Oh man, upgrading to 1.1.1 is a pain and a half. I've spent all morning on this and I'm still not quite done!

1) Started with an unlocked 1.0.2
2) Re-virginized it
3) Activated and jailbroke it then did pre-1.1.1 update stuff
4) Updated to 1.1.1
5) Unlocked it using anySIM 1.1...works!
6) Restarted iPhone, but it goes into Restore Mode!!!

Now I'm trying to do it again...there was a whole whack of mistakes and annoyances up there that I didn't list...hahah Hopefully it'll work soon. Now I'm downgrading to 1.0.2 again and repeating the steps...hahah

All done on a Mac, by the way.
i'm assuming between step 4 and 5 you used touchfree to jailbreak and install apptapp? which method did you use to activate? modding the lockdownd files?

No, actually. I activated and jailbroke it with iNdependence, and installed Installer using SFTP.

EDIT: SUCCESS! Unlocked and ready to rock with 1.1.1 now!

EDIT 2: WTF? YouTube, phone, SMS, and everything works but I can't sync music or videos!?!?!?

EDIT 3: *Phew*, restarted the Mac and all is well. False alarm! Probably because the iTunesHelper app had to be shut down for iNdependence.

You gotta admit that it would be pretty sweet if you did get it customized



Just finished putting on the iPhone body skin from bestskinever. My god...that was a long and painfully frustrating 40 minutes.

Exactly

If we didn't live so close to the border then I'd probably just buy a brand new iphone from them and have it painted as well.

Black or white iphone is pretty cool but i'd go with the kawasaki green or something crazy haha. then no matter how many of your friends moms have an iphone in 6 months at least nobody will ever have yours

I think 150 is a bit steep.. esp since you gotta send ur phone away and you prob wont get it back for 2 weeks. + shipping too.. damn

edit: maybe once my phone gets chipped enough i will send it away for a fresh coat.

I had that issue too...and for me sending messages to Fido customers messes up unless I clear the whole conversation first...weird. Apparently it's related to some sort of text message format (flash text I'm told) that the iPhone may or may not support properly. Perhaps 1.1.1 fixes that...but I'm still in limbo and can't test it...hahaha

As for theme, when I had my working set up, it was a custom Customize theme I made out of iPod Touch-styled icons and dock and a custom wallpaper.

a quick fix for the timestamp is to change your timezone to manual and pick a city that's @ GMT+0 timezone and then set ur time and date manually ~ it'll fix the issue with the timestamp on ur sms ~ it's not the best fix but it gets the job done

After reading a bunch of reviews. I picked up a Case.Mate case for my iPHone.



It's a hard leather case, that's super slim, fits perfect, snug and the opening is curved so the phone doesn't slip out.

Rubber cases attracts to much dust and crap and they all stretch out over time.

I went last week and it was $3.30 CDN. I asked them why it was $0.30 more when the CDN $ is stronger then the USD and they made up some bs about their bank charges.

I had to show ID when I went to pickup the item. TLC on the other hand doesn't ask for ID which is kinda stupid imo since anybody that knows your name/package could potentially just show up and sign for it. I'm kinda glad I checked out TSB because they email me whenever I have a package arrive and their office is clean and ORGANIZED. The place doesn't look like a dump and you don't have to deal with that old grumpy grandpa that seems like he's always pissed off at the world.
