@Mac
Hey the PDF is wonderful..
Here are some Probs i am facing.
1. I cannot get I tunes to startup when i connect Iphone without the SIM.
2. When i have the Sim Connected to the Iphone and then try connecting to the PC.. it goes to the Iphone registration Page.
3. you’ve mentioned that, you can copy the current settings using Itunes. It that done using the File –> export library option or is it any different.
4. Currently the Jailbrake application and Iphone interface is not downloadable..
More questions later..
It sounds so funny.. when such good documentation still generates questions like these from dummies like me…
September 20th, 2007 at 12:27 pm
@KK
1. I cannot get I tunes to startup when i connect Iphone without the SIM. -= don’t ever take out AT&T sim out, till ur r done with proccess
2. When i have the Sim Connected to the Iphone and then try connecting to the PC.. it goes to the Iphone registration Page. = Let go itune on registraton pge, but don’t do registration. just close iTune
3. you’ve mentioned that, you can copy the current settings using Itunes. It that done using the File –> export library option or is it any different.=> if u have anything to backup, other wise ignore
4. Currently the Jailbrake application and Iphone interface is not downloadable..:= it is people are donwloading from my site, try again with new pdf, before link was wrong

Thanks Mac, i have put up the new iphone unlocking PDF as well.
September 23rd, 2007 at 7:05 pm
I don’t know what you guys are talking about. The unlock patch is available online free of cost. It’s got a GUI and works fine so no need to read any PDFs.
If you ask me, I’d wait for iPhone’s release in India. Visual Voicemail sounds really cool and it’s a service I’m willing to pay for. About the hue and cry over 3G, India doesn’t even have it yet.
Aditya, I would like to remind you that the iPhone works on any GSM network. Look at the tech specifications. It wont work with the WLL/CDMA services like Reliance and Indicom without conversion adapters on the phone.
September 23rd, 2007 at 7:31 pm
Hi Mac & Wise Techie, thanks for helping people in unlocking their iphone. Please answer to my following queries -
1. I have no contacts in US then how can I get iphone in india, if online purchase is possible then please let me know the website and also will they ship it to India. Please mention the website’s name if not the link and also the price for iphone and its shipping to india.
2. Next I wanted to ask that among the two files uploaded in this blog which one is the latest one with fewer steps regarding which you have mentioned in comment no. 15.
Thanks,
Aparajit
September 23rd, 2007 at 8:17 pm
@Abhishek : the PDF is a guide to unlocking, i suggest you read it to see that it aint as simple as patching the phone. There is more than 1 step to it, and all of us arent techies.
@Aparijit : Indiatimes is selling it at 2.5 times the price , i.e. 36k , why would you like to spend 2.5 times the price. In your case i would recommend waiting till early 2008 unless you got really fat pockets.

September 30th, 2007 at 7:38 pm
@ Rohan you can buy it in India also but you’ll be paying almost double the price.
Price in USA $399(approx Rs 16,000), while price in India right now is anywhere between Rs 30,000 – 40,000.
September 30th, 2007 at 9:11 pm
thanks Js29……i enquired in India…they are quoting price of Rs.33500 for 8gb unlocked phone….with 1 yr warranty……should i go for it????or buy it from usa and then unlock it using the above mentioned method?

(ITS COMPLETELY SAFE – NO HARM TO THE PHONE)
SOLUTION 1: (This is what I have tried and is tested to be completely
safe)
========================================================
Use iBricker to navigate the file “/var/root/Library/SMS/sms.db” and
delete it!
The phone would create this file again. Just re-boot and send yourself
an SMS from another phone. This file is the database file of ALL your
SMSes. THIS WIPES ALL SMSes FROM THE PHONE. This is easier than
solution 2.
SOLUTION 2:
===========================================
Using iBricker download this same file as in Solution 1: “/var/root/
Library/SMS/sms.db”
This is the SMS Database and is SQLite compatible. You can download
SQLite from http://www.sqlite.org/download.html (First link under Pre-
Compiled Binaries for Windows)
You can use the following command at command prompt to open the sms.db
using the sqlite. Put the Sqlite.exe and sms.db in the same folder and
then open the command prompt and go to the folder. (Lets say both are
in the Root of C Drive i.e. C:\)
C:\> sqlite3 sms.db
This would get you to the SQLite Prompt.
sqlite> select * from message;
It will show all your messages.
to delete the junk message. Look for the row number on the message
list you got above after the select number and issue this command in
SQLite:
sqlite> delete from message where rowid=;

I have placed an order for 2 locked iPhones. This seems to be like a great place to get help to get the phones unlocked. I’m just waiting for them to arrive. I hope there won’t be much hassle unlocking them.
I’m wondering how long would it take to unlock an Iphone…?

Btw those wishing to do this should hold off for now as the procedure is very complicated and could cause permanent damage to your phone.
wait till the dev team comes up with a fool proof method before you decide to get your hands dirty
October 14th, 2007 at 3:37 am
@ Anant
I think you can go right ahead and buy a 1.1.1 iphone, the dev team unlock is due to be realesed any day now.

can i know where can get iphone in delhi at the cost of Rs.16000 or nearby places
October 14th, 2007 at 8:22 pm
@ Anmol, unless you have a friend/relative who can get it for you from the US, it is highly unlikely you’ll find the iphone for that price anywhere in India.
In gaffar market the current asking price for iphone is anywhere between Rs25,000 – Rs30,000
October 15th, 2007 at 11:23 am
Hey, do we really need to upgrade to 1.1.1 ? (when the dev teams comes out with a reliable unlock) I’m happy running 1.0.2 with all my apps and the airtel logo(instead of the text). Can someone tell me any advantages of it? Coz the wifi itunes is of no use to us in India. Also, I dont think I’d ever pay for songs lol

October 15th, 2007 at 8:17 pm
@Abhishek
Apart from the iTunes store, the 1.1.1 also fixes the low speaker/earpiece volume issue some people were having. Even though I did not have any problem with my volume earlier, after the update I feel the earpiece volume has definitely gone up, earlier I had the volume set to max now I actually had to turn it down a bit.
Other features added are the home button setting- you now have a choice to set double clicking options for the home button, you can also set it to show the ipod controls while the ipod is playing.
Also included are new settings for the ipod, you now have an option to set ipod to resume video playback from where you left off last.The option for tv out is also included.
You can turn now turn off edge while on roaming. Safari seems to be more stable, hasn’t crashed since I updated while in 1.0.2 it would usually crash after 5-10 mins of use

Hi I bought Apple Iphone But when i upgraded the software to 1.1.1 it is again locked, and not able to open it again, i am from Jalgaon, Maharashtra, India,
and dealer from whom i puchased the phone he is telling me to sent it again to mumbai, to get it unlocked and exp of may be 2 to 3 thousand, will you plz tell me you tell no. or on line chat i d so i can contact you plz plz
October 15th, 2007 at 11:20 pm
Thanks Js29! But I think I’ll hold off from upgrading to 1.1.1 atleast till a free hack comes out. Kinda skeptical to upgrade and then unlock all over again coz the first time I did, I had to restore my phone 5 – 6 times to successfully get all features working. Too lazy to do it all over again
Anyways, just curious, what did u use to unlock? the IPSF paid-solution ?
Thanks for your response once again!
October 16th, 2007 at 12:51 am
@Rohit
You can downgrade your phone back to 1.0.2 there are a lot of guides out there explaining how to do that, just search for “downgrade baseband” on google.
Just make sure you don’t make the mistake of updating again also turn off automatic updating in iTunes
Please do not attempt the downgrade if you are not comfortable with hacking your phone on your own…you could end up doing permanent damage to your phone.
For all mac owners, there is a new version of iNdependence which will guide you through the process of downgrading back to 1.0.2 and then again updating to 1.1.1 and jailbreaking/activating it. Still no sign of the much awaited dev team unlock though. So after activating you still can’t use the phone functionality unless you use IPSF(paid software) to unlock.
@Abhishek
Yeah I used IPSF, though not a free solution($50-$60 depending on where you get it from) I’d recommend it over Anysim(free) as to me it seems that Ipsf have a cleaner code and it’s a totally hassle free way to unlock, once you unlock in 1.0.2 the unlock will not be destroyed even when you update to 1.1.1 all you need to do is jailbreak and activate.
Also the fact that the dev team forum claims to have an unlock but it says “1.1.1 unlocked with 1.0.2 baseband” that’s not exactly a solution I would want.

I want to add call screening. for that I need silent ringtone and upload to iphone, How do I do that? Where can i find silent ringtone?
Also, can i use airtel DELHI gprs on iphone? if yes, what is the procedure? is it any good or should i stick to wifi?
October 18th, 2007 at 7:03 am
SOS SOS
—————-
All people who are thinking of buying iPhone in India should hold off as bank SMS like ICICI and sms from airtel, etc. are not recieved in iPhone!
For eg. the monthly salary credits SMS alerts that one recieves on their mobile phones will NOT be recieved on iPhone as apparently iPhone is not able to decipher SMS from alphanumeric senders.
Most of Bank SMSs are sent from sent from alphanumeric message servers.
Unless you are OK with not recieving your Bank SMSs go ahead.
If I had known this was the case would not have bought iPhone.
October 18th, 2007 at 8:11 am
All those waiting to unlock 1.1.1 can now do so with the new version of Anysim and independence. no more iBrick Yay!!

October 19th, 2007 at 4:00 pm
@Mac
Thanks for that, but what about Idea ?
October 19th, 2007 at 8:09 pm
@mac The settings that you provide are for GPRS or for EDGE?
Arent’t the two different?
I am not able to access net using airtel delhi. I entered the settings as you instructed.
Can you tell me a little more as to what specifically to tell the airtel tech guys when I ask them to activate my GPRS/EDGE whatever?

@nikhilsaberwal
here are the new feature with 1.1.1
Itunes Wi-FI Music Store
Support for TV Out
Louder speakerphone & Receiver volume
Home button double-click shortcut to phone favorites music controls.
space bar double-tap shortcut to intelligent insert period & space
Mail attachments are viewable in portrait & landscape
Stocks & cities in stocks
Apple Bluetooth headset battery status in the status bar
Preferences to turn off Edge/Gprs when roaming
New Passcode lock time intervals
Adjustable alert voulume
Nothing really out of this world.You can live without an upgrade.
So i dont think an update in necessary.
@BEn
I dont think there is anything like 1.1.4 there are kidding you. maybe they want more money or cant unlock it.
Can you see beyond activate the iphone? can you go into the setting and see your iphone firmware?
October 22nd, 2007 at 10:27 pm

My iPhone is arriving in a couple of days (hopefully), and just when i thought that i had the whole process of unlocking covered, my friends are scaring me saying that this unlock works only if the phone has been activated..
In other words, they claim that if the phone is in mint condition with a 1.1.1 firmware, there’s nothing i can do about it in India. Is this true?
Sorry if i sound like an idiot, but i find too much of techie stuff very confusing. Please do reply/email me.. I don’t have peace of mind now.
Thanks a lot,
Vinayak.
October 25th, 2007 at 4:33 am
Hi Mac,
I am planning to bring the latest 8 GB iPhone from US.
Will the steps mentioned for Activating and Unlocking in the “Iphone Unlock PDF (Updated)” document work on the software version installed on this latest iPhone ?
I have heard that iPhones having software versions higher than 1.1.1 cant be Unlocked. How true is this ???
Please let me know ASAP. Thanx in Advance !!!
October 26th, 2007 at 4:05 am

October 26th, 2007 at 10:29 pm
@vaibhav
that PDF is for 1.0.2, not for 1.1.1.
and 1.1.1 is the highest version till date.
@vinayak
thats not true, you can unlock it.
October 27th, 2007 at 4:29 am
@JS29
I saw your post saying never mind, my Airtel Edge is working fine?
Can you please clarify my following query’s please ?
1. I also have the GPRS enabled for my SIM, did you still need to contact airtel & say please enable edge? if so for this do they charge any extra money?
2. I tried setting
APN address:airtelgprs.com
Username:
Password:
But still its not working.
Please help me.

@Jayy
You can surf iphone’s internet from your laptop. You need to install a proxy server eg) tinyproxy from the installer.app on ure iphone and set ure iphone ip as say 192.168.1.1 and ure laptops as 192.168.1.2 and set the proxy on ure laptop as 192.168.1.1 at port 8080. This basically means that ure iPhone now has become a wire-less access point and ure using ure laptop’s wifi to connect to iphone to surf the net.
@Raj
which GPRS have u enabled? Airtel Online or Mobile Office? Also if you have enabled, u shud see an E symbol next to “Airtel” symbol on ure iPhone. If “E” symbol shows up means GPRS exists but for the APN airtelgprs.com, you need to have mobile office enabled. Do check this out.
If anyone wants to upgrade an anysim 1.0.2 unlocked one to 1.1.1, the virginizer app from the iphone elite team is out and works great! Once virginized, use any of the guides for jailbreaking,unlocking and activating 1.1.1,
Cheers!
October 28th, 2007 at 12:35 am
@Raj
Which plan have you got for GPRS?? Airtel has two plans one for 99/Month which is also known as airtel Live, with this plan you can only access the airtel live portal and no other websites. The other plan is for 449/Month also known as Mobile office which will give you unlimited internet access.
Please make sure you have the 449/month plan if you wish to have edge access on your iPhone.
October 29th, 2007 at 12:34 am

October 29th, 2007 at 3:14 am
@ali hold the home button and stand by button ( on the top of the fone) for 5 seconds and your phone should switch off. font hold it too long or your might just get a syellow triangle which says connect to itunes. then you will have to unlock it again.
hold it only for 5 seconds maximum.!
October 29th, 2007 at 7:54 pm
@Ali ,
Don’t do what Hermit asked u to do, just press home and top button till iPhone get power off, after that just switch on normaly u do, ur problem will solve. thanks

November 1st, 2007 at 11:25 pm
@Mac- yaar dont take it to your heart !
November 1st, 2007 at 11:38 pm
professional!! LMAO there is no such thing as getting it unlocked from a professional he was probably just a shop owner or someone looking for a quick buck, if the person you got it unlocked was really a pro he would have made sure everything worked!!
Anyway all you you need to do is copy three files to your iphone, search google and you’ll find what you’re looking for.
November 2nd, 2007 at 12:34 am
hey txx hermit n mac.. both of u guys!! i jus waited for my battery to die down n i restarted it again.. txx again for ur advice guys.

