Dear sifu(s),

(jailbreak, pwnage, quickpwn, baseband, DFU, ipsw, etc etc... arghhhh.. what are those words.. where they coming from? )

hope anyone can help me.. step by step guidance, what i need to do to upgrade my iphone. thanks in advance for all the helps..

Thanks David,
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/790913 : i read there only to jailbreak/unlock other than FW 2.0. mine is still running 1.1.4

You can upgrade from Fw 1.1.4 to 2.2 or 2.2.1. No problems at all. Done this countless of times.

If you don't dare to do it, consult Hanxz @ http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=826183&hl

I have just changed my sim card this Monday and it seems that there is a bug in the recent batches of Celcom Sim Card. Swap Parents Sim Card(No DC or Call Failed).Any Solutions here?Thanks in advance

@ boogie78 & javtan

unfortunately, we do not have many users on celcom (using the maxis bound iPhones). hence you might have to wait out for this.

Hi All Sifu out there.

Is there any different between the SW downloaded from iTunes and the SW downloaded here?

will the SW downloaded via iTunes will cause my wifi not working?


Cheers.

no difference. you can try both if it makes you feel better

I am facing the same problem after MNP from Maxis to Celcom. Been to Celcom center number of times but no improvement. Change sims and so on. I tried my Maxis sub line on it and its work like a charm. Seems that currently only my Celcom Post Paid Sim having this call drop problem. Anyone else have this problem?

For those who are having issues with the "Call Failed", this is not a perfect solution but a workaround.

I have tried this with javtan via pm as i asked him to plugin the headphones to make calls. So far 98% calls without error using headphones while 30% success of making a call without the headphone with 70% call failed.

Another solution is to use old batch of simcards as have tested with forumer prototype_x0 and javtan also stated the same results.

Will give it a try and let you guys know.

for those of you with the "call failed" problem, has anyone of you tried toggle the "Show My Caller ID" ON?

try to set airplane mode on first if you're unable to toggle the caller ID to on.

ITunes not being able to verify Iphone Itunes Remote App

Phone Generation : 3G
Unlocked? YesCurrent Firmware :2.2.1
iTunes Version :8.1.1
Computer Platform :Vista 64
Jailbreaking software : none
Problem Encountered :
Basically i downloaded the itunes remote app from the app store.. it's a great app and it worked for a while.

Unfortunately, I recently installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 on my Vista 64 PC. This basically broke the app for me.

Basically i can pair my iphone up over my home wireless network and itunes will recognise my iphone as a device. But when i enter the passcode on my remote to allow it to control itunes, itunes will not verify the remote passcode.

So if anyone out there is using remote and KIS2009 successfully, any help on the settings would be appreciated.

Steps Had Taken (list down) :I've tried disabling the firewall but putting mdsnresponder, itunes and applemobiledevices into trusted apps on KIS but no luck so far.
Problem Screenshot (if any) :
Other Information / Remarks : I hope this is the right place to ask. Google hasn't come up with any results to my problem so any help from these forums is appreciated.
