just back from zibri's blog. take a peek (www.ziphone.org for the virgins) see what he says about DFU? i know the dude is on to something right form the 2.0beta days. now i know your opinion of him, tezz, but check it, he was first with some code zingers in the 2.0 firmware that pointed to a lot of things. he correctly predicted the renaming of .Mac to something else (MobileMe), and the Sgold 3g/gps code. i don't know, but i have some faith in this dude. afterall he made it a little easier for us all to free our phones (him and fredrik grevstad of ziphone GUI fame). heres hoping he lays off that iphonesimfree baseband patch method of unlock and embrace the devteams bootloader hijacking method. i want unlocks to be permanent and not broken by updates, such as pwntool gives with the beta. speaking of which, i hope pwnage works with 2.0. crossing my fingers because winpwn is rubbish and wrecked one iphone already. |

HI, Saw the topic and i decided to just read what you guys knew as long as iphone was concerned,and i'm really surprised with the depth of knowledge flowing from some of the people who i've read their post.I have an ipod nano 4gb and a psp,some weeks ago i took interest in the iphone and i'm thinking of buying it very soon,but the problem is i dont really know anywhere i can get one that i can use my GLO sim card with.So if there is anyone who knows where i can get one and the price it would go for i would like a mail at my box which is sirkayp@yahoo.com or you could just reply this post. Thanks |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by logica(m): 4:23pm On Jul 11, 2008 |
u probably used the beta release of winpwn before the 1.0 release. The latest release is pretty decent and stable. & yeah, 2.0 has already been jailbroken and unlocked (the day after the firmware beta was leaked) but the guys are not releasing it just yet. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by texazzpete(m): 4:39pm On Jul 11, 2008 |
Let's see what Zibri et al can come up with. As for me, i'll believe zibri's genius when i see it in action. i hope they crack this stuff as soon as possible. I've ordered for a $100 itunes gift card, so i should be able to at least buy Super Monkey Ball and Crash Bandicoot for now. naturally, i'll pig out on all the free apps that are any good. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by texazzpete(m): 4:53pm On Jul 11, 2008 |
YEs!! Firmware 2.0 already jailbroken and unlocked http://gizmodo.com/5023971/iphone-os-20-unlocked-yes |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by ExInferis(m): 6:40pm On Jul 11, 2008 |
@logica no, i tried with version 1 which is more stable than the alpha but still not quite stable enough. the trouble is when building custom .ipsw, it crashes midway. thought it was vista so i tried on xp. still the same. pwnage works well for me though. and the beta that was cracked in march will have been patched by now. need itunes account to download apps from appstore |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by ExInferis(m): 6:46pm On Jul 11, 2008 |
downloading 2.0 update right now. heres the link. http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/061-4955.20080710.bgt53/iPhone1,2_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by chikeze(m): 7:16pm On Jul 11, 2008 |
ex inferis and texazzpete can you guys please tell me how to install wikipedia plzzzzzzzzz. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by logica(m): 9:58pm On Jul 11, 2008 |
i have used the latest 1.0 release to create @ least 4 different custom ipsw files. I believe there have been 3 minor releases for version 1.0 so you may want to get the latest (which is probably 1.0.3 or something). The very first 1.0 release was indeed quite buggy but the bugs were quickly fixed. I only had a problem in version .99 which of course was beta. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by ExInferis(m): 10:30pm On Jul 11, 2008 |
@logica theres only one 1.0, and its 1.0RC, meaning Release Candidate, meaning its not evn stable enough yet to be gold. dont wory, pwnage works fine on my mac, just want a windows version for some buddies. im done downloading 2.0 its 225.1 mb @chikeze tezz has given a link already |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by ExInferis(m): 10:50am On Jul 12, 2008 |
ok, got itunes 7.7 last night, just installed and im browsing the App store now. not bad, but i still think installer has nothing much to fear-for now. im holding off updating yet because i don't have an itunes store account- will remedy that by monday-and i don't want to lose installer. you need an itunes account to get even the free stuff, and so far im not blown away by what i see here. still hanging on to 1.1.4 until monday. UPDATE: couldnt wait until monday, so went ahead and got my itunes store account already. downloading the free apps now. still holding off upgrading the iphone, i hear some are getting bricked already with no way to revert since ziphone wont downgrade BL UPDATE: my apps collection so far. still downloading. will zip them up and upload them on megaupload or skydrive .

