Iphone Jailbreak and Activation

Determine whether your Iphone is a 1G, 2G or 3G. Firmware is also quite important. Jailbreak on Mac, Windows other OS(Operational System). Different OS needs different software to jailbreak.

Now, after you have restored your Iphone, it should be locked and not active. Unless you have a legal SIM card from either Maxis or Celcom. Digi users, you have no choice except to jailbreak. Digi have not offer any Iphone compatible SIM yet. Even the ones from Maxis and Celcom are both having expensive plans.

For 1G Iphone, on any OS.
- Get redsn0w 0.8 from this site. (http://www.quickpwn.com/redsn0w)
- Download the redsn0w 0.8 and download your desired firmware for your Iphone too. (Latest from Apple Inc. is the 3.0.1 and it can run on any Iphone. 1G, 2G or even 3G)
- However, Dev-Team has not developed the software for the latest version. Only till 3.0. So download this file. _Beware of your Iphone type!!_ For a 2G cant use 3G 3.0 version!!
- Link for download (http://www.quickpwn.com/2009/08/jailbreak-iphone-301.html) This link also provide many useful information.
- Read the link page i provided above. All the steps you need to know is above.

The same thing goes for 2G and 3G Iphone.

Things to be aware:
-Tip: Jailbreaking Iphone of same firmware is easier.(If Iphone is 2.0 jailbreak 2.0, not 3.0 its harder) If you want to, upgrade it 1st with Itunes.

- Backup phone in Itunes on com 1st.

- Itunes must be at least V 8.0 or above.

-Get the right firmware!! 1G, 2G and 3G!!

-To downgrade, download the firmware, and in Itunes Hold "Shift" and click restore at same time. Then you can select which firmware you want to restore with.( If not will update to latest only)

- If redsn0w goes to the screen where it says "waiting for reboot" you can quickly disconnect and reconnect the Iphone cable(not tested,internet source. I did not need to do this step)

- If you have did so the step above but it still did not reboot, it might be you have mistaken your Iphone type(1G,2G & 3G) Your supplier may have lied to you for it is really quite simmilar in physical looks.

-Remember to tickbox the Cydia or Icy App and "Unlock"(for 2G Iphone) for other Iphone, See (http://www.quickpwn.com/2009/07/jailbreak-and-unlock-iphone-301.html)

- If Jailbreak fail, Iphone will be dead. But its not. Hold power button(top) and home button(bottom) for 30 sec and it will turn on again.

- Follow the steps to enter DFU mode.

- When you have succeed in entering DFU mode, your phone should

REBOOT(white screen), then

Black Screen(Loading), then

Hardrive picture with words saying "Downloading Jailbreak", then

Pineapple icon with legs running loading page.



If you have reach this step then all should be smooth. If you find any difficulties, just google your way thru. Unless you want to pay RM150 for it at Sg Wang.



-Special THANKS!-
to Dev-Team who hacked Iphone making Jailbreak and Activation a success!!
I LOVE yoU GUYS!!

How to fix your Sony Ericsson W550i

Now this is gonna be the way.

1ST: Identify if this is your problem 1st. Then only this solution will work for you.

- Unplugged phone cable without using the safely remove procedure after sync with com.
- Screen goes blank and phone does not return to startup screen where you select phone or music only mode.
- Reconnecting phone but it still does not connect to computer as a recognizable device.

If all is so then lets start. What we are gonna do is update the phone fireware. This is a possible solution.

2nd: You need to download a few stuff.

- Visit the Sony Ericsson webpage.
- Go to the support page on the main page
- Set your phone model
- After that, on the left side of the page, select "Software Downloads"
- At "update your product service" click read more and download
- Read the information and download the Update Software.

Sony Ericsson Update Service will guide you through the rest of the procedure.

Believe In YourseLF...

In this world, the 1st person you have to believe is YOURSELF. If you don't believe yourself, you will not believe in others either. Trust yourself, your instinct, your judgement, your confidence.(Except, if you really can't make right choices well yet.)

Believe in yourself in the possible. Don't believe in flying without wings of course!!

Believing in yourself is very rewarding. Espeacially when there are those who doubt you and discourage you so. When you succeed in what you believe in, you prove them wrong "Right in the Face". That feeling, is undescribable, the sense of towering trumph, the sweet honey taste of victory in proving yourself right.

