Good idea or not?

[ny888]

What if I walked into the Apple store to buy an iPhone and asked them to check to see if they had one with a serial number from week 39 or prior?

lol... well, I wouldn't, but I'd be curious to see what they say. I say go for it.

i dont get it? whats dangerous about that?

[psylichon]

You're basically asking them to go through their stock and find you an iPhone that can be jailbroken. I highly doubt you'd get anything other than a laugh, but otherwise it's not "dangerous"

well yea i figured thats what it was, but i couldnt find the word i was looking for so i used :dangerous" haha. but if you go to AT&T and get the iphone they dont care if you jailbreak or not, the guy who helped me was like "yea they dont have a jailbreak for the 3gs yet unfortunatly or else i woulda jailbroke mine a long time ago" so idk just a thought :)

By saying "the guy who helped me" do you mean an Apple or AT&T representative? Because I doubt that's a true story if so.

if anything it would be an at&t rep. an apple rep wouldnt say that they would get in trouble. my friend who works at apple frowns upon me when i mention jailbreak. she refuses to look at my phone

She takes her job too seriously. I understand while at work, but after hours? Lighten up! :ok:ok

Word, Dave. I'd jailbreak my iPhone even if I worked at Apple; it's a personal choice, who cares? I don't think Apple is losing tons of money for that, a lot of people actually buy the iPhone just to jailbreak it because they consider the stock to be dull. Jailbreaking is actually a good thing for them, marketwise.. I think?

lol shes slowly but surely moving up in the place thats probably why. lol i send her screen shots all the time. i think she became jealous of the quickreply sms one i sent alittle bit ago

My cousin is good friends with someone who works at apple headquarters in cali. They are not fond of what we do to our iphones at all.

[TarekElsakka]

Why? Because we make them much better and more desirable?

tarek i did mean an AT&T rep, they dont care he was BSing with me about jailbreaking when i walked in.

[KabaModern]

Wah wah wah. Apple will never be able to tell me what I do with my iPhone once its mine. I'll tie up Steve Jobs and make him watch me make it ra1n and sn0w.

[juls1585]

lol he would probably have a heart attack

Oh well. Apple will move on. He isn't going to live forever. :)

Very very true!

They believe that their device is perfect as is.

UPDATE - emailed an AT&T salesperson whom I have spoken to before and he had no idea what I was talking about. He kept thinking I was asking for an iPhone 3G since it's "older". Went into the store to see him instead and he brought out an 32Gb Black iPhone and lo and behold it's week 38 !

He said they don't sell too many 32Gb ones, also got a 16Gb 3GS for my wife and it was week 41.

Updating right now to 3.1.2 ... forecast for tomorrow is RA1N !

Having problems with Blackra1n RC3.

Running XP SP3 - I do not get the Geohot image at all. It goes into recovery mode and then I get the connect to itunes image. RC3 says it's done and waiting for reboot but it never happens.

I read on modmyi that there may be an issue with 9.0.2 of itunes. Anyone seen this?

[psylichon]

When it says connect to iTunes, try disconnecting the cable then reconnecting quickly. I've heard that's worked for others.

[ny888]

Have no idea what happened. Decided to sleep on it and this morning, it just worked !

[juls1585]

Im glad you were able to get the phones you wanted and that you were able to jailbreak them! Have fun!

[ny888]

Thanks juls - I actually do remember one thing I did differently. I moved the usb cable from the front connectors to the back one.

[juls1585]

sometimes if you have a weak connection it will act up. im still trying to get my old 1st gen to work with me on getting jailbroken.
