Someone complain about dissappearing signal after jailbreaking.

w i f i s i g n a l s . n e t / s h o w t h r e a d . p h p ? t = 2 4
I redsn0w and ultrasn0w my 3g. Currently I am using original SIM. When ultrasn0w is installed sometimes the signal bars disappear for a couple of seconds and a message reads “No SIM installed”. after pressing OK and waiting another 2-3 seconds the signal appears again. i don’t know if this is because I am using original carrier SIM with ulrasn0w but just decided to share it you, guys. eventually I decided to uninstall ultrasn0w. i don’t know what the situation would be with third-party SIM.

Jailbreak and Unlock Your Iphone using Windows

From someone who I forgot his url. so sorry for this.
——————————————————————————–

This guide is for windows users that want to jailbreak/unlock their Iphone 3G / 2G only. Mac users please use the correct guide. 3GS users look here
This guide works with 3.0 firmware Only. Currently 3.0 is the newest firmware for the iPhone. In the future be sure not to upgrade to a newer firmware until a guide is posted for that firmware version.

Reasons to Jailbreak your Iphone are
1. You want to run 3rd party apps on your iphone
2. You want to Unlock your Iphone to be used with other services such as T-Mobile.

To unlock your Iphone it must be Jailbroke first.
Currently this is done with software called RedSn0w 7.2
RedSn0w 7.2 will jailbreak your Iphone so you can install 3rd party apps.
Once RedSn0w 7.2 is installed you can then install a third party app called UltraSn0w to unlock your Iphone so it can be used with other providers such as T-Mobile.

Step 1. Download redsn0w-win_0.7.2 Once the file has downloaded right click on the zip file and choose extract all.

Step 2. Make sure you have iTunes 8.2 if you have an older version just upgrade it in iTunes. If not get it here

Step 3. Check your Iphone’s firmware version. To do this go to Settings > General > About look at the version #. If it says 3.0 skip to step 6. If it is not 3.0 but is a lower version number download version 3.0
3.0 for 3G Iphone

3.0 for 2G Iphone

Step 4. Make sure you have an ATT sim installed. It does not matter if its activated or not. Open iTunes and connect your Iphone to your PC. iTunes should see your iPhone. It will be listed under devices. Click on your Iphone in the devices menu.
If your iphone is stuck on the apple logo or iTunes will not recognize your Iphone do this.
Leave iTunes open and leave the cable plugged into your Iphone but unplug it from your pc. Hold down the power button and the home button until your screen goes blank. Release the power button but continue to hold down the home button and plug your Iphone into your pc. Keep holding the home button for 20-30 seconds. iTunes will see your phone and prompt you to restore.

Step 5. Hold down the shift key and click restore. Browse to the IPSW file that you downloaded in step 3 and select Open. The install process will begin. Let it complete fully. Your phone will reboot and iTunes will see it again. iTunes will ask you to setup as new phone or to restore from backup. It is very important with 3.0 that you choose setup as new phone. Once complete close iTunes.

Step 6. Locate the unzipped file from step 1 named redsn0w-win_0.7.2. Open it run the exe file named redsn0w.

Step 7. You will be prompted to select the corresponding IPSW for your current firmware. Click Browse and locate the same IPSW file that you downloaded in step 3.

Step 8. Redsn0w will verify the file. Once verified click Next.

Step 9. Redsn0w will prompt you to choose Cydia and/or Icy. I recommend Cydia and not Icy. People have reported battery issues when both are installed. Click Next.

Step 10. Redsn0w will prompt you with instructions to leave your iPhone plugged in and turn it off. Once your iPhone is completely Off and still plugged in to your pc click Next.

Step 11. You will be prompted to hold the power button for 3 seconds.
Then without releasing the power button hold it and the home button down for 10 seconds. Next release the power button but keep holding down the home button for 30 seconds. Redsn0w will start jailbreaking your Iphone. If not click back and start over at step 10.

Step 12. You will notice your Iphone will start installing files. Once Redsn0w says Done click Finish. Leave your Iphone alone at this time it will reboot when finished. Once your Iphone has rebooted it will be jailbroke. If all you want to do is jailbreak your iphone you are finished. If you also want to Unlock it so you can use it with other service providers such as T-Mobile continue to the next step.

Step 13. For this step you will need wifi access on your Iphone. To connect to your wifi network select Settings > Wifi on your Iphone. Under choose a network select on your network. If your are running a secure network you will be prompted to enter the network password or key and click join. Once connected continue to the next step.

Step 14. Click the Home button and locate Cydia. You may have to scroll to the next screen to find it. Click the Cydia icon. It will display “reorganizing Will close automatically when done.”

Step 15. Open Cydia again. If you get the Waiting for activation msg just dismiss it. You will be prompted with “Who Are You” Choose User (Graphical Only)

Step 16. Cydia will start loading and will reload data. You will be prompted to upgrade. Choose Upgrade Essential and confirm. The upgrade process will start. when finished you will be able to click Close Cydia (Restart)
If you get an error you need to redo the restore and Redsn0w starting at step 4 and be sure to only select Cydia like described in step 9.

Step 17. Once Cydia is closed click the Cydia icon again. When Cydia opens click the Manage tab.

Step 18. Click on Sources.

Step 19. Click on the Edit tab

Step 20. click on the Add tab.

Step 21. Enter http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com and click Add Source. Make sure the o in sn0w is a zero and not the letter o

Step 22. The sources will update and Cydia will reload the data. Once finished click Return to Cydia.

Step 23. Click Done

Step 24. Click the search tab and search for ultrasn0w. When Cydia pulls it up click on it.

Step 25. Click install on ultrasn0w. Click Confirm. Ultrasn0w will install and Cydia will reload the data. When done click return to Cydia. Click the Home button.

Step 26. Power off your Iphone. Insert your favorite sim. Turn on your Iphone and enjoy.

Congratulations you have now Jailbroke and Unlocked your Iphone. The Dev Team suggests turning off 3G for T-Mobile users in the US. To do this go to Settings > General > Network > Enable 3G OFF

I hope this guide helps and is easy to understand. If you have comments or questions please post them here

Files lite: your documents in your pocket!

This is a good news to whom ‘addicted’ with pdf files and most MS office files. Take your documents with you wherever your iPhone or iPod touch goes, view them and transfer them easily to any compatible Mac or PC.
File lite has a storage limit of 200 MB. You can store up to 200 MB of documents on your iPhone, but when you reach this limit you will have to delete existing items to copy over further documents. If you want unrestricted storage then please consider purchasing the full version of Files which has no storage limits. OR install Serversman.
I like this cool app because of simplicity. But be aware for unknown user who can possibly access your iphone docs. Guests can connect without authenticating by appending “Public” to the WebDav URL e.g. http://x.x.x.x:8080/Public/ or http://iphone.local:8080/ address. I recommand to use password to protect from malicious users.

REQUIREMENTS
A Wifi connection is required to connect to Files lite and transfer documents. Once on your iPhone you can read documents anywhere, no network access required. No instruction is needed. As I said, its very simple. Just wrote your iPhone’s IP address on your browser, and viooolaaa…. :)
