Here's the log, that I started from my first stroke of luck. Either that or it's a really good thing that I quit the high tech field 8 years ago. (Anyone know how much this would cost?)Įvery tutorial I've come across has kinda been lacking in helping me out. Possibly change the screen so that I don't have a few dead lines, but still have my phone function the way I want it to. Unlock so that I can actually use it as a phone, not just a toy.Ĥ.
#REDSN0W JAILBREAK 4.2.1 IPHONE 3G UPDATE#
Upgrade iOS to 4.2.1, as I believe that's the most advance update available for the iPhone 3G, and there's a lot of apps that are only supported by 4.2.1.ģ. Complete factory reset, erasing any and all past jailbreak attempts, restoring the phone to as default as possible - including baseband, carrier, lock, whatever.Ģ. In an ideal world, this is what I want:ġ. I'm right now at a point where the phone functions more or less as an iPod Touch (thank God for functioning wifi). I have a fairly detailed log of my past few attempts. Here's the stats right now according to the phone's Settings -> About screen: I have been repeatedly unsuccessful in jailbreaking it, and each time I try I still don't get Cydia to show up on my springboard. Since then, I've spent over a week trying to figure out what can be done to just get it back to a state where it's clean, then jailbreak and unlock.

I managed to unbrick the phone twice after doing god-knows-what, but have been unsuccessful in getting it back to the unlocked state. I've also been forced into taking a crash-course on all the terminology and methods of jailbreaking and unlocking an iPhone. I've since learned my lesson the hard way that the iPhone isn't like every other phone I've had until now, and that Apple has made some massively evil business decisions that screw over the end user in ways that shouldn't be legal. That's roughly where most of the problems started. The phone showed the USB-iTunes logo, and was effectively bricked. When I got it back, I saw that there were some programs that I didn't recognize on the phone, so I decided to reset it through the phone's Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. The only problem is that it was locked on Rogers (Canada), and that the LCD screen had a few burnt-out pixels.

Luckily, I have awesome friends, and one just happened to have an iPhone 3G 8GB lying around in a drawer. While it's otherwise fully functioning, the only way I can actually have a phone conversation is through the earpiece, a massive annoyance.

My beloved Sony Ericsson W595 took an unfortunate dive into a bucket of water, completely killing the microphone.
