iPhone: stacked to mute (a new solution)

This is a known issues… it might happen to you that the iPhone stop speaking to you.

In my case in particular there was no earphone, no speaker, no sounds in the normal call… basically a completely mute phone..

i tried all the “conventional” ways of inserting multiple times the earphones, cleaning the hole with Windex etc… no luck…

So i simply tapp on:

“Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings” 

And automagically the iPhone went back to life and start speaking to me again.. speaker, phone speaker and earphones work like a charm

iPhone OTB 1.1.2 -> 1.1.3 (via iTunes) + Ziphone = Unlocked!

I’ve just tested Ziphone 2.4 on my iPhone 1.1.2 OTB updated to 1.1.3 via iTunes. 

2:30′ of terror and … boom: ERROR: ziphone returned 1.. but everything is working fine…

so i think i will just accept the fact that not all the errors come to harm  Tongue out 

What can i say… thanks Zibri for Ziphone…  

 

UPDATE: i guess something went actually wrong… after 1 day of “wonderful service” the phone is quite screwed… every application (Apple or Third Party) opens but doesn’t receive any input… i can receive call but that’s it… no control a part from that. I’m restoring via iTunes (restore this time) and I’ll try a second run of Ziphone 2.4b (command line) this time.  

 

UPDATE 2: I just succeeded!! Wow… i got my phone back… everything seems to work fine, no weird errors and the phoone work like a charm… that was scary!!  

Confirmed that the unlock is actually working with an italian Vodafone SIM… and the system seems definitely stable. Only Installer sometimes complains to install some of the software (the untrusted ones), but usually after a couple of test is possible to succeed in the install.  

 

           

Ziphone 2.0 is out: 1-click unlock of any iPhone

Here we are, a wonderful GUI-enabled Ziphone 2.0 has been released… it activates, jailbreaks and unlocks any iPhone including 1.1.2 OTB and 1.1.3 OTB both BL 4.6 and BL 3.9. 
 
The process takes less than 5 minutes and require no h4x0r skills at all.
Moreover iClarified create a very complete step-by-step (few and easy) guide to use this program.  
What to say.. thanks Zibri.. and unlock and enjoy! 
 
 
Please note that I’m showing a Mac interface and link to the Mac guide only but the program has been released for both Mac and Windows and people are reporting successes under both platforms.   

Iphone 1.1.3 OTB: one-click unlock

It seems that everyone’s dream is becoming true… ziphone seems to unlock iPhone 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 4.6 OTB in more or less one click… This means from the slide of your credit card to a activated-jailbroken-unlocked phone in matter of few minutes… 
 
As often iClarified provides a fool-proof tutorial guiding you step by step… I suggest waiting a couple of days before testing, let the solution stabilize and someone, more in a hurry than you, to get burned Smile

Iphone 1.1.2 OTB Full Software Unlock: finally!!

It seems that George Hots made it to software unlock Iphone 1.1.2 OTB 4.6 and chances are that this will work for 1.1.3 as well. 
 
here his blog:

 I will personally wait a little, since the guy upgrade a baseband 3.9 to 4.6 and then found the exploit. I want to make sure that a pure native 4.6 works. As soon as the solution prove to be stable i’ll go through it and let yo know. But it seems that the dawn is close… 

 

and as often iClarified make hard things easy with a fool-proof tutorial:

Stupid Gadget: free delivery

I’ve found (thanks to Alessandro Giusti) a very nice website… it is loaded of 
funny stuff (green laser pointers, gadgets, LED lights, Bouncing balls… ) for very
cheap prices and moreover they have FREE-SHIPPING WolrdWide!!! 
I have no idea on how they can survive paying for the shipping of items
of 1,2,5 $ … but that’s it!
I test it a couple of time and they actually deliver… you can pay credit card
or Paypal (better, safer)…  
It is ideal to buy, cables, connectors, adaptors (iPod, PSP, DS…), which are
very expensive if bought from the original producer.
