Just jailbroke my IPhone 3GS. Can anyone help me on how to get free apps. Dnt know way I'm doin. Thanks

Think Ste might know this, drop him a PM

Download an app called `Installous` from `cydia` (cydia should of installed with the jailbreak).

Then browse or search from `installous` for what you want and it will also install the app for you (no need to connect to pc).

1ST thing you need is a flash app as the iphone doesn`t support flash due to apple not letting adobe port it to iphone for some silly reason

Yo, Just to advance on what ste said, when you open cydia you may need to add a repository.

off the top of my head i think it is http://cydia.hackulo.us/

Then do what ste said.

Sorry, forgot about that part (long time since i updated).

Some apps i use...

what will you charge to do my 3g iphone

willo its simple and takes about 5 mins

i really need it doing and unlocking, orange want me to stay with them for 3 months, and then want £25, indoor market want £25 to unlock it it, but if i update it i lose unlock, unless i pay £65

The market will charge £25 for jailbreaking, but ideally you need to know how to do it yourself, it's not difficult (it's free) and helps if you need to connect to iTunes for some reason so that you can do it again.

If you unlock it properly via Orange (as we discussed earlier, and I quoted much less than £40 ) then although you'll be able to use any sim in it the main reason people JailBreak is to enable them to download apps for free rather than using the App Store.

Thanks set done wat u said all all is fab. Just got tomtom for free and it costs £50 on app store lol. One last question how do I get my music for free cause wen I hot to do it it says download I click and it just plays. Six I'm new to this I'm normally a android man. This my first iphone

Willo just go on the Internet on your iPhone and type www.jailbreakme.com
That's how I done my iPhone 4, depending on what firmware you have installed it may or may not work but it will tell you anyway.
It took me about 1 minute and it does it for you without connecting to the pc.

This is what you see when you goto the site willo...


It's easy and safe, just slide the slider across, simple as that.
I used this on my iPhone 4 when it was 3 days old, had no problems with it.

thanks i will try it in about an hour

it comes up saying
Version too new. you need to downgrade to 4.0.1/3.2.1 or earlier, (which may be impossible, before you can use this site.

Myself and other's had problems JB'ing the 3G versions but the 3GS an IP4 are ok.

does any one know of easy solution, thanks

my mate has just dropped his iphone in his coffee!!
wont turn on now.
i take it hes stuffed?
no insurance either!

tell him to take it to starlight shop in birkenhead market, who fix water damaged phones, they fixed my samsung wave when i dropped it in the sink, or ask the THEDR on here if he can reckomend

Leave it to dry out for a long period, then see whats what! Second vote for Starlight from me, long established business and good reputation, used them a few times for phone repairs over the years, always done a spot on job for me, up-front and honest.

cheers fellas.
will tell him to take it to starlight.

Thanks willo, but in the case of the iPhone if it's seriously water damaged I wouldn't advise getting it repaired (unless you really wanted to), either at my place or the more expensive place in Birkenhead Market

I know it's a lot to fork out but as long as the phone is a genuine iPhone and you haven't had a cheap Chinese copy screen/digitizer fitted (easy to tell, no comment on which place fits them ) then Apple themselves will swap it for you.

You need to book an appointment with the Genius bar (you can do this online) and the Liverpool Store is the closest, it'll cost you £139 and for that you get a nice shiny new iPhone.

The problem with repairing water damaged iPhones (and we've been doing this for longer than anyone else on Merseyside) is that if it became REALLY wet you have to replace the LCD, the digitizer can lift from the frame and the water gets trapped in the multi=layer board, which can cause problems weeks or even months later.

IPhones have water indicators inside the charger socket, the headphone socket, and there are four on the board, these will all show so warranty is completely out, at least with a replacement as well as being shiny and new you do get a new limited warranty.

We have (successfully) repaired phones that have been in drinks, the bath, the toilet (it was clean water...honest) and even one that survived a full wash and spin cycle, the one singular thing I would stree is DO NOT TRY TO TURN IT ON. This is the point at which your phone dies, if you straightaway take it apart (battery out), dry it out, then take it to somewhere that that can properly clean the board you have a good chance of getting your phone back working again.

Doc: Can you give me price to jailbreak and unlock iphone 3g, i want it so if i update i will not lose unlock, thanks

I've never updated but I believe if you do it will cause you to lose your jailbreak, I'm waiting for the site I posted earlier to update as they are currently working on a jailbreak for the latest version of apples firmware.

If you want a genuine unlock from Orange it'll cost you £40 for us to do it, the JailBreak is free.

It does take a while for Orange to notify iTunes of the unlock, so you can either leave it with me to it or keep hold of the phone until they say it's done, then just connect it to iTunes with a sim card in it's locked to and it will unlock.

Tell you what chaps, I am getting brassed off with what is and what is not classed as advertising or touting for business on here.

cheers DR.
apparently its already in the bin!!!
he took it apart, (i thought he meant took the battery out) but oh no not my mate the technophobe - he took it apart completely to dry it and then couldnt get it back together so it went in the bin!!

I know the dr has a shop, i asked him, he did not advertise the fact or was not asking for customers, i asked him, so please stop getting your knickers in a twist

Thanks for that, if I was going to advertise I would have at least mentioned the name of the place, or maybe that's part of the fun, you have to guess

I've always found Bigabyte to be friendly and reasonably priced unlike Starlight who I find expensive and curmudgeonly.

The dr is a big help

and your point is..............??

Use the one I posted on me Facebook wall. Thats the best out there now, all the others are a load of cock.. Am running iOS 4.4.3, the laters one..

Sorry that's ment to be ios 4.3.3.

Cheers jase, I'll have a look at that later

Are there any risk attached with unlocking thing like likelihood of the device getting damaged?

I asked this for it looks like it is just a normal thing to deal with while reading this thread.

No risks apart from warranty.

LOL

Have to agree, don't take it into Apple with Cydia loaded onto it, they don't take too kindly

To keep your warranty, or take it into Apple, all you have to do (especially with the new 4.3.3) is to put the phone into Restore mode, press the Shift key key on your keyboard when you click Restore on iTunes and reload the 4.3.3 software (from a stored file on your computer) onto the phone (you can download it) as if you try to do it straight from the server (via iTunes) it can fail
