Getting a new one as in 3G model would set you back for 2.5k and above and 1.6k above for 2G while replacing the LCD is around 800 and below. It's your call.

Looks like the Dev team did it again. Pawnagetool 2.2.5 and Quickpwn 2.2.5 just been released. To those that want to upgrade to firmware 2.2.1, please go to the Dev Team Blog and READ, READ and READ.

No need. Just upgrade your phone to 2.2.1 then use Quickpwn to JB. Only need to reinstall back 3rd parties app after that.

Can use an app in cydia to backup the list of the things you already installed and then reinstall it back. Can't remember the app name, aptbackup or something.

Actually we can also change the boot logo in Quickpwn but it requires some 'extra' steps to be taken.

Personally I like Quickpwn more than Pwnagetool but it's according to one's preferences.

If restore or upgrade, the apps from AppStore will always be there when you sync it back. Only 3rd party apps will be deleted and need to re-install everytime you upgrade or restore.

In your case, you just need to use Quickpwn to jailbreak. Jailbreaking using quickpwn will not delete your apps from AppStore. Let say after this Apple come out with firmware 2.3 (example) and you already jailbreak and install some 3rd party apps from Cydia, once you upgrade or restore to that firmware, you'll lose the 3rd party apps from Cydia but the apps from AppStore can always be sync back from itunes. Means you have to reinstall every 3rd party apps again after a restore or upgrade and jailbreak the phone.

Hope you get this.

If you sync back the apps from iTunes, high scores, settings etc wont be lost.

Swirlymms tied your software to your phone's IMEI number. So if you lose or change your phone, u need to buy the license (not app) again. If you restore (not format) the same phone, then u just need to fetch the license again from their servers.

Did u read the info before installing SBsettings?

Try swipping the top bar where the Network carrier, time and battery are located.

Bro .. first of all, where did you browse to find the directory?

Izzit /private/var/root or /private/var/mobile?

Why? B'coz prior to 1.1.4, the address and sms are stored in /private/var/root/Library/AddressBook and SMS.

After 1.1.3 only it moved to /private/var/mobile/Library

I tot it's forbidden to discuss warez or crack apps in here? Or the policies already change and I didn't know about it?

Try paying for the app and I can guarantee that you won't have problem like this again in the future.

Permission should be 0644, Owner:mobile and Group:mobile.

Good for you j45on. See ... if you put your mind to it, it's not a hard thing to do right.

Congratulation ... you just got yourself an iPod Touch.

Good good but abit penat la .... so many projects coming in. No time to hang around here anymore.

Waaa ... makan jgn sampai gila. Later don't have anyone to jawab all the noobs questions.

Did you use BootNeuter to unlock the phone again? Upgrading from 1.1.4 to 2.2.1 also upgrade the baseband so it need to be unlock again. Since you only use quickpwn, I assume you did not use BootNeuter to unlock the phone.

@ckmcsk
First of all ... is your friends (Ben) phone a locked iPhone i.e from US, UK and other locked region phones?

If it was that easy to unlock the baseband, wouldn't the DevTeam figured it out already?

Sorry for being skeptical but unless your friend can furnish some evidence i.e screenshot of the "About" page showing the Model/Part No and it's from those locked regions + baseband 4.22.01 = Telco Signal, then this is just not believable.

p/s - as far as I know, the baseband for beta 3.0 is 04.20.01

@ckmcsk
Of course it is unlock. Looking from the model/part number (MB489ZA) refers to Singapore/Malaysia set which is OFFICIALLY UNLOCK SET. U can upgrade or downgrade the phone to any baseband and it will remain unlock no matter if the baseband is from a beta version. Nothing to shout or be happy about unless the model/part no show its from a locked country.

Did u install the .Net thinggy?
