Happy 1.1.3 firmware ending for TUAW reader

i have a HUGE problem... ok... SO, i am with T-Mobile... I unlocked my phone with 1.0.2 and i have been having that for forvever... when 1.1.3 came out, i didn't know that it would screw my phone up, but it did... ummm... the upgrade worked perfectly, BUT i'm stuck at the activation screen... i'm willing to wait for the jailbreak and all, BUT i just want to know if there is a shortcut to get to the main screen at least... i have tried the one where you use *#301# and the the 0 and hold and decline... whenever i press decline it just goes back to the screen that has a picture of the itunes logo and the end of the charger that says to slide for emergency calls... so... i'm lost... if i could just get to the main screen i would be fine until the jailbreak is realeased... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... somebody help me... just to the main screen...

I'm in the same boat as Rich. I live and work in Afghanistan and don't want to pay roaming charges every time I turn on the phone. I also don't want people to have to call the US to get me... ! I'll keep paying my monthly AT&T fees because I'll use their SIM when I'm in the US. But in the meantime I really want to put in a local SIM and use the phone!

On the jailbreak issue I am agnostic as I don't use any critical third party applications. Unlocking for using other SIM cards is a different issue and I hope that people continue to work on hacking 1.1.3 and whatever comes next. I have no problem paying AT&T for a plan but I balk at $3.00/min roaming charges from Iraq (or Jordan or anywhere in the Middle East and Asia), where I work and live most of the time. I use my AT&T SIM in the States and in Europe but it just doesn't make sense out here. Yes, I know, it is Apple's business plan and I agreed to the contract. I'm not convinced though that if my current iphone died I would buy another one as it isn't an appropriate "world" phone if it can't be unlocked for a reasonable fee. I represent a minority of users in Apple's business model so I don't expect them to care. In any event, it's been a great device so far and I am envious of the new features in 1.1.3.

so if a iphone is "bricked", is there a way to fix that? i have a 1.1.1 hacked iphone and am thinking of upgrading to a 1.1.3.

Fuck off, Bill

So how about an unlocked and jailbreak phone with independence (T-Mobile Sim) firmware 1.0.2, can it be upgraded to 1.1.3 and be somehow unlock the official way signing up with ATT? or will it brick my phone?

After i upgraded to the new firmware my "other" section (orange colored bar) jumped up form 28.6mb to over 220mb. Anyone else notice the same thing ?

Can Randall please e-mail me, as I have some questions about this process? (mweintr@gmail.com)

I have a 1.0.2 with AnySIM, and I'm curious about upgrading to 1.1.3.

Thanks!

Another great thing about this 1.1.3 update is that the little convert-to-AAC-rename-to-.m4r method for custom ringtones still works.

i think what's more important i the ability to unlock. sure the SDK will solve the problem of putting extra apps on the iphone sans any jailbreaking...but i want to be able to use my t-mobile service without having to surrender my soul to AT&T
