Is your Apple iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS PAWNED? (Mobile Phone Repair Unlock Tips, ASPA Mobile Phone


This is the low down on our tools for use with the 3.1 firmware from Apple, please read the whole post in full before attempting anything. Because of changes with Apple’s update techniques (that complicate the 3GS upgrade process) this will be a multipart release. This release starts with PwnageTool 3.1 for Mac OS X – this application supports the iPhone 1st Generation (2G), the iPhone 3G and the iPod touch 1G.

NB: THIS DOES NOT SUPPORT THE 3GS OR 2G/3G IPOD TOUCH. redsn0w for Mac OS X and Windows will follow sometime in the near future, please don’t bug us about it – we’ll release when we have something ready.

GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a 3G iPhone with ultrasn0w and rely on ultrasn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should only upgrade to 3.1 with a PwnageTool created .ipsw. – Stay away from Apple’s direct updates as described here and here please get up to speed on the whole subject by reading the information contained in these posts.

If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.1 unlock works with this PwnageTool release. iPhone 3G users upgrading to 3.1 will need to continue using ultrasn0w with a PwnageTool created 3.1 .ipsw

Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.

Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.

At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the 3.1 capable version of PwnageTool.

This app is suitable for the recent 3.1 release.

This version of PwnageTool will NOT work for the iPhone 3GS.

PwnageTool WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), Original iPod touch (1st Generation) and the iPhone 3G.

Baseband 101

The ‘baseband’ is the generic nickname given to the internal components of the iPhone that handle the phone calls and Internet access. This ‘baseband’ is a tiny and unique independent computer system that runs inside your iPhone, it is separate to the main system that handles the applications (such as email and google maps) and it talks to the main part of the phone over an internal communications network. Think of it like a cable modem or other peripheral that is attached to your home PC that needs occasional updates. When a software update is released and presented to you within iTunes the baseband is sometimes updated (to fix bugs or add new features). The 3.1 update for the iPhone 3G contains such an update, so running the vanilla updater straight away with iTunes will reprogram and update the baseband.

SIM Free/SP Unlocked/Factory Unlocked iPhone 3G
This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G for $$$$$$$. This model of iPhone 3G doesn’t have an Service Provider lock (aka factory unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry about baseband updates, simply upgrade to 3.1 using iTunes and then use PwnageTool to create an ipsw and then use this to jailbreak your phone.

iPhone 2G (1st Generation)
Use PwnageTool to do the magic and then restore with iTunes using your newly created .ipsw ‘nuff said, you don’t need to worry about anything, the baseband will be unlocked, the phone jailbroken.

iPod touch 1G (Original iPod Touch)
Use PwnageTool to create a firmware image and restore with that .ipsw using iTunes.

iPod touch 2G
Sorry, no support at this time within PwnageTool, use Redsn0w for an earlier (pre 3.1) firmware release instead.

iPod touch 3G (New iPod Touch)
Sorry, no support at this time within PwnageTool

iPhone TIPS: OMG 1st IP Firewall for iPhone coming (Jailbreak), tech, news, Apple, 3GS, review, reports

Q: What is it
A: Probably the first ever firewall for the Apple iPhone.

Q: Do I need it?
A: Maybe, especially you id you have jailbroken your iPhone, enabled SSH server (don't forget to change the default password!), HTTP server or other server where people can try access your iPhone from the internet without your notice.

Q: How does it work?
A: Read this blog , basically two steps:

Step 1
When using a network-enabled application a prompt will be displayed giving you control over what hosts the application can connect to. As you can see the options are self explanatory:
- Allow once
- Deny once
- Always allow!
- Always deny!
- Allow all for this App
- Deny all for this App

A prompt will be display for each host, so the "Allow all" & "Deny all" options make it much easier if you are sure the iPhone app is well behaved.

Step 2
The second part of the Firewall application is a rules editor, here you can manage and edit any rules you may have added for any iPhone application.

Once you have selected an application, you will be able to drill down and configure the individual allow or deny rules."

Q: Releases?
A: Don't know actually ;) The blog suggests to follow or contact _Yllier_ on twitter.**Looking for an scratch proof iPhone 3G case?

Standard track based racing game, but has the best graphics on an iPhone game to-date. Worth it alone to see what the iPhone is capable of.

Sims 3
Slightly watered down Sims 3, but still an excellent version on the go. Fantastic graphics and runs well.

Create a fighter and compete in daily arena matches. Very simplistic, but highly addicting and will bring you back daily.

Advanced Wars for your iPhone and iPod Touch, enough said. Interesting art style and background story.

The first fully featured traditional 2D action RPG for your iPhone and iPod Touch.


The time sucking, simple Pachinko style casual PC game from PopCap ported to your device.


Another PC game port where you roll your marble through various levels, filled with obstacles and hazards.  http://www.appvee.com/t/iphone-app-review-marble-blast-mobile

Myst  Do we even need to explain this one?

An original IP based around two dueling wizards, battling for control across a 2D side-scrolling field. Interesting game mechanic based on spells and timing.

A smaller version of Assassin’s Creed on your iPhone and iPod Touch. Plays rather smoothly and provides solid entertainment.

Oregon Trail
The classic Oregon Trail, updated with fantastic graphics and animation. Will keep you entertained just like when you were in school. Try not to die of dysentery.

Rolando 2
The sequel to the popular game of rolling little Rolandos around to save the kingdom. Your hands may cramp from hours of play.
