Mt Eden Apple iPhone 3GS Repair, Auckland

Sunday, 16-1-2011. Another hot summer day. Just met a client about fixing up his company"s Apple iPhone 3GS and 4G around Mt Eden area in Auckland.
According to that owner,his company suffered heavy lost after using a dodgy Chinaman in Auckland Central. After that idiot touches or "repaired" those iPhones; 85% of the time iPhones were declared dead or "beyond repair" (after he steals the motherboard, what is there to repair!)

HOW TO: Downgrade 06.15.00 Baseband to 05.13 on iPhone 3G (jailbreak, mod, modding, Auckland iPhone Repair Crook)

Do you want to kill off your iPhone yourself? There are heaps of "free professional advice" (yearh, right; like the iPhone repair crook in Auckland Central) and "power tips" on the net. Below is a sample in RED font, please do not use the instruction as it will kill off your iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 in the matter of seconds...Any way, if you do, please contact us to help you!

Most of iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS users updated their baseband to iPad's one which is 06.15.00 to be able to unlock it. It's not possible to restore using stock firmware on iPad's baseband so you can downgrade to baseband 05.13.xx which is unlockable using ultrasn0w and you'll be able also to restore using stock firmware on this baseband.

This method is not official from the iPhone Dev Team. They are still working on an easy-method to downgrade 06.15.00 baseband to lower ones on both iPhone 3G / 3GS. This method works only on iPhone 3G bootloader 5.8. Follow the steps as mentioned on RedmondPie below:

Here's what you will need:

- Jailbroken iPhone 3G

- Fuzzyband installed via Cydiaafc2add installed via Cydia

- i-FunBox (for Windows) or DiskAid (for Mac)

- Certificate to use with Fuzzyband.

And the step by step procedure is as follows:

-Download the required certificate file ICE2-06.15.00.cert from here.

-Install Fuzzyband from Cydia and start this app.

-Connect your iPhone 3G with computer via USB cable.

-Start i-FunBox and click File, then navigate to Applications/Fuzzyband.app, right-click and then select Copy from PC.

-Select the ICE2-06.15.00.cert file you downloaded earlier and then copy it to this location:Applications/Fuzzyband.app.

-Now simply disconnect your iPhone from your computer and start Fuzzyband app (which you previously installed using Cydia) on your iPhone.

-In Fuzzyband, you will now see your current version of Baseband, (which should still be 06.15.00). But now you will have the option to downgrade it to version 05.13.xx.

Once you have downgraded, Go to Settings –> About, and scroll down to check your Baseband which should now read 05.13.xx (which is unlockable via Ultrasn0w). You can now also update or restore any firmware without iTunes throwing errors.

HOW TO: Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 iPhone 4, 3gs, 3g, iPad, iPodTouch (tech news update, Apple, "Auckland Crook")

A client had forwarded the "free instruction" he found on the internet trying to unlock his UK Apple iPhone 4 on Vodafone network. He had bricked it instantly. That is why we alway emphasized that "Let the Pro" do the job. Why kill your own expensive iPhone 4 just to be a bit adventurous or trying to save a few dollar.

Do not be surprise there is a LOSER operating in Auckland Central, using these "free iPhone Unlock" information to experiment on innocent Kiwi victims and even cheated the leading insurance companies in New Zealand. If you are working for an insurance company and believe that your insurance company had been ripoff by iPhone repair crooks in New Zealand, please text or call us at (021) 117-2222 and we see how we can synergize to bring this offender to face some jail time.

Please do not use information below (indicated in RED font, you will likely to kill off your iPhone 4 within minutes):

Few moment ago we broke the news about the release of Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G, iPod touch 4G, 3G and iPad with working MobileSubstrate, as we told you earlier that redsn0w 0.9.6b4 is based on GeoHot's limera1n bootrom exploit.

The bad new is that right now, the redsn0w 0.9.6b4 is a tethered or semi-tethered jailbreak for some devices (i.e. you will lose your jailbreak every time you reboot your iDevice, so you have to follow the following steps every reboot to have a jailbroken device )

Untethered Devices:

iPhone 3GS (old bootrom)

iPhone 3

iPod touch 2G (Non-MC Model)

Tethered Devices:

iPhone 3GS (new bootrom)

iPhone 4

iPad

iPod touch 2G (MC Model)

iPod touch 3G

iPod touch 4G

NOTE: Those of you who rely on a carrier unlock stay away from Redsn0w and iOS 4.2.1.

GUIDE:

- Download redsn0w 0.9.6b4, iOS 4.2.1 for your device(download links at the end).

- Update to 4.2.1 firmware using the IPSW file you just downloaded via iTunes 10.1.

- Select "Install Cydia" and click on "Next"

- Now make sure your device is both OFF and PLUGGED IN to the computer before you click "Next".

- At this stage you will need to put your iPhone in DFU mode by holding "Power" button and then while holding the "Power" button, you will now have to hold "Home" button too. Now after few seconds release "Power" button but keep holding "Home" button until installation begins.

- You will Get a Jailbroken Device on the latest iOS 4.2.1 as soon as the process ends.

- This step is only for these devices iPhone 4, 3GS (New Bootrom), iPod touch 4G, 3G, 2G, iPad. While this is tethered jailbreak and whenever you want to do anything related to jailbreak like SSH your device, or running Cydia, you must first run your device in the so called "jailbroken state" on every reboot by using "Just boot tethered right now" option.

Download iOS 4.2.1 (Final version) for your device version.

Download Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 for Windows and Mac
