trying to get my i pod jail-broken

wats up man

Btw way i wrote c r a p ....

I am super peeved about this peice of garbage.
I got the new update for five dollars$. Bought a bunch of apps/music around 45$
ipod touch was around 120.00$... I would rather had saved up for a fancy Mp3. I hate this garbage. Every time i get an app i have to turn it off hold the hold button wait for it to load. Then turn it back on. That also goes for music. Alsp everytime i time i use an app for it to save...
If i could, i would.return this crap. My brother had an ipod a few months back and it worked 99.9% perfect. Mine constantly breaksdown... Freezes... Loses money out of my account... And if it werent for the warrenty i would fricken throw this garbage in the trash
-100000 out of 10 stars

When I go to google.com a blank screen is shown, then when I'm playing a video suddenly it doesn't work: when I tap the iPod it doesn't respond so I have to go to the homescreen. YouTube . Com doesn't work on safari and on the app ocasionaly the video slows down while the audio keeps going.

does anyone happen to have the 5.6 carrier file they can send me, or post up somewhere?

I need someone form the Sky or heaven help me regarding
“Unable to Load the Network list”
I have jailbreak 3g Iphone 3.1.2 firmware and I am not able to connect to network Receiving above error,
please please please pleaseplease please help me.

ROB - Oh my gosh - the WiFiTrak tip worked. I've been at this for weeks. Ever since upgrading to 3.1.2 - no wifi connection. There are 14+ discussion boards with 700+ threads over on the apple.com site. No solutions. I called Apple Support today and they said it's not a known issue....Argh!

i have a 3g iphone. after i updated my firmware to 3.1.2 today, i was not able to sync my iphone with itunes. after i hit the sync button, nothing is happening. itunes is just backing up the data from the iphone & then it stops syncing.

I have a 3g iphone. Ever since the 3.1.2 update I am having a really hard time using the internet on the 3g network. It doesn't seem to be affecting calls or messaging, just safari-type things.
Every time I enter a URL, it fails to load, stating that the network isn't responding, about 80% of the time I'd say.
No problems on Wifi.
Anyone have any similar issues?

Hi does anyone know how to fix sounds? My ringtone works but MSG tone does not :( no other sounds work on my phone at all Like lock sound etc and iPod does not work out side of headphones. All other sounds will work if my headphones are in! Thanks! X

I have two iPhone 3G, 16gb with 3.1 and ATT 5.5 and I am having no issues with locking, wifi, or calls. HOWEVER... my wifes 8gb 3G which is on 3.1.2 with ATT 5.6 is a huge brick. She can make maybe one phone call before it freezes, requiring a restart. We usually get one or two bars in the house, but now the phone shows full bars, but won't connect a call or drops them within seconds of connecting. SApps are now causing it t olock up,tried to take picture and it locked up.
I have done a full reset and restore with NO success, but I did use the restore. After reading the threads I may do a factory reset and set it up as a new phone and see what happens.

hi guys i was wondering if u guys are having the same problem as me. recently after the 3.1.2 update i had been having wifi issues with my iphone 3g. now it cant even detect a single wireless signal. i guess my conclusion this time round is "WTH!!!! APPLE JUST MURDERED MY WIFI!!!"

In the camera a roll I have no pictures in the camera roll yet it stills show the number (1) in it. If I take a picture in the camera roll it show (2) in the camera roll when it only 1 picture in the camera roll. So when I delete the picture in the camera roll it shows at the time (0) pictures in the camera roll. But when I exit out of photos and return to photos the camera roll still show (1) in the camera roll I tried restoring my iPhone 3GS in iTunes but it still shows the same thing I've even tried rebooting my iPhone 3GS but still no changes. This is a but you must have missed so apple really needs to fix this bug to make it's iPhone 3GS correct and funcitional. All so make flash abode for iPhone 3GS this phone should work like an computer and also therething should be in iPhone 3GS for free without any other charges. I fell like if your paying over 100 dollars for a cellphone bill you should have everything I mean the full package. Thank you.

Ipod touch brilliant idea well implemented, pity there is a mob of idiot control freaks in charge. lost me, next step android

Thanks to 3.1 and the stupid coma, Apple replaced my Iphone SWEET!

So, with the new 3.1.2 update, is there a carrier file somewhere that will restore tethering without breaking anything?

If you still can't MMS call ATT tech support. My 3G phone was still "partially" registered with them as a 2G. They fixed this situation - made sure I was 3G across the board - and MMS has worked perfectly ever since.

