Am I correct in that there's no problem with iPhone 2 or 3G, it's only 3GS which needs its SHSH and ECID backing up? > More details from the source, http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ - there's no > point believing any other websites about it except as additional > information to these guys postings. But are any of these websites written in English? I mean English as written and understood by a bloke over 50? It seems to me that the iphone-dev guys know a hell of a lot, but assume the reader does too, and any "clarification" is written in street-speak on a bulletin-board by teenagers whose knowledge of clear writing is hampered in that they may once have seen a punctuation mark in a museum, or have possibly heard one described, ditto correct spelling etc etc <dissolves into choleric rant> MST

I am almost entirely sure this is the case - except I've never concentrated on 3G needs, since I never had one. Definitely the 2G is wide open without needing those keys stored. >> More details from the source, http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ - there's no >> point believing any other websites about it except as additional >> information to these guys postings. > >But are any of these websites written in English?

I ws going to go into a similar rant (or at least comment that as with all cracking groups, documentation is *very* poor), but then I read the "Pre-game show" post about 3.1.3 and thought "Actually, that's fine, and covers all cases clearly". But I've been jailbreaking since a few months after the 2G came out, and I'm 37... Go to iclarified.com for more newbie friendly hints - the 3.1.3 PwnageTool method/recipe is identical to earlier 3.x versions. But don't trust any site that says "This won't work" if iphone-dev.org says it will (or vice versa), is what I mean.

I'm no newbie, but keeping up with the battle between Apple and iphone-dev is a struggle (newbie or not) if your brain only processes correct English. > Go to iclarified.com for more newbie friendly hints - the 3.1.3 > PwnageTool method/recipe is identical to earlier 3.x versions. Yes, that *is* a good site for clarity, but it tends only to give recipes, not understanding. I prefer to know what's happening so that if something does go wrong I can recover using native intelligence. > But don't trust any site that says "This won't work" if iphone-dev.org > says it will (or vice versa), is what I mean. Agreed. MST

Hmm... It's sentences like: Superbowl Sunday�s PwnageTool 3.1.5 for Mac OS X will let you do so safely, preserving your jailbreak and ultrasn0w unlock. �(If you use the blacksn0w unlock (at baseband 05.11.07), you need to stay at 3.1.2.) which worry me. What's an ultrasn0w unlock? How is it different from a blacksn0w unlock, or indeed any other kind? How do I know which I'm using? In fact, since I'm with O2, how can I tell if my phone is unlocked at all? Which version of baseband am I using, and how do I find out? There's a big need for a site which answers these questions in terms an intelligent but uninformed person can grasp. MST |
