Unlocking The Apple iPhone

Remove the black part, the three screws, and the aluminum case. Disconnect the wire connecting the phone to the case. Also remove the metal cover over the comm. board. This is all the disassembly you have to do. If you feel like being safe, de-solder the battery red lead.

The red line is covering the A17 trace. In order to trick the chip into thinking the flash is erased in the correct section, you will need to pull this high. Scrape away at the trace with something like a multimeter probe. Then solder a very thin wire to it. Be very careful. Only scrape away at that solder mask above that one trace. This is the hardest step in the whole process; the rest is cake. Also solder a wire to the 1.8v line. Connect to wire coming from the trace and the wire coming from the 1.8v to your unlock switch. Be careful, you only get one chance to do this right.

Time to test what you just soldered. First use the continuity check on a multimeter to make sure the wires aren’t shorting to ground or to each other. Make sure your switch is in the off position. Power up your iPhone. Hopefully it didn’t smoke Now go into minicom to tty.baseband and send a few commands, AT a few times will do. It should respond OK. Now flip your switch, the base band should stop responding. Even when you flip it back, the base band still shouldn’t respond. Be sure your switch is off, then open another Ssh and run “bbupdater -v” You can get bbupdater off the ramdisk. This should reset the base band, and minicom should start working again. If it did this, your soldering is most likely good, and you are ready to actually start unlocking your phone!!!

If it passed the checks in step 4, congratulate yourself. You are a pro soldered. Go eat lunch. If not, don’t worry yet. I must’ve thought I bricked my phone 100 times. First of all, to power up your phone you don’t need to reconnect the case with the power button. Just connect it with USB, it’ll power itself up. Secondly, don’t waste time compiling minicom.

This tool uploads a small program, “testcode.bb”, to the base band using the boot rom exploit. This program needs to be in neither a dir with “nor”, the file you obtained. You need to have the switch on when running this program. This will download and run the code in “testcode.bb” Then the program will stop and ask to turn off the switch. Do so. You type any character then hit enter. The nor download starts right away. When the counter reaches 0×2E4000, it is done. Run “bbupdater -v”. Hopefully it will return the xgendata. If is does, the nor upload was successful.

If you already used up your attempt counter, the phone should already be unlocked. If not just run ‘AT+CLCK=”PN”, 0,”00000000″. That will unlock the phone for sure. Run ‘AT+CLCK=”PN”, 2’. It should finally return 0!!!Your phone is now unlocked. Exit minicom and copy the CommCenter plist back to its place. Reboot. IAsign. And enjoy your unlocked iPhone.

Nokia Announces 5 New Phones, Including Codename: Charlie, Wireless Keyboard

You know, we just can't win with Nokia. First they send me threatening letters all last month about removing pictures of the 'Codename: Charlie' 6630 (which we dutifully, if quietly, ignored), then they screw up my peaceful Monday morning by announcing 5 new phones. Rather than give them all my precious front page space, we'll take a look at all the new phone goodness after the jump.

First, the Lawyer's Friend, the Nokia 6630, a Series 60 phone that is designed to work on both 3G (WCDMA) and EDGE networks, as well as traditional 2G networks. Add in a 1.23-megapixel camera, all the usual Series 60 imaging software goodness, and if you count the bundled MMC card, ships with a healthy 74MB of memory. While feature-wise it might not be terribly different than some of Nokia's other Series 60 phones, the relatively small size and megapixel camera will be enough to persuade many to upgrade when it comes to market around Q4 of this year, for a price Nokia guesstimates will be around €500 before subsidies.

Next, the Nokia 6260, a twist-top Series 60 flipphone, with Bluetooth and a VGA camera. The main feature they are pushing with the 6260 is its ability to be used although with the Nokia Wireless Keyboard, a flip-open Bluetooth keyboard (hooray!) that lets you, uhm, key things in. The main point is that Nokia has its own Bluetooth keyboard now, and it's about time. The 6260 is nice looking, too; it reminds me a little of those recent Vodafone FOMA models we saw launched in Japan.

Nokia calls the 6170 'Sophistication in stainless steel,' but I'll have to see one in person to judge that. At the moment, it looks not unlike an 80s Sony radio, so whatever. It's not heavy on features, either, but Nokia is making it clear that the VGA cameraphone will be available in the US as well as Europe, at a relatively bargain price of around €250 (~US$300). More than anything, it's just a good sign that Nokia is pushing out more flipphones than before, even if this particular model isn't that amazing (it's not even Series 60).
Read - Nokia 6170

The last two, the Nokia 2600 [left] and Nokia 2650 [right] are entry-level GSM phones, without much to speak about from a feature perspective (except color screens), but unfortunately only the 2600, the rather plain candy bar phone, will be seeing entry here in the States, while the nice-looking folding 2650 is going to be Europe only. That really bums me out, too — the 2650 is attractive enough to purchase just to have as a second phone.

New Nokia mobiles for emerging markets

Nokia, the world's top handset maker, has unveiled four new phone models, targeting consumers in emerging markets who are about to replace their first phones.

The company, which makes four out of every 10 phones sold globally, has been fiercely defending its dominant position in emerging markets and in making cheap models, as market growth in Europe and North America has slowed.

The cell phone maker's new phones are priced between 50 euros and 90 euros, targeting cheapest offerings from its main rivals, all of whom have so far shied from competing with Nokia's scale-benefits in making even cheaper phones.

Nokia expects replacement sales to consumers who already own a phone to grow to more than 60 per cent of sales volumes in emerging markets this year from around 50 per cent last year.

"We see a major trend happening there," said Alex Lambeek, head of emerging markets business at Nokia's entry unit.

When asked whether the firm was afraid of rivals getting into Nokia's stronghold – its entry unit gross margin has been at over 25 per cent level – Lambeek said:

"We have a healthy level of paranoia, but at the same time we have our own strategy and the key is to execute that – adding new dimensions like services and driving this replacement market and I believe that will keep us ahead."

Nokia expects spreading of FM radio receivers and recorders, cameras, and music players to boost replacement demand on emerging markets.

"The FM radio story is the first thing. Having FM on wider range of entry products and now FM recording. I would argue FM recording is the multimedia innovation for emerging markets," Lambeek said.

Two of the new phones unveiled at a media event in Johannesburg, the Nokia 5000 and Nokia 2680, have radio recording function.

Nokia unveiled a low-end multimedia phone Nokia 5000, which it plans to start selling this quarter for around 90 euros ($NZ178), excluding taxes and subsidies.

This quarter it would also start to sell its cheapest cameraphone, Nokia 1680 Classic, which would retail for 50 euros, when excluding taxes and subsidies.

The Finnish handset maker said Nokia 2680, with a sliding design and priced at 75 euros, and Nokia 7070 Prism, priced at 50 euros, would both go on sale in the third quarter.

"To keep the very strong leadership position in the emerging markets we have, we need to give consumers more choice – be it on design, be it on features, and in the future on services as well," Lambeek said.

"In many emerging markets, also in Africa, the first email will be sent and seen through the mobile device."

In Africa and the Middle East, its market share was 67 per cent in the fourth quarter, according to Strategy Analytics.

Late on Tuesday Nokia unveiled three mobile devices – two phones for CDMA networks and an Internet tablet – at a trade show in the United States.