How to get a free iTunes account without a credit card http://www.winandmac.com/tips/free-itunes-account-no-matter-where-you-live/ or http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-get-a-Free-Itunes-Account-No-Credit-Card-N/ if you need to buy Appstore apps, get someone in the Us to buy an iTunes gift card. You can then redeem it in the Appstore and buy some apps. @Ex Inferis I thought Bible was a paid app? have you started buying some? besides, uploading 'em to megaupload wont work. There are already torrents of these apps, but they don't work on other iPhones. I guess itunes checks your purchase history or something. Even the free Apps are DRMd. if the App store gets cracked, that may be bad news for all. For now developers see it as an awesome opportunity to make money, but piracy may chage all that. Can't wait to see what id software comes up with. Even EA and THQ are showing off iPhone apps at E3. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by texazzpete(m): 8:21am On Jul 14, 2008 |
chikeze: Can you chaeck this site http://code.google.com/p/wiki2touch/ You'll be able to find all the instructions you need. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by ExInferis(m): 11:06am On Jul 14, 2008 |
@arsenal4eva (really? not manU4eva then. go manU, yay!) no, you just need to have a US billing address and number to register for an account in the US store. @tezz bible app is freebie. DRM is one of the easiest things to strip off, so keep your fingers crossed and wait a couple more weeks. we can thank nokia's yeye "symbian signed" for influencing apple to drm their apps. by the way, ipod games bought on an itunes account are easily synced to other ipods, besides your purchases are linked to your account, not the particular ituines you used to buy stuff. at least thats what i think. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by ExInferis(m): 11:14am On Jul 14, 2008 |
texazzpete: you can bet tomorrows sunshine the App store will fall to piracy. since when have DRM'd music being strip bare of their copy protection? since before DVD Jon. sometimes its a good thing, some of these apps are overpriced (not as expensive as ngage games though, honest) and the free stuff are mostly dog turd. mark my words, soon we shall start heading off to demonoid or mininova to fill 'er up. texazzpete: or ubisoft UPDATE: im going to brave cydia. goodbye BSD Subsystem (simport, appflow and other gear are off too since they need BSD utilities which cydia replaces. but from my unix experience i feel cydia gives a better implementation of shell tools, just like the coders assert.) i have succeeded in bricking 2 iphones already-all mine, thankfully, and im willing to sacrifice this 8gigs (my sister's, but she wont mind too much. she loves LG prada and is wrapped u now having fun) and see what cydia has to offer. its the same phone im giving over to 2.0 the 16gigs will be 1.1.4 for now until zibri or the devteam liberate it. wish me luck !! |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by logica(m): 12:40pm On Jul 14, 2008 |
Ex Inferis: You are wrong. There have been 2 minor releases for winpwn version 1.0. The versions are: 1.0 RC1 1.0.0.2 RC1 1.0.0.3 RC1 The minor versions of course were for bug fixes. The last is of course the latest and that's the one I use. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by ExInferis(m): 1:21pm On Jul 14, 2008 |
logica: you misunderstood me, logica, what i mean is the only upgrade from 0.99 to 1.0.x is still a Release Candidate irrespective of minor upgrade levels. 0.99 was alpha, RC1 qualifies as beta. so far no release is even gamma to qualify as RC2 yet talk more of a stable 1.0 release. whereas pnwage is going 2.0, winpwn is still locked in a testing stage. we can blame cmw's decision to use qemu for that (even though we must give him credit for the daunting task.) or maybe windows is the culprit. linux should have no problem as it shares the same root as os x. in any case, im not comfortable enough yet with winpwn to give to my anorak buddies. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by logica(m): 4:00pm On Jul 14, 2008 |
i clearly said there were MINOR releases for 1.0 and you said there was only one. A lot of important fixes were made to arrive at 1.0.0.3 RC1 and a lot of people who downloaded the first release - 1.0 had messed up a lot of phones. I had simply mentioned that 1.0.0.3 doesn't have all those problems. simple. and winpwn is going 2.0 as well. just check out the website. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by ExInferis(m): 5:10pm On Jul 14, 2008 |
logica: lets not make mountains out of molehills, dear logica. what purpose will be served by going on about version numbers? my last word is that no matter the upgrades, winpwn IS STILL A RELEASE CANDIDATE SOFTWARE, AND I ONLY APPLY FINISHED, COMPLETE, STABLE, FULLY TESTED AND GOLD RELEASED SOFTWARE TO UNLOCK MY IPHONES. THIS HAS BEEN MY POINT ALL ALONG. PWNAGE IS NOT RC1, ITS A COMPLETE RELEASE. forgive the upercase, im not shouting, just letting you appreciate the import of my stance. in any case, thanks for pointing out the winpwn update. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by texazzpete(m): 5:29pm On Jul 14, 2008 |
