At some time you are in need to restore your iphone or ipod or upgrade it to a new version with more functionality built in it. Bear in mind, there are hardware restrictions, so you can not get GPS functionality on your phone by only installing new software on your iphone. However, you can add functionalities like MMS and its like by upgrading the software.
However, sometimes the software gets corrupted for various reasons, and there is a need to restore your operating system, just like in any other computer you are using.
So instead of giving this job to a shop which will charge you around 20 USD for the job, you can easily do it yourself.
You can restore your iPhone with this FREE tool
http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/126908912/redsn0w-in-june
Download the redsnOw or Ultrasn0W software for either mac or Windows to your computer and install it. It is not a big file and it is self explanatory how to install it as well.
When you need to restore to a previous or a new version of the software on your iphone, you need to download the firmware first.
These are so-called .IPSW files and exists in various versions:
http://iphonefreakz.com/iphone-firmwares/
Download them to a location you remember on your computer for use later when running the redsn0w software.
Redsn0w will also ask for two bootloaders in its sequence of restoring your phone, these two bootloaders, version 3.9 and 4.6 is needed and you can find them here.
http://cazisoft.com/2008/iphone-bootloader-39-46\
Just download them somewhere on your computer so you can browse for them later when redsn0w asks for these files.
Then after installed the redsn0w software, you start it up, plug in your iphone to your computer, turn the iphone off and leave it off till the software tells you otherwise.
If you experience any problems with the software, you will find the forum at the redsn0w web page very helpful. The devteam does a good job of maintaining this web site and its content.
Redsn0w will now ask for firmware, browse for it where you stored the file, and click next.
Then the software will ask for the two bootload files, browse for them and continue.
The redsn0w will ask you if you want to install three elements, you should choose all three options.
There will be a set of instructions for you to follow now, so be ready to press the on-off button on your iphone and not release it until the software tells you. Then be ready to press the home button for the instructed time.
Then redsn0w will tell you it is jailbreaking your phone and asks you to wait for a while.
If this wait takes more than 5 minutes, then do this; disconnect your iphone for 3 seconds, and plug it in again. This should make redsn0w continue and reboot your iphone.
You will now be the proud owner of a iphone or ipod with a restored or updated operating system or firmware. It is also jailbreaked and can be used with any cell phone operator in the world – no limitations or questions asked.
You have to be aware of the fact that if you do this process, all data on your gadget will be lost – forever. Unless you have done a sync with your itunes and can restore the files from there afterwards.
Just one last crucial reminder in the end- and maybe the most important message to you. Do not, I repeat DO NOT try to upgrade your iphone through iTunes after this. It will only make you get a iphone that is telling you that you have a non-working SIM card and need to replace it. The reason for this is that this firmware you downloaded through iTunes has restored the iphone to its original settings without the jailbreaking, and you have to start redsn0w software again and repeat the same exercise again.
Best of luck with your iphone or ipod and take care.

The big screen fast internet connection combined with its user friendliness, makes lots of users attracted to the iPhone.
Men en stor skjerm, rask internett-tilkobling og brukervennlighet er det ikke bare mobilbrukere verden over som blir tiltrukket av iPhone.
The leading content providers for **** has according to Time Magazine embraced the iPhone to be the dream come through for pocket pornography. They are just looking forward to the iPhone firmware 2.0 that with 3G will have more speed than its predecessor.
iPhone is the most user-friendly telephone in the market and suited best of all phones to receive **** related stuff.
Apple does not comment on this issue at all so far, but has spoken out now;
”We do not tolerate the pornographic content is distributed via the iPhone, and we will ban adult content in our official applications in the same way we have limited the access to such content in our podcast section on the Apple Store”.
«iPhone porn»
Up till iPhone came to the market, most of the pornographic content on cell phones has been limited to pictures and juicy text messages and sensual ring tones. But thanks to the apparently good video capabilities in the iPhone, the most valuable asset within the **** industry, small video clips will be possible to distribute in the mobile content industry.
