iPhone hack steps in Moscow

I’ve hacked more than a dozen iPhones for people here Moscow. Each time I do it, I have to remember the steps to fix certain problems. So, I’m going to document them here for my own benefit and perhaps for your benefit, too.

1. Turn off iPhone.
2. Hold down “Home” button while connecting iPhone to dock or cable.
3. Restore to 1.1.4 using latest version of iTunes (7.6.2).
4. Run ZiPhone. (I had to run it twice last time to get Installer to appear.)
5. Connect to a wireless network. (Might be easier with no password.)
6. Install Community Sources using Installer.
7. To fix “Call Forwarding Active” message:
   1. Add source: http://www.sendowski.de/iphone
   2. Install ForwardMSGFix in Tweaks 1.1.3
8. To display contact name instead of number for international numbers (+1.234 567.8901)
   1. Install AppSupport Patch 1.1.4 by timschuerewegen
9. To add russian keyboard
   1. Add source: repository.ripdev.com
   2. Install Mobile Enhancer
   3. Install Русская клавиатура

That’s what I do. Takes about 10-15 minutes.
