The iPhone User Guide

  

We love the new Macbook White Keyboard theme for Winterboard. It really is a MASSIVE improvement over the standard keyboard and makes typing a whole lot easier.

Recommended for anyone who has jailbroken their iPhone. In Cydia search for Macbook White Keyboard.

VERDICT: 88%

Yellowsn0w is here!!!

Thanks to the amazing efforts of the iPhone Dev Team, we are pleased to announce that a REAL unlock solution is now available for all iPhone 3G’s called Yellowsn0w.

Contrary to all advice and rumours in the past, this unlock will only work, if you have the LATEST version of the Modem Firmware 02.28.00. So you may need to update your iPhone to the latest software if you are not on the latest version, and then jailbreak it with QuickPwn first. However this is GREAT NEWS because it means EVERYONE can now unlock their iPhone to any network.

Now the games really begin…

• Cydia source: http://apt9.yellowsn0w.com/

*Yes, you will need to already have a jailbroken iPhone, you can jailbreak your iPhone with QuickPwn in literally 5 minutes with no dramas.

Things to note about Yellowsnow from iPhone Dev Team…

• The unlock works exclusively with baseband 02.28.00. This baseband is provided by the latest firmware update (2.2) from Apple. You’ll need to upgrade to this release using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to activate etc. There are plenty of tutorials about this on iclarified, bigboss, and other established tutorial sites. Because it works on 02.28.00, it is available to everyone on the planet. This means we don’t need to unnecessarily expose holes in earlier basebands, which is an important concern.
• The application is a small daemon that is launched on boot. It injects the payload at boot and also whenever there is a baseband reset. You won’t notice anything about it other than that your third-party sim now works. It’s a small program and unobtrusive. There is no GUI (this is by design).
• You can add the application using the sources outlined below (coming soon). There are Cydia and Installer sources available, so use whichever you are comfortable using.
• yellowsn0w is completely removable through Cydia, the command line, and iTunes.

No one is really sure if iPhone Nano is even coming out, but those crafty little copycats seem to be peddling their wares throughout Thailand already. It certainly adds fuel to the iPhone Nano fire though!!!

Gizmodo reports: Why is this useful? It will give you the ability to run full Windows apps in your iPhone over the network. According to Citrix, you will have full Windows capability, including cut and paste inside Windows. And while this is not the first remote screen application available for the iPhone, it is the first one which is actually supported by a big company, which will make corporations happy.

…and here’s the proof you’ve been waiting for… In a few days the official unlock software will be released, so stay tuned.

iPhone Dev Team have successfully unlocked the iPhone 3G.

Target release date is NYE 2008.

Comments on their website:

We have been working hard on a few other things. The main one being the 3G unlock codenamed “yellowsn0w”. This is now completed and is currently being packaged into a user-friendly application with the simplicity that you see in QuickPwn or BootNeuter.

• The target release date for the unlock is New Year’s Eve 2008.
• This unlock method is available to iPhone 3Gs that have 2.11.07 baseband or earlier, we did warn you.
• You can tell what version baseband you have by going to Settings->General->About->Modem Firmware
• The unlock requires a jailbroken 3G iPhone. It’ll be installable via Cydia and so it doesn’t matter if you have a Mac or PC.
• Please refrain from updating your baseband, regardless of what version you’re at. We’ll have complete directions on New Year’s Eve.
• We’ll stream a live demo of the unlock before Christmas
