so what was suppose to be different on the 1.1.1? other then the itune store and the speaker seems a little louder ~ there ain't much difference

Bug fixes and the new pop-up-a-music-panel by double-tapping the home button. I think you can set what double-tapping it does too.

a more detailed guide to this would be nice :p

Ooo...where can you find a OEM black backplate?

Is there a full black kit? I hate the chrome trim.

+Kardboard+ 10-22-2007 06:00 PM

You can get a full black one either by adding a black case or getting ColorWare to paint the whole thing.

The non-OEM grey and black back plates can be found at http://cnn.cn/

hey +kardboard+, where did you get ur LCD protective film? any local stores here you recommend? I don't want to wait for a plastic film to ship over.. rahter spend a bit more to buy it instore instead....

+Kardboard+ 10-22-2007 06:28 PM

I don't do much local shopping for stuff like this, so I got no recommendations :(

I got my cover off of eBay, some anti-fingerprint thing. I don't have the link now, but search for "iphone anti fingerprint" and you'll probably find it. It's advertised as a multi-layered, Japanese thing. It's damn fine too...heh

1) turn ur iphone on and connect to your computer. hold the on/off button + home button til the screen turns off by itself. then release the on/off button only until itune detects the phone in recovery mode.

2) itune will say your phone is in recovery mode and need to restore. so hold down shift and then click restore. browse to the file iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore.ipsw (i'm assuming you have that file since you have downgraded from 1.1.1).

3) after the phone finish restoring. run apptapp installer. select fw 1.0.2. when it is finish. run PACAY on it. it'll ask you to reset when you are done. and after that your phone should be activated but not yet unlocked.

4) jailbreak your phone with ibrickr and install the unlock program of your choice ~ iunlock or anysim or whatever you like ~ i used iunlock coz it didn't change my imei ~

5) remove the unlock application (optional)

6) enjoy ~

shouldn't take more then 15mins to do.

pm me if u can't get it to work ~

btw there's a different version of the touchfree that fixes the problem you got when it freezes in step 2 if you want to upgrade to fw1.1.1~

pm me if u need help ~

i can send you the files i used over msn if u want to add me ~

terkan 10-22-2007 11:41 PM

lol basically the steps are the same except use independence ~ lol when i upgraded mine to 1.1.1 i used hybrid ~ half mac half window lol

+Kardboard+ 10-23-2007 01:19 PM

Here's a nice re-virginizing tool that I'm using right now. Worked for me, and I'm currently updating to 1.1.1 :D:D

I didn't say it sucks.. i am just saying i am not looking for a screen protector that is a wrap around type or super glossy..


I found a few iphone lcd screens at i think is called central mall in Richmond.. it was 15 dollars and is similar to the regular cell phone types found in Japan

bossxx 10-23-2007 03:11 PM

I want all chrome!! haha not available lol

What kind of case should I get for my iPhone?

I like rubber cases (I have one for my nano) but the only thing I hate about it, is that its a bitch to clean and it doesn't slide easily into your pocket.

I have a plastic case for the nano too and it doesnt even fit right.. its a cheap piece of shit.

I think I want a leather case with belt clip holster.

i bought the hardcase, the same as +kardboard+ red case.. pretty good price at under 13 dollars after shipping..

they do have the leather holister ones.. but i find that too old school..

+Kardboard+ 10-23-2007 04:05 PM

Did you just answer your own question, redline? :p

Oh man, upgrading to 1.1.1 is a pain and a half. I've spent all morning on this and I'm still not quite done!

1) Started with an unlocked 1.0.2
2) Re-virginized it
3) Activated and jailbroke it then did pre-1.1.1 update stuff
4) Updated to 1.1.1
5) Unlocked it using anySIM 1.1...works!
6) Restarted iPhone, but it goes into Restore Mode!!!

Now I'm trying to do it again...there was a whole whack of mistakes and annoyances up there that I didn't list...hahah Hopefully it'll work soon. Now I'm downgrading to 1.0.2 again and repeating the steps...hahah

All done on a Mac, by the way.

I don't like the hard cases because they have openings and usually the phone has some room to move around in the case. If a piece of dirt/sand/rock etc gets inside the case then it'll suck because it could potentially leave a nice scratch mark on your phone
