*prom night flash back!*


well in a nutshell, jackdon. make sure that you have completed all the necessary steps to create fw, pwn the itunes etc.


finished? open your itunes (latest version) and enter the "genuine" DFU mode where the screen is entirely blank (or black). if everything goes well, it will flash up a glaring white screen. voila!!!

Yup,

I wasn't that worried and I DFU it again and shitf restore from itune and now back to square one.... now this "DO NOT RESET WIPE OFF CONTENT AND SETTINGS" should be in the sticky.

hehe...... now I have to patch the phone patch and contact patch again.

So for all you out the do not panic, the iphone is actually a small power full computer running a strip down version of macos 10 which is actually Linux. So as long as we can reset the phone to the DFU mode we can sort of GHOST it back.

It maybe those update I did or Bosspref causing the issue I suspect.

jackdon.

alright-y then!

Bosspref did what? BTW its based on FreeBSD (Mac OS), it's unix like but not linux.

Bosspref, I install from Cydia and it is pretty cool able to turn off the Edge services.

Well I now officially do not have the iphone but I will hang around to take a peek on and off just incase I need to update HIS iphone.

Hey thank for all the support.

Cheers....

That happens a lot in here. There's a guy with a female name in here as well. It's fairly typical (in here at least )

There are a lot of guys with female tags here as well!! Trying to get sympathy when asking questions/buying stuff in Garage Sales??

Haha... grow up.....

blackchides, is that a wrong post? i don't see any continuity

Haha, it does seem out of place but it's not. Let's not talk about it though. I'll just spoiler it, just in case..

alright-y then!

so sensitive huh on that blackchides? hehe

Nola, just some trade disputes, don't wanna hijack the thread and go off-topic so don't wanna talk about it. Hehehe...

Hi,

Now that the iphone is no longer with me, I sat down and had look back on what I had done that lead to my DFU screw up and I now know why I was unable to get to the DFU mode. MY SPEAKER WAS OFF.... so no beep and the screen on the iphone was not suppose to show anythine.

Now I do have another question, I believe I should be able to get another iphone 2G for less that 1K. Should I fork more $$$ for a 3G. Other than the 3G bandwidth bot the iphone looks and felt pretty much the same is it. I had not use a 3G iphone before.

jackdon <-- now my treo 650 looks so boring

@ jackdon


the 3g on the aifontrigi is purely for a more pleasant/faster internet surfing or downloads.


so the "feel" of using an aifontrigi won't differ much in that particular department as opposed to the first generation of iphone. unless you are talking about an additional gps module, then yes.


but anyway (OT a little), when i made my first video call from a 3g phone to another one, i have to admit that i was rather "jakun" and excited.

Hey.... I am back hehe....

Nope I did not keep the iphone for myself so my son is enjoying that unit.

I now have another unit in my hand that belong to a friend and helping him upgrading it from his 1.1.4 to 2.0.1 and was successful. There is however some issue with the upgrade, after upgrding I proceed to test out the phone and everything works, the 3G Celcom works with Edge and Wifi works just great. I do have a problem with the Cydia upgrade and installing OpenSSH. For some reason the upgrade seems to fail with the following error message.

error: posix operation time out

I am unable to install OpenSSH so I am not able to do the patch for the phone and country patch. I actually did a restore 3 times and still the same issue. Now I use the same image I use for my son iphone. Is that a problem because I did not rebuild a new custom image 2.0.1 because I figure it is the same image anyway.

And the story of my life begins again. So I figure I might as well rebuild another image again, so I fire up winpwn 2.4 and rebuild as per instruction except this time I expanded the partiion to 602MB. After that I proceed to DFU it and did the shift restore and then it HAPPEN AGAIN. This time UNKOWN ERROR and the phone boots up in recovery mode again with the itune and usb connector image. OK no problem I thought fire up ibrickr 0.91 and horror...... it cannot find the phone, I think it expect a 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 iphone and now the unit I have is in 2.0.1....

Well I tried so many option and google for at least a good 20 minutes and finds nothing. So I figure I might as well do the restore to 2.0.2 then quickpwn it or lets see from there. While downloading it I played the iphone and notice that if I were to hold the power and home buttton for more than 20 second it power down and I am able to do the DFU, WOW hehe..... I just shift restore it back to the image that I build for my son now... So it is now working but I am not sure about the cydia update issue.

Will update later.

jackdon.

Answering my own post it seems the posix error is due to bandwidth issue at the repository site. So looks like there are lots of iphone upgrading to 2.0.1
