Umm i dunno if you are spammin or trying to help us, but none of those IPCC's are going to help us? We are on South African networks (this being a SA forum), so those IPCC's are n/a to us..

Not true..

You can, with a simple command line command enable tethering in the latest releases.

For Windows:

"%ProgramFiles%\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

Press the Windows Key + R, or start, run, type cmd, hit enter, and copy, paste the above command into the black window. Then press enter.

For Mac:

Tried this and it's not working for me.

Sorry, forgot the cmd bit. Not sure if that will make a difference.

Apparently you must shift-update not shift-restore to apply the ipcc on Windows. Lemme know as a matter of interest, as I have no need for the ipcc's.

Seems to work for me though. Shift-update and it allows me to browse for a .ipcc file

Thx

You going to be whacking that check for update button in iTunes every 5 seconds?

They like 10 hours behind us so dont expect it before 10 tmorrow morning if they release it at 12 midnight.

Ah ok, I misinterpreted your post then. I did not realise this was the exact equivalent of the hack for mac. I was expecting iTunes to sync back something to enable the tethering setting. Will give it another go.

So did anyone watch the UltraSn0w demo?

Latest baseband supported, release on fri!

 

[marine1]

Still no official release of OS3?

 

[Bravestar]

Noob question but when I update via itunes is the firmware file stored somewhere on my PC or do I have to download the 250mb everytime I want to restore my iphone?

Also if the file is stored somewhere would I be able to upgrade multiple iphones with the same firmware?

Got a friend with a iphone with a databundle and downloading the file will completely wipe out his entire cap... I am hoping its possible to download the file and upgrade both our phones.

2 days to go I have resisted temptation! by the way I will have 2 x iPhones available for sale at the end of the month, both new in the box (got 2 upgrades due, so thought I would give back to the community and sell them for a steal )

you maybe want to wait till next month for 3G S? then I'll definitely take one

Cupertino US is 9 hours behind us so if they release at midnight, its 5min to go til 09h00 local time.....

 

[fxit_man]

it is stored. Can't remember exact location but it's somewhere here

(posting from iPhone ATM so can't give exact location)

xp: c:/documents and settings/xx/appdata(hidden folder)/local/apple/

vista: c:/users/xx/appdata(hidden folder)/local/apple computer

somewhere there anyways. Search for the .ipsw file and you'll find it!

Yes you can use it for multiple iPhones ( as long as they are both the same model for the iPhone you downloaded it for e.g both 3G)

Bah! 12 midnight passed in Cupertino - so now its down to hitting the 'check for update' button every 5 min...
