including VAT. Carphone WhareHouse is going to distribute the iPhone in the UK with over 1300 retail stores. Visual Voicemail is going to be enabled too. Unlimited Data with £35, £45, £55 plans. You are going to Activate the iPhone on iTunes just like you do on AT&T.

Guess what?

No 3G yet, only EDGE, but O2 made an arrangement with TheCloud.net to put over 7500 Free WiFi hotspot in the UK for the iPhone. This event only covers the UK and later they are going to announce other carrier arrengements.

The reason the iPhone is not getting 3G Network Compatibility is because this according to Steve Jobs:

“The 3G chipsets are real power hogs. Handset battery life cuts power to 2-3 hours. Our phone has a talk time of 8 hours and that’s really important when you want to use your phone for internet and music. 3G needs to get back up to 5+ hours, something we think well see later next year. … WiFi is way faster than any 3G network. Energy efficient EDGE with better, faster WiFi. That’s why we chose it.”

The iPhone Ads on the United Kingdom are going to be the same as the United States but with a British voiceover. And Instead of Showing the New York Times they are showing The Guardian.

Maybe while Steve Jobs is on Europe is going to announce the T-Mobile deal in Deutschland, right?

Update:Maybe tomorrow they are going to announce the T-Mobile or Vodafone deal on Germany. Then on Thursday the turn its for France, and T-Mobile or Orange are candidates.

engadget

T-Mobile to Distribute iPhone on Deutschland

Deutsche Telekom has closed an exclusive deal with Apple Inc to sell the revolutionary iPhone in Germany, at a price of 399 euros, that’s about $554 dollars.

T-Mobile has agreed to share revenue generated by the iPhones with Apple. I think Apple is going to get 40% revenue share based on this.

The German operator would be the first European company to distribute the iPhone. Let’s wait a couple of days for the announcement, to clear doubts.

iUnlock: Easier & Faster

iUnlock is finally finished by the iPhone Dev Team. Get ready to unlock your iPhone in about 3 to 5 minutes. There is a Version for Windows in a .pxl file and now this for Mac OS X Users. I may think that this new iUnlock.app is going to display a progress bar etc. You just need to do this steps:

Download iUnlock Reloaded

• upload all 3 files to your phone in some location you prefer
• ssh in
• run iUnlock_Reloaded (./iUnlock_reloaded)
• be happy if its done

Sam a member of the iPhone Dev Team says this:

The push the button iCandy gui version is not yet released casue of troubles with the new toolchain. Will be out in a few, once toolchain is fixed up.

This is a faster method and you will be able to get flashing the firmware in 5 minutes or less a great improvement from those 20 minutes of pain with the first realease

If you have windows then use this file:

Unlock.pxl

And install it with iBrickr

iPod Touch vs iPhone Interface

Here its a nice video that compares the new iPod Touch with the iPhone interface. A diferrent thing on the iPod Touch is that in the calendar application there is no “Add Event” like the iPhone does, to activate an alarm an such. Basicaly is the same interface and same functionality wraped in another thiner device (iPod Touch).

I like the iPod Touch Dock better than the iPhone dock (or SpringBoard). Whats your opinion?

Download Unlock.app

Finally a beta version of iPhone Free Software Unlock is now available. You need to download (see update below) the app and then upload to your iPhone /Applications/ Directory

It should be /Applications/Unlock.app/

You need to Jailbreak your iPhone

• iBrick for Windows
• INdependence for Mac OS X

Follow the guides on the previous post.

You should now see The Unlock icon on your iPhone!

Run The Unlock.app on your iPhone just click it.
Leave it for about 20mins to work. The beta version is slow Harro hastn`t slept later on there should be a faster version
Pause at Flashing Firmware for 20minutes, this wont move the percentage bar because this is beta.The new version will be a 2-5minute process.

When you are done Restart your iPhone and you have an unlocked iPhone

Enjoy!

unlock

Update: According to gizmodo HaRRo the guy is not the author of the free software unlock and thats why the download link its down.

I uploaded the files needed to unlock your iPhone.

On windows the easiest way is to use iBirckr. Jailbreak your iPhone and then install this Unlock.pxl file. The Unlock app should appear on your iPhone desktop, then click and follow instrucitons above.

If you use Mac download this zip file Unlock.app.zip.

upload it to this directory

/Applications/Unlock.app/

Check out on the threads here for more information

Free iPhone Unlock Now Available

You are going to be able to use your iPhonee with your preferred GSM carrier.

This unlock was created by the iPhone Dev Team and its named iUnlock. It’s restore-resistant. HaRRo one of the contributors to the unlock says an app that does all the complicated thing you see on the tutorials, should be out very soon.

Stay Tuned

Update: First image of the Unlock app interface, not ready yet.

iPhone Ready to Unlock

Well finally I have my iPhone ready to unlock. I was lucky; thanks to AT&T I couldn’t buy it before the price drop and then I found the last iPhone on the Apple Store at La Cantera in San Antonio. I am going to record on video when unlocking my iPhone to share with you.

I decided to wait a little bit and not buy iPhone SIM Free unlock and I think that good things come to those who wait. A Freeware unlock is coming soon according to this thread in Hackint0sh Forum and here.