Hi,
Pls. let me know how to add contacts from my sim to iphone and transfer music/ and video files.
November 14th, 2007 at 12:56 pm
Hello Vikas
Transfering sim contacts is a bit of a hassle. But Easier if u were using any PDA Windows Mobile based phone earlier which has a capability of sncying option with Outlook.
1. Goto Outlook Configure any of ur email setting there ( Best Gmail)
2. Sync ur PDA Windows Mobile based phone (Make sure its same phone with ur contacts)
3. Outllook will automatically sync ur Phone Contacts
4. Download Itunes.( Will ask to chose mail client) Select Outlook
5. And last option is to press sync button at the bottom.
6. All contacts will be saved on ur iphone,
Music Can also be saved on the iphone with similar way.
1.Open Itunes
2. Select Music (Right side column)
3.If u have songs on pc goto Itunes >> File >> Add file / Folder to Library
4. U will now see a list of all the songs displayed on itunes.
5.IMP step Connect ur Iphone It will show Iphone link Click it
6. Goto Music Tap this tap on ur Iphone link and press sync
7. It will copy all the music u have selected earlier.
Hope this is clear I am on vacation wont be answering much of the question but do write Incase I get time i will reply

Vikas,
Try any of the numerous video converters frm download.com for converting videos for ipod. It would work with iPhone. Or use the Recode that comes along with Nero 7. Which is also good enough.
hello everyone
does any one know how to add and use application ASMS?

Similar to some of the queries above, I unlocked my 1.1.1 iphone and have Vodafone as my carrier. I entered the APn setting as www and have activiated the GPRS service with Vodaphone. I have the E icon coming on as well. Despite all this — when i click on Safari and Utube it says -”Could not activate EDGE. You are not subscribed to EDGE”.
Any ideads?? Many Thanks in advance
November 16th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
Hi,
I got following info. from my friend in US….. Please advice should I buy iPhone from US and then uloack it in India…..
“It will be better to buy iphone in india. In the US iPhone, which
costs $400, comes with wireless service provider AT&T (like Idea,
Airtel) which is a two year contract of $60 per month. To break the
contract you will need to pay $400, that is as much as the iPhone! And
after that the phone will need to be hacked (unlocked illegally) which
will cost $50 so that it can be used with other service providers in
US or in other countries.”
November 16th, 2007 at 5:18 pm
Hi
Suddenly I cant view any scrapbooks in orkut (for the last 2 days)
can any one tell me why???
November 16th, 2007 at 6:05 pm
@Nikhil – You dont need to pay anything to AT&T.
@Amyth – it can be that Google did an update on Orkut.
November 16th, 2007 at 6:44 pm
@ PS
have you activated your adavance GPRS.? you need to do that. basic GPRS doesnt work.
@Kanwardeep
There is no way to unlock 1.12 you need to downgrade to 1.1 and then unlock.
Look t modmyiphone.com for help.
@ Nikhil
Just buy it off the rack from the apple store look online and find a good unlocking tool.
November 16th, 2007 at 8:12 pm
Someone answer my query above ?
November 17th, 2007 at 5:44 pm
Hi,
I am planning to get an iPhone in December with my aunt, returning from US.
Can u please clarify me on these:
1. Is it ok to buy only the iPhone from the apple store (for $400) and then activate and unlock it without opting for any AT & T plan, or do i need to buy a AT & T subscription also.
2. Can the iPhone be activated & unlocked safely in India itself or it need to be done in US.
Please clarify me on the above.
November 17th, 2007 at 10:47 pm
@ Dev
to answer your questions
1.Yes you can buy from the apple store either online or in store, you do not need to activate it instore you just pay for the phone take it home. Pls note when you connect your phone to itunes it will ask you to activate…DO NOT do so!! disconnect from itunes search for the best method to unlock follow instructions.
2. in order to unlock it does not matter if you are in US or in India.
Pls note in the new firmware apple have added an additional country check so if you try and use your phone outside of the official iphone supported countries you’ll need to modify some additional files.
November 17th, 2007 at 10:57 pm

Your friend is a fool or maybe he takes you for a fool by feeding you such rubbish!!
You do not need to get the AT&T contract when buying the iPhone. when walking out of the apple store you only pay for the phone and choose the option to activate it at home over iTunes(which you don’t have to if you don’t want to!!)
Another thing the fee for cancelling your AT&T contract is about $75-$150 and not $400!!
Unlocking you iPhone is FREE unless you are too chicken to try it on your own.
If and when the iPhone is introduced in India it will cost about Rs 25,000 as against $400 or Rs 15,800 at current exchange rates!!

Hey i heard that the French iphone are not locked….. as the government has come out with a law that you cant sell iphone locked to a service provider.
That means its a genuine open iphone, that makes me assume that you ca put any sim card in it and it should work fine.
That also makes me assume that you can very easily update to the latest software without getting scared to get unlocked or bricked again…
I have got this confirmed in Mumbai. Its available for 24,000 rs.
I suggest that everyone should try and get a Iphone from FRANCE……
November 18th, 2007 at 10:04 am
@Js29
Its actually 430$ with tax which is rs 16,873….
November 18th, 2007 at 10:21 am
@ Hermit
Actually the tax percentage depends on which state you are located in
Also a lot of states have sales tax holidays so basically on these days no taxes are levied..Massachusetts being one such state
November 18th, 2007 at 10:52 am
Also @ Hermit
iPhone in France has not been launched as yet!! it will be launching on Nov 29th… another thing Apple has not yet confirmed if it will indeed sell the phones unlocked in France..
found this interesting piece of info somewhere
“The French law requires the phone to be available without subscription (the 50€ a month part), the phone will still be locked with Orange.So, the law requires the phone to be available without subscription but it doesn’t require the unlocking of the phone.”
November 18th, 2007 at 11:05 am
Hi Hermit,
Thanks a bunch on the tip for adv GPRS..it works fine now! However, I have one more ques. I have a vista bearing Itunes 7.3 which when connected to my iphone gives me a compatibility error and is asking me to upgrade my itunes version to 7.4 or greater. I did download the 7.5 version now..but i wanna check if connecting the iphone to the latest itunes 7.5 version will not cause my phone to lock…my iphone is v 1.1.1..thanks!!
November 19th, 2007 at 3:59 pm
Hey guys,
Any ideas on my above query?
Thx, PS
November 19th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
Is it that , with iphoone it is cumpulsory to but AT&T service plan….in that case is it worthwhile to go……
“The problem is that in the US you cannot buy an iPhone without AT&T
service plan. You cannot go to any store and buy just the phone. Apple
and AT&T have a tie – thats how they both make money in the US”
Please advice…
November 19th, 2007 at 7:11 pm
Nikhil dude do you have difficulty reading english or what??
YOU DO NOT NEED AN AT&T PLAN TO BUY AN IPHONE!!!
All you need to do is walk into an apple store ask them for the phone, pay $399+tax and walk out…it’s that simple!! For the last time YOU DO NOT need an AT&T plan.
November 19th, 2007 at 7:50 pm
Hey anyone here to answer my question on the itunes-iphone connectivity? Thanks and apologies for the repeative posts!
November 19th, 2007 at 8:43 pm
@ Ps
Your unlock will not be affected if you upgrade to iTunes 7.5 but please remember not to upgrade your iPhone to new 1.1.2 firmware! Set your itunes so that it does not automatically check for updates.
As of now the method to unlock 1.1.2 is very complicated and risky so take caution
November 19th, 2007 at 9:24 pm
@Js29
Thanks Buddy…..actually this is what I came to know from my buddy in US….so wanted to confirm in the group….I hope it was not a big trouble from my side….
Thanks anyway
November 19th, 2007 at 9:58 pm
hi i have a i phone with 1 1 2 version how can i unlock or dowangrade plz help
November 19th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
@ Nikhil no problem mate, but it would help if you read what was already written before you ask the same question again and again
@Varun
If the phone you have came with 1.1.2 version already loaded, it probably has a new bootloader which is not unlockable right now.
all you can do for now is to wait for the new unlock which could take anywhere between a day to a month!!
November 19th, 2007 at 10:42 pm
i am getting iphone 8 Gb with Mac OS X v10.4.8 which is aclaimed to work on any indian network. I have an airtel post paid connection with GPRS active. will buying this iphone allow me to use all the features used on current sony erricson
November 20th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
@ Gauri
Do you know the version of frimware on the phone? Is it a brand new phone or are you getting it from a local ‘reseller’? The phones software/OS has nothing to do with the unlock procedure, the problem is that with every firmware update apple keeps making changing to the baseband(modem) of the phone this prevents easy hacking/unlocking.
Apple is now selling all phones with new firmware version 1.1.2(and also a new bootloader) this has not been unlocked till now, so if you plan on purchasing in an iPhone in the near future you are out of luck.
If on the other hand you are getting a phone which has firmware 1.0.2 or 1.1.1 on it you can be rest assured these will have full functionality once unlocked.
As for airtel GPRS pls make sure you have subscribed for the 499/month Mobile office plan and not airtel live which is 99/month
November 20th, 2007 at 1:01 pm
@ Varun
If your phone is an out of the box 1.1.2 there is no way to unlock it.
The problem here is that Apple have not only updated the firmware of the phone but also the bootloader, so all new phones coming out of apple store(week 45 and beyond) now have the new bootloader.
The new bootloader version(4.6) patches up the vulnerabilities on previous version(3.9) and prevents the hacks which were previously being used to unlock the phone so basically till someone figures out a way to bypass this you can only use your phone as an itouch!
November 20th, 2007 at 6:12 pm
Mr Mac
u r gr8 … you did it again… thanx alot for unlocking my iphone .. and there is no doubt tht u will unlock all the future versions also ..
thanx
aman
November 21st, 2007 at 10:43 pm
There is news that unlocked phones will soon be available from T-Mobile in Germany!!
But as always there is a catch to this good news, these phone will come at a high premium price of Eur 999(about Rs 59,000)
November 22nd, 2007 at 3:35 pm
yes the phone which is available is 1.0.2 and 1.1.1 i am being charged a difference of Rs.500 between the above two. I already have a mobile office active on my sony erriccson with Airtel postpaid.
1. i am not really a technie, so just wanted to understand what i need to avoid doing so as to ensure that the firm ware doesnt get upgraded.
I have heard of instances where people have accidently upgraded the firmware and got their phones locked.
2. is there some tool option on the iphone which when connected to the net automatically upgrades the firmware which needs to be dissabled?
November 22nd, 2007 at 5:06 pm
We would once again like to thank all our readers who have been helping out people with their Iphone problems, lers continue to help them !
November 23rd, 2007 at 12:16 am
@ gauri
you must understand that in order to start using an iphone you need to have itunes installed, you’ll need itunes to transfer your songs and videos as well as to sync your contacts, calendar etc. Itunes is needed to update your firmware or to restore your phone if needed to a factory like state. you can easily turn off the automatic updates in itunes if you so wish. there is no way in which the phone can be updated without your consent/knowledge so no need to worry
Just make sure you turn off automatic updates in itunes and you’re set.
Just out of curiosity how much are you getting the iphone for??
November 23rd, 2007 at 12:23 am
Phew! After a nailbiting 2 hours, I virginized from 1.0.2, upgraded and unlocked 1.1.2 firmware on my iphone by following the modmyifone guide. It worked 100% for me. 1.1.2 is much smoother to operate! sms from my bank finally comes! Also, the iphone processor has been overclocked with this update. So its faster
Happy upgrading!
November 23rd, 2007 at 12:36 am
Anyone else upgrade to 1.1.2 firmware? I upgraded and have found the new firmware comes with some much needed fixes.
The SMS problem is now solved so you will no longer get garbled web/bank messages
Voicemail notification now works
Louder speaker volume, significantly louder than 1.1.1 and now I don’t hear any hisses or crackles even at full volume
International support now included also has region format for India, number formatting fixed.
The Caller ID works without mentioning the country code before the number in the Address Book.
Faster and smoother operability, overall stability is better apps respond much faster,
Smoother cover flow and photo library flipping
Custom ringtones are back
I heard the next firmware may also include the sms forwarding option
For those looking to upgrade to 1.1.2 I suggest you hold off for now as the unlock procedure right now is quite complicated and risky.
If you have IPSF on the other hand you won’t face any trouble when upgrading
All you need to do is install oktoprep on your 1.1.1 IPSF unlocked phone then press the upgrade button in itunes
November 23rd, 2007 at 3:59 pm
Hey guys. I am planning to get an iPhone this december from the US, and ive been going over a lot of blogs and this seemed to be the best one for a potential iphone customer in india.
My concerns are about unlocking the iPhone. From what Ive seen, the new iPhone comes with a firmware version 1.1.2, and the pdf available in this site is for an earlier version. I got another version from the internet, but its really complicated. http://www.hacktheiphone.com/112/iphone_update_112_unlock_windows.html
It sounds a lil risky compared to the amount that u have to spend buying an iPhone. Is there anyone in here who has tried unlocking a new version of the iPhone? Can the firmware on an iPhone be downgraded to make these fixes work?
November 24th, 2007 at 1:33 am
Hey Guys I managed to fix my phonebook/callerid problem where sometimes even if a number is stored in your phone it doesnt show the callers name. Followed the guide at Hackint0sh and so far so good
Also installed a neat little app which shows the region and carrier for every number not stored in your phone.
November 24th, 2007 at 10:46 am
hi!
Thanks for the info.
just to get rid of your curiosity the price is variable between Rs.24500 to 26000 with different vendors.
Also has anyone tried connecting iphone to a laptop using bluetooth (used bluetooth dongle for accessing net over laptop/desktop) photo/music/video transfer both ways etc.
also i have heard third party bluetooth headsets allow you to hear only call conversation, music via bluetooth headset ?
November 24th, 2007 at 11:14 am
@Jayadev
A brand new out of the box iphone with 1.1.2 firmware on it can not be unlocked as yet.
The link you have posted is for upgrading older phones with 1.0.4 or 1.1.1 firmware on them to 1.1.2
Quote from hacktheiphone”
What will NOT work: ANY newly purchased iPhone with 1.1.2 firmware on it, because it will have the new 4.06 bootloader. ”
For further info read my posts above.

Hi,
I have got a new iPhone from US yesterday. Its ver 1.1.2.
From the posts i understand that there is no Unlock solution available for 1.1.2 as yet.
Can anyone tell me if i can activate my iPhone and use some of its features while i wait till a sure unlock solution is available.
Please provide me pointers as to where i can get the tools to activate it and what are the features i can use even without unlocking it.
November 24th, 2007 at 10:59 pm
Dev yes it is possible to use all other features of a new 1.1.2 phone.
)
You can go to sites like modmyifone or hackint0sh(google them
Here you’ll find all the info you are looking for, search for something like “jailbreak otb 1.1.2″
November 24th, 2007 at 11:17 pm
@JS29

I guys
I am getting the same problem as Ratik. I had GPRS enabled on my Hutch Sim and when I popped it in the Iphone, I got the error:
“You are not subscribed to EDGE”. I entered www in the APN field (Username & Password blank). Tried this with Airtel (APN = airtelgprs.com) and similar error.
Please help me out in terms of getting Net Working on this. Thanks All. My firmware is 1.1.1
November 27th, 2007 at 9:35 pm
Hey. I read all the posts in here for last couple of hours and found them very interesting. I need help from my indian colleagues here. Can anyone help me in locating a best vendor who can sell me a 8gb iphone with 1.1.1 firmware at Rs.24000-Rs26000 in Delhi.
Appreciate your assistance.
November 29th, 2007 at 12:20 am
@aniel…..
hi its easily available in Ghaffar Mkt and Palika Bazaar for Rs 25,000-26,000….i got one today
November 29th, 2007 at 12:32 am
@Amit
Call Hutch/Vodafone and have them subscribe you to the advanced GPRS plan and not the basic one. Once activated, you should be all set with you having the correct APN.
Cheers!

Hey guys,
I transferred some mp4 video files to itunes and then onto my iphone. When i view the videos as thumbnails i can see all but when i click on it (or rather touch) it plays with only sound and no video! any ideas?
Thanks,
PS
November 29th, 2007 at 10:36 am
GOOD NEWS!!!
if you faced problems receiving the SMS from ICICI/any bank or Google Alerts on your iPhone 1.1.1, here is a FIX that works !!

November 29th, 2007 at 5:05 pm
@PS : You have to set the Type under GetInfo as Movie or TV Show.. and put in a proper name… else it will take it as Music Video..and thats when only the Audio plays… I know its kinda gay for only audio to play even if its kept under Music Video type..!!
Anyone get IDEA Edge/GPRS working on thier iPHONE yet?
November 29th, 2007 at 5:37 pm

November 30th, 2007 at 10:02 am
Hey Josh,
Thanks for the response but I followed your instructions but to the same result! Its weird as i checked several forums and couldnt find anyone else having the same issue..but any other ideas on how this can be troubleshooted.
Thanks all!!
PS
November 30th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
@PS what software are you using to convert the videos for iphone?
I’ve been using Xilisoft and haven’t had any problems so far, just choose the profile for iphone and it should all work nicely.
November 30th, 2007 at 3:05 pm
Thanks JS29. These videos were creted in a MP4 format by a SONY dig cam i use. These transferred well into my ipod video. Let me try the software you mentioned.
Thanks again
PS
November 30th, 2007 at 3:08 pm
Yeh check the codec you use to convert into MP4 files.. make sure you arent using MP4 Audio only option or some option that says Disable video. I hav been using 3GP video convertor and works fine.
I have had your problem… but the reason to that was coz I havent set the properties of the video file in iTunes.
November 30th, 2007 at 6:37 pm
@ PS.
The videos have to be formatted to iphone video settings.
Just by having a mp4 files doesnt really mean it will play on the iphone.
Try using a converting software like xilisoft iphone video convertor.
i use that and it works fine.
December 1st, 2007 at 9:03 am
Hey I used Xilisoft too, but the audio and video dont sync after conversion, so I’m looking for other softwares now
December 2nd, 2007 at 9:41 am
I have asked my friend from US to get an 8GB iPhone for me, but he said its available only with AT&T connection. Is it possible to get the iPhone from Apple store for $399 + tax ie without AT&T connection.

Hi, can anyone tell me what their experience with the heating of iPhone been ? , i have heard that the iPhone heats up easily.
December 4th, 2007 at 6:53 pm
Yeh my iPhone heats up sort of… and also I think only one side of my speakerphone works in the phone… like if you cover up the bottom left side of the phone… (you would expect there would be another speaker on the bottom right side).. but u can bearly hear any sound…
December 8th, 2007 at 3:25 pm
@Vishal Kumar, Josh – Yes, iPhone heats up easily. But if you reduce the brightness to minimum its not that bad.
@Vishal Kumar – The one on the right is a mic, theres only one speaker.\
@Kalees – Yes, you can buy it straight from the Apple store, thats what my cousin did.
December 9th, 2007 at 11:30 pm
Hey PS and Hermit,
Advanced GPRS on vodafone is to be used on the PC or Laptop,then how can u use it when ur Pc is off.

December 10th, 2007 at 10:51 am
@ Sumit
First of all check the firmware version on your phone! If it’s 1.1.2 then there is no way to unlock it as yet. If it’s 1.1.1 on the other hand all you need to do is google
or head over to the hackint0sh forums, and you’ll find all the ino you’re looking for.
You do need to get your phone activated with AT&T before bringing it to India.
you can unlock your phone from anywhere all you’ll need is a computer and a wi-fi connection.
December 10th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
hi mac…
i just brought new iphone 1.1.2… how should i unlock that…. i want to use that with t-mobile…
December 10th, 2007 at 11:59 pm
@js29.
Thanks for the information , But i got to know from someone that i don’t have to get that activated from AT&T before bringing to India.. I tried activating the same here with AT&T .. but as i dont have SSN number.. they are unable to activate the same.. although my product is registered with Apple.. I am liitle confused now.. as i was googling around.. i got to know there is software available on Ebay site and also some hardware available which can unlock Iphone (any Firmware Version).. they are well available in india..
can you please guide me what should i do with this box.. AT&T is not been able to activate the same and also they are not refunding me full amount…
is there any way to get this activated and unlocked in india and I can use my Airtel GSM number on this..
Thanks..
December 12th, 2007 at 12:14 am
same problems…different people…!!!
December 12th, 2007 at 10:18 am
@Sumit/Josh
What firmware version is it?
December 12th, 2007 at 10:24 am
Also i reliased an amazing thing yesterday.
My iphone v1.1 was acting funny so i decided to RESTORE it.
Normal method of holding the HOME + Power button for 25 secs you get the connect to itunes logo on our iphone.
When u connect to itunes it says iphone found in restore mode pls pdate the software.
Choose manual restore and load firmware 1.1 ..
I assumed after the ormal activate process i will have to UNLOCK the fone again, BUT NO… after the activation/jailbreakme.com i didnt have to unlock it.
It was already unlocked….
So anyone who is scared of restoring your iphone its not that much of a pain/scare.
But its highly NOT RECOMMENDED until you know exactly how to do it.
Also new update SMS’D Application has come out with an updated version.
You can now.
* New Feature: Sending of contact info is possible now.
* New Feature: Support for templates. This feature can also be used to create group of people.
* Fix: Progress bar used to get stuck in some conditions.
* Fix: Some people reported message send failures.
* Fix: Long SMS in the list were truncated in some cases.
* Fix: Some Sent messages were not saved in MobileSMS.
December 13th, 2007 at 12:54 am
My firmware version is 1.1.2 ,, any simple solution to activate and unlocked will be highly appriciated.
Thank you in advance.
December 13th, 2007 at 11:37 am
@Sumit,
I made a typo mistake in my earlier post sorry about that, yes it is true you do not need to activate with AT&T.
If you go back a few comments you’ll find that I have said many times that it is not possible to unlock a new 1.1.2 phone, so there is no question of a simple and easy solution.
At best you can activate your phone using the various methods found(for free) on the hackint0sh forums. After this you’ll be able to use your phone as an itouch and all functions will be available except for the phone part.
The only way of unlocking a new 1.1.2 iphone right now is to use a “turbo sim”, again I suggest going to Hackint0sh to find more info.
December 13th, 2007 at 11:40 am
To everybody…before you go about asking questions please read what has already been written in the comments!!
It gets very irritating when people don’t even bother to use their common sense and keep asking the same questions again and again.
We are here to help people so make life easy for us and for yourself by reading through all the comments!!
December 13th, 2007 at 11:47 am
Again @ Sumit,
Regarding ebay and 1.1.2 unlocks, most of them are scams so watch out.
There is no software method to unlock 1.1.2 till now, if someone claims otherwise do not believe them, crosscheck here if need be or go to hackint0sh and confirm!! The only hardware method you should look out for is the “Turbosim” as mentioned eralier you can find all the info on this at the hackint0sh forums. Any other hardware unlock could seriously damage your phone.
December 13th, 2007 at 7:08 pm
hi guyz
well even after doing all the setting mentioned here i m not able to asses gprs on my air tel connection. its telling could not activate edge. what do i do ?

December 14th, 2007 at 7:47 pm
@Niks77
Check the firmware version!! If it’s 1.1.2 you(or anyone else) cannot unlock it.
If it’s 1.1.1 or earlier unlocking is very easy now, just a matter of following some simple instructions.
December 17th, 2007 at 1:43 am
I had once seen a blog at wisetechie, that said something about sms from special numbers like ICICI bank not being received by iphone..
Could someone lead me to that posting.
December 17th, 2007 at 3:43 am
@KK
You need to be on version 1.1 for that, also if you have installer you need to go to resources and tap on edit and add a new resource called
@niks77
If its a version 1.1 there are reallly simple tools on how to unlock. just google unlock.no and you will find the site on how ti unlock it….
Also MAC iam wondering why you still have an older way to unlock the new iphone. Why dont you update your PDF , as unlocking 1.1 is soo simple now…..
Instead of 100 of people asking everyone , just update your PDF i guess…
December 17th, 2007 at 3:46 am
Sorry @KK
i forgot to mention the resource here it is unlock.no/
After you put in the URL go back to the install and you will see a new folder there called unlocking tools. they have an sms fix function. install that and it should solve the problem.
I reciveve sms from all my banks now. Hdfc,icici,hsbc…..
December 17th, 2007 at 11:43 am
Guys, any idea when this 1.1.3 will be launched… i am tired of waiting to unlock my 1.1.2. All 1.1.2 guys…join your hands together and pray iGod to help us…
December 17th, 2007 at 8:16 pm
Hi PPL,
Have a few concerns about the iphone that i hv got… its a version 1.1.1 and it wrks gr8. However i am having a few issues.
1. bluetooth connectivity. It does not detect anyother phone that has a bluetooth connection even if i pair it. Could you let me know how to fix it?
2. What sofware do i use to access the library files e.g. /System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBookUI.framework/ABPhoneFormats.plist
(I am using winxp sp2)
3. I tried using the WiFi at a local mall however it kept on taking me in a loop to the same page. even if i tried going to google.com it still went back to http://www.xyz.com. Do i need to configure the wifi even if its not a secured connection?
4. I already have a list of softwares in the iphone like smsD however i am unable to update/install these softwares as the default is set to EDGE. Can i install these softwares via WiFi ?
How do i make WiFi as my default ?
Kindly let me know if you have a fix for these problems
December 18th, 2007 at 3:55 pm
5. When i try to install the software it gives me an error that says Package download failed: Cant find host!. ( I am tryin to connect using WiFi. and its showing the WiFi connection icon)
December 18th, 2007 at 9:31 pm
Hey guys,
I managed to activate airtel Live on my Iphone with a little tweaking and reading around on the net, you can visit [URL Suppressed] for the solution.
.
So you do NOT neet to activate Mobile office which is like rs. 499 per month, you can visit the normal sites with airtel live only. Also in my state that is Rajasthan Airtel Live is free, i. e. no rs. 99 per month,
Please do tell me if it helped you or if i can provide any other assistance on [Email Removed]

Hi v4uall,
Here are my suggestions that you should try out
1. Iphone’s bluetooth at present only allows headsets to connect, you cannot connect phones or computers to it.
2. From your Installer app you should install openssh on your iphone and on your pc you should download WINScp ssh client, with this you can access iphone’s filesystem.
3. I believe that happened because the wifi in the mall was not free to all, generally this happens in wiifs in hotels also, once you buy there prepaid internet cards and put in the codes, they grant you access and then you can browse. This is just my guess, there could be other reasons too.
4. As soon as wifi is activated on Iphone, edge automatically gets deactivated till wifi is active, and I think you should use wifi only to install and unistall software as edge is real slow.
5.That is again because you are not able to go to internet on your iphone, something is preventing access to the net, either you have a proxy that you should configure or some security settings that you should put in.
Hope these help,
Regards,

HI guys,
I recently bought an unlocked iphone from U.S.I used any sim 1.1.1 to unlock my phone and it worked perfectly with a T-mobile sim.I tried using an airtel sim but the phone says ‘No Sim’,whereas for Vodaphone sim,it detects it but says no service.Please help me with this by leaving comments.
Thanks,
December 23rd, 2007 at 12:16 pm
Hey Fellas,
I think it involved a few tweaking behind the hood… but now its working good. iPhone totally rocks now 
I got my IDEA’s EDGE to work..!!!
December 24th, 2007 at 10:49 am
Alok,
Is your iphone unlocked properly?
trying going to i.unlock.no and re-do the unlock procedure…
December 27th, 2007 at 9:33 am
I read this entire forum and found it very helpful.
Thank you to everyone.
This is my experience with an unlocked iphone (1.1.1) and Airtel:
I bought an Airtel pre-paid SIMM from Calcutta when I arrived from Canada and got an extra 333 re-chanrge. I asked them to activate the GPRS but they did not know how to…(small roadside shop)
I phoned 121 (customer care) and asked them to activate it (GPRS)
They told me to get a recharge of Rs. 498 and then it would work.
WHat I didn’t know was that it had to be exaty Rs. 498 NOT 500, or 900 which I had as a balance after recharging. I called customer care to enable the GPRS which is referred to ( Mobile Office ) . They continued to ask me to recharge until I talked with a technical manager in Jaipur in an AIrtel shop and he mentioned that it had to be exactly Rs. 498 to activate automatically.
I also asked him why my phone was not working and my SMS was coming in all scrambled. He led me to the iphone settings and told me to turn on or off the caller ID. (Can’t remember now) IF YOUR PHONE DOESN’T MAKE CALLS BUT RECIEVES THEM THIS IS THE SOLUTION! Anyways, the experience was less then enjoyable until it started working. Now I am a Happy customer….
Travellers:
AIrtel Prepaid – iphone
Provide photocopy of passport,visa,and a extra passport sized photo to start account.
To Activate GPRS (EDGE) on iphone:
* buy the EXACT amount of refill needed to activate Mobile Office (this depends on the province of your Airtel Simm. Once activated the “E” by the Carrier in the top left will show up.
APN : airtelgprs.com

**Make sure Show my caller Id is turned on. Settings/Phone
or your phone will not make calls or recieve SMS properly.
Happy Travels….