According to Google Trends statistics that keep track of our searching habits, the word “iPhone porn” has grown dramatically during the last year. On the internet several hundreds of porno sites have popped up directed towards the iPhone users.
The **** industry looks at pocket **** as a new revenue venue, and is investing lots to increase their content to iPhone. Today around 30% of iPhone users uses the video on their gadget at the same time as the majority of iPhone users uses more money on cell phone entertainment than any other cell phone users. It is these that the **** industry is targeting with their adapted content.
In 2007 over 200 million Euros were used on cell phone **** all over the world according to the analytical company Juniper.
As a consequence of the increasing easy access to the **** market, Apple has put in a parental function in the iPhone 2.0 to be launched July 11th.

AppStore has over 30.000 applications on offer to you at the moment. Apple AppStore is a success with almost 1 billion downloads up till now.
However, there is a flip side to this story. Lot of developers’ makes applications for the Apple products IPhone and IPodTouch but their products never makes it to the AppStore.
Applications that utilize certain functionalities in the iPhone like cut and paste, video recording, streaming, MMS, filesharing through Bluetooth and batch processes does not make it to the AppStore.
Apple also reserves them to prohibit applications that do not fit into the vision of Apple iPhone usage, like podcasting, direct access to the GPS and competing email and web browser clients.
iPhone 3.0 firmware will make it possible to utilize some of these functionalities, but not all. Therefore there is a development of jail breaking of the iPhones. These hacked versions of iPhones can utilize the capabilities that Apple do not want users to use, even in the new firmware 3.0.
Some developers complain about the discrimination of applications launched on AppStore as they seem to be of competition reasons mostly, to the disadvantage of Apple.
This question the AppStore as a sole provider of applications to the iPhone, and will maybe force the upcoming of competing AppStore’s in the near future.
Apple has not taken any special efforts in fighting the distribution of applications made for the hacked versions of the iPhone as it may have a positive effect on the iPhone concept, as it creates a positive buzz and creative development around the product.
There are 10 applications that Apple does not promote on the AppStore, and they are;
Clippy that make it possible to cut and paste text between applications. This is a functionality iPhone users have asked for since the launch of the iPhone. You can copy a text message and paste it into an email. Clippy does not work with Mobile Safari though. This functionality is promised to be in the 3.0 firmware version of the iPhone.
Cyntact makes it possible to get pop-ups of the pictures of your contacts when you browse through your contacts list and not only when they call you as you do in the original iPhone software.. This enables you to quick get information you have on a person, either using names or pictures.
Voicemail Forwarder can forward sound messages to anyone with an email address. As iPhone solution acts as a receiver portal for sound messages only. The purpose of being able to do this is to either archive or forward funny messages to others.
Cycorder: enables you to take both pictures and videos with your iPhone, which is not possible on the standard edition of your iPhone today. The software makes it possible to record a video with up to 15 captures pr second in a resolution of 384 x 288 pixles.
MxTube: makes it possible for you to see Youtube videos on your iPhone if you do not have access to internet. MxTube enables you to watch your favourite Youube videos offline.
MiVTones: software makes it possible to play any video as a ring tone when someone is calling you. So its an advanced ring tone, instead of the standard audio version you can do on your standard iPhone. You can select between various videos for the various contacts you have in your contacts list, and share videos with others that use this application.
Adblock: is a add-on to Mobile Safari, as it filters out most of the advertisments on the websites you surfe. Then you do not have to suffer from slow downloads of web pages filled with ads in them.
FindMyi: makes it possible to find your phone at any time, anywhere through FindMy’s web page. The application makes it possible to track your phone with the help of the built in GPS functionality of your phone. FindMyi runs in batch mode all the time and does not conflict with other operations on the phone.,So if you fear your phone is stolen or lost, you can salvage data and lock the phone through this software and their web page.
