A proof of concept showing how Apple iPhone can lead the bunch :
Apple buys installer.app for $1 million, we all donate a dollar each to cough up a million dollars to make the deal 😉 (Installer.app team shares the revenue with other iPhone native-app developers).
Come on, Apple created the best phone ever – alright but could Apple have at least imagined that an app like installer.app can be used to push applications on to the iPhone Linux style? Apple is learning already, how would they ever know about a TIFF …

Unlocking the iPhones – Who are the real losers? AT&T/Cingular or Apple? Both!!

1.1.1, apple, INdependence, iphone, Jailbreak Online, unlock »

[4 Nov 2007 | One Comment | ]

It cannot get any easier. All we need is activating the iPhone using INdependence for Mac or iDemocracy for Windows and then proceed towards hacking and unlocking the iPhone!!
Once you activate your iPhone using INdependence, proceed to Online Jailbreak/Installer.app. We did not unlock the iPhone yet. Now, type in the following URL in your Mobile Safari http://iphone.blurgle.ca/repo. There you go. You have activated, hacked and unlocked your iPhone with the fewest hassles ever 😉 Now stop spending $5o on unlockers and donate few dollars to the iPhone dev team …

A very small review of iPhone Component cable. Firstly, I got it shipped in less than 1.5 days from China (probably bcos’ of time differences!). I ordered Mighty Mouse at the same time and I recieved after 4 days from California!!
My first complaint with the AV Cable – The smooth end points (plugs). They suck. I had a tough time unplugging them. Just imagine if you have to remove and insert all 5 cables (3 Video, 2 Audio). Yeah, they showed the same smooth plugs in ads but I never …

Britney Spears, free, itunes »

Britney’s latest album is not so boring this time around. I really liked the previews and wanted to buy the album. So how do you get the entire album including a video and a digital album for almost negligible amount?
1) Sign up or login to Facebook.com
2) Search for Ticketmaster live on the left side search box.
3) Join the group and redeem the 5 free songs coupon.
4) Download each individual song either on your iPhone iTunes or your mac/pc.
5) Now, how do you get the entire album? Create a new email …

Yeah, you heard it right!! No more command line hacking or INdependence usage if you want to jailbreak your iPhone. AppSnapp is a mobile-safari tool which lets you Jailbreak your iPhone / iPod Touch and even installs the installer.app application! They even patch the Tiff Exploit which Apple couldn’t yet close! Here you go – Jailbreakme.com 🙂 (I tested it myself, no bricking or any issues with this first ever online hacking utility for the iPhone!) . What next after you Jailbreak using this technique? You get the dashing installer.app …

The word is out! We can now fully upgrade to 1.1.1 even though we corrupted our baseband firmware by using anySIM or iUnlock. iPhone Elite team released the Revirginize tool – a one step virginize script which saves you from a lengthy hack 😉 You have the option to backup your NOR and virginize your iPhone thereby claiming your lost iPhone Warranties, not to mention the corrupt IMEIs.

1.1.1, apple, apptapp, installer.app, iphone »

[15 Oct 2007 | 23 Comments | ]

My previous post demonstrated the ability to partially unlock iPhone 1.1.1 for Cingular (non-iphone sims). Since AppTapp doesn’t have a version for the latest 1.1.1 firmware, I was looking for some answers on the internet and TechDadBlog came to my rescue again!
I then quickly followed iPhoneAlley’s post but I had problems at Step 7. I get a “Safari cannot download the file” error. I tried rebooting the iPhone at this point and then step 7 worked just fine.
I had a second issue in locating Trip1PogoStick though Safari spat no error …

Yes, the word is out. Though it was practically possible as soon as Jailbreak for 1.1.1 was announced but it took me many hours of tweaking (more than 18) but couldn’t get my Cingular sim back at work (without the 2 year contract). I searched all over the internet but none were reporting positively about 1.1.1 Jailbreak let alone Cingular working on it. This post at TechDadBlog initiated hope after clueless searches on Google for 1.1.1 hack. Vaughan and Mike did a great job on trying different alternatives. Finally, with …