Lets see what happens in a couple of hours. Maybe you could get your unlock free of charge.

iPhone Reaches One Million Sales

“One million iPhones in 74 days — it took almost two years to achieve this milestone with iPod,” said Steve Jobs

Today Apple announced that it has finally broke the one million iPhone sales barrier.

Steve Jobs also adds:

“We can’t wait to get this revolutionary product into the hands of even more customers this holiday season.”

The sales will significantly increase with the new price on the iPhone, i know that because i got a new iPhone ready to unlock

I will be recording a video about my experience with the unlocking software stay tuned.

iPhone SIM Free Confirmed on Video

The delay of the iPhone SIM Free Unlock its because they are setting up the bussines part and getting ready to deliver the software to all of their resselers. As gizmodo informs, they are finaliazing the database and all the backend stuff to manage licenses, etc.

The video shows how the software works. iPhone SIM Free sells the software to the resselers and then the resselers send you the software and the unlocking process took about 3 minutes as shown on the video. The unlock is safe from restores, but you need to jailbreak your phone.

The guy on the video was on the phone with a iPhone Sim Free guy giving instructions etc.

This is the image of the app. You need to click on the Apple to start the applications and get your iPhone to work with any GSM carrier in the world!

iPhone SIM Free is sending out orders today to resselers. The unlock is coming soon. Gizmodo also informs that the iPhone Dev Team, is going to release a free implementation of the software unlock.

Steve Jobs: Thank You Fan Boys

Steve Jobs announced that he is going to compensate the early adopters that bought the iPhone. Apple have decided to offer to every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store.

This is a great surprise for all of us, and reflects the kind of company that Apple is. Apple takes care of their Fan Boys with a lot of respect, and that’s a good thing because Apple is in great debt with their loyal customers. They are the people that spread the word on Apple products and success of the company.

Remember when the iPod was launched, the early adopters got in the iPod wagon and spread the viral iPod fever.

Well, that why Steve Jobs reacted this way. Saying “Thank You” and there you have your $100 in any Apple Product you like.

This is probably going to raise sales, of the new line of products.

I was going to buy a new 4GB iPhone in the little break I had last week. But thanks to AT&T that didn’t happen. I forgot to tell the guy that the iPhone was a present for someone that had AT&T, but well, things happen for a reason and that reason being the $200 price cut.

I leave you the link of the letter Steve Jobs sent to the public.

To all iPhone customers

According to Fake Steve he wanted to give back more but the board voted against him.

iPhone SIM Free Now Accepting Orders

But there is a problem, they state this:

“Iphonesimfree.com is a wholesale only company. Although we could, we do not and will not sell directly to end users, because we want to work together with our valuable resellers as a team and not interfere in their business.”

That means, that you would need to send your iPhone to a reseller or buy the iPhone from the reseller who bought the bulk license to unlock the iPhone. I am not sure how are they going to sell the individual license for the end user. Can the reseller sell individual licenses? Lets wait for a couple of days to see how events align.

The delivery date is on Tuesday, 4th of September. The minimum number of licenses you can order is 50 pieces at $36/ each , thats $1800 USD the minimum investment if you want to be a reseller. I show you the break down of how many licenses you can order and the price:

• 50 licenses: $36/each
• 100 licenses: $34/each
• 250 licenses: $32/each
• 500 licenses: $30/each
• 1000 licenses: $28/each
• 2500 licenses: $27/each
• 5000 licenses: $25/each

iPhonesimfree.com sorted out a good way to protect themselves by selling the licenses to a reseller. The reseller is going to be responsible for selling “Unlocked iPhones” etc. iPhonesimfree.com is only providing the solution, and the resellers make the dirty part.

I will show you the e-mail they sent me:

iPhone unlocking - WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING ORDERS

Orders iPhoneSimFree.com <orders@iphonesimfree.com>

Thank you for contacting us. We are now ready to take orders. Iphonesimfree is the only pure software solution available for iphone unlocking.
Easy to market, easy to use as indicated by several respected independent reviews such as:

CNN:
http://edition.cnn.com/2007/TECH/09/01/apple.iphone/index.html

Engadget:
http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/iphone-unlocked-atandt-

loses-iphone-exclusivity-august-24-2007/

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The reseller or his/her customer must install on the iphone our software, available by mail or through direct download from our site. This is a standard .app file and once installed on the iphone it will show up as a springboard icon on the main screen.

The reseller must log into our back office and enter the required data specific to that iphone (his license credit will be substracted).

Once done, the reseller or the customer must run the .app, which will communicate via the iphone wifi to our server. If the iphone has been registered, the software will proceed to unlock the iphone.

It is that easy! In the unlikely case of any problem happening, we have a 24/7 hotline to assist our resellers.

WHAT IS THE PRICING STRUCTURE?

The minimum number of licenses you can order is 50 pieces. Minimum quantity and pricing are not negotiable.

50 licenses: $36/each
100 licenses: $34/each

500 licenses: $30/each
1000 licenses: $28/each
2500 licenses: $27/each
5000 licenses: $25/each

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: WHAT GUARANTEES DO WE HAVE AGAINST FUTURE UPDATES?

We CANNOT guarantee that this software will work after any future updates for the iphone. It does currently work on all firmware versions, up to and including, 1.02
We will naturally try to provide our resellers an updated version of our software for each firmware update, it is in our interest, but we do NOT guarantee that we will be able to do so.

WE ARE A TEAM:

HOW DO I PLACE AN ORDER:
