1st of all, Gong Xi Fa Chai to all Chinese forumers here

Just JB & unlocked my locked 3G set yesterday with FW 3.1.2 using blackra1n. So far only encountered 2 problems:-
1) Unable to use YouTube at all. 'Cannot connect to YouTube'
2) Unable to locate current location. 'Your location could not be determined'

Already download the FW from 2 diff PC & did it again, even after 3rd try oso the outcome the same, any solution guys?

Since i'm on Win, cannot upgrade to 3.1.3 yet izit?

How about unlocking IMEI number from the network,

If we buy iphone 3g from maxis and do not pay bills following the contract, they gonna block the phone through IMEI ? and how to unlock this thing ?

i was on firmware 3.1.3. i tried to restore/downgrade to 3.1.2 firmware.. but error occured! issit i cannot restore to 3.1.2 from 3.1.3 firmware?

most simplest n easiest jb solution known to man..
redsn0w isnt tat hard either, but for u, i suppose rain is the way to go

It's no secret that Apple detests the jailbreaking community. They have claimed that jailbreakers violate their EULA and consequently, break the law. However, this has yet to be proven in court. Jailbreakers have enjoyed a long history of fighting Apple punch for punch. When programmers, such as the iPhone Dev Team, conquer a specific piece of Apple hardware or software, Apple retaliates with a hardware or software update to minimize available exploits, thereby sending developers back to the drawing board. It seems to be an endless game of cat and mouse.

According to a recent report from Redmond Pie, it looks like Apple may be taking a slightly more aggressive approach. If someone jailbreaks, they'll just disable their Apple ID, essentially crippling them from enjoying the pleasures of the App Store. Sherif Hashim, a developer that found a baseband exploit in the latest version of the iPhone OS (3.1.3), recently got a message on his phone stating "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons." In addition, iH8sn0w, the hacker behind the PwnageTool alternative, Sn0wbreeze, also had his account disabled.

It doesn't seem like Apple is targeting John Doe jailbreakers. The people mentioned above are pretty heavy hitters. However, that doesn't mean Apple isn't planning to make this a more widespread solution. Perhaps this is just a test phase. Sadly though, this will not stop people from jailbreaking. If anything, it could result in the exact opposite--more illegal app downloading. Should jailbreakers not be allowed to purchase anything from the App Store, it's possible that they'd begin downloading illegal content (stuff they'd otherwise pay for) through various repositories in Cydia, Icy, or wherever. Either way, a punch has been thrown. The jailbreaking community is sure to issue a response.

I have a 3GS Maxis set, i dont need to unlock it, just need to jailbreak it for me to install apps. Is there anyway to jb 3.1.3?

after i tried to restart the phone... BOOM! froze on the apple logo screen forever!

nop it doesnt work...i try alot time d

i dunno is this a correct place to ask...

i m using 3GS with firmware 3.0.1.. when i bought it, i JB with RedSnow and i hv the SHSH thingy in Cydia..

now I would like to upgrade to 3.1.2 but i have a few questions:
a) will all my apps still (installed tru Cydia / App store) inside my phone?
b) all the saved data like notes and saved data in apps will still be there right?
c) how should i upgrade from my current 3.0.1 to 3.1.2? i cant upgrade from Itunes right?

pls advise.. thanks

its a good thing u hv the file on server thing..
now, u can go to 3.1.2, however, thr is a certain tweak u hv to do..
u can follow the guide here..its a simple task..
once u add tat line, u hv to manually download the 312 firmware..u can find it on the first page of this thread...
then abt ur saved data..ie notes, games n all tat, b4 u restore, go to itunes n make a backup of ur current state of the phone..
once u restore to 312, u can choose to restore the backup...simple
cydia data wud be gone, so u'll hv to make it rain again n download ur cydia apps again