Did the play count problem get resolved? My play count has been screwed up ever since I got the version 3 update.

I have the same wifi issues as noted by Peter and Paul. I was not able to connect to my work or home wifi until I reconnected using WifiTrak. After doing that, my connection worked fine while the phone was active. When it went to sleep and came back, it showed Edge for a few minutes then picked up the wifi again.

iPhone 3.1 update had re-created Microsoft Windows experiences-coma mode!
Hopefully I am back to Apple with 3.1.2

3.1.2 Has killed the battery life in my Gen1 iPod Touch. Was lasting 4-5 days, now less than a day!

How do you jailbreak the iPhone 3.1.2????

I lost one of my calendars since upgrading to 3.1.2. Anyone else having this problem...only getting my work (exchange) calendar syncs

Wow!!! Easiest Jailbreak ever created. Don't need to unlock it since I'm stuck with ATT anyway due to family.

Upgraded my iPod Touch with 3.1.2. Unfortunatelly it didn't fixed the crashes, the frequent "coma" nor the poor battery I have since upgrading to 3.1. For the first time in 25 years Apple has really dissapointed me. My (very expensive) 32G iPod Touch is useless.

For all of you who are waiting for 3G Skyping, forget it. It will never happen. That would totally infringe on your service providers ability to make money. Apple would never allow voice over p2p social networks like Skype, it just won't happen.
(Wish it would though...)

My voice command does not ask for confirmation before dialing a number, I have updated to 3.1.2 and it is still doing it. Do in need to enable this confirmation somewhere?

hey got problem with update 3.1.2 to my iPod touch it gets to 99% and its gonna install and it ways there is problem with my network or try again later and i have tried about 10 times and still does not work. so if anyone can help my would be very thankful

The carrier update does get rid of Internet Tethering as an option. Just did it. Oh well. Back to carrying around the air card.

Iphone 3g here. This update is perfect and has improved my batery life very very mutch :)

I tried to upgrade and it failed - Got Stuck. I then tried to Restore and followed apples' suggested steps. Still no dice. planning to take it to the apple store or to AT&T when I got my iPhone.

Well, you should probably call from a different phone, cause I think they need your phone to be turned off while they do this...also, they may ask for your phone's IMEI number and Sim card number and such.

MMS messages wouldn't send for me because I originally had an iphone 2g and upgraded to a 3gs...but it wasn't updated in at&t's system. (This is likely your issue)..I had to call at&t (dial 611 from a at&t phone) and let them know i wasn't able to send mms AND that it might because I upgraded from a 2g to a 3gs. They updated it in their systems, and I was able to send MMS messages after rebooting my phone.

Fellas, Sorry to hear that you guys are having problems with your updates. I was getting a rash of crap from a couple of other boards (ATT Apple Forum and Apple Forum) for not putting my trust in 3.1.1 or even 3.1.2. They were telling me that just a few of the people were reporting any problems with their updates. I'm still running 3.0.1 with carrier file 5.5. I like every one else would like to see a more reliable OS. I'm now concerned that many of the developers will start using the 3.1.2. SDK to update all their apps. I sure hope Apple takes a close look at these website and takes action to investigate these problems.

EDIT:
Not carrier settings. Turns out they install separately after a restore and the phone's still comatose. Will update them but I'm sure it won't fix it...though I'll let ya'll know if it do.

I've had my iphone for a week. Within 3 hours of purchase, I came to know the infamous "coma mode". It happens within one minute of sleep mode on my iphone, UNLESS the iPod function is running, or when I have a particular application, alarmlite, running in the forground when I hit sleep.
This update did not fix anything for me. However, I am wondering if it is caused by the "Carrier Settings Update" or whatever it is, since after restore it seemed to be ok, but then when I synced it...back to coma-land.
Any idea how to uninstall carrier updates or the ramifications of doing so?

update my 3GS to 3.1.2 , Did a clean restore . the update DID NOT fix the Coma and battery issue !
I can live with battery issue , but i can't live with a mobile phone that don't ring and accept calls and messages when it gos into Coma after sleep mode !
Love the iphone touch screen and i like the OS . But having a phone that don't tell you what happened ( calls - messages ) during the Coma is really serious problem !

In reference to Peter's issue (post 108), I have the same wi-fi issue with the 3.1.2 update. Testing points to a problem with MAC address filtering. The iPhone MAC address seems to drop out from my router's 'Permission' list. When re assigned it works fine for a while and then drops out again.

