How do I use tinyproxy to tether with my laptop?
Create adhock network with laptop
Join network with iPhone (set iPhone to 192.168.1.1, laptop to 192.168.1.2)
Configure HTTP proxy on laptop to 192.168.1.1 on port 8080
Viola, HTTP over EDGE!
Can I have access to your beta repository?
Yes, we have no problems providing you access to our repository containing strictly beta software. However, you should realize that this is called a beta repository for a reason and it's not advised that you use the software if you don't need to. If you are comfortable with the risk that your data might corrupt, requiring you to restore then contact us and we will set it up.
To gain access to our beta repository you will need to add it to the sources via Safari on the iPhone.
Launch Safari
Enter
[Only registered and activated users can see links] in the url box and hit go. (trailing slash matters)
A dialog will pop up asking you if you want to add the repository, click "Yes".
Installer.app will add the source.
You will now see all the new beta packages. Check out our packages page for a complete list of the packages hosted in our repository.
How do I get BitchX setup?
Setting up BitchX is pretty easy. To run it simply do the following:
Install BSD Subsystem (required for the terminfo stuff)
Install BitchX
Launch BitchX from the SpringBoard
Now, by default BitchX will use it's own IRC server (which doesn't work) and uses the unix username (in our case root). That is not very friendly, so you probably want to change it like this:
echo "ircserver.hostname:6667::nickname:" > ~/.ircservers
You can add as many lines to the ~/.ircservers file as you want. it is in server:port:password:nickname:group format.
How do I get My eBay setup?
Please note that this is a commercial product and the version included is a trial. Setting up My eBay is pretty easy, but it requires a Mac as well.
On Mac:
Install and register the widget "eBay Watcher" on your mac.
Run Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access on your Mac and select the item eBayWacher
Your token is the entire entry in "Show password" field
On iPhone:
Install My Ebay via Installer.app
Install OpenSSH (if you have not already done so)
SSH into your iPhone
Type: vim /Applications/My\ eBay.app\Data.plist
Find the key for Token and place the token from your Mac's widget in there (if you have never used vim, press i to insert before typing, then press ESC when you are done).
Type: :wq

How do I get Voicemail button working?
If you have set a SIM PIN, disable it (Settings>Phone>SIM PIN>off)
SSH into your phone/li>
Run launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
Run minicom
Type AT+CSVM=1,"xxx" where xxx is the number the phone should dial for your voicemail. (For Telstra Mobile, it's 101, for example)
You'll get OK as the response. If you get an "ERROR" as response, be sure to unset your PIN before entering minicom
Quit minicom with commands: CTRL-a, then q
Run launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
if you want to, you can re-enable your SIM PIN now
and you're done!
How do I change timeout before going Voicemail?
From the keypad dial the following: *#61#
Press the Call button
Write down your voicemail number. It's the number after "Forwards to"
From the keypad dial the following: *61*1VOICEMAILNUMBER*11*30# inserting your voicemail number where VOICEMAILNUMBER is. It should be 11 numbers. For example, if your voicemail number is 16787641111 then your command would be: *61*16787641111*11*30#. 30 is the length of time in the command above. 20 is the default. 30 is the max.
Press the Call button to send your command to the server
You should see the following:
Setting Activation Succeeded
Voice Call Forwarding
When Unanswered
Congrats. You are set! Call your iphone again to see that it now takes longer to hit voicemail.
Can I get anySIM from Installer.app?
Nullriver has decided they did not want anySIM.app to be available in the Community Sources list of packages available in Installer.app. They believe it could draw negative attention Installer.app from Apple/AT&T and hinder third party development.
That being said, it is actually illegal under the DMCA for me to include the package for download, see this excerpt:
As crazy as it may sound, while it's perfectly legal for a blind programmer to reverse engineer Adobe's e-book technology, it's illegal for her to share it with another, perhaps less technically savvy blind friend. As far as the law is currently concerned, if you don't have the technical skills to reverse engineer, you're not permitted to free your e-books or your mobile phone.

What do I do if the unlock failed?
If it says that the flash went ok, but the unlock failed, do this:
Put a copy of the 1.0.2 firmware in a directory on your Mac. If you need to download it, get it from here:
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
Rename the extension on the firmware from ipsw to zip
Unzip it
Run: dd if=009-7698-4.dmg of=ramdisk.dmg bs=512 skip=4 conv=sync
Use finder to navigate to the directory where ramdisk.dmg is and double-click it to mount it.
Copy the following files to a directory of your choice:
/Volumes/ramdisk/usr/local/bin/bbupdater
/Volumes/ramdisk/usr/local/standalone/firmware/ICE03.14.08_G.eep
/Volumes/ramdisk/usr/local/standalone/firmware/ICE03.14.08_G.fls
SSH into your iPhone and run: mkdir /unlock
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
On your iPhone, run: cd /unlock
On your iPhone, run: launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
On your iPhone, run: ./bbupdater -f *.fls -e *.eep
On your iPhone, run: launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
Now cross your fingers and retry your unlock process!
