Hey guys, have some questions. If my friend helps me get an iPhone from the US now, the firmware has to be 1.1.4 right? Is there
a way of checking? Also, how do I know the bootloader and baseband versions?

If it's 1.1.4, I just have to follow the above steps right? As in, download ziPhone v2.5c, connect the iPhone using the USB dock to my laptop and just click do it all?


Sorry, totally clueless on all this. Appreciate your help!

Added on March 5, 2008, 4:55 pmA lot! Haha, that's all I will say, I wanted to the same but after doing some research, found out that SIRIM+customs tax will cost you about RM4-500, not including your wasted time and costs to travel here and there to SIRIM and KLIA.

Customs are smart as well, they know an iPhone when they see one! IMO, it's just not worth the risk to courier it back here.

It's just not worth it, you might as well get it from local sellers if you wanna courier. About the same price, maybe cheaper, can check the phone for problems and if the seller's nice, he'll unlock for you as well. If your friend's coming back to Malaysia, ask him to carry it on him and use as a personal belonging.

I think it would be better you just get it from one of the forumers here if you were to import one back urself. I heard the tax is ridiculously high.

Actually tax not high... its the sirim cert that costs a bomb...

Unfortunately most ppl are not experienced/cunning enough to wiggle their way out of paying for sirim and import duties...

How do you think some forum sellers can get away without paying for sirim or tax

i have ordered items from there also. quite a reliable online shop
now ur baby had re-born ya.. haha

price for the replacement parts seems to be very expensive
hope it will come down when iphone is unlock to other countries

keh keh keh ... ur damage is more severe than mine. Good job.

if only the cover cheaper, i will buy extra and CF it

wait those "unlucky" spoil the phone and sell the parts

A sad day in my iPhone life.....
I updated to 1.1.4...... without a hitch.
but my trigger finger pressed "Do it All"
too fast..... and all is lost... i am at 3.9.
Aaaah..... why?!!!!
Anyone can console me by telling me nothing
bad might come of my downgrading my bootloader?

I tried going into the installer from the phone for the past 20 mine but just hang at the refreshing sources status bar. Wondering whether is there something wrong with their server

same goes here too...... but at least, you can now use locate me function in google map....

Added on March 5, 2008, 10:47 pmi think these guys are making good money as most of the iphones spare parts are sourced from China (I think) and they are selling it in USD!!!!!
They make better money than Apple!!!!

I could use Locate Me function just now.. but somehow, it couldn't detect me now.
Wonder why.

use BBinfo

install bbinfo. that should work

The only reason people don't want BL 3.9 is because they cannot upgrade back to BL 4. This will only create a problem when Apple decide to catch this type of user. Looking for 1.1.4 upgrade it seem they more left alone people with hacked phone. The new unlock found just in a few days and they don't even bother to fix the hole in 1.1.3 firmware.

The better part is, with BL 3.9 you can get unlock latest baseband earlier. Also I found out by using firmware with match baseband is more stable. I try 1.1.3 with baseband 4.02 the WIFI and youtube is not working. I think need to do something, like copy correct cert or something la..

For now, just stop worrying with BL and enjoy your phone. If they coming out with new firmware there must be somebody out there will find a way to allow you to install the new one.. If not, just enjoy ur phone as it is. It already great phone.

Even dev team now working with custom firmware which allow you to upgrade the Iphone with built in activation + unlock. If the can modify the firmware like that, future one should be possible also.
