Member: 1497887 Status: Offline Thanks Meter: 0 | GPS DEAD. Thank you DEV-TEAM :-( 3GS old bootrom upgraded to 4.2.1 (bb 06.15.00 redsn I have 2 iPhones 3GS old boot rom (baseband 5.15) that I upgraded to 4.2.1, jailbreaked & desimlocked using redsn0W & ultrsn0w (Now baseband 06.15.00). Yes, there was a warning concerning baseband 06.15.00, when 4.2.1 was released with redsn0W & ultrsn0w. This warning simply stated that you wouldn't be able to downgrade your baseband anymore after the upgrade, and that you would loose the warranty, NOTHING ELSE. So I trusted them, like many people, I upgraded my 3GS baseband to 06.15.00 to get 4.2.1. Result after the upgrade : 1) my GPS are screwed-up :-(( 2) my batteries drain twice faster than before :-(( 3) the push function doesn't work correctly any longer :-(( Questions : 1) why didn't they tell people about theses consequences before? 2) Why didn't they test a minimum before releasing an alpha version (not even a beta !) of jailbreak & desimlock? Just to mention, SAM doesn't fix the GPS, neither the push function :-( |

2) Make sure your handset has been activated fully before you jailbreak and unlock the handset. You might be better using custom firmware in pawned DFU mode to restore the handset again and activate fully then re-jailbreak again without installing baseband and just installing cydia.This will sort out your battery issues. The battery issue is a activation error. | |

1) Because the problems you are moaning about weren't fully understood when that blog was written. 2) They did do a test and didn't suffer problems as not all phones are affected, some members even kept quiet about the iPad baseband hack to prevent Apple getting a clue as to what was going on. That information and the problems associated with it have been fully understood now and warnings have been posted on just about every GSM forum going but you chose not to heed the warnings. Maybe if you'd done proper research in the first place you wouldn't have upgraded and wouldn't now have these problems. People like you need to understand that you're quite prepared to take the information for free and use it but don't have any comeback if it goes wrong.......simply because you wanted it for free and you made that decision to use the information. You only have yourself to blame. | |

Of course, I wouldn't have upgraded to 4.2.1 if I had been warned before but the Dev-Team blog DID NOT say anything about the GPS | |

"Unlockers have been reporting mixed results about GPS functionality at 06.15.00. Until we can track down what differentiates those who retain GPS vs. those who lose it, be conservative and assume you’ll lose GPS at 06.15.00. As we work on finding the cause (and possibly a fix), please report your personal findings in our comments section. (Update: early indications are that while 06.15.00 is capable of GPS, it will require some further hacks. But please still be conservative and assume you will lose GPS at 06.15, in case the hacks don’t work)." | |

If the Dev team wrote that two weeks ago, it kinds of begs the question, why the hell did you choose to ignore it???? OR If you did your updating before they wrote that, why the hell did it take you over two weeks to come on here crying about the mistake you've made in the vein hope that you can blame the Dev Team for your cock up?? Either way, it's your own fault. | |
