Something for us to cheer about!!!

Dev Team Blog

the game of cat and mouse is about to turn again....

aah..so mr. frozzbyte and mr. nokia2003 i assume would be amongst the first again to mess with this?

errrr i dont think so. im not into too much technical details of the iphone you know? only frozzbyte is keen because its in line with his industry.


furthermore, i wanna party hard first before i start my term!

You all just waiting for some one to be the white mice huh? We know dat dev team succeeded in porting installer and cydia to FW2.0. They also seem to be able to include bootneuter in it too. I'll only upgrade if most of the app are compatible with the new firmware. No point of upgrading if most of the useful app are not available or not working with FW2.0. It'll be bored with just the stock app and just free app from appstore.

Time to stock up on itunes credit. There goes my $$$$.

Okay, this is getting pretty exciting! It's like destiny intervening!

Ayone read the Engadget article on the international launch, particular the current NZ launch? It is at this link.

Particularly this picture, brings my attention to how ridiculously easy for me to get an iPhone 3G!



See that name of the hotel? Citylife Hotel Auckland? That is our nightstopping hotel in Auckland! I could simply walk down from the hotel and pop in and get one for myself!

What about the price you ask? Head on here fo Vodafone NZ rates/plans. See that little "+" sign next to the "iPhone Only" phrase? Click that, and as the price reveals itself........the price for an iPhone 3G without a contract/plan for Kiwis is........*drumroll*.......NZD1129! That translates to RM2779!

Further exemplifying the fact that this is fate, I've just came back from a mandatory course in Malaysia Airlines Academy Kelana Jaya today(yesterday), and conincidentally, a close colleague is going to Auckland TODAY! He was checking out the iPhone himself, and during coffee breaks and lunch, he was geting more and more poison from me as he fondled my iPhone. As it turns out, with that confirmation page that Vodafone store right at the doorstep of our nightstopping hotel is selling the iPhone 3G, at THAT price, and the fact that I can kirim it from him while he's there TOMORROW, .........I dont see it as anything but destiny. I was very skeptical on my chances on getting it from Paris or Frankfurt, and lo and behold, it turns out that an opportunity presents itself, and I may be able to secure one(with the help of the guys going to Auckland tomorrow) and have it in my hands in 4 days time!

Cannot wait for them to come back!

The GPS will be using the Google map we're using now, eh? Hmm, I really wanna know how much the speaker for music has improved. Apparently the call quality has improved by leaps and bounds!

apparently the gps is assisted type so it means that it is using cell towers to identify our position and not using satelite like every other gps device?

OMG, I have update to 2.0... and now im stuck with it. my phone no longer working (...

Dear Member, How should i do?? i cant downgrade to 1.1.4 (

you r the 1st to update to 2.0firmware when unlock is not available yet

well.. i guess you hav to wait for the devs to provide unlocking method or way to downgrade it to 1.1.4

why upgrade so fast....wait for jailbreak first mah.

LOL can't wait to upgrade izzit? Just chill till everything is confirm safe before upgrading ma.

Accidently done it.. btw, we learn from mistake. and here is the guide to downgrade back - for other who have upgrade...

Ok, so you updated to iTunes 7.7 and then installed 2.0 and you’re stuck. Here are the steps to downgrade to 1.1.4. Note that the result of this guide will be that you will be back to 1.1.4 version of firmware with baseband of 2.0 (4.05.04_G).

1) The first problem in your downgrade is that you probably are getting error 20 in restore mode and error 160x in DFU mode. This is due to iTunes 7.7. So, you now you need to uninstall iTunes 7.7 and install iTunes 7.5. Make sure after your iTunes 7.7 uninstall you reboot your pc as it requests you to. **OSX users, see note at bottom of page to downgrade your iTunes.

2) Now that you have iTunes 7.5, you will still have the DFU driver for 7.7. This is good and will allow the process to work. Put your phone into DFU mode using the DFU steps.

3) Restore using iTunes 7.5. You will get an error like 1011, 1013, 1015. This is normal and expected. An error 1601, 1602, 1600 or anything else is not ok.

4) Once you get error above, leave iTunes open and kick your phone out of restore mode. I recommend just loading winpwn(PC) or pwnage(MAC) and pwning the device at this point. If pwnage fails to work, you need to restore your phone again. You should be able to use normal restore mode, however. Other ways to kick out of restore mode may be ibrickr, jailbreak 1.1.2 (boot phone), iLiberty+.

5) Once completed, you have a pwned device with baseband 4.05.04_G from firmware v2.0.

6) To get back to 04.04.05_G (1.1.4 baseband) load bootneuter. If you don’t have this, install it from installer. Run bootneuter with Neuter, 4.6, and unlock. When it’s done, you will have an unlocked 04.04.05_G right back where you started.

Note:
If you are on OSX and want to attempt to downgrade your iTunes, you can try these steps:

Load up Terminal and type the following:
killall iTunesHelper
rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app
rm -r /Library/Receipts/iTunesX.pkg
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes*
rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app
rm -r /Library/Receipts/iTunesX.pkg
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes*
