Jailbreak and unlock iPhone 3.1.2

jaquan12 — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:02:41 +0000

Today the iPhone 3.1.2 update was released to iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPod Touch usres. This update includes mainly bug fixes. If you would like to jailbreak or unlock your device, you must read this. If you have an unlocked iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS do not update to this new firmware, updating to the iPhone 3.1.2 firmware will permanently update your baseband. The newer baseband does not support software unlocking.

The jailbreak has not been released yet, but you if you’ve got too much time on your hands you may be able to jailbreak if you try the following. If this works please share your results in the comments.
How to Jailbreak iPhone 3.1.2Jailbreak and unlock iPhone 3.1

1. Update to iPhone 3.1.2. After updating, find your iPhone 3.1.2 IPSW file or download it using any of the links below. Remember, don’t use Safari to download. Safari can’t download .IPSW files properly, use a different browser!

* iPhone 3.1.2 download (iPhone1,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw, 241 MB)
* iPhone 3G 3.1.2 download (iPhone1,2_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw, 242 MB)
* iPhone 3GS 3.1 download (iPhone2,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw, 306 MB)

2. Download redsn0w.

3. Follow the jailbreaking guide at the Jailbreak iPhone 3.1 post.
Unlock iPhone 3.1.2

It’s possible to unlock iPhone 3.1.2 but only if your baseband has not been updated to 05.11.07 or the newer baseband, you must create a custom firmware that uses the 04.26.08 baseband. The iPhone 3.1.2 update updates the baseband to a newer one that permanently blocks the software unlock. A guide on how to unlock iPhone 3.1.2 will be up once a jailbreak tool is released.

iPhone 3.1.2: Carrier update

jaquan12 — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:49:54 +0000

The recently released iPhone 2.1.2 update also includes a carrier update for AT&T iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS users. The carrier is updated to AT&T 5.6. The baseband/modem firmware for the iPhone 3.1.2 update still remains at 05.11.07 (which currenty cannot be unlocked).

How to update iPhone 3.1.2 carrier settings

1. Download and install the iPhone 3.1.2 firmware to your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS.

2. Once the iPhone 3.1.2 firmware is installed,iTunes will display a message saying: “An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?“. Click Download and Update.

3. Once you’ve clicked the download and update button, iTunes will automatically update your carrier settings and display the following message: “Your iPhone carrier settings were updated successfully“. That’s it, you’re done!

I’m not sure what is included in these new carrier settings. Last time Apple issued the carrier settings to enable MMS on AT&T, maybe these carrier settings will enable VoIP over 3G, now that AT&T is allowing Skype to use 3G. What do you think?

iPhone MMS is coming to AT&T today on iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS 3.1

jaquan12 — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 16:04:00 +0000

AT&T promised that they will bring iPhone MMS to the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS today. They have not announced any specific time, but they have said that it will be at late morning, Pacific time.

Many people are looking forward to the launch of MMS. I’ve searched on Twitter and there are a lot of tweets that people are posting about iPhone MMS. It’s amazing how so many people are looking forward to this service. Of course, MMS is FREE.

iTunes 9.0.1

To prepare for the iPhone MMS update, download iTunes 9.0.1 and make sure your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS is using iPhone 3.1 firmware. The iPhone 2G or 1 G will not get an MMS update! If you still cannot wait for AT&T to release the update, you can enable MMS on iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS 3.1 with a hack, but it may or may not work. Do you think AT&T will be able to handle the iPhone MMS traffic today? Will you be using MMS a lot on your iPhone? Let us know in the comments.