Can someone please tell me if I never updated to 3.1 to behing with and then just heard about 3.1.2 coming out can I just update directly to 3.1.2 or what cause I connected my phone to iTunes and it said there's an uodate for my iPhone but it only said 3.1 without the 2. What's going on? Or do I have to get a text saying the update is available to me?

does any1 no if tethering still available w/ 3.1.2? jus got new 3gs last week & got my tethering back cuz new phone preloaded w/ 3.0.1. would rather w/ internet tethering than mms.

My battery sucks big time. I have done the restore as new before and it seems to help for a bit then i get crappy battery life again. It is too much of a hassle. I never had these issues updating before. You shouldn't have to go through all this. This is BULLS##T. I wish Apple would just do something right for once. They pride themselves on keep a tight check on their programming but this software f-ing sucks a$$.

the carrier update takes tethering setting were you can see how much u have use tethering ..
its happening like mms once before with 3.0
they hide featurees

After upgrade to 3.1.2 and the AT&T carrier update, suddenly my iPhone 3G is showing "3G" rather than "E" for its data network. We have never had 3G in Richmond, KY, strictly Edge network for data.
I ran Speedtest and selected 3G network; the results were 206 Kbits/s download and 31 Kbits/s upload in Richmond, KY. These speeds are more like our usual Edge network speeds. I wonder if the carrier update has goofed up the data network indicator or possibly AT&T really has turned up 3G here and has not turned up the bandwidth.
I suppose time will tell.

Updated to 3.1.2 this morning and now I'm having issues. Texting and making calls are a challenge. Sometimes they go through sometimes they don't, even with full bars.

Looking at this I will for sure restore mine as a new phone on 3.1.2

@BBYM
thats a lie. 3.1 is jailbreakable without downgrading.. just look herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgK0sL3AZ8A
worked for me.

Follow up to over night part of my story.. Now I loose maybe 10 percent in the coarse of overnight and getting emails and text, and phone calls. Very much improved.

Battery Issues: I was having issues with my 3Gs. I had done a restore from my 3G. The battery life was all over the place. So after dealing with this since the 3Gs came out I was going to go to Apple Store. One of my good friends said try restoring the phone as new create as a new phone. I did not restore any of my old data. I have MobileMe and Exchange so all my contacts and calendars we saved. I manually removed my photos before the restore. Now I have not a single battery life issue. I go all day I have pushed turned on 24x7 for 4 accounts. At night I always leave my phone on. When I would get up in the moring maybe 6 hours later my battery life would go from say 80% to 20% and I would only have gotten 40 emails. (IT emails). Some times I would have to put on wall charger just to get the battery alive again. Still no issues and it has been 3 weeks since. Just for the sake of those who don't believe. I restored my old backup that I brought over from my 3G and the issues of the battery draining quickly started right back up... Something doesn't or didn't transfer over well. Our phones are software (oS) dependent. You wouldn't install your computer without formating your drive or writing over an old install if you wanted it to be reliable would you?
Cheers.

I went from excellent wifi to spotty wifi on 3.1 to no (secure) wifi on 3.1.2. I can't connect to my own network unless I turn off all security. I've tried seemingly every combo and restart / reset - except a complete back-to-factory reset of my entire iPhone (scared of that one). Really frustrating...

I took my phone off the charger at 100% two hours later its at 85%, I only used it for 4 texts

Did anybody have a problem with talking my phone when i would talk to somebody it would fade out then come back in then fade out again and come back in. it was a continous pattern??? It didn't do it the whole conversation.

My friend put in an aftermarket battery in his 3g and it smokes................smokes in a good way. His battery life is great. I just don't want to open mine.

Yes my effin battery is even worse. I started with 100% an hour ago and now I have 87%. I have sent a couple text and looked at FmLife for about 10 minutes. This is my second 3gs....................................Plus my mms works like azz. It has worked like azz since I got it...........................................I know the mms is ATT issue.

@Al
I have received worser battery life since 3.1 to. it only lasts for 3 hours and something

Anyone besides me having worse battery life?

I don't know what to make of all this ha1ltunes, appuloha1l, ferocious bird stuff... How does everyone else feel?

My carrier was updated to 6.0, anyone else?

Or am I just an idiot who saw it somewhere else and thought it was there... you decide!

