iphone software 2.2 beta seeded. codename Timberline.

@ texazpete-i'm so screwed i upgraded my iphone to firmware 2.0.2 and after a few days it has gone into safe mode i restored with the same firmware and quickpwned but no change and it does not respond to any touch screen functionI(has this happened to anyone else??) please help me asap

Not sure what i can do from here, but it's worth a shot to upgrade to 2.1 and quickpwn, just in case it's a software issue.

Ex Inferis may be able to give better advice. . .

My sisters are flying into rages

They tried installing apps and their fones shut down

talk about killer apps eh!

What could the frovlem be?

Sho, Gamine are you making fun of me and Ex roots ? Wallahi, zere is going su be babban case to answer ?

P.S. You guys still havent finished convincing me to get the iphone 3G. Wont it be better to get the 32GB ipod touch and then get an Nseries Nokia phone ?

simply get the iphone 3g and get a sim adapter with it (i can vouch for iphone sim freer).

since when did you start calling me Ex Inferis? im Neoteny to you, Neo for short.

im not entirely clear what Redneck, er Recknass, means "safe mode". is it recovery mode? in any case ive had my phone pack up a dozen times mostly hanging at the boot logo and once dropping down to Marvell and staying stuck at shell. in all cases a restore resurrected the phone but you have to manually go into Recovery mode (theres something called Partial Recovery Mode which often generates Error 13).

if you do get into recovery mode just restore to 2.1. if it wont (popping errors) then try going down to 2.0, then up to 2.1.

ive observed that most restore issues are easily solved by going down to a previous firmware and then moving up.

ps: dont pwn your phone with Quickpwn: sometimes it causes iboot to give issues. use winwn 2.0.3 instead, it does a better job.

i should know, ive had hangups as often as twice a week.


hope this helps you.

do you really need to be convinced?

anyway, iphone makes more effizy than the ipod touch. you have countless reasons to whip out your phone and reduce the onlookers to pathetic babbling bags of envy than you have flashing the ipod.

was in the bus the other day, this chick by my side kept fiddling with her N82, i whipped out my iphone samurai-style, made as if i was typing a text and she was slobbering all over me. the thing was awash with apps and bedecked in winterboard themes.

besides you save money buying only one device that does so much rather than shelling for both Nseries and ipod touch.

saw iphone 3G in kaduna with the Sim Freer dongle, price 127,000 naira.

@logica

i checked the site, saw that they require pay pal. my master card is out, how did you get your sim adapter?

it gets even better:

@ex
paypal. using form submitted in the US of course, and delivery to a US address. of course paypal doesn't have support for nigeria.

Ex, Dome kake zagi na?

@ Ex Inferis

Wallahi, this guy is making me green with envy Thank you very much for the info. I knew you wouldnt let me down. I am now ready to get the 16GB Iphone 3G. But as i earlier said, i would rather buy the phone from a place where it is originally unlocked by Apple itself. Cost will also be cheaper and i wont need to to do any serious modding or jailbreaking. Dont forget, zanzo gurin ka for my budan kai.

Ina sonki. Zaki aure ni

Samir!

@gamine

dama kina jin hausa? kin san ina son ki ko? ke nawa ne.

@samir
keep your pale blue butt in your kazaure/katagum/wherever as long as you wanna be hitting on my girl. which budan kai? you getting hitched? who's the poor unlucky girl. will be back in kaduna suposedly soon, hols over. dang!

@Logica

do you get the 3G signal issues I'm reading about all over blogdom? is it an AT&T thing? and how much did the total package cost you, since i don't think you bought the phone on contract.

or did you?

it was actually bought on a contract. i haven't taken note of any 3g problems. the phone isn't mine (belongs 2 an uncle who brought it 2 me 2 help unlock). i plan 2 get mine in a few weeks (options are switzerland and hong-kong).

Time to sleep.

@ ex inferis

matter of fact, i think the 3g signal issue was a 2.0.1 issue (just saw some threads about it). i upgraded the firmware to 2.0.2 before the jb/unlock, so that may explain why i didn't c any such problems.