December 27th, 2007 at 3:49 pm
@ Shrey:
1) Check the iPhone Serial Key, if the 4th and 5th digit is 45 or more, it would be v 1.1.2, you need to unlock to access the main menu.
December 27th, 2007 at 5:44 pm
thnks for such quick response…
The 4th and 5th digit is more than 45…therefore it is the new version…
so now i need your help to unlock the phone…pls suggest…
also,currently I have Vodafone and Airtel numbers with me , but I would prefer unlocking it with Vodafone chip, if you could pls advice me on the process , how to do the unlocking—

December 31st, 2007 at 9:24 am
@ Shrey!
3) v1.1.2 is yet to be hacked, it will happen only after the release of v1.1.3 which is expected any time. Till then keep your fingers crossed..
4) There’s no harm in unlocking the iPhone, provided you follow expert guidance.

January 3rd, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Mac…thanks for providing such wonderfull information about the iphone crack. I have recently bought an iphone. I have to run it on airtel. Now, my problem is that it is sealed pack and dont know which version. I want to unlock it and want your help for the same.So, when can u help me unlock it.
It is asking to connect to i tones and showing only emergency calls.
January 4th, 2008 at 1:14 am
I have been following this website for developments on iphone and got swayed to buy 2 of them ordered around the new year. Assume they would be on the new firmwire and the boot (something..!!). So long i can use it for music and videos without the phone features i think it will be good enuf to acquaint myself with the device. Although would wait eagerly for the smarter people to make the device usable as a phone (to be true to the name of the device!!)
Cheers!
January 8th, 2008 at 11:57 am
hi… i just got my iphone today, n its of the 1.1.2 firmware… does anyone knw how i should go abt unlocking it. if the steps arent clear fr me to perform on my own, can anyone tell me where i can get it done in delhi… thnx a lit
January 9th, 2008 at 12:24 am
Thanks to this discussion forum and replies, I have been able to sort out my GPRS, SMS and Call problems. Hence instead of finding out the names again from such a long blog, i thot of thanking all. I can say that most of us would agree that this forum is valuable to many of us iPhone users. iPhone, no doubt is a good product….but from my 3 months of usage in Delhi(Airtel), I can say that its prone to bugs and many features r missing….still i love my iPhone and am enjoying it….though I have been hit by all kinds of bugs!!!! Hope to keep reading these answers and trying out the solutions….Keep writing guys…

can we unlock this version of iphone.
January 10th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Have the 1.1.2, please provide a step by step (as 1.1.1) to unlock. Also will the warranty be void with AT&T if unlocked?
Thanks/Sunil

Dear All,
I recently buy the iPhone 1.1.2. now wanted to use GSM card other then AT&T.
Is it possible to unlock my iphone. Please suggest. I am very exited to use my iPhone with other GSM providers.
Thanks in Advance.
January 11th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Everyone here who has version 1.1.2 OUT OF THE BOX – BRAND NEW.
There is no software unlock.
I have read all over the internet . The only method to do it is some software hacks and then you need to cut your simcard diagonal and use turbo sim or something to unlock it.
Its insane as the iphone with version 1.1.2 are selling for 32k in bombay now.
Crazy..
January 12th, 2008 at 11:53 am
Hermit,
You are right. But do you recomment to go by that way(turbo or magic sim) or should we wait some more time for unlock software????????

my brother in US is buying an i phone for me … can i tell him to mention at the store that he wants an 1.1.1 …. since 1.1.2 is not in use…. can anybody help… do u think that in US u will only get 1.1.2 firmware… will the old version be available in US even now…. please reply ….
January 15th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
pls help…. can’t anybody reply to my question…. pls
January 15th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
@ betty
No. you cannot pick and choose the firmware version when buying from Apple.
Chances are if you even hint that you specifically want a 1.1.1 phone, they will refuse to sell to you altogether(I know atleast 3-4 people with whom this has happened!)
@ all others asking for a 1.1.2 unlock
Learn to read! it’s all been answered before
January 16th, 2008 at 6:15 pm

@Ajay
I suggest you hold off upgrading for a few days, 1.1.3 has already been jailbroken and an unlock should follow soon
As for the features offered by 1.1.2 here is a list of features
The SMS problem is now solved so you will no longer get garbled webbank messages
Voicemail notification now works
Louder speaker volume, significantly louder than 1.1.1
International support now included also has region format for India, number formatting fixed.
The Caller ID works without mentioning the country code before the number in the Address Book.
Faster and smoother operability, overall stability is better apps respond much faster,
Smoother cover flow and photo library flipping
1.1.3 includes
- Edit Home Screen – Rearrange icons on your home screen
- Drag icons around with your finger
- Locate Me integration (pseudo-GPS) with Google Maps
- Send SMS to multiple recipients
- Add Safari Bookmarks to your Home Screen
January 25th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
one more thing, when i am receiving the SMS from bank or some other some times junck language is comming.what is the prob?please help regarding this also.
January 25th, 2008 at 6:54 pm

Am tryin my luck to upgrade to 1.1.3, i have read that if you unlock it at 1.1.1 version then you shoudlnt have any problem with the upgrade process… (although this is now my 3rd continuous attempt in unlocking it) … oh well.. i learn new things with each time
January 27th, 2008 at 5:31 am

Hi Mac,
Thanks for all ur research being done.Its really kind of u to do al this for all of the community.
Well i got a small question:
One of my relatives intends to purchase an IPhone in US for me and he would be giving it to me in INDIA. According to ur blogs it is clear that it works with Airtel and Hutch ……but i need to know that will my relative need to purchase the iphone with the AT&T service there in US?
Or should he purchase it without any service provider ..i mean i dont know whether it is possible or not .
Please let me know any inf about this.
Thanks
Shriniket Sarkar
January 31st, 2008 at 10:00 pm
@ Shriniket Sarkar
I hope you do realize the method posted above by Mac is now outdated!
The newest version of the iphone firmware is now 1.1.3 and so far it is not unlockable(for new OTB phones) Even if you are lucky and get a 1.1.2 firmware phone, please keep in mind that so far the only way possible to unlock these phones is to open the phone and flash the firmware(hardware method) there is no software only method for the new iphones.. You could alternatively use the various sim spoofing methods available but these too will not work for the 1.1.3 firmware!!
As for buying the phone from apple, you do not need to buy it with contract just get the phone only ooh and don’t tell apple you intend to use it in India
January 31st, 2008 at 10:09 pm
@ AJAY
Dude just update your phone to 1.1.2, I do not recommend going to 1.1.3 right now too many problems with that firmware atm. For the 1.1.2 tute(or even 1.1.3 if you want to upgrade anyway) head over to hackthatphone.com this guy has the best and most comprehensive tutes around, in case you run into any trouble just post here
February 1st, 2008 at 10:20 am
Hi,
I just bought an iphone and tryin to unlock it. But the only thing i dnt understand is the version u ppl hav been talking abt. I cant use ne feature on the iphone after i turn it on (except for a window of emergency calls). Can any1 help me with the steps i need to take.
Thanks,
Dev
February 2nd, 2008 at 11:06 am
@Studded Pls read up. Its all written by someone or the other. just FIND version and you’ll get your answer.
Anyway Google is the best answer to all this..
I’ve made it easy for you this time…
Also when did u get your iphone? if u bought it from US in the last 1 month and its probably 1.1.3 and ur stuck to do nothing with is unless u use turbo sim to unlock it. Again Google about it , everything is out there….
If you are unsure, here is how to check: On the emergency dial screen dial *3001#12345#* and tap Versions. Firware version should be 04.01.13_G. If it’s 03.14.08_G you have v1.0.2
February 3rd, 2008 at 6:33 pm

It is now POSSIBLE to Unlock OTB 1.1.2 / 1.1.3 iPhones. Geohat has done the ‘impossible’!
Here is a simple tutorial I found:-
Download these:
gunlock and the secpack from http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com/ or the blog
the 4.02.13 fls from http://george.zjlotto.com/index.php/baseband/
2. Downgrade your phone to 1.0.2.
irrespective of wher u are 1.1.1/1.1.2 otb not otb
press and hold power and home button untill u see the screen go blank , leave the power button as soon as the screen turns black, (set up the speaker volume on ur pc to high) as soon as the screen goes black u’l hear a sound, now after abt 10 secs holding down the home button u’ll hear another sound , now in itunes it will say phone in recovery mode and all, in itunes, hold the shift key (alt key in mac) and downgrade sequentially to 1.1.1 if you were in 1.1.2 or from 1.1.1 to 1.02 (some will say go directly to 1.02 I prefer this) once ur on 1.02
jailbreak and activate it , use ibrickr or watever u like.
install installer.app through ibrickr or watever, update it, install
community sources,bsd subsystems,open ssh, mobile terminal, etc etc
now use win scp/ibrickr and upload all files to usr/bin
files are gunlock/secpack/fls file for 1.1.2/gunlock.c
use putty or mobile terminal to execute the following commands
launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
gunlock secpack ICE04.02.13_G.fls”
launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
5. Enjoy your 1.1.2 OTB unlocked iPhone

If you have a 4.6 bl phone run ziphone -a-j-u this will activate, jailbreak and unlock your phone in 3 minutes flat

March 8th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
@PRASTE Zibri’s Ziphone suxxx……a lot of issues when unlocked with ziphone….without notification ….it downgrades ur bootloader also which is really not a good idea….and bootloader downgrade does involve risk……my advice would be not using ziphone and use iPlus…..its much better
March 8th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
@Nigel Hi Nigel as u said that iPlus is better than ZiPhone ..but it also does the same process i mean it also downgrads the bl na?
So is that not risky?
Hey also if u unlock jailbreak the 1.1.3 OTB then can i upgrade to the new firmware that apple is launching every now and then ?
Does iPlus unlocked and jailbreaked phone allow me to upgrade without any problems …?
Also
@Praste Did u mange to get ur phone on track?I mean did it start working?
Got any solution for it ?
March 9th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
@Nigel.. I wonder what kind of problems you had with Ziphone..You will definately face them if you JB using some other software and then use Ziphone..
@Shriniket..
Due.. I am very happy with Ziphone… no issues at all.. I even upgraded from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4 with any issues.. only flip side with ziphone is that the locate me function does not work on the gmaps.. I think I’ll give it 100*’s
The solution for my problem was to just unplug my iphone and replug it back for Itunes to identify it!
March 10th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
guys,
there is no problem in ziphone software its prefectly allrite.
i have even unlocked the 1.1.4 version with ziphone software and its workin fine no issuse.i think its best and easy software to unlock your iphone.
March 10th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Hi,
I got iPhone with firmware 1.1.2. I did unlocked. I use Aircell in India and I have a problem in incoming calls and messages. Able to make outgoing calls. Even in that, if I type any number to call, it is returning back to home page. Please help
March 11th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
@Kavitha,
How did you unlock your phone? what software?
March 11th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
comment
@ kavitha
update your fone to new version such as 1.1.3 or 1.1.4 using ziphone software.it might solve your all problems.
March 11th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
@Shriniket Sarkar
@Praste
After reading loads of forums and blogs about all the pros and cons regarding ziphone and watching COUNTLESS YouTube videos…There are some people that are experience NO problems at all, however it seems that there is a a lot MORE people who are experiencing issues (such as mail not working, Youtube not working, some reporting their phones stuck in Vibrate with no sound, no service etc).
iPlus downgrads the bootloader, unlock, jailbreak and activate the iPhone. And even better, it will also install the most important and common packages as well as several fixes with a custom payload for installing other packages.
Bootloader downgrading uses BL 3.9FakeBlank, so it is fully reversible.
as for 1.1.2 and 1.1.3…..geohots unlock is much much better than ziphone… more stable and better success rate….
March 16th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
I have enabled mo on my Iphone in Airtel. I entered airtelgprs.com on
APN
Left USer/ Password blank
However I dont see the airtelgprs getting saved into the setting.
Anyidea what am I missing
March 17th, 2008 at 12:09 am
@vidya if your on version 1.1.1 for some reason v1.1.1 firmware will not save the settings after reboot. You have to fix it by adding a source in the Installer.app: http://i.unlock.no/ and install the edge fix patch from unlocking tools in ur installer…or better option would be upgrading to a higher version
March 18th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Hi
@Ningel,
Well though u may be correct that iPlus would be a good solution that ZiPhone but
It really did something erratic for me ….initially i got a phone 1.1.3 then i updated it to 1.1.4 by normal method.Then i used iPlus the latest one which claims that it even unlocks 1.1.4 without any issues the ver 2.0 i guess. That software messed up my iPhone to such an extent that even if i restarted the screen used to show me “U need to carry out repairs to ur iPhone please contact apple to do so.” the phone was not even recognized by iTunes the latest version.Itunes showed an error that firmware corrupt please contact Apple.It sayed iTunes cannot recover this phone.
I then realised that i had actually managed to mess up with my 17k phone.
Anyways then i got to ZiPhone2.5c it did all for me.It initially got my iPhone to recovery console then it did all unlocking and stuff like that……
Now the phone is working with all features …thought on 3.9BL but it does not make any difference for me …..as far as i Tunes recognizes it ….i will have a chance to upgrade to as firmware that apple is about to launch.
But definitely next time i will try to unlock it after any upgrades with iPlus.Hope so will have better luck next time.Or if not then ZiPhone will always be there .The creator rocks.
Hey i wanted to know that is there any method by which i can completely stop that EDGE service for Airtel?
I tried Boss Tool , Net Services, even the Services app ….they switch it off and then after some time its again found to be on.I mean the icon on the top doesnot go.What can i do?
March 21st, 2008 at 9:13 am
Hi People,
I got ma new Iphone from the states and unlocked it myself using Ziphone.
The only problem i a m facing now is it says cannot connect to edge…
EDGE is nothing but enhanced gprs. Is there a patch or something to fix this .
If i activate GPRS on my vodafone will I be able to connect using it.
What are the setting ill have to change for y GPRS to work
March 23rd, 2008 at 2:43 pm
hii,
i entered airtelgprs.com in edge settings and still edge is not working..i have activated mobile office..the error msg says you r not subscribed to edge
March 24th, 2008 at 12:36 am
@Shriniket Sarkar…..yea i totally agree…zibri rox….the edge icon doesnt matter if its around…why do u want to remove it ?
March 26th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
@ mac
I have unlocked iphone 1.1.3 using ziphone 2.4. Everything works fine but it could not save EDGE setting. is there any work-around?
Another I want to install some application for iphone. how can I copy and install the application from windows? how can i login to filesystem of iphone?
March 26th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
@mac
I have unlocked iphone firmware 1.1.3 using zipone 2.4, Everything works file but I could save EDGE setting to acees internet.
I could not type APN for airtel, can you please provide me work around?
March 27th, 2008 at 11:11 am
Hi
@Nigel
Well actually i feel that that Edge icon being there on the top must be eating my iPhones battery power.See as far as i have tested till today …if i recharge completely in one night the phone works superb for the rest 2 days with the battery draining a bit to low.
I would feel very happy if i could get that switched off so that i may get it for 3 days ….
I have turned SSH and other stuff off but only this EDGE keeps popping up.
Dont know what to do with it.in Boss Tools it shows switched off but the Services.app shows its on.
March 27th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Hi Wisetechie, Im using 1.1.1 version for quite sometime now. As you are aware that we cannot forward SMS or we cant even send SMS to multiple no’s. Any solution available for this??
March 28th, 2008 at 9:59 am
Hi
@Ajay
Well ur running a very old firmware it seems ….now the latest going firmware is 1.1.4.
If u can get to 1.1.4 the iPhone can be unlocked by ZiPhone and then u can install an app named SMSD its an amazing app just install it …and then u can forward sms and also to multiple recipients.
Get to 1.1.4 first.There are lot of tutorials on how to get to 1.1.4 on iClarified.com website ..or even if u google u will get lots of help…
Or else let us all know incase u got any problems.

