[MAKAVE71]

so i just got me a iphone 3g already jailbroken and stuff but i want to put my contacts and stuff in there is there anyway without reinstall the firmware ?

If you had then synced in iTunes, you should be able to sync again and they should be there.

[MAKAVE71]

well i had it backed up and from my old g2 and this phone has the other persons contacts and stuff in there if i just sync it should do my stuff ?

[blkcadi]

Yes, sync and it should restore your contacts. Did you use Outlook Express, Windows address book etc?

[MAKAVE71]

no i didnt use those stuff

[blkcadi]

try doing a sync and see, can't hurt and may work.

[MAKAVE71]

ok its sync contacts and all that was sweet and guess what i just notice its not jailbroken or unlocked now here is where im scared after all these years of messing with iphone i need to reinstall firmware and jailbreak with redsnow but im scared because my 2g got bricked for good or fucket in some way i cant install anything i need to know if ill have problems with this 3g i dont have 9.1 itunes because i heard its giving problems so i have the one before that i beleave 8.6.2

because ive seen on 3.0 there is a new baseband problems something like once u jailbreak and unlock it u might not be able to do it again ?

ok i jailbreak how do i unlock it for tmobile ? i got cydia installed

[blkcadi]

If you use iTunes 8.2 or 8.2.1 you'll be fine being that it's a 2g phone you'll have no problem jailbreaking it and unlocking also.
Use redsn0w 0.8 and make sure you also have the 2 bootloader files for the unlock.

Opps, saw that you already ran the jailbreak, did you use the 2 bootloaders?

[MAKAVE71]

ok i got it to work on tmobile now sweet im almost done asking ?s here


i got one more ? about GPS on the 3g how does it work and does it work with tmobile

im on the 3g not 2g

[blkcadi]

It just uses Edge, no need for 3g network or data plan. Sorry 3g cool, was looking at you details it says 2g there.

[MAKAVE71]

i used to use 2g now on 3g gps not on the dot it show me a block away

[blkcadi]

Just may be a hic-up in your location, it triangulates from the cell phone towers.

Sorry, you will get no help, direction or assistance here for warez or cracked apps.

[MAKAVE71]

oh ops sorry.

one more thing i just did that restore and just now noticed that google bookmarks and all email and call log is there but notice my contacts are not there ?

[blkcadi]

Because you didn't use Outlook or Windows Address Book or something like that I guess they were not stored when you had synced. Not sure there is much you can do really, Sorry. As you can see some data was restored but with calenders and contacts you have to tell iTunes where and what you wish to store.
