££99 for an iPhone!? see this is the kind of price I'm happy to get one at just so I can ermm mess about with it... I know it will never replace the BB....


Posted by shanespencer
I took my iPhone back for exchange today, as the earpiece speaker was faulty. That phone was 1.1.4. The one they gave me today was from a new batch of stock, and it was 1.1.2! Weird!

Posted by masseur
yeah, the one I got for my daughter yesterday was 1.1.2. I upgraded to 1.1.4 and she has not left it alone since she got it!

the cpw guy I bought it from mentioned the O2 discount for these and it is very interesting and I guess right now it can't compare with BB for BB functionality but perhaps when the 3g version comes with V2 o/s it might make it more interesting for BB/exchange type people

Hi Voda Jon

I can highly recommend the Vaja cases as have one for my ordinary iPod although they are not cheap and i also got stung for £16 by customs they are quality cases. They have many designs and loads of colour options from which to design it yourself if you want something a little more individual and can be found here,

@dogmann... yeh looked at them a little too pricey for what i want really....

Seen one on a site the other day but forgot the site.... it was a metal one but was very very flush with the screen so didnt make it much more bulky than the phone on its own.

An finally got summerboard installed and themes goin on now

Im almost certainly going to buy an iphone today, but would just like clarification on one point.If the iphone i get is running 1.12 firmware, can i get it home plug it into my mac and just upgrade the firmware to 1.14 using itunes before using ziphone ?., and will ziphone unlock, jailbreak and activate my new iphone ?. Thanks in advance, i just want to be armed with all the information.

Regards Craig

Posted by masseur
when I first connected the iphone I got I friday, Itunes wanted me to register it so I ran ziphone to activate, jailbreak and unlock.

when that I was done I could see that the firmware was 1.1.2 so I used ziphone to "prepare for upgrade", downloaded the 1.1.4 firmware using the link in ziphone and then used itunes to restore (pressing shift and restore) that firmware to the iphone

I then re-ran ziphone to actiavte, jailbreak and unlock again

possibly there is a quicker route but that worked for me. maybe after first connection of the iphone to itunes you can go straight to the "prepare for upgrade" and start from there

Posted by lemmy31
Thanks Masseur, lets hope i get a 1.14 version


Regards Craig

Posted by voda_jon
i jus jailbroke mine and activated using ziphone then upgraded in itunes and jailbroke, activated and unlocked in ziphone again....

in the ziphone GUI there's a help button and in there are suggestions for fixing that (such as doing a reset network settings). if that fails then simply reflash the firmware and re-ziphone it.

I had the same problem first time but a reflash fixed it

Posted by shanespencer
Try running ziphone all over again. It happened to me before, and I know others who had the same thing happen. It should work fine after the second attempt.

Good luck!

yes

Don't forget, ziphone will downgrade your bootloader, so if you have to take the phone back for exchange or repair, you'll need to install Bootneuter through installer, flash the bootloader back to 4.6, and then restore using iTunes. THEN you'll have a factory-fresh iPhone again.

Posted by lemmy31
Right, ive just bought mine and cant wait to get home to ziphone it, hope i dont have any problems....... are you on standby Shane to answer any problems i might have

Regards Craig

Posted by shanespencer
I finish at about 5:15!

Never mind, I'll pop on this evening. PM me if you have any questions

Posted by lemmy31
Top man Shane.....thanks for your advice etc

Theres some Speculation going around on the Vodafone eforum that the 3G iPhone may come out on them is that so?

I thought it was a 02 phone :?

Posted by whentheleveebreaks
i htink o2 have got a 5 year deal with Apple for the iPhone so i would have thought not

Posted by Miss UK
The Vodafone Administrators seem to be giving settings for its customers who have unlocked iPhones,
and there saying watch this space basically it may come so do they know something we don't

I can't see 02 letting it go to be quite frank..
do 02 reach alot of Sales with iPhones?



Posted by voda_jon
jus ad a look through some of the reports on the o2/apple agreement and it seems they have a 5yr deal for the iPhone....

i dont think this would cover the next versions only the initial iphone.... plus it seems in news as well on engadget that a german network has said it is going to stock the 3G iPhone (which apple and at&t have conf will be released sometime) without an agreement with apple and no revenue share or profit share±

J.


Posted by Miss UK
Hmm so sounds intresting then watch this space ehh

btw is this what networks are gonna be about eventually fighting over who sells what kind of phone first lol ok...