@Neoteny Lol. Only apply fully tested, stable apps eh? So how do you explain the bricks? Tha devilz at work? |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by Neoteny(m): 9:15am On Jul 15, 2008 |
texazzpete: we can blame that on the fact that i left my brain in "Park". lol, actually i used winpwn for the first bricking (some idiot's tut i followed). second brick, after downgrading to 1.1.3 (poor signal reception after upgrading, thought it was baseband related) the phone only shows a white screen after the apple bootup logo. when i connect to itunes its not recognized. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by logica(m): 6:31pm On Jul 15, 2008 |
you're actually the 1 making the proverbial mountain. 1st, the creator of winpwn was only being as upfront and academic as possible when he adds the RC1 suffix to the releases as he felt his product was not good enough to be called a full release (possibly he is a perfectionist). his releases are no worse than many other software we have been using for the jb/unlock process. all of them are liable to bricking (as accurately pointed out by pete) but of course the bricking incidents are reduced to a minimum. like i pointed out, i only had a problem with the .99 beta and the very 1st 1.0 release. and again the point i made was i had said there were minor releases for 1.0 and u said there was only one 1.0 (basically saying there are no other releases either minor or major). next u said pwnage is going 2.0 and winpwn wasn't, and again u were wrong. there really shouldn't be a big deal though, since winpwn is simply supposed to be a windows port of pwnage. and .99 must have had both alpha and beta, but of course the beta is the version released to the wider community for testing. alpha s/w as i'm sure u know is usually only released to a restricted community of testers. so u cannot say .99 was just alpha. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by hayprof(m): 7:27pm On Jul 15, 2008 |
My internet speed was superb dis morning while looking 4 wat to download, i picked up d iphone version 2.0 FW link postd here, Is it of use 2 any1? |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by arsenal4va(m): 1:44pm On Jul 18, 2008 |
hey all do i need to update my iphone to the 2.0 inorder to transfer applications from itunes to iphone?? as i have dowloaded a few apps but dont know how to get it on the phone, and do ull sugest the update? |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by arsenal4va(m): 2:18pm On Jul 18, 2008 |
ok just read that only 2.0 supports the application sync , does the 2.0 upgrade lock the phone ? and does it have to be unlocked ?? |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by ExInferis(m): 4:40pm On Jul 20, 2008 |
pwnage tool 2.0 finally out today. its here http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/42858313/thanks-for-waiting#disqus_thread currently it jailbreaks, activates and unlocks 1st gen iphone with 2.0 firmware. it does not unlock 3G iphones for now. its for Mac only (lucky me!) so windows users will have to wait for cmw's winpwn-and the site is down now. however if you have leopard 10.5.4 you will experience probs. if you cant wait for winpwn and you dont have a mac but have good bandwidth, look for kalyway or iatkos 2.0 for OSx86: it allows you to run mac OS X leopard on normal windows intel computers. on the pwnage link above are links to bootloaders 3.9 and 4.6. get them, but if u have used pwnage 1.1 then u probably already have them. please read the comments. me, im going 2.0 at 1800 hours this evening, bye all. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by arsenal4va(m): 11:13am On Jul 24, 2008 |
@ex inferis , how is the 2.0 working out for ya ? is it possible to go back to 1.14 ? |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by ExInferis(m): 9:59am On Jul 25, 2008 |
@arsenal if you bootneuter you can always downgrade because bootloader sigchecks are unshackled from the baseband. if however you load up 2.0 from a pre-pwned ipsw to an un-pwned iphone you can't go back down, baseband will be stuck at 4_05_04G. at least these are my thoughts. when i was on 2.0 beta i downgraded back to 1.1.4. 2.0 is okay, appstore tells me im in an unsupported country. some itunes-downloaded apps are not syncing. will post up some screenshots soon as i get some time. meanwhile cmw has come through and winpwn 2.0.0.2 is out. get it at http://rapidshare.de/files/40074565/winpwn_2.0.0.2_Setup.zip.html or mirror is at http://www.elitar.ch/share/winpwn_2.0.0.1_Setup.zip tuts at http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1572 cheers. |
Re: iPhone Killer Apps Section!! by ExInferis(m): 10:07am On Jul 25, 2008 |
UPDATE: follow this tut if you want to downgrade from 2.0 to 1.1.4 http://www.coderetard.com/2008/07/14/downgrade-iphone-v20-to-v114-firmware-and-baseband/ UPDATE: meanwhile Cydia and Installer apps don't work on 2.0 for now. i have wedict from the app store! if only someone will get simport up there. super monkey ball is not working. i tried putting it in /Applications with ispazio pc suite but i needed to set permission to 775 i think following a tut om haklab. didnt work. obviously fairplay stiill has miles to go before its cracked guess we have to buy our apps now. but hang on, its possible they can be reversed engineered and put up on Installer or Cydia since the SDK is readily available.
