@sanchits
look out to iClarified - Apple News and Tutorials for most of your doubts.
and if u want links to cracked ipa files , then PM me , coz i think warez links are not allowed to be posted on the forum itself.

BTW , im also on FW 2.1 , it isnt all that great except for faster backups, leaving that 2.0 was better in my opinion.

Inferno, iclarified is the best bet on this. And i agree with you on the 2.1, Infact I was 1.4.1 and loved it. I think on 2.1 there seems to be a better Batt maintain, and also the number of Hangs have also come down.

guys, i checked out the india itunes page a tried creating the a/c again, but there is no option as 'none', it has only 3 options visa, mastercard and amex. before too i did change the country to india. also even if you want to create any international a/c such as USA or UK, there is no option as "none", but there is trick to get the "none" option through the "redeem code" option but this is not valid for the india a/c. i dont know how did you guys create an india a/c. i have itunes 8 installed.
have all of you jailbreaked the iphone or some still on the non-jailbreak phones.
after jailbreaking does the phone become slow or starts crashing or evrything runs fine.

Hey Guys,

Do any of you know if there is a dedicated i-phone service centre in Bangalore?

Cheers !

I used these instructions a while back and got an itunes account without giving cc details.

Get your own special code

The tunecore site is no longer giving the codes required anymore so you may have to google for a working solution.

Apple has service center and i think you can go there, any specific issue you are facing? Is the phone unlocked/jailbroken? Hardware or Software issues?

Guys, I upgraded to 2.1 and I think i have better Batt life and lesser Hangs. But the machine is slowed down a lot. response time for opening imp apps like SMS is more than 3-5 sec now

Any suggestions - I uninstalled winterboard but nothing changed.
I dumped unnecessary apps - nothing still.

HELP

Hello Anybody Home? I'm looking for help to fix my iphone. infact i found out today that my safari crashes when i'm doing my most imp work!

It's goes to the home page or opening screen and behaves like nothing happened aaaaaahhhhhhhh!! grrrrrrrr!
Some help! cant you hear me cry

srijit · 20th October 2008, 19:21

Did you try a re-install of firmware ver 2.1? Safari crashes can also happen on a site loaded with pictures. A Gizmodo link repeatedly crashed for me, but other links on that website worked fine.

yogi1771 · 20th October 2008, 19:24

Yeah 2.1 firmware is crap think it is more suited for the 3g phones,for 2g phones i think the best was 1.1.4 firmware.

So you are suggesting a downgrade? or can some tweaking help in fine tuning 2.1??

srijit · 21st October 2008, 10:42

Well how did you install ver 2.1 in the first place?
Use the same procedure in iTunes to install 2.1 again, hence re-install

You can find guides at iClarified.com like
iClarified - iPhone - How to Unlock/Jailbreak Your 2.0 2G iPhone (Windows) [Updated]
and
iClarified - iPhone - How to Unlock/Jailbreak Your 2.x.x 2G iPhone (Mac) [Updated]

srijit, i used iclarified and upgraded. Hope that the reinstall will solve the problem. if not it'll be a downgrade.

iPhone Dev team have managed to hack into the baseband of the new phones. Next step unlock?

I doubt this would be useful to anyone other than international travellers.
