he has a mac

Problem solved now Jailbreak!

[androidkaita]

Leopard or Tiger?

The reason it dosnt work, is because I cant figure it out, and whenever I've done it, it dosnt detect my hard-drive. From what I gather, it is very specific to what hardware you have, and you need to format it a certain way, but if Im wrong and just missing a few simple steps, plz tell me, I'd love to run OSX

Same problem i had when trying it on my old PC ... i beleive it needs some forum of special partition'ing i think its just basic FAT 32 but im unsure...
But lets not turn this into an OSX86 Thread ;)

[androidkaita]

Omg.

I went to my friends, and every time I would try to jailbreak, it would just say failed to go into DFU mode, wtf? It didnt even show me how to get into DFU mode, it just immediately says I haz fail.

[Vanden]

What program are you useing...


You can even do it from the ipod itself...

Step 1. Turn off your iPhone.

Step 2. Hold down the power and home button.

Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the home button down.

Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that its in restore mode.

Alternative Method:

Step 1. Connect iphone to USB then listen to the sound when it connect and disconnect.

Step 2. Hold the home and power buttons until hear the disconnect sound then release power button.

Step 3. Wait until you hear another sound then release home button.

[androidkaita]

Yeah, I did that myself, and I went into DFU mode, and then I didnt know how to get out so I ended up restoring to default 2.0 all over agian.

[Vanden]

It whould help if you told me what app your use to jail break...

Nvm, went straight to 2.0, easy as. And I dont really want to jailbreak 2.0 yet.

Just wanted to tell everyone, go and download VNC Lite from the App Store. Its fantastic.

VNC Lite pretty much lets you control and view your desktop. The Premium version has a few better features. I thought it worked really well and its the closest thing to TouchPad.

Besides that, Google Mobile and Cube Runner are quite good.

Ok, I have a question, I just ordered an iPhone and am going to get the required data plan when it comes in. I am not going to get the additional texting plan, but I can still use EVERYTHING else on the phone without charge right?

Like GPS, email, internet, iTunes, etc?

[Frenchb0ygenius]

I'm not too sure about the 3G iPhone plans, but I know that on my 1g iPhone I got the basic data plan and was able to use all the features.

[GmDude66]

Yea, I believe it's the same exact plan as the original iPhone but with 3G support enabled.

[Vanden]

Yes you can use everthing..

[Vee]

The original iPhone is 2G not 1G.

[Frenchb0ygenius]

By 1G i meant 1st gen.

[Vee]

Oh alright.


Has anyone had trouble with their App Store applications? All of a sudden, all of mine stopped working. You load them up then the top bar is shown, followed by it crashing and sending me back to the Springboard. I had to delete and reinstall them all. Really annoying.

[androidkaita]

Im surprised nobody has mentioned this yet, but yeah.. app store apps have been hacked, but only a few

[TeamOverload]

I haven't seen anything about it?

[androidkaita]

Well I obviously cant really hand out the information on here, but basically people have found a way to bypass the DRM and allow you to get apps for free, but they have to like crack it first, so theres only about 5 apps that have been cracked so far.

Super Monkey Ball and Crash Nitro kart are 2 of them, so I was pretty happy.

[TeamOverload]

I'll look around for it.

[Vee]

Just searched about, it isnt easy.

I didnt want to JB 2.0 untill the installer was released and everyone started developing for it, no point in jailbreaking now just to copy across a few applications.

[androidkaita]

well cydia now has customize, so themes can start to get on 2.0, even though i have no idea how to work customize.

And imo its really worth the time it takes to get it for free, its really not as hard as it sounds/

[Fzero]

I'm getting an iPhone 3G ordered in can't wait

[TeamOverload]

Unlocking some iPhone my friend found a few weeks ago that was never claimed, too bad like one third of the screen is busted and all staticy. Pain in the ass cause the thing was password protected and such and couldn't even connect it to iTunes. Finally about to have it jailbroken and on 1.1.4 though. damn I want an iPhone for myself, gonna unlock that sucker as soon as I turn 18 and can use it on Verizon :)
