Guys, need some help. I just bought an iphone (locked to rogers) and when I was registering it on itunes for the first time, I accidently updated to version 2.2.1. Now I want to unlock it, but it seems that there is no software unlock for 2.2.1 only 2.2? Is this true? Anyone got hookups to unlock version 2.2.1 with all features working? I saw someone on craiglist say they can unlock 2.2.1 but there is no airplane mode??

I like how often same questions pop up... Maybe if this thread was shorter than 40 pages, people would take the time to read it first..

i just picked up a used iphone 3g but it's been reset.
What's the best way to activate + unlock? I have no idea what firmware is on here and don't have a valid SIM. Should I use ZiPhone? That seems to be the most straightforward way.
I also see QuickPwn and yellowsnow but don't know if that's the way to do it or not in my case.
Edit: OK, nvm. I'm on 2.1, so no ZiPhone. It looks like I need to upgrade to 2.2 before doing anything.

Alot of people have stayed on 2.2 as the 2.2.1 update only really fixes issues with safari (internet browser) and for most of us who have jailbroken iphones its too much of a hassle to re jailbreak over a minor update.

Since the latest Palringo Instant messanger update on the iPhone, when I load the program it changes my nickname to just my email. Thus, everytime I log back onto my MSN account on a PC/MAC my nickname is my email, and I gotta change it back everytime.
Does anyone else have this problem? Can anyone offer me solutions to this problem?
Please advise.
Thanks!

tell rogers to cut your data usage off
Then....
Jailbreak your phone and download a program called "Boss Prefs". within this program, there is a toggle switch that will disconnect your phone from trying to access the edge network.

I have no idea. I use Fido... I just looked on the website to find their number.
You need to get that boss prefs app though. I had fido turn off my edge (I use iPhone 2G), but one random month I still racked up $200 worth of data. I installed boss prefs the next day :P

Only time you'll be on 3g is if no wifi is around but since you dont have data then u should turn off 3g as well.

best way to disable data on your phone is to point ur iPhone safari browser to http://unlockit.co.nz then use it to install a blank APN.

Hey guys, I have a few questions about how to copy contacts from my iPhone to my sim. Are there any apps available through Cydia or Installer (whichever is more popular with jailbreakers now, I haven't done it for a while) that would let me copy my contacts to my sim? And when iTunes backs up contacts and everything to your computer, where does it all go?

yeah you have to jailbreak it first though. I believe you can jailbreak up to 2.2.1 right now, which the current firmware.

jailbreak does NOT mean unlock. If you upgrade to 2.2.1 then you are fucked for now and cannot unlock, even with yellowsn0w. 2.2 baseband is the only one that can be unlocked by yellowsn0w right now.
