This should reduce the number of repeating thread asking the same question(again and again)

oh and btw the emoticons posted are nice

Awesome..great work friends.

Btw, do we need to put up a link fo the latest upgrade to firmware 2.0.1 using winpwn 2.0.0.4 and Pwnagetool 2.0.2? Sure they come asking "how to" and stuff. Would be great if we can put up a link to it also.

Thanks.

Cheers
David

If they don't bother to read this, I dunno wat to say lah. Hahahahah

ask mod to pin this?

So... can someone tell me how to unlock the iPhone 3G?!

Tinkerbel: go locksmith there and ask them to unlock. They got the masterkey wat

Great Job, friends!

The first post of this thread should be stickied along with Unusual's notice up there. That'll shut the newbies up, until there find more things they need to be spoonfed at.

good and useful thread by iphone prefect !

you should add one more - iphone 3G is not USD199.00 !@#!@#!@#

This post has been edited by tr|n|ty: Aug 17 2008, 12:49 PM

well.... I don't think that is quite appropriate, cos somehow it still belongs "cracks / hacks".
No offense pal....

If someone has the 'desire' to do so.... I believe that person will still find a way out, right ?


This post has been edited by friends: Aug 17 2008, 01:50 PM

No prob. Just asking.

Cheers

still dont want to leave for pyramid?

Coming soon. Tunggu 8legfreak. Will see you there.

Just found a great reading material on Iphone. All questions about activation, jaibreaking and unlocking are clearly explained. It should be helpful for many users out there.

Iphone protection scheme analysis
http://www.inftoint.com/target/hardware/ip...cheme-analysis/

updated the 1st page.

Just have a second thought..... added JB links.
If not appropriate, please feel free to PM me to remove them.

Friends bro, maybe you can add iClarified(for Mac) and Sleepers.net(for Win) as one of the links for jailbreaking/unlocking?

updated.... thanks for the info.

lets pray hard newbies will read this thread

1 newbie didnt read this post...

So it seems that they don't bother to read..We may just need to bump this thread up.

So, we now have the official license to kill noob with lazy crap googling mama feeding toy piniata kind of question!! Great!!

Nice job TS!!

*ready the bat to hit the pinata*

=/ ... spoonfeed is good lol >.< .. sometimes the pages is like 100+ .. how am i going to read all -.- and know where to find my answer >.<

I do read that 100+ pages if necessary brother. The answer is not always on the last page. And again, for a simple noob question, the most is only 5 pages max with the last 3 pages is totally spam in some condition especially with pinky tags. But i love the last 3 pages still heheheheheheeee....

Getting my iPhone this thursday Hope to learn more

BTW, the link for manually adding ringtones to iphone is wrong i think

Do a search lah, every thread has its own Search function.

I'll kill any more anak ayam who open his mouth asking for spoonfeeding after all this hard work done by friends.

Apa barang pakai bat ... I'm getting ready my Uzi's, M16, AK-47, Grenade launcher, MP4 dan sewaktu dengannya.

Don't let our 'friends' effort go to waste la.

good job mate.

but sad I dun have the authority to pinned this

what is so-called "100+ pages how to read all" ?
you are just giving out an unacceptable excuse dude ! To me, this is called LAZY !

are you saying that, if you boss asks you to do a research on something... you would probably tell "so many resources out there, how to do ?"

same logic applies.... pls DO research or reading lar before you say so.
Mind to read them up.... ?

Anybody asking for spoonfeed will need to
And, whoever answers any Qs to the newbies will

No offense...

Another bump before it sinks below to second page.

NOOBS, these are your required readings.

[attachmentid=564877]

my opinion:

The topic maker may use the word 'new iPhone owners' instead of newbies. I do think that many people do not like to be called newbies, thus making them away from this very important topic.

It is cosmetic change, but I believe that it has to do with positive attribution

Bump....bump.....still dont want to read.....Want cheaper but dont want to read...... want canggih one but dont want to read......

Good read for beginners on FW upgrade (or downgrade!)

Bump..Keeping the thread up for noobs.

bumpity bump bump bump

*is this consider a spam?

This spam is NECESSARY. We may have plugged the dam of NOOBS from spilling over with their questions, but I fear the "dam" cannot take it much longer. It will explode one day, and I dont want to be here when that day comes.

Then we eat them

Bringing this up for the sake of my sanity.

Maybe the mods can make a feature where any newbies comes here must go thru this thread first before seeing other thread or even starting a new thread. A few forum i've been to used this method, means u must read the READ ME FIRST before proceeding.

hmmm, then LYF's layout has to be changed to adopt that method. i don't think that they are willing to commit so much time just for a sub-forum.

It can be implimented just for a sub-forum (not only for iphone) or a system wide implimentation. Its just a few codes in the HTML to do the checking (if not mistaken la)

I believe it is systemwide, for this kind of board. I've frequented boards which forces you to read and click a checkmark stating that you have read, understand and will comply with the TOS before you are allowed viewing any content on that part of the forum. None of the section in this forum so far has that kind of system implemented.

but those TOC are usually so darn long. i don't think newbies (or myself) will even attempt to read them and probably click "yes" or "agree"

This post has been edited by nokia2003: Aug 23 2008, 02:11 PM

I know. But it is like a release waiver or something, once you clicked that checkbox and go in, and if you still dnt abide by the rules , you can be persecuted on the grounds of those rules you have just agreed on when you tick that checkbox.

So in this case, you need two things, a "forced reminder" and a strict enforcement of rules, a.k.a effective moderation.

LOL effective moderation. yes yes...

Well it would be a good thing to impliment and not just in here but to all thread. Maybe that would weed out some of the silly Q if not all.

Yup, that term is more like an oxymoron around here.

wow...got pinned edy?haha..congrats to friends..

hello .. I find out the thread here dint say anything about bluetooth ..

today I try to test the bluetooth .. seems like something wrong ..

This should enlighten your queries.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=693234&hl=

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=673073&hl=

Aiya .. so bluetooth cannot send and receive files la

btw : I saw someone saying that , got software to make the aifon to send the files ?
like sharing .. ?

only through wifi at this moment.
DropCopy, FileMagnet, etc etc.
and many of them only support iPhone-to-Mac or iPhone-to-iPhone transfer.

or use FTP client and access via SSH.
