My iPod Touch and iPhone used to be on 2.0 firmware and it works great with my third party video out cable which I got for 10 bucks online. The video cable ceased to work after I upgraded to 3.0 and subsequently 3.1.2 as it keeps prompting “This accessory is not made to work with iPhone” whenever I try to play a video file.
Good news if your iPod Touch or iPhone is jailbroken – a patched iapd file solves the problem. Backup-ed the original iapd file in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IAP.framework/Support. Put in the patched iapd, set its permission to 755 and reboot. Viola! Cheap 3rd party cable is working again!
Finally I can bluetooth files between iPhone/iPod Touch and my handphone! The bluetooth on iPhone/iPod is designed in such a way to disallow these types of file transfers. Previously in the firmware 2.0, iBluetooth allowed users to bluetooth files freely but firmware 3.0 rendered the application useless.
iBluenova to the rescue! Seems like the author rewrote the bluetooth stack and it is working on my iPhone and iPod Touch on firmware 3.1.2. Some users reported that it is working on 3.1.3 as well. Finally I can bluetooth files between handphones! Weee!
Had some problem with YouTube on sis’s iPhone 3G after jailbreaking the 3.1.2 firmware sometime had. The application keeps prompting “Cannot connect to YouTube” whenever she tries to launch YouTube. After Googling, realized that the problem is due to blackra1n.
Most websites ask you to install PushFix from the cydia source – iphoneil.net. But the application cannot be found! Found another source to restore the YouTube certificates – cydia.pushfix.info. Sis is enjoying herself on the iPhone once again. Yay!
After spending 1+ hours on the iPhone, I finally managed to:
- disassemble the iPhone 3G
- take apart the screen assembly
- pry the damaged LCD screen from the frame
- stick the new OEM LCD screen onto the frame
- attach all the ribbon cables onto the board
- fix back the iPhone
Cost: $50 for the LCD, 2 man-hour for the “operation”
Now my sis got a iPhone with fixed LCD!