Hi all

Having decided that a 8GB iPhone @£169 is to good an opportunity to pass up, i just have few questions.

Is ZiPhone the best and easiest to use in most peoples opinion? as all looks nice and simple on Modify My iPhone.

Is Outlook integration good? as that will be it's main use and this last one may seem like a silly question but i can i just use Data over WiFi?

Marc

If you've got a Mac, use Pawnage Tool, it's the safest way to jailbreak, and doesn't damage or change the bootloader.

Posted by voda_jon
@dogmann.... i have used ziphone now a few times on mates iphones and i've never had a single prob....

J.

Posted by Dogmann
Hi all

Thanks for the replies should be getting mine later when i wake up but realised i was looking at earlier versions of ZiPhone and realise now with version 3.0 it is all done for you.

Really looking forward to getting it home and setting it up sorry wasn't very clear about what i meant about using WiFi only for Data but realise now i just need to add Boossprefs to stop it using GRPS or EDGE.

Just trying to track down a Shure MCA-C3 which is an adapter and microphone for my Shure earphones.

Marc

Help please!!!!!

My iphone has gone weird!! Keep getting black and white lines and apple logo flashing! Have the home screen up now but nothing works I have original firmware and unlocked to vodafone. Not sure what to do or is it dead?

thanks

Posted by DragonEye
@Marc... wifi takes priority of edge/gprs on the iphone... you'll understand when you get it.

it will use itunes and pull calender data in.. so outlook should be fine.

you can use ziphone to recover and restore you rphone.

Posted by thomas93
I think so, but if you cant WINPWN.

Posted by weasel
I was putting a theme on the phone and it came up with error and just locked the screen. i turned it on and off again and know it is stuck on the home screen and none of the buttons work. I can turn it off and on again but it just freezes up.

Sorry to be apain but dont want to mess it up

thanks again neil

Posted by weasel
I have done it!!! phew....... all restored and upgraded to new firmware!

Thanks for your help everyone

Posted by iainkane
I have a question is it possible to download the 1.14 update to your machine to update multiple phones so it can be done offline and without downloading the update each time?

Posted by masseur
yes, ziphone has links to each firmware in its "help and info" so you can download it to your pc

here is 1.1.4

in itunes just hold the shift key while you press restore and you get a dialogue to select the file to restore

Posted by iainkane
Hi mate,

Thanks for the help I've promised to help someone get his iPhone unlocked and updated etc. What program do you need to update the edge settings as he is on voda?

Posted by masseur
you don't need any program. on the phone, just go to settings > general > network and click EDGE and enter "internet" (no quotes) as the APN

Apple Considering 'Free' Access to iTunes Library

Posted by Dogmann
Hi all,

Well i have officially joined the Club now got mine this afternoon but didn't do anything till about 22:00. All went fine and was easy with ZiPhone accept i still had 1.13 firmware and no installer or Z Blog icons.

So went to iTunes to upgrade and restore and then disaster struck at the end of the upgrade it said error and i was stuck in restore mode neither itunes or Ziphone and using downloaded 1.14 firmware would finish.

About one hour later and about 12 attempts it eventually did restore and upgrade and then just used ZiPhone again to unlock jailbrake and activate.

So as long as you don't a PANIC and keep on trying it does all work out in the end.

It is taking me a little while to get to grips with it all and the very different system, just want to ensure i don't end up with a huge Data bill when out of WiFi cover but i suppose as long as i don't have anything auto updating it should be fine. Or is some going to tell me that's wrong?

What i really can't believe is how smooth and fast it is and once i stop looking for a stylus it will be great. Think i still need to spend a few hours downloading the apps i want and setting it all up have already started shifting the icons i won't be using onto a second page.

Will let you all know in a couple of a days how i have 3G/HSDPA with mine well sort of i could get the speeds.

Marc

Posted by weasel
I ran ziphone last night after i restored and upgraded from 1.0.1 (the original firmware?) and it was running for about 15 mins and the white text had stopped scrolling on my iphone so had to stop it and restore again through itunes, but it worked all fine the second time round

My iphone is really fast now and am glad i updated to 1.1.4.

Marc if you are concerned just turn the data off at first to get the hang of things.. use bossprefs as you mentioned before to turn off edge... you'll know it's off cause it'll either prompt with a wifi network that's closeby or tell you "there is no edge connection available"