March 31st, 2008 at 1:00 pm
Hi All,
I have been following this thread for the last one month and it is very informative….I have been using windows based mobile phones since the last 5 years, but I took the initiative of asking my friend to buy me a 8gig iphone ver 1.1.4 from apple store in the usa…it costed $431 incl taxes… Got the iphone in my hands about 10 days ago, i unlocked it (in five minutes) using the ziphone 2.5 and it has been working like a charm. I live in ahmedabad/gujarat and am able to use all the features including “locate me” , maps, stocks, youtube, sms, edge/gprs etc etc…
I must say that apple has revolutionised the way mobiles are used…I am very very happy with the iphone. So I feel anyone else can also do the same without getting paranoid about unlocking issues etc etc
April 1st, 2008 at 10:00 am
Hi,
@Bhunesh,
@Ruchi
No need for those files now …..use ZiPhone2.5c and jimply press a button saying Do It All and all wil be done ……
I was guided by mac to do the same rather than going for this file.
April 1st, 2008 at 6:40 pm
I want to use
vodafone live on my phone
but someone has removed the links above
that someone had posted about this.
Please help me out
I know there is a way around
because you can use T-Mobiles 5.99 plan
which is quite similar to airtel live
and vodafone live
Please Help out
Thanks
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:46 am

April 2nd, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Hi
@Bhunesh
Well actually the Ziphones tool is based on the Dot net Framework.
Hence even if i send it to u …u will have to install the framework on to ur machine to get it working …..
go to this site there is a download link at the bottom …for framework 3.5 i guess the latest one …i assume u got windows XP SP2……just download it and install the framework …and then use ZiPhone the ur just 1 click away…..
http://www.microsoft.com/net/
after download :Install it
then restart ur comp ….then run ZiPhone
then attach ur iPhone to the comp ensure iTunes installed to ur machine(i dont know whether it is required to install itunes at this stage or not but i had it when i carried it all out.).
once u have connected the iphone there ….in ZiPhone there is a button DO it All
once u click it all will be done …..but b patient dont unplug the phone in the middle or else it may result a serious loss in firmware and u may mess up with the phone.
Do let me know if done…..or for any queries….i am adding u in my hotmail list ……
April 6th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
I got one a 8gig iphone ver 1.1.4 unlocked and with vodafone sim.Everything is cool but except EDGE.Always getting error “Edge not activated”.Tried WWW,reset network connnection and ALL.But its giving this again and again with E symbol near carrier name.Is this any problem with unlocking?If so plz suggest one best tool for unlocking it again?PLzzzz help!!
April 7th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
@Pappus,
Hi,Nothing to worry mate.Just change your gprs plan to ‘mobile connect’ in vodafone.Make sure u’ve Rs199/- balance in ur prepaid account while activating. Thats it.Then u would be able to browse from ur iphone.
April 7th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
@mac
I’ve unlocked the iPhone succesfully . I’ve downloaded iTune too. But when I am trying to sync the contacts in Outlook , it says ” Either there is no default mail client …. Pl. run Outlook and set it as a default mail client ” . I’ve opened the Outlook and checked it is my default mail client , though I am not using the Outlook as mail service. Pl. advise me what to do ?
2. I’ve BSNL sim with GPRS activated. What to do to activate internet while using it with iPhone ?
Any help will be appreciated.
April 7th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Hi Guyz!!
I have my 8 Gig working now using Ziphone 3.0
But the only problem i’m facing is the BLuetooth not working, It keeps on searching and never finds anything.
What is the crack for it???
Pls reply
Thanks in advance
April 8th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Also , i do not find the option to forward the sms which is already there on my phone.
April 9th, 2008 at 7:51 am
@P Joshi
Well congrats on unlocking.
With outlook u simply need to do it a bit different i also had encountered the same problem.
Solution: Install Outlook 2003 and do not configure it for any email or no other accounts. Just close the wizard by saying that u dont want to manage the accounts.Then in the iTunes let it detect ur iPhone and when the screen comes up for ur iPhone Go Edit -> Preferences and then Sync Tab. There is something named Reset……. After pressing this all the data on the itunes will be reset and u will have a clean iTunes without any of the songs on it shown ….it will not delete anything form ur HDD. After this reset when u next time plug in the iphone and then simply choose sync my contacts with Outlook and then sync it u will be offered an option for Merge Info and i guess the other option is Replace Info. Choose Merge Info and then sync.
NOw all ur contacts will be backed up to Outlook 2003.
Regarding BSNL i dont know.
I hope that serves ur purpose but at the cost of the songs that u must have synced earlier.
@Gaurav
Well actually bluetooth on iPhone is not like normal bluetooth.It can only be used with the Bluetooth Headset that u will need to buy compatible with the iPhone.It can also be connected with the car bluetooth set.
This bluetooth cannot be used for transfering files till date but soon we will have some apps which will help us all in using it as normal bluetooth.
Also SMS app that is default in the iPhone does not support forwarding options…..U need to override the existing SMS app with another app named SMSD for that purpose…..
SO get SMSD installed on ur phone then SSH or say Putty ur iPhone from ur comp and then u will be able to set the permissions for the new SMSD app to run as default.
THis SMSD app is really superb.
U can also set permission using the Terminal available on iPhone just login using alpine as password and then launch the app from the terminal so that it will have root privileges and u will be allowed to set the permissions.
If u want any other details do let me know….or else google will serve the purpose for u.Feel free to ask.
Enjoy the phone.
April 9th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Thanks Sriniket for the solution. Actually I found the solution for Outlook. In my Outlook I haven’t configure any mail account , it was blank. Once I configure the mail account ( it’s yahoo ac for me) and then while keeping the Outlook open I launched the iTune and tried to Sync the contact. Boom….it’s working now perfectly. Thanks
April 9th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Thanks Shriniket
I’ll try n install it and will let yu know the results.
I hope SMSD is copatible with 1.1.4 ver
April 9th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
By the way from where can i get SMSD?
and i have just installed Weiphone..is it good?
April 9th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Hi,
My iphone speaker is not working. If i call some number I am not able to hear what the other person is telling. But If I enable the loudspeaker or If I use ear phone I am able to hear the voice. Any clue??
Thanks and Regards,
Naina
April 9th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Hi SHriniket
I have downloaded SMSD but having problem to install it.I have downloaded it to my windows machine.
Pls help
April 9th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Hi Mac, Thanks a lot for your help, never can be an easier way to unlock iPhone. Its so COOL but still im havin prob with the bluetooth and WiFi. bluetooth never detects, it only keeps searching and when i connect to wifi and try to open a page from safari it says EDGE service not available. I use a Vodafone connection and i also have a GRPS setting but still i dont know how to open a page. It would be really great if you can help me through this.
…… SS
April 9th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Hi all,
@P Joshi
Well its nice its working for u but in my case it was simply the reverse i had to remove all my configured accounts then it had synced with Outlook 2k3 for me.
Well apple is full of surprises since i have had an iPhone.But believe me its better that it has a lot hidden in it.Cos stagnated mind catches rust.Let apple continue getting something new.
@Gaurav
Well i havent used WeiPhone.SMSD app works really fine with 1.1.4 i do have the same.
Check this site….http://amrut.joshi.googlepages.com/
Also u need to get say a terminal installed on ur iPhone .
Well as u said u have downloaded it to ur machine then u will need WinScp in case of windows.Get it and then connect it using the IP address of ur iPhone and the username : root and password : alpine.
Once connected u will need to copy the extracted SMSD.app folder to the /Applications folder where u will find all the other apps.
Note : Do not replace any other MobileSMS app.
Simply place this app folder in there.
Then u wil need to select this folder and go for properties by right clicking on that folder and change the access rights to 0755 and apply it to every file present in the SMSD app folder.
Once done with this u will need to launch the app on the iPhone but not from the iPhone.Simply type
# /Applications/SMSD.app/SMSD
in the terminal app that u must have installed on ur iPhone or on putty if u intend to use PUTTY.
Once the app launches on ur iPhone then navigate to More->Preferences and change them as per the site that i mentioned above.
All this is mostly from that site.That site is of the creator of SMSD app.
Once u set those all this then simply restart ur iPhone and then go on enjoy.
Its likely that ur original app will not work ….but this app is far more interesting than that original app.
Let me know incase u got any other issues.
@Naina
Well if u must have dropped any time the precious piece then may be hardware damage or else try receiving a call and then try to increase the volume using the volume controls on the iphone.
It must be the case that the volume must have gone a lot lower……
Hey also well it is a bit silly but incase if u have still the screen schield on ur screen …that thin plastic film on it.Then u will have to either remove it completely or may be u can simply cut a small part of that film just above the speaker for the i mean let the sound get out of that closed film.
I guess that is the problem in ur case.Let me know if it gets solved.
Thanks guys for replying.
April 13th, 2008 at 12:51 am
I am not able to use EDGE on airtel. I have the E icon coming on as well. Despite all this — when i click on Safari and Utube it says -”Could not activate EDGE. You are not subscribed to EDGE”.
I have activated Mobile office on my handset and it is working fine on another handsetbut not able to use Edge on apple i phone . Pls help me out.
Pls provide anyone’s mobile number so that i can explain you better.
I tried setting
APN address:airtelgprs.com
Username:
Password:
But still its not working.
April 13th, 2008 at 9:10 am
thanks for the reply shriniket.
but the problem is i ‘m not able to locate my i.p. address of my iphone.
i used whatismyip.com but i guess that displays yur router/modem i.p address.
do we have any other options?
April 13th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Hi,
@Gaurav
Well i hope u got a wi-fi connection running at ur place …..cos unless u have a wi-fi connection u will not get an ip assigned to ur iPhone.
And if there is no wireless connection at ur place then u will not be able to SSH into the iPhone.
Step 1: Get wireless connection at ur home.
Step 2: Install OpenSSH on ur iPhone from the Installer.
Step 3 :Get Winscp and Putty downloaded on ur machine.
Step 4: Check the Settings -> Wi-Fi Tab on ur iPhone so that u will find an ip address assigned to ur iphone.Or else u can even install BossPrefs Installed on ur iPhone from the Installer it will also show u the ip address.
I hope this all will serve ur purpose.
Do let me know if u want any further clarification.
April 14th, 2008 at 8:10 am
Shriniket..
Sorry to bug you yet again
I’m trying to use WINSCP407.. but it says unable to connect when i put in my iphone i.p…the default port in winscp407 is 22. do i need to change it?
and i hope winscp407 is the correct version i need to use.
secondly , do i need to connect my iphone to pc thru cord while i go thru this process?
I already have my iphone connected to wifi.
and one thing more .. though openssh is already installed on my phone yet i dn’t see any seperate tool on my springboard.is it fine?
April 14th, 2008 at 8:27 am
correctione– when trying to connect thru winscp. it says “connection timed out”
April 14th, 2008 at 9:23 am
ok . great.. i now have smsd 2.3b installe don my iphone..
Now can you pls tell me how do i make this default app from iphone itself.
and if requires another tool to download then pls do let me know from where can i get it…
Note: pls ignore my last two posts
Thanks
April 14th, 2008 at 10:39 am
Hi
@Gaurav
Well its good u got it installed……
Now go into winscp and goto applications then search for the SMSD folder that u must have placed there …..and then simply right click and enter properties and in that make the rights to 0755.
Option 1
isconnect it and then install a terminal say Term vt100 (i use this terminal) u can go for other terminals as well.Simply login to ur iPhone from the iPhone using this tool the default pass is alpine for root as the user.
Option 2 : Get putty on ur machine and login to ur iphone using the putty tool.
Once u have logged in then simply type
# /Applications/SMSD.app/SMSD
this will launch the app on ur iPhone then u need to go to more options on the left top of the screen and choose from the options.
Done reboot the iPhone and i gues all will be done.
April 14th, 2008 at 10:01 pm

