Re: band limit was Jailbreaking and some solutions?
There might be a jailbreak app for that. I know of one app which will show you what towers have what amount of signal. It's a paid app, so you'd needed sighted help to purchase it from Cydia. But I don't know if the app allows you to make use of towers with stronger signals. The app is on hosted at the iPhone dev team's repository. If I get some time, I'll have a look around for it.

I was just curious if you could grab different segments of towers. There's a really congested section I travel through that I'd like to find a work around for. I kow with CDMA there are lots of knobs to tweak once you unlock the EPST. Didn't know if this was similar.

Re: band limit was Jailbreaking and some solutions?
The only advantage to flashing your baseband is that you can unlock. Once you do so, you cannot go back, and Apple will be able to see what you've done. Also, you can only restore to custom firmware. Which, if you're an unlocker, you need custom firmware to keep your unlock. But again, flashing your baseband is only recommended if you have basebands 5.14.04 and 5.15.04. If you don't want to flash your baseband and you don't have a different baseband, just wait for another unlockable baseband to come out so you don't have to flash yours. It's that simple.

If you have not installed any tweaks that hook into important programs like SpringBoard or CommCenter, your device will actually boot. However, jailbreak programs like Cydia won’t work (and Cydia may still have a white icon). Also, certain built-in apps that had to be moved by Cydia will fail (Safari being the most noticeable example). 3 If you’ve installed MobileSubstrate tweaks that hook into SpringBoard or other important programs, your boot will actually fail (you’ll get stuck at the Apple logo). You need to use redsn0w to “Just boot tethered right now”. End of excerpt. For those of you who don't know what MobileSubstrate is, it's a dependency of Ultrasn0w, the iPh
Re: band limit was Jailbreaking and some solutions?
Flashing the baseband only needs to occur in some instances. 3gS's on basebands 5.14.04 and 5.15.04 must be flashed at this current time. Anything else is fine, and if you have a different baseband, there are steps you can take to preserve it when you upgrade so you can do a standard restore if need be in future.

Re: band limit was Jailbreaking and some solutions?
Pretty sure Rose is right; I think the only way that they can find out is if you've flashed your baseband to the iPad one. Other than that, so long as you restore, you should be fine. You'll only flash your baseband if you want to unlock. On 31/01/2011, Sarah Alawami wrote: > Sorry, I think my brain is slowiing down again.

Sorry, I think my brain is slowiing down again. As long as I what? and I read the article but I don't quite understand why apple did what it did and what it means. lol!

My serial indicated that my 3gS had the old boot rom. In reality, it has the new one. I can't go back to 4.1 because I didn't save my SHSH blobs, thinking I wouldn't need them. So I'm stuck running a tethered 4.2.1. It was a mistake, but I accepted the risks when I upgraded. The dev team recommended that I wait to upgrade, but I wanted to experiment. At any rate, when I want to reboot, all I do is put my phone in DFU mode and launch a file. My phone starts rebooting. I've never had to reboot my phone while out. Since writing the jb guides, I have found out more information on what a tethered jb entails. I've considered making this information part of jb101. At any rate, straight from this post, http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/1652053923/thanksgiving-with-apple in case there are some who don't feel like reading, here's the important info. Update #2 : The notion of a “tethered” jailbreak is pretty new to many people, so here’s a quick rundown on what to expect: 1 If you’re on an iPhone3G, old-bootrom iPhone3GS, or non-MC ipt2g, life is easy. redsn0w installed an untethered jailbreak and so nothing below applies. 2 “Tethered” does not mean you cannot boot at all without PC/Mac assistance. If you have not installed any tweaks that hook into important programs like SpringBoard or CommCenter, your device will actually boot. However, jailbreak programs like Cydia won’t work (and Cydia may still have a white icon). Also, certain built-in apps that had to be moved by Cydia will fail (Safari being the most noticeable example). 3 If you’ve installed MobileSubstrate tweaks that hook into SpringBoard or other important programs, your boot will actually fail (you’ll get stuck at the Apple logo). You need to use redsn0w to “Just boot tethered right now”. End of excerpt. For those of you who don't know what MobileSubstrate is, it's a dependency of Ultrasn0w, the iPhone dev team's unlocking software for iPhones. This means that you can't install Ultrasn0w without MobileSubstrate. My friend, who has a locked phone, was able to boot up just fine. I myself do not, so I cannot reboot without the assistance of my Mac. Most of you guys won't have that problem. On Jan 31, 2011, at 2:16 AM, James Malone wrote: > Thanks!
