actually i created d custom firmware using mac for my fren..... he got no mac and wanted to try to restore it thru windows lor.

good thing about pwnage tool is u can resize your root directory........ default root directory is 500mb and apple system file already use up 414mb...

so anyone did try this method? does it work? thanxQ

You can proceed mate. Just follow the guide and make sure you have everything upated.

The suggested size is 550MB for root partition, not 500MB. With 550MB root partition, my current root left 28% FREE after installing appplications and also Cydia place some important libraries in the root partition.

If you friend has a LOCKED 3G iPhones, then it's pointless to do so. Wait for Ultrasn0w. You friend can just use redsn0w on Windows to jailbreak given his iPhone is officially unlock. That should be easy enough.

em, thats correct, by the way i think there is nothing wrong if he want to restore using xp because the custom restore is somehow like the original firmware, just that the firmware have been custom made where it was pre-installed with cydia etc.


last saturday i have restore my iphone 2 times using the same custom firmware i have made and after i restore everything works fine for me( expect youtube which i think it was my connection problem in my house) but i restore it using my mac and i dont open any pawnage tools during the restoration.

i believe it was the same if your friend use his xp because the custom firmware is still a firmware and it can be restore using either mac or xp.

anyway give it a try and do let us know so that we all can gain knowledge regarding restoration using custom firmware in xp(maybe there an info from google but better we do it our self to try it out.)

cheers.


i use redsn0w to jailbreak my unit( ichi hand want to try it/plus wanto to restore because want to check if youtube app problem or my line problem) and since the firmware took about 414mb space now my iphone only have around 58mb of free space to install cydia app haha...(because i have install some cydia app on my iphone)

last time i use pawnage i set root directory up to 600MB . maybe next time i will use bosstools to resize my root directory size when it fulls.

aiyo.. early this morning i pwn my iphone using pwnage tool 3.0. All going smooth and after that i restore using the custom fw. After finish all back up my iphone, i noticed that my iphone cant detect network. I try restart many time.. eject and insert sim, change sim from celcom, maxis.. Still same thing happen.. Anyone facing the same thing like mine when pwnning? Now i restore back my iphone.. Dont know what is the best solution..

3G Jailbreak tutorial
*Deselect Activate if you have an iPhone legitimately activated on an official carrier.

It is stated on the 1st page.....

Mate, did you upgrade to 3.0 when there's no ultrasn0w available? Pwnagetool will not help you retail your baseband at 2.28.00 on LOCKED iPhone 3G.

Unless you're talking about an official unlock iPhone 3G unit. You're no suppose to allow "Activate the phone" thus giving you no service or enable to detect network. Untick the "Activate the phone" and you'll be fine.

I think it is the later, if the phone is sim locked, it should show invalid sim or something like that

Yes..Untick it. Psyeo and myself are Pwnagetool users and it has never fail to jailbreak given that we follow the instructions applied to it.

Cheers

Hi all, wan to ask you guys.

Added on June 22, 2009, 5:09 pmif not mistaken.....RedsnOw is to jailbreak your iphone
and UltraSnOw is to unlock your iphone (which is lock to certain carier)

I sincerely pity David....People READ the guide first before asking question.

Not to show off...my iphone is a virgin and i have zero idea on how to jailbreak, unlock, upgrade to os3 etc....I read and read, and plan and plan....and so far i only ask two questions to this forum to find out a bit more.

Now...i got my iphone upgrade to os3, itunes to 8.2, redsnow to jalbreak, downloaded some stuff from cydia, download iphone browser....and my iphone is still working properly.

People READ!!!!! I find it funny that some say "i have upgrade my phone to os3 using redsnow"....what?? How the hell you do that.

Anyway, Thanks a lot, David for sorting all these resources and it was a great help. I am still reading and trying to understand OpenSSH. Still can't figure out what it is use for...in plain english...sigh. Will try to understand it tonite.

You are the type of forum member we are trying to cultivate. Although someone new in the scene, you have the initiative and effort to look into the things you need to know, study them, and trust your own judgment to execute your plan based on your research. Trust me, you will be one of the helpers in the scene sooner, and you will get what we all meant when we have been repeatedly without fail to ask these "baby chicks with mouth wide open" to actually try flapping their wings and spot their own worms, rather than have the worms fed to them.

Congratulations on a job well done! And keep on learning, we all are.

EDIT: I may have spoken too soon. Sources says your record aren't too clean when it comes to cracked apps.

Hi,

I just got an iphone 3G from the US and I was trying to unlock it so that it can be used here in Malaysia. My iphone 3G firmware is 2.2.1 (5H11) and modem firmware is 02.30.03 out of box. I have browsed through many tutorials and I have made a conclusion that with my version of firmwares out of box, I can't unlock it without modifying the "hardware". Am I right? Could anyone confirm with me again? What do I need to do to unlock it so that I can use it with Maxis?

I really hope to unlock it or else it will just like an ipod touch.


Thank you.

Did you read the first few post on the thread? I kindly asked you to read on "iPhone 3G Unlock" and why are you posting this same post again?

READ please: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=24872947

Anyone has tried it with the Maxis Iphone 3G? Can I use the 3.0 software from the CD Maxis provided and just use Redsn0w on top of that?