Hi Shriniket,
I tried to upgrade my phone which is of 1.1.1. but it is showing continously message scrolling on my Phone – ” BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0″. this msg is scrolling continously and i tried to shutdown the phone and made it on again but the prob continues and it is not even detected by itunes.. Pls help
April 15th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
@Ajay
How did u upgrade it to 1.1.4?
I mean the procedure?
Now well u can do one thing try unlocking the iPhone by using ZiPhone 2.5c.
There is a output window in the bottom of this tool.Try keeping a watch on that window while u do so ……it will also let u know how to get ur iphone in the restore mode.I hope it works.
April 15th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Hi Shriniket,
I didnt upgrade to 1.1.4. When i pressed DO IT ALL in Ziphone it has upgraded to 1.1.2 and later I dont know I did something and this message started appearing. Now the msg i mentioned above is coming continously whne i switch on the phone. iTunes is not detecting the phone.. so what should i do now for itunes to detect the phone??
April 15th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Hi Shri,
I followed the procedure to restore and i could get the phone back to its normal mode of 1.1.2 but all the contacts and other details are erased. Im not able to make calls once i press the Phone button its going to home by default. Pls help. From here how can i upgrade to 1.1.4?
April 15th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
@Ajay
Ok thats better now as i hear.
Now get the firmware for 1.1.4 downloaded from the net store the file on ur machine or u can simply use iTunes to do it for u.
Proc 1: Using iTunes:
Attach ur iphone all iTunes to detect it and then in the itunes go for the iPhone Tab and then choose Check for updates for ur iPhone .
Then it will connect to the net and check for the firmware 1.1.4 i hope so ……but choose to upgrade only if its 1.1.4 cos any other updates are i guess not supported by ZiPhones tool.Then simply allow iTunes to download and upgrade ur iPhone to 1.1.4.
Proc 2: Using direct downloads:
In this case u will have to manually download the 1.1.4 firmware and then make the iPhone to enter the restore mode by pressing the Power Button and then when the iPhone start release the Power button and then keep pressed the Home Button so that the iPhone is detected in the restore mode by iTunes then supply the file u donwloaded when asked for the firmware file.
I hope this will do the favour for ur iPhone.
After upgradation the iPhone will again be locked then u make have the previledge to use the ZiPhone’s tool.
Done
April 16th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Hi Shri…
Hoooohoooooo. I had real roller coaster ride in upgrading my phone to 1.1.4. And its all bcos i was messing up. And real thanks to Ziphone which was getting it back when ever i was screwing it up. Shri, i am facing few problems after upgrading. Im not able to access any sites thru safari.. IT says edge not active. SMS not able to forward.. How should I sync with my details thru itunes?? As new phone or?? PLs help and thanks a lot for helping in upgrading the same.. Thanks
April 16th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Hi
@Ajay
Well what kind of problems are those ….see incase of Safari well i have never used edge for it ….i use the wi-fi connection at my place for browsing …it works simply great.For edge to be used u will have to consult ur service provider and get gprs activated on ur sim card.
And SMS not able to forward : I guess please refer to my posts addressed to Gaurav in this blog.They will guide u in installing SMSD app which will do the forwards for u.Successfully.
Well no need of thanks Anything for the superb device all requests are welcomed.
April 16th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Hi Shri..
I could get edge activated on my mobile. Its fine now. I have downloaded SMSD pack, but when im pressing it its going to Main home. This probelm i faced earlier initially when i upgraded to 1.1.2 as mentioned above. same is repeating with SMSD. And one more thing, what softwares you suggest me to download for better feature usage of the Phone? There are plenty of them, need to know which is genuine and good. Pls help.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Hi
@ Ajay
Well asking for genuine packages once u have broken the warranty by unlocking the iPhone seems a bit unusual ….
But i feel that generally apps those released by apple are of no use….I mean they must have been for use for certain concerned customers of iPhone.
Well u can go on trying apps as u like
U may try:
PocketTouch
weDict(its basically for a dictionary).
weTool
Finder
BossPrefs
Games : Gemlogic,iSnake,iSolitaire,Mines,
RingTones
iShare
iSIM(try using this if u can get the crack for it it will be nice do let me know too Please).
Camera Pro(also for this if u get a crack let me know.)
BossTool
SysInfo
Well and for SMSD there is a work around ..i have mentioned it in the above posts …u will hav to read them all ….its directed to gaurav….
April 17th, 2008 at 12:54 am
Hi Shrini
Well. sorry to tell you this,but that Winscp din’t work for me..It never got connected to my iphone..Always says ““connection timed out”
I have 2.3b SMSD installed on my iphone thru installler.
Now in order to make it a default app is there any way to get it done without using winscp?
Also i could use smsd only once , the next time i received the sms and i tried opening SMSD, it took me to the main menu(springboard).
nothing much to do i guess.
Can you help
April 17th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Hi Shri..
Regarding SMSD, you have mentioned quite clearly how to get it done.. But to be frank its completely a rocket science for me to understand. Its just bouncing away from my head. Can you pls help in saying in much more simpler and in laymans language. I could not understand anything in ur below message posted by you to Gaurav.. Pls help
“”Well i havent used WeiPhone.SMSD app works really fine with 1.1.4 i do have the same.
Check this site….http://amrut.joshi.googlepages.com/
Also u need to get say a terminal installed on ur iPhone .
Well as u said u have downloaded it to ur machine then u will need WinScp in case of windows.Get it and then connect it using the IP address of ur iPhone and the username : root and password : alpine.
Once connected u will need to copy the extracted SMSD.app folder to the /Applications folder where u will find all the other apps.
Note : Do not replace any other MobileSMS app.
Simply place this app folder in there.
Then u wil need to select this folder and go for properties by right clicking on that folder and change the access rights to 0755 and apply it to every file present in the SMSD app folder.
Once done with this u will need to launch the app on the iPhone but not from the iPhone.Simply type
# /Applications/SMSD.app/SMSD
in the terminal app that u must have installed on ur iPhone or on putty if u intend to use PUTTY.
Once the app launches on ur iPhone then navigate to More->Preferences and change them as per the site that i mentioned above.
All this is mostly from that site.That site is of the creator of SMSD app.
Once u set those all this then simply restart ur iPhone and then go on enjoy.
Its likely that ur original app will not work ….but this app is far more interesting than that original app.”"”"”
April 17th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Hi,
@Gaurav
Hey guys stop messing up with my name …..i would feel happy if it would remain Shriniket.
Well anyways process for getting Winscp:
1.Get ur iPhone connected to a Wifi device …..or on a wireless network.
Then check the ip address in the BossPreps app or in the Settings Wi-Fi section.
Then Open WinScp on ur computer …..ensure that ur machine is also on that same wireless network on which ur iPhone is connected.
U can simply ping to the ip address of ur iPhone and check if the connectivity exists.
2.Now after launching the WinScp enter the Host as the IP address of ur iPhone and then the username as : root and the password as : alpine
Dont change any other settings simply click connect.It must work …..
Oops forgot to mention …u must have OpenSSH installed on ur iPhone using the installer .And whle u do the above proc ensure that the Wi-Fi and the SSH on ur iPhone are on.
Then it will work
If u get any other problems let me know.
April 17th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Hey shriniket
Apologies for spelling your name incorrectly
Well..Right now i’m in office , will try to do the same yu mentioned above.
Thanks
Gaurav
April 19th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Hi Shriniket
Finally i got everything working , but that is only winscp and putty. What i mean is now i’m able to conect to my iphone.
But now the problem i’m facing is when i try to open smsd it brings my window to the main menu. probably that’swhy even after changing the access and using that command #/application…. I’m still not able to open it.
I tried uninstalling and installing it again, infact i also tried installing the old version but everytime i click it, it pops up for a second and then return back to main menu screen.
Do you suggest anything?
I dn’t wanna give up after putting so much efforts that’s why still bugging you.
Hope you won’t mind.
Thanks
Gaurav
April 20th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Hi
@Gaurav
Well try with this zip file
[url]http://www.sendspace.com/file/4aqfu0[/url]
Try downloading it from this location i used this one and its working superb.
I hope u have iPhone 8Gig with 1.1.4 unlocked using ZiPhone.
After u get this zip extract it and only copy the SMSD.app to the /Applications folder in ur iPhone using the winscp tool.
Then in /Applications folder in the Winscp u will find the MobileSMS app ….in this folder ur supposed to place the file that is present in the extracted MobileSMS folder.The file is name as SMSDHelper.
And then u select SMSD.app from the winscp and right click it to get the properties.then u change the Octal to 0755.
Then u simply disconnect ur iPhone from Winscp.
Then ur supposed to putty into ur iPhone and then use that command
# /Applications/SMSD.app/SMSD
so that it will launch the SMSD app on ur iPhone then from ur iPhone navigate to More on left corner of the SMSD app …then go to Preferences then set all the 3 options to ON.
Simply restart ur iPhone i hope it must work.
April 20th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Hi Shriniket
I have successfully followed all the steps till i putty it into my iphone.
I have logged in putty using user id : root and password : alpine( same as winscp)
but whenver i enter the above mentioned command it says
“zsh: No such file or directory: /Applications/SMSD.app/SMSD”
Though I have checked thru winscp that they exists as they should be since i copied them from extracted folder.
Pls tell me where am I doing wrong?
Just to let you know that on clicking the smsd.app folder properties the octal value was already 0755.
Thanks
Gaurav
April 20th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
@Shriniket
Now what i did is after i was done with winscp part , i restarted my iphone and got my smsd on the menu screen.
Now i used Putty and enetered that command using same user Id and pass( root/alpine)
This time i got this error
“zsh: bus error /Applications/SMSD.app/SMSD”
April 20th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
Hi,
@Gaurav
Well can u send a screenshot of the windows of putty just when u login to ur iPhone i mean
when u start putty and enter the username as root and pass as alpine then on the black screen whatever u get just post it ……
I hope it is getting the root privileges……
Cos unless u have the root previleges u cannot execute that command.
Option 1:
try installing term vt 100 a terminal app on ur iPhone and then log into it using the same username and pass …….then u can execute the command here itself on the iphone and then it will launch the app for u.
Try it.
April 22nd, 2008 at 9:36 am
Hi Shriniket
This is what i get on putty–>
login as: root
root@192.168.1.64‘s password:
Last login: Sun Apr 20 11:16:07 2008 from 192.168.1.69
#
and ahead of # I write Applications/SMSD.app/SMSD
When i get this error:
“zsh: bus error /Applications/SMSD.app/SMSD”
April 26th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Him
@Gaurav
Well if u have made a mistake in typing then ……the command is …
after # type /Applications/SMSD.app/SMSD
u missed the / before Applications …….
Is that the mistake?
April 27th, 2008 at 9:43 am
@Shriniket
Awesome man!! It worked..Thanks a million.
But there is one prob I’m facing . When I hit the conversation button it takes me back to the Iphone menu board.
April 27th, 2008 at 9:44 am
@Shriniket
are there any more cool applications like this one?
and by the way can you pls tell me what all applications do you use in your iphone?
April 27th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Hi,
@Gaurav
Well the conversations thing must work i hope u have set all those 3 configuration options to ON.
And i hope u have right clicked the properties in the Winscp for SMSD and set it to 0755.
Then it should i mean it should not crash.Keep on trying opening it ……may be after some tries it will work out.
Other Apps:
There are many …..i have posted some of them above try them.Check the post 390.
April 28th, 2008 at 1:11 am
Hi Shriniket Sarkar,
From the above comments looks like, u r genius in Iphone stuff.
I stay in Bangalore i am getting my Iphone from US next week .I am not technically great. I have few questions for you
1) I am confused whether to use iliberty or ZIPHONE to unlock,Jailbreak and activate?
2) If i downgrade using ZIPHONE, will that affect my iphone in future.
3) Does installer work with INDIAN networks(AIRTEL).
4) can i add applications without installer?
April 28th, 2008 at 8:14 am
@Shriniket
Now I’m gonna bug you for one more thing
CAn you pls tel me how can one change the theme of iphone?
I do not see any seperate folder for themes.
and also from where can I downlaod it? I mean any quick site you know.
April 28th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Hi,
@Gaurav
See for themes u need to install sumerboard app.
Then to use many of the themes apart from the inbuilt themes with the summerboard u need to install SMBPrefs 3.2 which will allow ur summerboard to use the other themes which u get in ur installer.
Well there are folders in the iphone for storing all these themes stuff but u will need to ssh and using winscp search for those.Instead u go for installing Summer board app and then SMBPrefs and use the themes.
http://www.apptapp.com/summerboard/ is the link which provides summerboard …but u will not need it …as its better and easy to install it from Installer directly on iphone.
Well i would also suggest an app named “categories” this will help u in organizing ur icons ..in folders on a single screen on the iPhone.
Try it.
April 28th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Hi,
@Srikanth
Well i like technology tremendously which drives me behind it.But u cant say me a genius cos i believe genius is that person who stops hunting for new stuff after understanding the fact that there is no more to extract.Which i dont think is possible cos knowledge never ends and hence u cant stop …hence practically there are not genius people in this world……there is still a lot i mean enormous to learn.
Anyways :
I am confused whether to use iliberty or ZIPHONE to unlock,Jailbreak and activate?
Well see i had tried using the iPlus for doing these tasks ….but it had shaken me when it failed and my iPhone was rendered useless saying that please contact Apple for further support. Then ZiPhone did it all for me.Hence no matter even if it degrades the BL still i dont think it will matter much ….cos even if apple goes on launching more firmwares they will have to maintain the reverse compatibility.Hence no worries in using ZiPhone tool. Even Mac had advised me to use it.
2) If i downgrade using ZIPHONE, will that affect my iphone in future.
Well buddy who has seen the future ….hence b +ve.Cos see even if it does not do good in the future i guess there has to be a workaround to get over that situation. Hence the creator of ZiPhone will be there to help.
3) Does installer work with INDIAN networks(AIRTEL).
Well basically Installer is an application which works on iPhone hence it has nothing to do with the network provider.Hence it works very fine with all GSM providers ofcourse with Airtel also.
4) can i add applications without installer?
Ya u can add apps without installer but i suggest u go for installer because its the easy way to get things done.But definitely if ur interested in doing SSH into the iPhone then u can try the other way of installing apps.
(Well regarding this last question of urs …even i havent tried doing so till today but i have read that u can install apps without installer.I will try soon and let all know regarding what i have.)
April 28th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Hi Shriniket Sarkar,
Thanks for the detailed reply. You rock on this Blog!!!!!!!!
April 28th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
Hi,
@Srikanth
Ur most welcome for any queries.Stop all this yar ………rock and stuff.I dont like praises.
April 29th, 2008 at 5:37 am
@Shriniket(My only point of contact)
Is there any antivirus available for iphone?If yes, where can I find it?
April 29th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Hi,
I bought Unlocked iphone 1.1.3 from US. Now I am in india. After using the phone here on Airtel for about 15 days it just hanged. I restored and updated it using itunes. Now its locked. So what steps should i use to unlock it.Or is there any other advice on that.
Please reply..Thanks
Harsh
April 29th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Hi,
@Gaurav
Well i havent come across any antivirus program app for iPhone yet.But i also didnt come accross any virus as such for iPhone.
Hence so far no needs to worry.
@Harshdeep
Well use ZiPhones tool and then simply get all done.I hope u upgraded ur iPhone to 1.1.4 firmware.If not done so then get to iTunes and get a frimware upgrade and then unlock it using ZiPhone Tool.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:14 am
hi i got a iphone 8 GB (AT&T) from US. i unlocked it using ziphone software and it is working with India Airtel connection. I want know how to activate GPRS and EDGE in my phone, pls appraise
May 3rd, 2008 at 9:34 pm
@Shriniket
Hi.
No I can’t open conversation tab. As soon as I open it , it takes me back to the spring board.
Do I need to reinstall it? or shall I just change the permissions again?
May 4th, 2008 at 12:07 am
hey i hv 1.1.3n iphone…. does upgrading to v 1.1.4 make any difference?????
i mean should i upgrade it or not????
May 4th, 2008 at 8:36 am
@Mayank
Go ahead and upgrade it.
May 4th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Hi,
@Gaurav
After launching SMSD app ->More(Left top corner) ->Preferences
Here check
All the 3 i.e :
Send Confirmation
SMSD Default App
SMSD Notifier are ON.
If either is not ON the putty into the iPhone and set the priveleges again.
Well in my case Conversations are running.
Hey have u removed by anychance the original SMS app ?
If u have removed then please get it back …cos its needed i guess for conversation.Dont know exactly.
May 4th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
@Shriniket
All the three are on.
No, I don’t think I have removed/replaced the original SMS app.
The original sms app is MobileSMS.app, rgt?
If yes , then I’m sure I haven’t modified it.
One thing more I noticed yesterday in smsd, when I scroll down to the bottom most of the Inbox the same things happen again i.e. It takes me to the summer board.
I wonder whats happening.
May 5th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Hi,
@Gaurav
Hey try installing an app named sysinfo that will get u the memory details.If ur memory must have gone low then may be this must be the cause for the crashes to summerboard.
Also if ur memory is used up u can use the BossTools app to free some of the memory.And then may be it will work kindly.
Try this and let me know.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:54 am
@Shriniket
Hi
I don’t think there is space problem since I have hardly downloaded anything big in my iphone till now.
Still I would download the s/w n check .
Thanks
May 7th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Hi Shriniket,
With ur support Im using 1.1.4 happily. But One thing is bugging me that Im not seeing any application different from 1.1.1 what I was using earlier. There are few features which are better in 1.1.4 but application wise Im not seeing extra in my day to day usage. One more problem from my side is Im not techhie guy so I dont understand these root, putty, Application, etc which you have explained above to get the SMSD application. Can you please help me in laymans language how can i forward my SMS and send the same to multiple people. I can see above you have explained them in quite clear software language, but still nothing got into my head. Pls help
May 7th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Hi Shriniket,
I have downloaded a summer board theme by name EAGLES and my phone got suddenly stuck. When im switching on its not going beyond apple sign. What could be the problem, pls help?
May 7th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Hi,
@Ajay
Well regarding that SMSD app please give me few more days cos currently i am a bit busy.Do let me know ur mail id so that i can post u the procedure to get that done.
Regarding ur stuck iPhone well i think it must atleast boot cos if its not booting then may be the firmware must have become corrupt.Hence inthat case u will have to reinstall the firmware.I hope u must be having a backup of ur contacts and other stuff.
What u can try is syncing ur iPhone with iTunes …if it detects then may be u can analyse the problem.iTunes will show u incase if there is any problem.I Hope it will tell u.Cos apple says that iTunes will do it all for iPhone.
Let me know.
May 8th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Hi All
I got an unlocked iphone from UK.It worked for all the networks in UK.
I am not sure what unlocking mechanism was used.
Now i am trying to use my iphone with airtel and its not working.
The iphone recognises the network(displays airtel on the top left) but the phone hangs when i get a incoming call.
Soon after i dial the first digit to make a call the,it automatically takes me back to the main menu.
Could some please help me with this?
Should i unlock again to use it in India?
May 8th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
Hi,
@Shyam
Well instead of digging on for finding out why it is not working and how to get it rectified, i would suggest via iTunes get urself upgraded to the latest stable firmware 1.1.4 and then unlock it using ZiPhone 2.5.This may get ur iPhone on track.On which firmware are u on right now?
Or even u can get a dialer fix which comes from iClarified for dialer crashes.May be it can help.
Try it.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Hi Shriniket,
Thanks, I have to restore the phone with help of iTunes and Ziphone connected and now evry thing is fine. But for all of you the summerboard theme by Name Eagles- NF is having a problem. I tried to download twice but same problem repeated, whereas I could download other summerboard themes comfortably. Thanks.
May 13th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Hi
Can anyone tell me how to uninstall apache server from the iPhone.
I tried uninstalling it from the Installer but it reads “Main Script Execution Failed!”.I even tried restarting the iPhone but it gives the same error.
Is there any way to remove it using SSH?
May 17th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
i hav use iphone with INDIA Airtel but i havnt EDGE setup.Can you help this
May 18th, 2008 at 12:26 am
Hi All
My battery backup is just 1 day and that too when i dn’t use it too much for calls or rest of the things.
Is any1 else facing the same problem?
May 18th, 2008 at 11:20 am
hi Shriniket Sarkar,
i have got i phone and it is unkcloked . the problem i am facing is tht i am unable to get i connected to my itune 7.6. it is not getting detcted wre as i hav ipod tooo it is getting detected . so just pls guid me as how i can upload songs and other stuff….
thnks….
May 18th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Hi,
@Gaurav
Well if ur battery is going so low so fast then probably u must be running too many servers on ur iPhone …or may be lot many processes must be running on ur machine.
Get this app named SysInfo and in this check out for Memory Usage.
This will give u the idea about ur resources being used to a larger extent than expected.
May be that must be the reason for the drain of ur battery.
But it should not have been the case cos
On my i phone i run apache server and samba server and even my wi-fi remains ON for the entire day.Even after all this running i get a backup of nearly 2 days.
May 18th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
Hi
@bhunesh
Well as ur iPod is getting detected there seems no problem iTunes.
On which firmware are u and what did u use to unlock it?
Well try detecting the iPhone in restore mode.
1.Switch off ur phone.
2.Keep pressed the Power and the Home button.
3.Connect the Iphone to iTunes.
4.Then release the Power button but keep pressed the Home button ….Ur iTunes should detect the iPhone in Restore Mode.
Hope it works.Try it Out.

