yeah, watching the unlock video on youtube.
wondering if any of you have the 3.0 firmware stored already incase apple tries
to pull some stunt and cover up the leaks (holes/injection vectors) the dev team used to unlock the phone.
just to be on the safe side i have just stored the 3.0 firmware(beta tho) cos i guess in the video unlock,
thats what was used.
now its how to bypass the unique id thingy.

if apple does pull the plug on 3.0 (unlikely) how in hell do you figure using beta fw on your phone? you nuts? get rid of those pills and get down here from those clouds, nucca.

wot you need to hold on to (if you absolutely have to) is the 3.0 GM which is exactly the same stuff everyone's getting come 6pm naija time today.

well, aint nothing really wrong with beta stuff. have been using windows 7 ultimate beta since
february. thing is, come august i might actually miss it (well, the super fetch part of it).

might still be in the clouds tho not with pills but free stella artois!
was so high yesterday i went to watch a friendly cricket match. cricket! of all things.

lungwun:

well, aint nothing really wrong with beta stuff.

seriously? so anything locked in testing phase can be used in realworld productivity environments, abi? is that the jab of your point? ok, look, really, ditch the pills and chillax, guy, because anything deemed as beta means its teeming with bugs; hence the need to seed it prelease in order to find the bugs and quash them. then its on to Release Candidate (in some cases, except Apple) which is essentially to confirm the bugs have indeed been either eliminated or reduced to less aggravating levels. Next up is Gold Master (GM), which is the final product.

which means you're missing more stability and a few nips and tucks here and there on the UI. im running on Windows 7 Ultimate RC. loving it! finally MS is challenging Apple's leopard.

good luck with the Red Bull, challenger!

And yeah, the english are a strange lot. proof - they drive on the wrong side of the road.
and i just got beaten on by rain to crown it all. when is the ETA of 3.0?
have been waiting eagerly and checking every hour.

true blood naija, indeed. why you come pack your load run dey squat with those Pakis and loud indians? think the grass is greener? some of us actually got fed up and returned, and so far its all good, bar one or two hiccups. (ok, a million hiccups, but waddaya do?)

well its supposed to be 10am Pacific Standard Time which if i remember correctly should be like 6pm naija. im more family with the Eastern time zone, PST is not my thing.

you pimply lot on that dreary island use GMT, i presume? well go figure, Pinchley

My brother na school o. i wonder if masters na by force. i for even do am for naija but,
those our lecturers sef. when i finish i go sharply show back to come chop federal govt money.

on a diff note, just downloaded 3.0. its all up to the dev team now. keeping my fingers n toes crossed.

i just got this iphone, i`m kind of confused cos i don`t know how to install applications like games and other.
heard it was done on the net, still don`t know how.

I advise you read every page on this thread.

Guranteed success

Hey peeps, I need you guys to help me out on this, I can't use facebook with the Safari browser on my iphone, it keeps logging me out immediately I sign in, What do I do?How can I get another browser on my iphone? How can I add sources to my iphones so I can get more applications? How can I use facebook peeeps,

there is a free facebook application in the appstore; you just need an account. luckily iphone OS 3.0 allows you to do just that from the phone itself.

Doyn1,

While I don't know your OS version, the problem you described is a known cookie problem. There used to be a fix for that on Installer, and I suppose the fix has been moved to Cydia. I'm feeling to lazy to help you do a search, so get working on google.

Oya now my people. I need you to please help me out with using facebook on my Iphone, Guys make it happen for me,

First of all, do you have an itunes account?
if you do, there is this app thingy on your iphone called appstore.
open it up/launch it, check under top 25 and select top free
you should see facebook there, its number 24 on the list select it and install it
and bobs your uncle!
if you dont have an itunes account i strongly recommend you create one.
feel free to pop back for more queries

Thanks for yours gesture peeps, 1, I dont hv the application called appstore on my iphone and I also dont have an Itunes acct since I hv to register and I guess its restricted to peeps out of Naija cos of d credit card thing, Please what do I do??

Follow these 10 steps

1. Just open iTunes on your lap or desktop,

2. go to iTunes store

3. Click on Apps tore to your left

4. click on free apps on your right

5. look for and get the facebook application

6. iTunes will prompt you to create an account

7. follow the leads, when it gets to credit card type, if u are in Nigeria tick none (cos they dont recognise any  cards from here no matter how valid or authentic)

8. Then input a valid address in a country listed for apple store.

9. The account will be created and you will get the facebook app downloaded on ur iTunes which can further be synced to ur iPhone or iTouch.

