What's up? Nothing's up.
There isn't much of an update today. (I did see an updated SimFree 1.7 by iPhoneSIMFree, but that's not free. Just stick with AnySIM 1.1.) In fact, with the release of AppSnapp, many of the utilities were made obsolete. However, some unlockers still prefer the manual jailbreak programs like CARNAVAL. To each his own, I guess.Of course, this doesn't mean this post is simply about a lack of updates. :) But if you don't see an iPhone post in the future, it means I didn't see anything worth posting about.
AppSnapp Pictorial and Video Guide
Hack the iPhone has updated his guide to use AppSnapp for jailbreaking. It's chock full of pictures and a YouTube video showing the entire procedure is thrown in as well for good measure.Check out the guide here.
Edit: I've just realized that the guide at Hack the iPhone would only help you to jailbreak the iPhone using AppSnapp. Unlocking steps are only available for Macs (this is step 3 for Macs aka unlocking steps).
Step 2 of Unlock 1.1.1 using Jailbreakme @ Hackint0sh should fill that void. Step 2 in this unlocking guide only requires your iPhone, so it doesn't matter if you're running Windows/Mac.
iPhone Jailbreaking Trivia. Did you know?
In many of the guides available, you'll be asked to enterprefs://1F
as a bookmark or home page on your iPhone. Have you ever wondered what 1F stood for?
It actually stands for nothing. :) 1F is not required at all. 1F was simply to indicate that preffs:// is a misspelling (note the 2 'f's). Entering
prefs://
will bring you to your settings page just fine. :)