June 6th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Hi all,
There is new application in Installer, where in u can forward sms, delete sms, send the contact no by sms and delete individual call records. This was not possible in my 1.1.4 earlier. Shriniket suggested on top how to get this feature done, but it was tough procedure for me to do, which i couldnt understand. This is simple tool, which i have downloaded only yesterday and its working very fine. Its available in utilities- “We TOOL”. Just to share with all of you.. Thanks AJAY
June 11th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Hi ,
Has anyone tried upgrading to the firmware version 2.0 from 1.1.4?
Is the unlock available for version 2.0 for windows?
Regards
Shriniket Sarkar
June 20th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
What about iphone 2.0 , which is ready to by launched in india by Airtel and vodofone. It wont require any unlocking. is’nt it?
Any problms with that ?
June 21st, 2008 at 12:06 am
Hi
@Vivek
Well actually those phones which apple is going to launch with Airtel and Vodafone will also be locked i suppose.
Cos the phone will only work on Airtel or Vodafone depends from where u purchase.
Hence if u purchase iPhone from say Airtel then for Vodafone u will have to unlock it.And i guess it will come with firmware 2.0.
Hence i will have to upgrade my iPhone to 2.0.
Hence i asked has anyone tried?
Regards,
Shriniket Sarkar
June 21st, 2008 at 9:01 pm
my friend is planning to buy an iphone for me in US after the 3G iphone launch which has firmware version 2.0. Is it possible to unlock this newer firmware version or should i delay buying iphone till it is launched in India.
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:44 am
Hi,
@Vedasmc
Well I guess the firmware 2.0 is still in its beta stages.
Hence let it allow to get into its full form.If ur friend can get it for
u then its always better cos in us u will get it for less price than
what they would launch here in India.This is what I feel.
But wait till the unlock for the firmware 2.0 gets released.
Even if u purchase here the iPhone will b locked for airtel and vodafone
I guess hence why not buy it for less cost from US.
I would suggest wait till 3G with 2.0 gets launched and unlock gets released.
June 23rd, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Hi.. i hav 1 doubt.. some body pls clear it..
If i buy an iphone 3G from Us or gulf, will i be able to unlock it and use it with airtel or vodofone. And will i be able to use the 3G services provided by them. shud i wait till its launched in india or purchase it now itself from US or somewhere..
Pls advice…
June 23rd, 2008 at 10:29 pm
HI
@Vivek,
Well If ur getting into an attraction of using 3G here in INDIA u will have to wait then ….Cos i dont find any quick moves regarding 3G launch in india by any provider.
Well unlocking of 2.0 iPhone i dont think its done yet.
Hence u will have to wait.
June 23rd, 2008 at 10:38 pm
@Vivek: I would suggest waiting till the iPhone 3G launch in India. Moreover it looks like the Activation process of the iPhone 3G has to be done at the store itself. That leaves you with only one option to buy from USA – The totally network-independent unlocked iPhone 3G which will cost around >$400 instead of the AT&T subsidized $199. Again the latest available 2.0beta firmware – though jailbroken and unlocked, would require some more good field tests once the actual device is out.So WAITING is the keyword for now!
June 23rd, 2008 at 11:19 pm
i recently bought an iphone..and i stay in delhi..i have a vodafone connection..so i activated the vodafone connect service in my phone inorder to access the internet..also earlier my brother who had an airtel card wih internet services on it had used my iphone to access the internet and it had worked very fast and very successfully..since then the EDGE symbol E has been there on the top of my screen even after i repleaced sims..switched it on and off a couple of times..its still there..but even after my net got activated..i keep on getting this edge not activated message..i even changed the edge settings to APN-”www” username=password=”"…still same message what do i doo..!!!!?? pleasseee help..!!
June 28th, 2008 at 9:26 am
Guys, you’ll are all dump asses
For Internet to work on Airtel / iphone first send sms to 511 “gprsact” this will activate your gprs within 4 hrs.
now in the edge settings put APN: airlelgprs.com
Username and Pasword leave blank.
Thats it.
June 28th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
@Vinpin
Great u got great knowledge it seems ………
Megha Samor in her msg said that she has activated the serivce on her Vodafone sim card. She asked how can she get rid of that symbol of EDGE and what are u talking of…….?
Its very simple if u cant help just dont talk.Non on this blog are dumb asses.Please mind ur language.No negatives from my side buddy.
@Megha Samor
Well actually i guess this is a problem with the iPhone EDGE icon.Even i do face this error sometimes …..
Even if we try to get rid of that EDGE Icon from the Boss Prefs app… it still keeps popping up checking all the time whether the EDGE network is available or not.
Well i guess there was a patch or to say there was a fix for this issue but i dont remember for which firmware it was for.
Well to say no solution for this problem as if now …try googling if u get any leads on this issue.
Dont forget to share.

July 1st, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Dear Shriniket,
I had one problem occuring quiet frequently on iPhone. The timings of my incoming and outgoing calls change suddenly somtimes and remain the same. For Ex- If i Get a call at 16.00hrs, the time will change to say 22.00 hrs. All call timings will change suddenly and show different timings. In this situation I will not be able to see my call details prior to 22.00 hrs. That means if i get a call at 19.00 hrs that call will be showed below my call of 22.00hrs. Hope I express ed my problem properly. ANyone is facing this problem? Pls help with Suggestion.
Thanks

Hi
@Ajay Well I never encountered such a bug.What
firmware are u running on ur iPhone?and have u installed any
Apps for logging the events?I mean apps like iLog or iCalls or weTools?
cos I had found wetool to show the cell nos stored in my contacts incorrectly.
Well the only apps I had liked was iLog but unfortunately its not free to use.
hence I dont use them any more.try removing all such logging apps which tend
to use the original database for these data analysing part.Be on firmware 1.1.4 and things run fine.
July 2nd, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Hi Shriniket,
Yes, I have installed We tools as I have facility of forwarding SMS from that. Apart from that there is no other utility by that for me. Im on 1.1.4. So any other tool to forward SMS which can help without these bugs..?
Thanks
AJAY
July 2nd, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Hi
@AJAY
Well i have described the app names SMSD. This does all that weTool does even it does many more features than weTool.
Try installing that.Also if ur running cydia i guess this app is available and it works fine.
Infact recently when i reinstalled the firmware 1.1.4 i had to install all the apps again so now when i have installed this SMSD app its working fine and even the original MobileSMS app is working fine.Earlier for me both were not working simultaneously.
Try installing SMSD.I Guess it will solve ur problem.

