Here are my tips to the “Senior Tech Wannabe” about windows printer trouble shooting.

Problem: “I selected the printer, and hit the delete key a few times. But it doesn’t delete, though the status says deleting.”
Answer: “Cancel all the unfinished documents in the queue first. Damn it!”

Problem: “I cannot cancel or restart a job in the print queue. It’s just stuck!”
Answer: “Right click on My Computer > Manage > Services and Applications > Services > Right click on Print Spooler > Restart.”

The purpose of an appointment is to arrange and meet up in a spcific time. Why are people in the corporate environment thinks it’s OK to respond or show up 40 minutes later? Stupid retards! I’m going to change that, I will prospond a day for each minute of them being late.

Apple might face another lawsuit again, from a report of this firm Greenpeace (I’ve never heard of) shows that the iPhone contains hazardous chemicals that are harmful to the earth.

Zeina Alhajj, Greenpeace International toxic campaigner said:

“It seems that Apple is far from leading the way for a green electronics industry as competitors, like Nokia, already sell mobile phones free of PVC.”

Way to go, Apple! Just one after another!

Thursday night, I cannot wait anymore. I decided to purchase iPhoneSimFree (IPSF) v1.6 to fix my baseband. If you have upgraded to version 1.1.1 and bricked your phone, follow the instructions I provided previously to unbrick and activate the phone back to 1.0.2 firmware. I paid $60 to purchase IPSF (The only software that unlock/fix 1.1.1 baseband for now.) to have the phone recognizing my SIM and change the IMEI back to original.

Note: If your iPhone was bricked, the IMEI changed to a default number. When using IPSF, make sure you take out your SIM, although the instructions might tell you to leave it in. Because the IEMI changes only if bricked iPhone descovers a SIM in the slot. It shows your original IEMI when SIM removed.

Alright. So, I managed to unbrick my iPhone into iTouch. Basically it has all the features except Calling/SMS/GPRS. But, it’s a break through for me.

Now, waiting for someone to come up with the baseband restore. Then I can have my iPhone back! Yeh!! Here are the steps for my notes. I’m not responsible if this causes any damage to your device.

• Download iTunes 7.4
• Dock your iPhone and connect it to windows, and press Power+Home button for exactly 10 seconds. Meanwhile you will see the slide to power off screen.
• Download Apptap
• Confirm your iTune software is not running. Press Crt+Alt+Del Task Manager and end the process of itunes and itunes helper.
• Dock your iPhone and run Apptap. It will jailbreak your iphone and install installer.app on your iphone. It might show error at first. But just restart the program and your iPhone keep on trying till it gets done! Don’t worry how many times it takes. It will get through.
• Download Paycay (This activates iPhone without using iTunes.)
• Run the “(CLICK HERE) activate” Batch File. Follow the instructions. This step should get through at once.
• Restart and it should be back to the normal mode without asking you to activate. 

OK! Let’s wait for the next step!

Has been a few days since the iBrick heartbreak. My iPhone is sitting on my desk collecting dust. There are ways to unbrick it now according to the iPhone Dev Team, but it works only on mac. (I knew I should’a kept my macbook!)

Hackint0sh Forums: I Have Downgraded Back To 1.0.2!!!!!!!

I Miss Her !!! I Miss Her !!! I Miss Her !!! I Miss Her !!! I Miss Her !!!

I thought Rich didn’t unlock my iPhone, how did my phone became a victom of iBrick! Thanks to Stevie at Apple. Now you earned yourself a few million bricks that people would love to throw to your face.

What does it mean? Well, a new firmware update from Apple released a couple days ago. It kills aftermarket applications installed on iPhone, and it turns unlocked iPhones into a non-functioning “thing” people refer it to a Brick.

There is a solution out already for the Mac users, I’m still waiting for Dev Team’s PC Solutions.

Yesterday we reported how to unbrick an unlocked iPhone. Today we have discovered that you can send and receive calls, SMS and mails too, as well as surf the Web with it. You just have to use a TurboSIM card (like I did) and, according to the iPhone Sim Free people, any restored iPhone with their paid software installed (we have been unable to test this. )

I was too tired to think about trying this yesterday, but today I put my TurboSIM card with the Vodafone SIM and, as you can see in the video, it works great. The iPhone is now exactly in the same state as it was for me before the software update: it can send and receive calls, SMS and mails, as well as surf the Web.

The iPhone Sim Free people, who previously said their paid software unlock will work despite firmware updates, is claiming now that if you downgrade to firmware 1.0.2 your non-AT&T SIM will work just fine. I’ve tried this but couldn’t get it to work. We are talking to them to see what may be happening.

Meanwhile, iPhone Dev Team is working full speed ahead on two things:

• Downgrading the baseband so they can unlock again the iPhones restored to version 1.0.2 from 1.1.1.

• Crating another free unlock that will work for version 1.1.1 of the software. According to them, both may be very near–now testing– and they have put it forward to people with bricked phones to “be patient and hold on until we come with a full solution for 1.1.1 firmware.”
