Selling: iPhone 2G & iPhone 3G

· Apple, Misc

Hi there,

I’m selling two (used) iPhones;

  • iPhone 2G (Edge-version). Currently jailbroken and working with all sims. 8Gb model
  • iPhone 3G (Black edition). It's the Belgian, simlock-free modem (sold by Mobistar, in the days), 8Gb model.
The phones are running their latest available OS (depending on model).

Price? To be discussed. Please contact me at yeri+sales@tuinslak.org or 0474/61.01.30. Items can be picked up around Brussels, or can be send using a postal service (transportation fee is for you).

iPhone could not be restored

· Apple, Errors, Software

Jailbreaking my old iPhone 2G (Edge version).

It was a bit hard to find software that would still allow me to jailbreak this 2G.

Soooow, I mirrored all I used.

Bootloader: 3.9 or 4.6

PwnageTool: 3.1.5

Be aware: you will need iTunes 9 (or 8, I guess) – iTunes 10 gives an error: “iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1600).”

Follow basic instructions on the PwnageTool (export mode > you need to select the default IPSW) and you’ll get there.

Telenet, the satire

Another news site that gets the facts wrong.

I only retweeted and posted the image on my blog. @raf__ is the author of this image (or at least, the one that spread it). Not me.

I thought the “Source” part at the end of my blog was clear enough…

De aanhoudende YouTube-problemen bij Telenet inspireerden Twitteraar Yeri Tiete (@Tuinslak) tot deze satirische advertentie.

ZDnet was wrong. Now ITprofessionals. Who’s next?

Data roaming

· Google, Networking, Software, Travel

I bricked my Nexus S yesterday, while trying to root it (with an howto for an old Android version). As usual I was trying to do too much stuff with too little time (as I had to catch my plane later that evening).

I had to root it to get OpenVPN, ssh tunnel, or system wide proxies up and running. Things I needed to by-pass the Great Firewall in China on my mobile.