10. Then get yourself a beer!!

If he doesn't have the appstore app, it means he's running firmware 1.1.x.
i've seen a couple of people still on that shyte, complete with the Ziphone icon on the springboard

If i remember correctly Ex Inferis used to be a Zibri supporter

texazzpete:

If he doesn't have the appstore app, it means he's running firmware 1.1.x.

yeah, chatted with him yest and he is running on 1.1.4.
suggested he upgrade to 2.x but not 2.2.1.
guys are buying the 3GS PAYG for 440 aren't ya interested?

texazzpete:

If i remember correctly Ex Inferis used to be a Zibri supporter

still am! got my second iphone classic on 1.1.2, with BL 4.6. ziphone 3.0 saved my arse.

right now im getting infuriated; wot's the devteam up to? dont really need youtube for now, release Quickpwn 3.0 or pwnagetool already! or maybe they figure they best wait for the 3GS and kill two stones with one bird.

PS: mac os x 10.5.7 has issues wit DFU AGAIN if running itunes 8.2

Ex Inferis:

right now im getting infuriated; wot's the devteam up to? dont really need youtube for now, release Quickpwn 3.0 or pwnagetool already!

have never had the use for the youtube app
so they should please hurry d hell up. since i am on a contract i wouldve upgraded but,
i dont know what i'll do without openSSh and all my emulators

wot use do you still find for secure shelling?

true, i do all my youtubing on pc and download vids via keepvid. on the iphone i use MXTube. but really, devteam, its not like youtube is a killer app. then again they say it goes beyond youtube; apparently push notification doesnt work on non-legit carriers.

there goes my one reason for updating to 3.0!

use the ssh tool mostly for vwallpaper. cos i go everywhere with the set up its quite easy to
place things i find in other peeps systems in the iphone. very convienient and cable free.
so my cable is constantly @ home.

Thanks Cabali, I got the facebook application downloaded on my ITunes, D problem I have now is how to sync it to my iphone Help me out guys,

lungwun:

guys are buying the 3GS PAYG for 440 aren't ya interested?

Where? The info I have is PAYG is scrapped with 3.0; users on PAYG are receiving notifications asking them to choose a plan.

Ex Inferis:

wot use do you still find for secure shelling?

Blasphemy! How else can I conveniently execute *nix commands (have u ever tried a "ps aux" to figure which process is eating up so much resources)?

Thanks Cabali, I got the facebook application downloaded on my ITunes, D problem I have now is how to sync it to my iphone Help me out guys,

um, no. mostly because there are few background resources running at any given time. ive never had memory problems except once playing NFSU, the sh1t'll just freeze. but then reboot is my friend.

still, cant find a use for SSH. or, better yet, a compelling need.

@doyn1

same way you sync your media. if you dont know how to do that then you dont need an iphone; get yourself a Nokia.

Hmm thanks but been using this phone from inception and I sync my media like everyday and all but it wont just work the same way with the applications, Is it a function of my firmware or something,

logica:

Where? The info I have is PAYG is scrapped with 3.0; users on PAYG are receiving notifications asking them to choose a plan.

Well i can tell from first hand info (went to the O2 store to talk about upgrading my phone)
that the 3GS is available PAYG at 440 pounds (besides, the guys politely told me to f**k off).

Doyn1:

Thanks Cabali,  I got the facebook application downloaded on my ITunes, D problem I have now is how to sync it to my iphone Help me out guys,

doyn1, select your iphone in itunes and under the applications tab, pretty straight forward from here.
if you still cant work it out, maybe you should stick to symbian s60 devices. they are sooo for the gen pop!

Doyn1, come to think of it i actually tried syncing an iphone 2g with my jailbroken apps but they
did not sync. i guess you may be right on this one.

which one is "jailbroken apps" again? Cydia apps, cracked appstore apps, or your own figment of imagination fueled by all those multicolored pills in your pocket?

@Logica

iphone 3GS is available on PAYG on O2. made my sis ask. she plans on getting one.

haha, slip of finger my brain actually sent cracked apps but my fingers have a mind of thier own.