Just like what i suceed in proving. TwiCE. In fixing both my phone myself. For your info, i own a 2G Iphone V 3.0 and a Sony Ericsson W550i. My w550i jamed twice in history. Once when i just bought it not long ago under one year waranty. It appears that the problem is called the W.S.D (White Screen of Death), where one fails to disconnect the phone from the computer before pulling the cable off. Resulting in the phone program crash.

It was stuck in that state for months. I din't have the kind of cash to fix it so i left it to be using my other phone. (Store price i bought from quoted me a price of RM140 to fix it.) Silly fella thought i was a stupid enough noob lying to me that the I.C(Intergrated Circuit=motherboard) is spoilt. Dude, you think im a dumb? My phone still works as the screen still lights up. Just that its a white blank. I could even charge it. Then again, it only have white screen thou. Its obvious to me it was a software problem and not a hardware one.

So, i googled the answer away on the net. Trust me, it ain't easy. Many misleading ways too! But in the end i suceed in fixing it(Problem solving on next post).

Just the same too with jailbreaking my 2G Iphone. I search the net for weeks, tried many methods, and fail. My lady even throwed in a white towel saying that i can't do it. Her mum and her mum's friend both tried and got their data in their Iphone erased instead. She called me to take it to Sg Wang instead to get it done for RM150. No kidding!! So expensive!

No way im gonna do that i told myself. I believe if they can fix my W550i in a day, if they can Jailbreak my Iphone in 30 minutes, I CAN TOO!! Why not? I just need the tools,the steps and the determination. So do you! Trust yourself!

Walla! I jailbreaked my Iphone(Jailbreaking on next post too!). Now who dare says i or you can't do something huh? If someone can, by hook or by crook, YOU caN!

Remember, YOu rocK!

You ROCK!!

YOU R-O-C-K !!!!!!!

1 Malaysia Spirit worth Reading..



Lisa Shufiyan, 24
Conservationist
(Tunku Abdul Rahman’s great granddaughter)

“Both my parents are Malay. My mum’s heritage includes Chinese, Thai and Arab, while my dad is Minangkabau. Due to my skin colour, I am often mistaken for a Chinese.

“I’m happy that I don’t have the typical Malay look but I do get annoyed when people call me Ah Moi or ask me straight up: “Are you Chinese or Malay?”

“Like, why does it matter? Before I used to answer ‘Malay’, but now I’m trying to consciously answer ‘Malaysian’ instead.

“There’s this incident from primary school that I remember till today. Someone told me that I will be called last during Judgement Day because I don’t have a Muslim name. Of course, I was scared then but now that I’m older, I realise that a name is just a name. It doesn’t define you as a good or bad person and there is definitely no such thing as a ‘Muslim’ name. You can be named Rashid and still be a Christian.

“I’ve heard of the 1Malaysia concept, but I think we don’t need to be told to be united. We’ve come such a long way that it should already be embedded in our hearts and minds that we are united. Unfortunately, you can still see racial discrimination and polarisation. There is still this ethno-centric view that the Malays are the dominant group and their rights must be protected, and non-Malays are forever the outsiders.

“For the concept to succeed, I think the Government should stop with the race politics. It’s tiring, really. We grew up with application forms asking us to tick our race. We should stop painting a negative image of the other races, stop thinking about ‘us’ and ‘them’ and focus on ‘we’, ‘our’ and ‘Malaysians’.

“No one should be made uncomfortable in their own home. A dear Chinese friend of mine said to me once: ‘I don’t feel patriotic because I am not made to feel like Malaysia is my home, and I don’t feel an affinity to China because I have never lived there’.

“I know some Baba Nyonya friends who can trace their lineage back hundreds of years. I’m a fourth generation Malaysian. If I am bumiputra, why can’t they be, too? Clearly I have issues with the term.

“I think the main reason why we still can’t achieve total unity is because of this ‘Malay Rights’ concept. I’d rather ‘Malay Rights’ be replaced by human rights. So unless we get rid of this bumiputra status, or reform our views and policies on rights, we will never achieve unity.

“For my Merdeka wish, I’d like for Malaysians to have more voice, to be respected and heard. I wish that the Government would uphold the true essence of parliamentary democracy. I wish for the people to no longer fear and discriminate against each other, to see that we are one and the same.

“I wish that Malaysia would truly live up to the tourism spin of ‘Malaysia Truly Asia’.-The Star,29th August 2009
