Hey people, I've updated the general iPhone 3G details after the developments of the past month as best I could but there's a slight issue however as to how the iPhone 2.5G and iPhone 3G questions should be presented. The issues:

1) There's a 1.1.4 community and a FW 2.0 community. Some questions answer 1.1.4 questions and some for 2.0. Some of them overlap.

2) Some of the questions are not inter-related enough to be grouped into a certain section. For example, iTunes solutions can be hard to group under a certain section. It's not particularly a firmware related issue so I can't group it under the 1.1.4 nor the 2.0 section. Ditto that for iPhone browser etc. A separate section dedicated to these general software issues will be confusing to navigate because then there will be a FW1.1.4 section, a FW2.0 section and a general software section?

Should there just be an iPhone 2.5G section and an iPhone 3G section? But some of the questions apply to both sections so should there also be a General iPhone section?

As you can see, this can prove to be a real headache..


I'm currently working on the pwnage solution to be posted on the FAQ page but is there any other FREQUENTLY ASKED questions that you guys would like to see posted? If so, post the question and the answer in the thread and I will edit the front page as necessary and credit your name alongside it.

Oh, and layout suggestions are very much welcomed because once I'm done with the FW2.0 FAQ section, the page's gonna look a right mess!

Thanks for the help guys.

I was hesitant about wanting to put this or not but after seeing the argument Stringfellow had with some members about the legality of unlocking your iPhone, I think it IS quite necessary. Cheerio for the link!

Hi guys on
QUOTE
A: In a general sense, yes but it's not as straightforward as it sounds. At time of writing, only the New Zealand sells unlocked iPhone 3G's off the shelf. iPhone 3G's that are tied down to carrier plans can be unlocked by obtaining the unlock code from the carrier for a fee.


I think is quite misleading, how can you unlock a phone when it's not locked in the 1st place? hmm.gif

What that statement meant was the iPhone was locked but you have the option to unlock it officially from the carrier.

Maybe in those barrage of words, it wasn't clear enough so I've now bolded the words "tied down to carrier plans".

Thanks for the feedback.. smile.gif

If you do upgrade with itunes, your phone will be locked. Please read this (iPhone JB Links)

yes.. u need those files in order for you to pwn your phone.


Bootloader 3.9:
was the first bootloader to be used on iPhones that were made on week 45 or earlier in 2007. This Bootloader [3.9] allows the iPhone SimFree (IPSF) paid unlock aswell as GeHot's IPSF-like free unlock. Also, this bootloader allows you to downgrade your Baseband (which controls your Wi-Fi, EDGE and Calls) firmware. Downgrading baseband is useful when you updated by mistake or/and want to go back down to a previous iPhone firmware. Bootloader 3.9 does not allow bootloader update

Bootloader 4.6:
is the current bootloader being placed on iPhones as of Week 45 and later iPhones of 2007 and all 2008 iPhones. This bootloader does not allow your baseband to be downgraded, so once you updated, you are stuck there. Also, this bootloader does not allow the IPSF unlock. As you may remember this bootloader caused many problems when it was reviewed by the Dev-Team to look for a software unlock. Now, thanks to GeoHot, this bootloader [4.6] can be unlocked. One important exploit in this bootloader is that it can allow you to downgrade itself to the earlier 3.9 which is good if you want to downgrade baseband or apply IPSF-like unlock.