When will the new iphone 3G unlock be out ?
July 14th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
I went to buy the Iphone 3G in CA, they wanted to run a credit check on me , i came back, i dont want to commit to a plan
July 14th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Hi,
@bhunesh,
Well it really does not matter which connection i mean the carrier u have.There must be GPRS or EDGE or Wi-Fi running on ur iPhone then and then only u can get things from installer.
Well if ur talking of games like prince and all high config games i didnt find any links in installer for them.
But using an installer is a lot simpler.Just get to the installer app…search for the games section u can get a description by clicking on the more info part in the installer under that particular game.Get to know what is it about and then just say install on the right top corner of the screen.Ur done the game will appear on the screen.
@Abhishek
Well buddy let the iPhone 3G hit the market world wide first.Then may be we can expect for an unlock.
@Raveeshu
Well u can try buying online.I guess that will allow u to get the phone delivered at ur doorstep.And it will be without a service provider agreement.I guess that will help u.

I have been using the iphone from last few months. Last week tried upgrading & downloading itunes from the apple site & my ph got locked. I got it unlocked and lost all my data. Can any body help me in the following – 1. How to get the data from ZYB.com. 2. My edge is not working, how to star it again. 3. How to upgarde my 1.1.2 iphone. Thx
July 21st, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Hi
@annu
Well dont know about zyb.com . I wonder why would u save all ur contacts on that website?
Well regarding edge not working get upgraded to the latest firmware and u will be fixed with edge problem.
Regarding upgrade get the firmware 1.1.4 downloaded from the apple website or simply from itunes check for update for iphone.It will do it all automatically but again ur iphone will get locked and u will have to unlock it again.
And make sure this time u take a backup of everything on ur own machine rather than taking it on some website.U may risk potential info regarding u and ur contacts if u go for back up on some website.
regards,
Shriniket Sarkar

HI,
Has anyone used iBlackList app ?And does it work along with SMSD app?
Regards,
Shriniket Sarkar
July 24th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
@Shriniket – Are you sure SMSD is compatible with 1.1.4 and above, i read it isnt ?
July 24th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Hi
@WiseTechie
Well no doubt regarding SMSD app s operation. It works fine with me.I have been using it since i got my iPhone in March it was on firmware 1.1.3 which i upgraded to 1.1.4 and still its working fine till today.I guess the firmware 2.0 is still to come.
But its working on 1.1.4.
I guess if u follow the procedure that i stated above it will work for u too.
Try it and let me know.

by mistake i have updated my iphone with itunes 7.7 , now i am not able to crack or unlock it . pls help me how to do it .
September 9th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Hi Shriniket,
Im using 1.1.4 and a new problem started on my mobile. Im not able to type letter Q and 1 in my SMS key board. what could be the problem> Can you please help? Thanks
September 9th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Hi
@ AJAY
Do you use any SMS applications?
Well conduct some tests .
1. Try typing using the default MobileSMS.app and check whether the keys work?
2.Try typing in the Safari Browser in Vertical Mode and then in Horizontal Mode check if those keys work.
If in the first case the keys work then try reinstalling the app where u found that the keys arent working.
If in the second case you find that they are not working in the vertical mode and they are working in the horizontal mode then it will be obvious that the screen location where those keys get located in the vertical mode have become insensible.
Also there can be a software problem which can only be rectified by reinstalling the firmware.(In case if you need to install the firmware again then make sure to take a backup first.)
And if still it doesnot seem to get going then probably you are in trouble with the screen.
Regards,
Shriniket Sarkar
September 9th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Hi Shriniket,
Thanks. I am following your instructions and will inform you once its done. I have one more problem. Even though my Call Forward settings are off.. when im making a call there is message for every call made that- Call Forward Active.. How to deactivate this? Thanks
September 9th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
@Ajay – That happens in a lot of phones (used to happen in my Nokia too), i dont think thats a problem, i think its got something to do with call waiting which gets active when a call is in progress, maybe thats the thing.
September 16th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Shriniket,
As you mentioned earlier the letters are working in horizontal mode and not in vertical mode. I tried to reinstall the complete firm ware but its not working. Now the problem has become bigger and all the left corner menus are also not working. What is the solution? Please help.
Thanks
AJAY
September 16th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Hi,
@AJAY,
Well if thats the case then probably your screen has incurred some damage.Because if you can type in horizontal mode then the location where those letters point is working but in horizontal mode the location of the screen where the letters point isnt.To be frank if it would have been because of any software then reinstalling the firmware should have solved the problem .But as its not getting solved then probably you will have to go to the apple store to get it checked.Because hardware ka kya karoge ?I have heard that we get apple iPhone screen for replacement.Search in google so that you can search for options for replacing it.
September 18th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
Hi Shriniket,
I think my screen is only problem. Can you please help with details on where I can get this screen changed. I am trying in google but not getting the correct details.
Please help.
Thanks

Reload your software, or upgrade to 2.1, its a good release
September 24th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Hi,
@manu,
Do you have any graphics features enabled?I mean any customise or which springboard are you using?Are you using SMBprefs?
The best thing to do will be to restart your cell phone and when it starts then simply press an hold any icon on your iPhone then they will start to flicker.Then you can arrange them as required.
Also if you have any themes in place then try getting everything to default and then i hope it will work.

Hi Shriniket,
My friend bought a new release of iPhone (not 1.1.4) from US. Can we use the same Ziphone to unlock it. What is the process to do it? Or if i have to use it as 1.1.4, can i directly connect the phone 1.1.4 firmware and unlock it like i did it for my old 1.1.1 version iPhone? Please help.

Hi Mac,
I am trying to help a friend solving an issue with the iPhone. He got the iPhone unlocked from a local guy. The iPhone worked fine for few days. Now it has white and black bars on the screen. Nothing is working. iTunes cannot detect the device. He has tried a hard reset with no luck. Would appreciate your assistance.
Thanks.
October 11th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
Hi
@Santosh
Well i hope its not a duplicate same iPhone looking China product .Because if something is with the hardware then iTunes will not be able to detect …and if its with the software then atleast in the DFU mode it should detect the iPhone.

Can someone guide me.
Please give me your IM.
What tools are required etc?
October 21st, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Hi
@Vivek
Well about kuwait i cant say anything.But i guess if its an unlocked iPhone then it has to work on any GSM network service provider.
@Hermit
Hi well i am running on 1.1.4 still as i didnt get time to upgrade …but soon i am planning to get on to 2.1.
@Himanshu
Well no problem actually i should say accidents are good if they happen without you know how to avoid them.But ay ways heres the link i guess it will help you out in unlocking your iPhone 2.1 again.
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1880
Also i havent yet tried this but i guess all that you get on iClarified website works.Hence try it out and then let us all know what was the outcome.
I am also planning to get my iPhone on 2.1 but not having much time these days hence if you can help me after trying this then it will be great.
@prashant s
Hi well you too can follow the link that i gave to himanshu. Also if you are not running on 2.1 firmware then you will have to verify your firmware.Just check if its any 1.1.x version. And if its a 1.1.x version then you can use the ZiPhone 3.0 version to get it unlocked.
@Everyone
Let us all know what results you guys get. Also is there someone who has tried a 2G phone upgrade to 2.1 from 1.1.4 firmware?

secondly i want to to know how to acces net in my iPHONE using wifi….i want to tell u airtelgprs has been activated on my iphone….and i also got installed an MTNL wifi router specially to access net on my iPHONE and when i try to connect i get the error time out or server stopped responding……the procedure i follow for connecting is-
1 switch on my wifi router
2 click on wifi tab in my settings
3 click on the connection and go back to the main page
4 try accessing the net through safari but of no use.
my settings in the phone are
what numbers i should put in ip address subnet mask
router
dns
search domain
etc coz the mtnl people are unable to help me out as they dont know the settings for iphone
October 26th, 2008 at 11:59 am
HI
@Himanshu
Well for the iTunes not recognizing your iPHone i guess you will have to get your iPhone firmware installed again. Because if its recognizing sometimes then i guess that hardware is good there seems to be a problem with the software.Hence a firmware reinstall will help.
For wifi:
1. Get internet running on your wi-fi router from MTNL .if you have any laptop or any wi-fi device you can confirm whether your getting the wi-fi network and the internet is ON on it.
2. Once you get hte wi-fi configured then you simply have to go to settings tab icon on your iPhone and switch the WI-Fi option ON. then it will show you your wireless routers name there and then you will get connected to that wi-fi network.Its that simple. For accessing Wi-Fi on your iPHone via a Wireless Router you need not do any setting on your iPHone provided your wi-fi router is set to DHCP.
3. for gprs on iPhone i dont really know the settings. BUt i guess you can find the setting on this blog itself above. I guess Mac has given for the settings abouve somewhere. You wil need to search from the start.

Shriniket Sarkar

Hi @ Everyone,
Well all those who are on 2G iPHone firmware 1.1.x which is unlocked and jailbreaked they can now upgrade to 2.1 very easily.
I have done so and it works superb.Follow this step by step tutorial to get this done. I hope the admin doesnot mind, me posting this link here :

Hi,
I was going through the posts on iphone 3g in singapore where apparently it is sold in the unlocked status. This is confirmed from the website of apple. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937 . Basically, one has to buy a singtel connection, but can use other network carrier’s simcards also (like M1 & Starhub).
I wanted to know if such a phone can be bought in india and used with any network in india without unlocking. Also is there a check on itunes software website which would preclude ppl from doing so? Has anyone bought an “unlocked” phone from a place like singapore / australia and tried it out here in india. Would appreciate your response to the queries.
Thanks

Hi,
I purchased the latest 3G iPhone from Australia. I’m Airtel user. But my 3G iPhone is not working with Airtel network. Please help me.
Thanks.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Hi guys,
@Venky
Well see things arent really very clear for the 3G unlocking scheme. Hence cant say if that would work or not.Its obvious that apple can lock the phone to few carriers. Hence it may work in Singapore with a number of carriers there but they may have imposed lock for other country carriers. Well according to what you said it seems that its still locked even if you get it as unlocked for the carriers there. All you need to do is unlock it for all the GSM carriers.That will make it possible to use the phone here in India too. Well the article which i have written also has a link associated with it in the end of the article.Do check it out.There are some comments written on that link from some of the 3G iPHone users who have used this procedure to unlock even their 3G iPhones.I guess that will help.But remember unlocking by any methods will void the warranty of the phone.
@Kendy
Well check that article link that i have given in the post no :492 on this thread. And also check the responses to the link that is given in that article. There are some comments from users of 3G iphone too.It seems that the procedure seems to work for 3G iPhone users too.Check that article.It will help you.But remember all that you try you need to try it at your own risk ….
We all here are to help.

November 17th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Hi
@bharat
Well i dont think you would get it at that cost in India anymore.Because the officially launched iPhone in India cost around 30k so even in the grey market i dont think you would get it that low. Well you can still get it at that price if you can manage to get it from US and then unlock it for india.

hey to all those who have bought their iPhone from US can anyone help me with the procedure of getting an iPhone 3G for 16000 through a contract with AT&T from US as my friend is over there for 20 days.Ive heard you require a social security card or something which my friend doesnt have since he is an Indian resident and no one over there will help with their social security card as the phone will be purchased under their name and once my friend brings the h/s back to India the contract will be canceled and the person who provided the social security card will be charged for the contract cancellation fees and if he doesnt pay it may affect his cedit rating over there.

hi sarab because of the official software update from apple your iphone has been locked again.Keep in mind that if your iphone is jailbroken and unlocked never do an official software update from apple always wait for the jailbroken updates by the devteam which is the same update as the official one just jailbroken and does not lock your h/s again.Now Sarab the issue is that the new official software update 2.2 changes your baseband version which temporarily makes it unlockable as the devteam havent figured it out yet but are working on it and the unlock software is expected soon.
So what you can try is since your phone was unlocked earlier from your phone find out the baseband version.If it has changed to the new one (02.30.03) then your phone TEMPORARILY wont be unlockable again until the new software for the same is released by the dev team but if your baseband is unchanged (02.28.00) then you’ll have to get it unlocked again if you want from the same person you got it done before.Best Of Luck Mate.
Sarab can you believe after reading this post that I dont have an Iphone yet but I know everything about it.Infact I have just posted a question before yours but no replies yet.I hope this post gives you a fair bit of an idea and helps you out.

hey friends,
actully i had brought iphone 3g from uk to india and it was a 2.2 version but by mistake i had upgrade it on 2.2.1 and tried it to unlock it for indian networks but i wasn’t succed but one of my friend told me to use turbo card for to use all types of networks in india.
i did it what he said and my phone working very well on turbo card on airtel network.
but my problem is when i activated gprs then E symbol shows on the top but none of the page can be open and the message comes like ” u r not suscribe the data plane” ….. so anyone of u can tell me the solution and the other thing is turbo card could be safe for my mobile or not?

I have an older 8Gb iPhone that I purchased and am using in the USA on AT&T with software version 2.2 installed. I would like to use a Vodaphone card in it for the next month that I am in Delhi, even if just to make my ability to send text messages easier.
I am UNABLE to download the PDF files. Can these be sent to me by email?
Thank You,

HI ALL,
Any idea on when would the unlock for 2.30 base band be made available by the Dev team. I am stuck with a dead iphone, after upgrading to firmware 2.2.1.This accidental upgrade converted my base band to 2.30.
Any suggestions on how to make it work, or rather how long will i have to wait.
Many thanks to ALL…

Can I buy iPhone 3Gs in Apple store, Canada????
Happy to know that we have option to unlock even the 3Gs version.
But can anyone tell me what drawbacks will be there in buying the iPhone in Apple store??? should I need to pay any extra money to the cell phone service provider there in Canada???
My friend told me to buy second hand in Canada and do unlock to use it in India, to avoid the contract deal with cell phone service provider and extra pay.
