iPhone unlock and more….

And, for the moment, it cannot be activated anymore! Translation: don’t update.

By the way: also tell your friends in the US not to bring back phones anymore. Wait and see!

It happened! The 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 OTB firmware with bootloader 4.6 have been cracked.

Following a bit of a hardcore method, theses phones can now be fully unlocked!

Stay tuned and allow me some time to test it this week-end!

For the moment, until I write a nice little tutorial, more info can be found here.

How cool is that? With “Listen”, the guys at Erica Sadun have developped a very cool application: recognize the music you’re hearing with your iPhone.

Launch the Listen application, it will sample the music that the iPhone’s mic is hearing and will compare it to a music database to give you back the result.

The application is available from “Installer” on your iPhone or via download from EricaSadun .

Caution: it is very early beta… and it uses network bandwidth… (I don’t know how much…) Users from Switzerland (that means: with cracked iPhones), make sure you are on WiFi… Edge is still very expensive with the Swiss GSM providers…

This time, it’s here!

Edit: careful guys… Swirlyspace has not updated the application to work on firmware 1.1.3 and above. So it won’t work on these versions! I’m sure an updated version exists.. but they wait to sell it soon on iTunes

Finally The guys at Swirlyspace have released the first MMS application for the iPhone. It’s called SwirlyMMS and the current version (0.2) works on Swiss networks! Currently, it allows you only to send MMS but they promise an update version for January 08 which should let you receive them as well.

To install it, simply download it in “Installer” (under “Network”) and configure it using the settings below.

If anybody has the settings for Tele2, Orangeclick and the other Swiss MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators = Operators that do not have their own network but rent one from a “real operator”), please post a comment!

I have tested it on 1.1.1 only for the moment. Please report if it works on 1.1.2 !