I noticed something about the carrier update: If you look under Settings>General>Usage, the tethering data section is gone

Hey guys
updated to 3.1.2 yesterday - battery issue still there
Every 1 min 1% goes down --- WTF -- I don't want to reset it as a new phone again coz have too much stuff in calendar
3.0 was awesome - it gave me 10 hour of usage in a single day -- yeah it used to be like that -- reall awesome
so looks like downgrading to 3.0 is the best bet as of now

the poster George (post #20) said that he can now Group MMS like you could with the previous carrier update before the 5.6(?) one came out like a week or two ago..,
unless i'm doing it wrong, i believe the Group MMS chat room thing is still turned off?
is anyone else getting Group Texting?

Sweeeeet my podcast are back in order again!!! Now I'm happy(doesn't take much to happy) god I'm a sad sack

So this didn't fixed the super big issue going around for weeks about the 3.1 battery life performance? Shet APPLE

@eralwss puppy:
Already tried that. Restore and use as NEW phone. Batt life us absolutely terrible. Right. I would go to Apple, but my phone is from Australia and I'm in Cebu.

@ Mike
I have exactly the same issue. 4 hours on the phone with AT&T, no help. 2 hours with Apple Care, they told me to restore as new phone. So I did, lost all my existing SMS info, no MMS. WTF! I'm so over this bs.

Smart Playlists & Top 25 Most Played Playlist still not syncing properly...kinda disappointed right now smh

Wellington: it did that before this update

At least this update fixed my 3G connection. 3.1 broke my wifi and this update didn't fix it. Resets and restores haven't fixed it either. Guess it's back to the apple store for me... :/

@BBYM: Thank you... GEEZ!

All signs point to a jailbreak this weekend it would seem...

http://appulo.tumblr.com/post/207696517/the-bird-is-out-of-the-cage
5.11.07 baseband unlock

241.7mb here, iPhone 3G. Anybody know what the carrier update is yet?

Can anyone confirm if upgrading you are able to install the custom usatt.mobileconfig from the usual places?
Without this I would not be able to stay on my old $20 data plan.
Thankshttp://www.michaeljohnston.me/IMAGES/usatt.mobileconfig
load from iphone

@george
after having the same battery issue and speaking to Apple about it, the solution we came up with was to do a clean install and do not restore from backup...

Seems that sync time is much improved.

Weird but i thought what the heck i have att ill update as soon as i did i got full service 3g when i never got it at home not even close so maybe there updating there 3g i know thats for sure for me

Just finished the update and it was quick. Or am I just use to how much time it takes. LOL I did notice that I did not have to redownload my exchange contacts, email, and calendar. Sending sms is now faster. SMS was taking for ever to send before this update.

So. What's the verdict? Update or not??

@Al
Me too. Bad, no, terrible batt life. How can my second hand 3G that's jailbroken running winterboard have better batt life than a brand spankin' new 3 GS in standby????

@Joe McG
it still does it! Just happened after I updated. WTF?!! I never had an issue with it with my 3g or 3gs til 3.1. I use the plantronics voyager pro. Used to use the apple Bluetooth but that one sucks. Plus I'm now noticing some cracks on the bottom of my phone too...is anyone elses developing hairline cracks?

It's a buggy bug world!

@t0m,
when the 3gs first came out, dev team sat on a jailbreak, it wasn't the dev team who released a jailbreak for it, but someone else. why? they follow the same bs apple does. lets show what we can do this but no you cant have it.

does this update fix bluetooth issues? i don't know if anyone else has this happening but ever since 3.1, my bluetooth headset is constantly disconnecting from the phone and i can't stress how annoying that is

To bug or not to bug!...that is the question?? 

@Bugs I mean the previous post about people being screwed :-P

@t0m. Silly iPhone. I never made the jump from 3g to s. Why puts my update at 241mb I wonder what is the 60mb difference.

@bugs
Umm what? Try english :)

ah the jump from 3g to 3gs i found no need, wonder what the extra 60 gigs is.

Does anyone know what changes come with the carrier update besides the tethering data usage on the about page?

YOU ARE NO ABLE TO SAVE A VIDEO FILE (.MOV) WHEN IT'S EMAILED TO YOU. THIS WAS PROMISED WITH 3.0, BUT IT HASN'T WORKED FOR ME UNTIL THIS LATEST UPDATE. I JUST HELD MY FINGER ON THE FILE AND THE 'SAVE VIDEO' MENU POPPED UP!

306mb for my 3GS,
240mb for my son's first gen iPhone.

why are ppl screwed that the dev team or jailbreakers are doing the same crap apple is. if it wasnt for i cant remember but the 3gs other jailbreak release, dev team would of waited a year.

241 and 265mb for my itouch updates where are you ppl getting these 300 mb updates.

