Nokia 1600 survives period of time in fish's protrusion, still makes smelly calls

First off, it's rather awe-inspiring that person in a matured commonwealth is still victimisation the Nokia 1600 as their primary phone. Secondly, it's even more than unbelievable that same phone lasted a period of time in the protrusion of a cod and could still make calls aft it was reclaimed. In a just-barely-believable account hosted up at The Sun, a businessperson was both afraid and disconnected when his presumably done for cellular telephone began troth his Lady individual around five life aft he born it at large indefinite quantity. As the prevarication goes, a 25 pound cod managed to swallow the thing, and a pair of fishermen discovered it upon gutting their catch. The best part? The adult male United Nations agency it was returned to is still victimisation it, disdain the construct that it literally reeks of rotted fish. United Nations agency knows -- maybe he suffers from ichthyomania.

New iPhone 1.1.1 firmware out, we're hard to get into it

Yo guys, the word iPhone firmware just came out. I can substantiate that it is encrypted like the iPod Touch firmware, and so right no one has alligatored it open to view the files. We're excavation our hardest on this.

My testimonial is not to upgrade, if you have a modded telecommunicate (ringtones, fake energizing, ANYTHING third-party), until we have more than aggregation. If you want to upgrade, regenerate your telecommunicate first with the old firmware by ownership Shift spell clicking Regenerate in iTunes (Command key if you're on Macintosh) and choosing the 1.0.2 firmware first, point upgrading once the regenerate has completed.

DO NOT UPGRADE IF YOUR PHONE IS UNLOCKED.

Let me say this too: The iPhone firmware turning 1.1.1 invalidates ALL iPhone software system hacks.

We will bring you more than tidings as it develops.

1.1.2 OTB UNLOCKED

First of no, HUGE acknowledgement to TA_Mobile and IMTH for deed us the secpack from 1.1.3 Also, acknowledgement to psp_sully for generous me a 1.1.2 OTB telecommunicate to play with. Without them here would be no withdraw, and no communicate post.
YOU VERY WELL MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE WITH THIS. Be heedful. I have finished it sucessfully on deuce phones, and have never bricked an iPhone in my life.
So lets get down to business. It is a implements of war performing to place the bootloader, and I am assumptive you square measure familiar with the old implements of war performing, so I won't repeat path. You requisite to have a 1.1.2 4.6 telecommunicate for this to work. If you upgraded to 1.1.3, have witticism ready and waiting for 1.1.4!

First transfer this pack, you will requisite these files. This includes the NEW secpack, a new ieraser, a new testcode.bb, and a new iunlocker.

1. Copy no the files to a reference book on your telecommunicate. It is responsibility you do not shut up off the telecommunicate aft ieraser, or you cannot regenerate wireless fidelity, since the lone fls which deeds on 4.6 is 1.1.3 Instal mobileterminal before you begin, in case you lose wi-fi. Also I counsel doing this on 1.0.2, since resetting the baseband doesn't cause problems.

2. Run ienew. This is ieraser, and it erases your 1.1.2 firmware to allow the testpoint to work.

3. Find an old 3.9 nor dump and make a file known as "nor" with the first 0x20000 bytes of the old nor dump. This is the 3.9 bootloader.

4. Copy "nor" into the folder and run iunew. This is iunlocker and runs just like the old one. You will requisite the A17 testpoint on before running this. See Step 3 for content on this testpoint. If you restarted and lost wi-fi, it is fine. Just run it from mobileterminal.

Note: "bbupdater -v" shouldn't work at this point, since your telecommunicate has no firmware, just a bootloader.

5. The bootloader is nowadays 3.9!!! Run bbupdater -f or regenerate telecommunicate with the AnySimmable firmware of your decision making. It seems group square measure having the least fate with the firmware from 1.1.2

6. Run AnySim and, as familiar, savor your unbarred iPhone.

PS. Acknowledgement again to TA_Mobile and IMTH. The secpack was the lone impediment to the withdraw. And acknowledgement to the missy United Nations agency pressed the return button spell I held the testpoint :)
