"Re: 3G 02.03.03 Unlock"
It seems during my tests to unlock this phone and downgrade the 5.9BL I discovered an Easter Egg, rather then an unlock. (What else was I to think?) A Rogers Locked iPhone 3G running Firmware 2.2.1 with the 02.30.03BB OOB can without hacks/unlocking run "Pay as you go" cards from *SPEAKOUT*. I did a little digging and it seems that SpeakOut pays to use the Rogers Network. Interesting no? I wonder what other sims will work OOB on locked phones world wide.

iPhone 3G Developments
I've been too busy to post lately so forgive me for the dead air..
I've started using IRC again, though not using my old reg'd nick so I'm no longer
a higher power in the channels. But it was never something I asked for, It was always given,
and op or not I could care less, however there are some annoyances that come without ops,
such as lippy n00bs and other members with privs that wern't around back then, or just don't know me.
(My fault for changing my nick. "Privacy issue")
Anyways, I was talking in the channels with pH and tested a script he made based off of GeoHot's
exploit. It worked and made me focus on improvements as well as trying to downgrade the 5.9 boot loader to 5.8
since I had previous experience in the old 1.x days helping out the dev team.
There was allot of drama (Why I left) back then and people went separate ways (#mini-devs) etc
Well I'm not scared to brick my iPhone, because it's rather hard to do, and even in it's so called bricked state I've
risen it from the dead, so with all the tinkering I was doing I noticed my iPhone 3G was now displaying my pay as you go
carrier, but I was still on the 2.30.03 BB, so it seems I had unlocked the BB and getting all excited I burst out with excitement in the channel that I had unlocked it, and of course I was flamed. I did try to take video footage, but sadly its crap, and no one likes screen shots, so what did I do to unlock the iPhones 3G running 2.2.1 & 02.30.03 BB....
I have no clue!
I was simply using old and new tools to erase the BB and upload a new one, and now I can use my "Pay as you go" sim.
Do I care if no one believes me? No.
Will I release my unlock?
Sure, even though the community wasn't very supportive, I just have to try and retrace my steps.
I'll post some screen shots, bbinfo from minicom, logs video what ever I can think of to help you belive its real.
But I won't bend your arm behind your back, so if you choose to remain in disbelief, so be it, I really don't give a shit :)

iPod Touch 2nd Generation Jailbreak - The Solution!
[Sorry it's been forever since my last post.]
The iPod Touch 2nd Generation will here after be known as the IPT2G.
I've been sitting around brain storming and messing around with code
for the last few weeks, and I have finally come up with what I believe
is the answer to the current IPT2G jailbreak issue, and by issue I'm
of course speaking about the need for a tethered computer.
I first started working on having my old Palm M505 running OS4.1
boot the IPT2G using a specially built serial cable, but while this
may have been fine for me, not everyone has an old palm laying around.
And not only that, but why on earth would you want to carry around another bulky device!?
And while I'm sure you could fashion a nice compact dongle into a keychain
I've come up with something far better.
I'll have more details posted soon.

What is an Apple Clone?
Good Question.
And it's tough to answer this one easily since it can fire up allot of debates from both sides of the fence.
"An Apple Clone would be a computer that was not manufactured by Apple, but designed to run Apples OS."
However, Apple Computers based on Intel Processors are almost entirely assembled using PC parts.
Do you remember the "Buck a Day" Commercial? "Why buy a clone when you can buy an IBM?"
What is an IBM, and what defines it as an IBM vs a clone?
It's simple.
It's defined as an IBM by the style and branding of the case, and perhipials like the keyboard and mouse.
IBM even had their own OS back in the day called IBM OS/2.
But what is an IBM really made from?
Aside from the case and perhipials the Internal components are actually nothing more the specifically selected
PC hardware. This was done to make supporting the system easier and ensure quality and compatibility between
the OS and the components.
What is a Clone?
A clone is nothing more then a computer that was not assembled by a major corporation like Seanix, IBM/Lenovo, HP, Dell, Acer etc..
Clones are built using the hardware you choose, and can be assembled by the end user using Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) or Retail parts.
I can't tell you how much I hated that buck a day commercial for making clones sound bad, when there in fact often much better. Nowadays companies like Dell and HP are releasing high end systems using parts that have always been available in
clones. Most manufactures have stopped making custom mainboards in favor of using the less expensive standard motherboards that have always been found in clones.
So this brings me to the Big Question and the one you have all been wondering and asking yourself, Did he forget about it?
What is an Apple Computer?
Well I did say this was a tricky one...
If it has a Intel Processor, it's a PC. It uses PC RAM (FB-DIMM) Intel Processors, PC Optical Drives, PC Hard Drives, PC Video Cards, etc etc etc..
If it's a G5, G4, G3 etc then it is an Apple computer because it uses custom mainboards and CPU's not found in PC's.
Apple Computers are really just like any other Major group like Dell, HP, Acer, Lenvo etc..
The only difference is there individual style, branding. And of course Apple still uses their Apple OS on their systems.
I hope I have got my views and points across clearly. I'm sure someone will try to argue something.
Lets just do a quick rundown....
Apple uses PC hardware.
Apple has a unique design like any major system assembler has. (Dell, HP, Lenovo etc..)
Apple allows Windows XP to be run on a Mac and created BootCamp for its computers but does not allow it's OS to be used on other non-Apple systems.

Ralink 2760 Drivers for OSX
I purchased a GXT Digital Pro Wireless N network card from FutureShop for $24.97 (Reg $29.99).
It uses the Ralink Chipsets 2760 + 2720.
I checked the chip on the card and mine is a 2760T.
After looking around I couldn't find any drivers for this series so I just grabbed the 28xx series mac drivers from Ralinks website.
PCI/mPCI/CB (RT2860)
Drivers Released: 12/04/2008
Chipset: RT28xx: 1.1.1.0
OSX Support: 10.3/10.4/10.5
Download Drivers
I installed them and rebooted, a configeration tool appeared and I was able to configure and successfully use the WiFi.
The only thing I noticed was quite a few CRC errors, but so far nothing seems to be affected.
I think it's best to purchase a card that uses the Broadcom chipset, they seem to work allot better.
Also the card does not show up as an AirPort and is listed under network as en1.
Ethernet:
Type: Ethernet
Hardware: Ethernet
BSD Device Name: en1
IPv4:
Configuration Method: DHCP
IPv6:
Configuration Method: Automatic
Proxies:
Exceptions List: *.local, ***.***.***.**
FTP Passive Mode: Yes