My Hausa is very Rusty, Dont know the hausa word of rusty

Gamine:

the literal equivalent of rusty is tsa-tsa (if you an proniunce it), but its not directly applicable in the context you mean.

incidentally, where is paiko?


@logica

ive seen the pricetags in both countries you mention and, this is just me, but i dont thing GPS and 3G are justifiable counterweights to the hefty price of over $600. location-aware apps are all fine and good but i cant find maps for naija, and Google Maps doesnt offer much Points of Interests to bolster these apps.

ive tried Gmaps with the GPS in both N95 (which has a weak receiver) and the N82 (superb). besides very few landmarks there really arent POIs to make it interesting and i cant find free 3rd party maps to satisfy me.

bottomline; im hanging on to the iphone 1st gen until the 2nd gen comes down in price.

afterall, apps for one work just as well in the other.

Paiko is in Niger

Im not dia ryt now sha, i just like the name.

I'm leaving KD by saturday--'hols over dang!'. Went to Micromanna with the intention of checking out an apple for my younger brother but he got carried away by a cheap Compaq with fair enough specs. For 88k I think I'll leave him alone!

lol

compaq? thought it died at the hands of HP?

Micromanna, chima's place. he too is a HP addict, one of the very first to tell people NOT to buy a Mac.

he ought to be shot, or boiled in hot cooking oil or dropped in a vat of acid.

hey Vesc, coming in sunday. how many ways can you think of to kill off a man?

Finaly i have wikipedia on my itouch. MTN suffered 4 the 4GB wiki dump . When i take screen shots, what folder do i go to through ssh to copy them?

hancock:

It's in the private/var/mobile/media/DCIM folder
Specifically the 999Apple folder
I assume you're on 2.x firmware?

yep im on firmware 2.0. Thanks 4 d info (wink)

Yeah, Chima's place. When I asked his workers of Apple they acted incredulous so I assumed they were unaware apple made anything apart from iphones. My brother asked another how much a 4GB ipod goes for and he replied that they didn't have 4GB but 8GB which was worth 60k. I didn't get it but my brother promptly informed me that he was confusing the ipod for the iphone. They're still the best place for IT stuff I know in KD.

I moved on to bad old Multimedia and asked for the Macbook and the foolish guy asked me if I knew what I was talking about and how the lappie was a special one. Since I'm incredibly polite I replied that, yes I knew what it was and does he have it. To that question he said no. Do you know how much it is. No again. My brother could not smother a hiss. I remember those guys selling Gameboys at incredibly ostentatious prices when no one had a choice. I still got a bit of bad belle for them.

As for how many ways to kill a man, here are a few

Electrocution
Drowning
Suffocation
A bullet to the head or heart
Beheading
Incineration
Disembowelment
Hanging
Poisoning

Those are the ones I can recall at a moment's notice. Some are the same things said with different words

@texazzpete does ur wiki search results display images? Mine dont.

@hancock

the images come as separate downloadble resources, very hefty.

@vesc

i remember when Oga Tony was once a smalltime Amiga dealer in the defunct UTC before moving to Fina White House.

we made his broke-a5ss rich.

braining
stabbing
stampeding

HEFTY?? (faint).are they up to 2GB? lol im running low on memory already.oh well i guess i can do withou it 4 now

You must be suicidal then for my posts are highly radioactive. So much so that Geiger counters voice out.

heh. More like 8 GB for the images, i think. maybe more.

howzat the n95?

two friends of mine got the iphone 3G (both 16gigs, one black the other white, all cost over 400 pounds with serious negotiations at the store in london before they were sold without contract). i tried the GPS thingy wit Gmaps to drop a pin on my location but seems the GPS receiver has trouble indoors. i tip my proverbial hat to the nokia N82 for the sensitivity of its GPS receiver. it works deep inside my house and im sure that thing will work 50 feet inside a bunker.

nonetheless the phone is sexy but not that much a far cry from the 1st gen iphone, and the plastic back gives me the creeps, that thing looks near about ready to crack.

like i said before, i dont feel overwhelmingly persuaded by what i see to fork out that much money. when the price comes down, im game.

Hey guys I want to find out how Iphone users in Nigeria are faring with regards to unlocking and upgrade to the 2.0 firmware.
