as for the screwdriver being "impossible" to obtain, that isn't true, they're all over ebay. in fact upon finding out my screws weren't phillips, i went to jp cell repair and he helped me pop em out and put in phillips ones

because the newer iphone4's are being shipped with these pentalobe screws, doesn't surprise me that they'd be swapping the screws when you bring your phone in for repair too. 95% of people are gonna have a phillips screwdriver that fits the old screws, significantly less are gonna have the pentalobe screwdriver

How recent did you get yours?

I got my 4.1 replaced @ the apple store 2 weeks ago and my 4.2.1 still used the phillips screws.

i got it about 2.5 weeks ago. not sure when they started replacing the screws with pentalobe ones but my friend who got his a few days after i got mine told me he had pentalobe screws on his too

Well, dropped my phone going into the Markham NCIX yesterday and spiderwebbed 3/4 of the screen. Drove over to one of the Apple stores, explained what happened (was prepared to pay for a new front screen, everything functioned properly still) and they gave me a new phone on the spot. I <3 Apple. You pay a premium but they do take care of you. Between this, a DOA shuffle, and a first gen MBA that I never could get to not overheat, my experiences with both technical support and customer service with them are better than any other company I've ever dealt with.

The Chronic Dev-Team has announced an untether for the iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak.

The untether is demoed in the video below. It's a result of a collaboration between @0naj, @p0sixninja, and @pod2g. P0sixninja has previously said it will not require iOS 4.2b3 SHSH blobs.

Stay tuned for further details on its release.

Pod2g notes that a small bug remains where the wifi icon doesn't show up. Once fixed they will package the untether for release.
Almost there!

I'm jailbroken on firmware 4.1 right now. When the new jailbreak releases do i update to 4.2.1 then restore to a backup and jailbreak?
Does restoring to a backup restore my phone back down to 4.1

Hey guys,

I'm planning on ordering a few items from SW-BOX, and I know a few you have already ordered from that website. It is a reliable company? If so, what kind of shipping options did you choose (they had a variety of different shipping companies).
DHL, Air Mail, EMS, UPS, or Fedex. Cheapest option would be Air Mail, but it says it'll take 10-30 days lol.

What say you?

i just ordered a few days ago (i think it was tuesday? monday?) and i chose UPS as my shipping option. they chose to send it by dhl though, for whatever reason haha whatever. was tracking the package today and it said it arrived to the sorting facility here and left @ 10.11 am but i didn't receive anything today, so i've got to wait until monday for my stuff :(

anyway your shipping option really depends on how much you're buying and your own urgency. if you want to get your items asap like i did, then opt for UPS or DHL or something. it only cost ~$6 more for me to get it shipped via UPS versus air mail

and they seem reliable, but i can't speak for myself until my stuff gets here (in perfect condition)

others have seemed to have good experiences with them though

if you intend to be swapping your back plate often or generally "modding" your phone, go get those star screws swapped for phillips asap. an entire set on ebay is really cheap too (like $4-5 for a star screwdriver, phillips screwdriver and 2 phillips screws)


also, yay for 4.2 untethered jailbreak!

RESN 01-21-2011 08:42 PM

lol I ordered from sw-box and chose the cheapest shipping option... it says I purchased on the 17th, and for the parcel tracking it says 'The item was posted on 21-Jan-2011 and is being processed for delivery to the addressee.'

I have no idea how long it will take for the actual package to get delivered

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Misplacing your iPhone can be a nightmare, but there is a cheap way to keep track of it.

It's called FoneHome, and Rogers Data Guy Mike says it tracks your phone's location in real-time through GPS. "Just in case you lose your phone or can't find it, you can send an alarm that even if your iPhone is on mute, it will still send the message to the phone to make kind of like a car alarm noise."

It sells for less than two bucks and he says it's a pretty solid investment.

The app can also remotely activate the camera on your iPhone 4 and you can go to the FoneHome website to see where your phone is hiding.

Data Guy Mike says the FoneHome app has a proven track record and is a good value to help protect your phone - which in some cases, can be a $700 investment.

Isn't that just the same thing as the 'Find iPhone' app made by apple, which, is free?

sounds pretty much the same to me, minus camera thing. find my iphone is made by apple though, and free, like you said. also with find my iphone you can lock your phone with a passcode remotely, send a message to the screen or wipe it's data. i think fonehome's primary use is if you lose it under a stack of papers or something

Did anyone have problems with the battery expanding?? The glass on the back of my phone is coming off because of this.
