you can unlock it yourself... if your phone is brand new out of the box and its version 1.1.2 then your out of luck. you cant unlock it but you can buy this hypersim thing on craigs for about 100$ to get it working with your sim

however if its version 1.0.2 or 1.1.1 then you can unlock it

Hey does anyone know what the warranty or exchange policy is for the iphone. I've had the damn thing in a case since it was out of the box IN the store, now i just see that there are a few scuff marks that just WONT come off. i asked about an exchange and she said i'd have to pay a restocking fee.


i thought the iphone was supposed to be resitant to keys. it was just in my pocked for about an hour with my set of house keys while i was driving...

help?

Yeah, there's a re-stocking fee...and nothing is resistant to keys.

I went to the modmyifone website and downloaded the iSolitaire program. I extracted the zip file and I got a "iSolitaire.app" folder and a bunch of non-executable files. How do I install the game onto my phone?

Looks different, interface is crap, and has nothing which makes the iPhone unique, namely multitouch and how it integrates into the iPod ecosystem (iTunes, etc.).

How did you upgrade to 1.1.1? And did you try restarting the phone?

If you don't spend the time to read up, then yeah, big chance things will go boom, although it's always fixable. Speakers aren't really improved. I can help you get up to 1.1.1 if you want.

You need to use SSH or SFTP and copy that iSolitaire.app folder into the /Applications folder then change all the files to executables. WinSCP makes that easy, just log into the phone, drop the folder in, select all the files and right-click then into properties and check the executable check boxes.

Not really, as it doesn't let you set permissions.

I think I've got all of them by installing the BigBoss repo and installing the "All Sources" package from that...hahah got a LOT of crap which I manually uninstalled (lots of repos with themes and stuff; useless to me). The thing that bugs me the most is that many of the repos have the same program on them but different versions, and no matter what version you're on Installer thinks you need to "upgrade" to the other version....back and forth..haha

what do you mean by "doesn't let you set permissions." ?

are you guys using SENDSONGS for ringtones? seems like my phone resets my ringtone back to default from time to time and custom ringtones dissapear from the "ringtone selection menu" all i have to do is reopen sendsongs for the ringtones to be back in the menu

I'm talking about Unix file permissions. Using iBrickr to copy it to the phone doesn't finish it, you need to set the files to "executable", which you can do only via SSH or using WinSCP or some equivalent.

I'm on 1.1.1 using the manual ringtone hack I got from hacktheiphone.com.