@Nassblue
For now, you're screwed. Unless you saved your EICD to Cydia. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're screwed.
Follow geohot, iphone_dev and this website for information.
Blackra1n.com isn't a bad one to follow either.

The carrier update probley allows voip access??

this crap better fix the random ibrick modes the last update did.

241.7mb what update did you download that was over 300mb?

@t0m: thanx but I have 3.1 installed already, updated when it came out. Will this still work? Thanx!

@Nassblue
Very simple process. Follow the instructions for updating carrier files without updating to 3.1 and instead point it to custom firmware file. iTunes and your phone will take care of the rest.
1)Download custom firmware
2)Open iTunes, go HOLD SHIFT and click RESTORE. Point it to custom ipsw.
3)Enjoy. (Don't worry when your AT&T disappears, this is normal. There's an application you can download from Cydia that you can use to put AT&T back or whatever the heck you want.

3.1 is the iPhone's System 7! Stay away! ;)

correction I'm not***

I'm downloading this from iTunes but instead from a website so I can keep my tethering : ) on my iPhone that isn't jailbroken.

@Nassbluehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQD-b6dhLX0&feature=player_embedded#

...Weird, i have absolutly no problem with my IPhone. Im grateful for that.

Can I use skype in 3G network with this changes?

@j00w00t: any chance of sharing  assuming u had no problems

Anyone have the carrier file handy?

I'll stick with 3.0.1 until it ra1ns black :-P
Looks like blackra1n jb will work with 3.1.2 -- thanks to Apple for getting this to geohot so soon haha.

Awesome, Will grab this in a bit. Was once jailbroken but dont really miss it and I got tired with the constant cat and mouse games with firmware updates! :D

Alas, it doesn't fix the issue introduced in 3.1 with Voice Memos being restricted to ~ 34 minutes.
(See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2160876&start=45&tstart=0 for details).

Usually with the big fixes, it fixes bugs I've never experienced. This time, I've had all three of those bugs! But...I'm jailbroken :(

@Nassblue
found someone with a custom firmware and shift-clicked restore in iTunes with that fw

Oh god, please let it fix the battery!!

Plus there is a new carrier update. What does that do?

Doesn't really fix anything, just screws up blackra1n. :)

@George how do you know it has fixed the battery issue? It hasn't been out that long

Tethering data is no longer listed for me under Usage on AT&T after the update

There is a carrier settings update also out

Nassblue,
I sort of did this, too. Sort of, because I installed VMWare Player as well as Leopard already installed in a VM. Pwnagetool 3.1.3 ran find in the Leopard VM. I then copied over and saved the custom firmware file, installing it from my Windows 7 iTunes install. An easier way, if you trust the source, is to find an already-generated custom firmware from someone who used Pwnagetool on a Mac and made the results available. As stated, once you have the custom firmware, you can install it from Windows.

I've been having difficulty with YouTube videos hanging halfway thru.
Another thing that's just happened today (pre update) is the non existant buttons on top and bottom of emails

@freddy kruger: dev team kick ass, stop whining like a school girl

@Nassblue.
If you know someone with a Mac or if you know how to use Vmware on your Windows machine, create a customized 3.1 firmware using Pwnage 3.1.3

@Dexter, I think 3.1.2 maybe a good option for you because I was regretting updating to 3.1, but 3.1.2 seems to have fixed any problems I was having with 3.1

@j00w00t: How did you jailbreak 3.1 on windows... Do tell 

I'm still gonna stick with 3.0. It's been working fine for me and I'll stay on it until they force me to upgrade! ;)

It works for me. Just for grins, try hard reset.
I have heard of a one instance where one half of a couple could do MMS while the other could not. They had to call AT&T to get MMS enabled for that number. Go figure.

@Mike: I had the same problem I went into the apple store and they ran a diagnostic and the phone was fine. ATT had to reset my messaging and data plan to get my visual voicemail and mms to work and you have to stay on them to make sure they turn your messaging back on.

Does anyone know if this fixed the poor battery life? I haven't had any problems except for that.

nevermind as soon as the update finished i got 2 picture messages that came through successfully.

Thank god...my iPhone has been plagued by this ever since I updated. I will be installing as soo as I get home

i still cant MMS, the option is there now but every picture message i have tried to send to any other phone on any other carrier always fails, any one else having this issue, I have updated to carrier file 5.5 and restarted my iphone, no go.

and i just jailbroke my 3.1 on windows...

Thank you, Apple, for responding in a [i]timely[/i] manner.

iPhone FTW! Hey competitors, DEAL with it! :)
