imageInstalling iPhone hacks made easy with hands-on tutorial - Windows Edition (at last)

It has been only 2 days since folks at Gizmodo published the really helpful hands-on tutorial to load the updated version of "Installer.app" onto your iPhone making it very easy to install unauthorized third-party native applications (or iPhone hacks) onto your iPhone. However, at that point the step by step...

    This is great news, however what isn't clear is if it wipes all the data on the iPhone? If so, does iTunes handle the sync? Things like my Wifi settings would therefore not be saved and i'd need to make sure I had those details recorded.

    Got the Installer installed okay on 1.0.1. Tried installing NES -- appeared to install (get the icon), but running it just gives me a blank screen. I can change the "Preferences" and that's it. :\

    Ok so i got my iPhone the day it came out,(haha in line for 13and a 1/2 hours) and it has been activated through AT&T(iTunes). Ok my question is, can i still use iBricker with an already unlocked iPhone? and if so do i have to worry about all my contacts(is there a way to backup contacts?), Photos, music, bookmarks being deleted?(im assuming so since it uses the restore. i hope im wrong). One more thing, if anything happens to the firmware. can it be restored? Sorry for the trouble but $590 is alot of money and i dont wana ruin my phone lol.

    Hey guys, I got a question, I had 1.02 that was jailbroken. I own primarily a PC, but I use a MAC at Work. I restored it, used iFuntastic 3 to UNSHACKLE it (while I was at work), and then I got home, restored it once again on my PC, Is there a PC utility that will access an unshackled iPhone file system?
    It is to my understanding that once a phone is unshackled, even after a restore, it remains unshackled? it doesn't require itunes to be shut-down in order to write to the file system, Is this true only for MAC?

    K so I installed the iBricker I loved it until I realized that it took up 6.5 gigs!!! that didn't leave me much room for my music, or even enouph for one movie!!! Though the features and apps that are availible are amazing and I could really use them, it completely makes the iphone a typical pda with no music, which is one of the major things of an iphone is it is and ipod. i would like to see this take up less room so i could at least put my favs on i dont expect it to be nothing but 6gigs thats as much as Windows XP takes up and these apps arent that big, it didnt matter how many apps i put on the size never changed so even for one app its 6 gigs or for 15 apps its 6 gigs of space!!

    I bought my iPhone in Dubai (2007-11) and it came to me with v1.0.2 and the baseband 04.01.13_G. I thought that 04.01.13_G is usually used for 1.1.1. The phone was working in the shop and I made a test call with my Telenor SIM roaming in Etisalat network but it started complaining on no valid SIM after 24 hours and as it was no guaranty I could not get any help from the shop in Dubai.

    I have the firmware 1.0.2. The baseband should be 03.14.08_G based on the information on internet.

    Even thought I use iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore.ipsw for restore in iTunes I get 04.01.13_G as the baseband. Is it correct to say that the 4.01 baseband works fine with both 1.0.2 and 1.1.1?

    My iPhone is currently restored back to 1.0.2 and locked. I do not have an ATT card. I have downloaded iBrickr 0.91 and iTunes 7.5.

    I have managed to restore back and forward to 1.0.2 and 1.1.1 many times using shift key in iTunes and following the clear instructions in iBrickr with success (red display after jailbreak etc.) but can't get through the activation part! *#301# or *#307# back door is not working for me as it complains about "No SIM card installed. Insert an unlocked and valid SIM to activate iPhone".

    I tried the old way of putting lockdownd downloaded to /usr/libexec/ on iPhone using iBrickr. Then I could get through the activation by restarting the iPhone and directly getting to the main menu and activate WiFi etc using anySIM and all unlocking tools on iphone.unlock.no (added as source) using the upgraded installer etc. The problem is that iPhone becomes extremely slow (almost unusable) and I can use all the other functions except the phone itself.

    During one of my trials I even virinized it and got back baseband 03.14.08_G and still could not use my local SIM card nor solve the speed of the device.

    I am tired on finding a way to solve it. I am open for any suggestions, explanations or new ways to solve this as it can always be restored in iTunes. Can anyone help and save my XMAS?

    Thanks for any hints!

    In order to give you a better starting point for helping me, here is what I have done as the last action to bring my iPhone to a well defined status.

    I have installed iBrickr v0.91 and used the function in it to download 1.0.2 and restored my IPhone via iTunes 7.5 using the shift key. I used the file downloaded via iBrickr (1.0.2.ipsw 93,387 KB). Using *3001#12345#* I get the Firmware version: 03.14.08_G which is good.

    Now I have to solve the problem of unlocking the phone. When I try the backdoor *#301# or *#307# it says “Error performing request SIM Not Inserted.

    I have my local Telenor SIM with PIN disabled inserted and have tried to use other SIM cards but it does not help. Please advise.

    Cheers,

    Ramses

    I can now get to the springboard (desktop) bypassing the activation by using (CLICK Here)activate.bat script from our Brazilian friend following the hints on http://www.hacktheiphone.com/74/iphone_step2_windows_74.html.

    Everything works fine including Youtube!

    I run anySIM 1.0.2 (loaded via iBrickr) and it run successfully. However I don’t get the carrier option and it still says No SIM card installed (I have my local Telenor SIM).

    Any hints?

    Regards,

    Ramses

    ok for the ppl who are having the problem with the continuous reboot. install the latest itunes, and while you're about to plug in the iphone into your computer, hold the home button.

    that way, itunes will detect your iphone and you can restore it
