So who has jailbroken their iPhones?

[Cry Havoc]

Hey havoc do you know if your ip is dynamic with your 3g connection or does it stay the same every time you connect? Can you check for me? I need this for ebay (pda.net) but need a different Ip.

I think it's dynamic, but I can't be sure. Here's the PDAnet page, I'm sure you can ask them:

Are you on ATT with your tether? Theres a chance they might bill you for that eventually. I found a hack the enables the tether feature without buying pdanet but its possible AT*T will charge my ass for it.

HOw long you been using it if you are on AT T?

Does your provider charge you for tethering? How much?

I can't tether on my phone unless you have a data plan of more than 1GB. I have a 500mb plan.

I've done USB tethering on my iPhone 3G (AT&T) with a mix of Proxifier and an apps for the Mac and iPhone I wrote myself, about a year ago. I used it to watch about 3 or 4 NBA LP broadband games on my old powerbook. They never billed me extra for that.
I just don't know much about the inner workings of the 'official' way, which is currently still unsupported by AT&T, and I'm sure they will want to bill extra for that when they enable it. So, YMMV.

Yeah, it's pretty easy to hack, but I didn't mind paying $30 for something that's SO simple like PDAnet. I just download the program, click "connect", and I'm online in half a second (using the USB tether is MUCH better than setting your iPhone to function as a wifi router).

There's a chance, but it's not a very good one. I'm pretty confident they won't do anything about it until at LEAST they provide their own tethering service. Then I'll see what to do about it.

I was surfing last night on my 3G connection and I got a download speed of 250kbps. Freakin' impressive for a tethered connection.

PDAnet also works with the 3.0 jailbreak. As soon as I get home, I'm doing that.

So, I have a question for the jailbreakers. Do any of you guys/gals experince any weirdness with your phone after you jailbreak it? I used blackra1n. The past couple of days it was acting very buggy. It shut off while I was in the middle of something. The screen turned like it was a scrambled channel then off. With a full battery. Then 2 days ago it said there was no room in my phone when there was at least 3 gigs available. When I hooked it up to iTunes it didn't even recognize it. It went straight to the Restore prompt. I didn't feel like messing with it so now I'm running 3.1.3 which sucks cuz geohot isn't writing a crack for that version. I heard about the exploit via OpenSSH but I don't know if I fell victim to that. Didn't do all that an extensive search for it but I couldn't find anything. When I first thought about jailbreaking I did my research like all the nervous people do but I never found anything that jailbreaking "messed" up your phone. Ahem. Oh excuse me. I'm talking about within the past two years cuz I know there were plenty of issues when jailbreaking first came available. Any thoughts or experiences with any of this?

I don't understand too much of this but I have a question. My daughter bought a locked un-jailbroken 3G w/3.1.3 firmware. We use t=Mobil, so obviously we have to jailbreak & unlock it. What I am reading online says I have to downgrade the firmware to 3.1.2 before I do anything or it will revert back to locked at some point. How do I do this? do I have to insert her sim card from tmobil before I do it? Right now when I turn it on all I get is "no sim card installed" & an itunes icon. Or is there someone on here who can do this for her? If so, how much? Help.

I haven't been keeping up to date on jailbreaking lately but I think if you've already upgraded to 3.1.3, you can longer downgrade - Apple has blocked this option. It might be the reason the person sold it off in the first place. There is no reliable jailbreak for 3.1.3 to date. You can try sn0wbreeze, but i heard it's hit-and-miss with this program.

EDIT: That doesn't solve your unlocking issue. AFIAK, there is no unlocking option yet for 3.1.3.

[PM5K]

I think it can be unlocked if the baseband hasn't been updated to 05.11.07 or newer. You can check this by going to Settings > General > About: Modem Firmware

However, as resistanze said, it was probably sold because it was updated and not unlockable. When you buy a phone not designed to run on the network you intend to run it on, you really have to do your homework first.

EDIT: Some of what I've read indicates you *might* be able to do it. In all honesty, it's probably better if you find someone on Craigslist to do it for you.

You have to be careful not do update the baseband.

looking to tether the iphone, any updates on this? And can it be done with out jailbreaking? I tried a couple websites that have you load a config but no luck. I believe I am sitting at the latest firmware.
