How do I connect using WiFi?

Here are the basic steps needed:

1. Launch PdaNet and make sure WiFi router mode is enabled.
2. On the computer create an ad-hoc (aka peer-to-peer) WiFi network and connect to it.
3. On the iPhone go to Settings->WiFi and you should see the ad-hoc network name of your computer, tap on it to connect.
4. On the iPhone launch PdaNet and if the above WiFi connection is truly successful, you should see a screen with number of bytes transferred. Otherwise WiFi connection has failed and you should scroll down and read the trouble-shooting section below.

How do I create an ad-hoc network on my computer?

*In each of the following instructions WEP network key is optional but strongly recommended. Without it all computers/iPhones nearby could potentially connect to your computer AND your iPhone!

On Windows XP,

1. Go to Control Panel->Network Connections, then right click on Wireless Network Connection and select Properties from the menu.
2. Select Wireless Networks tab, under Preferred networks, click Add.
3. Give a name to your network in the SSID box such as “iPhoneNet”.
4. Check “This is a computer-to-computer (ad-hoc) network and select “OK” to close the settings.
5. Now on your iPhone go to Settings->WiFi and “iPhoneNet” should show up in the list unless your computer is already connected to a router. Tap on it and your computer should go online.

On Mac,

1. Click on the Airport icon at the top of the screen.
2. Select Create Network, give it a name such as “iPhoneNet”.
3. Now on your iPhone go to Settings->WiFi and “iPhoneNet” should show up in the list. Tap on it and your computer should go online.

On Vista,

1. Right click on the network tray icon at the bottom of the screen.
2. Select “Connect to a network”, then “Set up a connection or network”.
3. Select “Set up a wireless ad hoc network and “Next”, then enter a Network name such as “iPhoneNet”. Also check “Save this network”.
4. Now on your iPhone go to Settings->WiFi and “iPhoneNet” should show up in the list. Tap on it and your computer should go online.

How do I connect using USB? Will USB Mode support Mac?

To connect in USB Mode, you need to install a client software called PdaNet Desktop on Windows. You can download it from http://www.junefabrics.com/bin/iPhone150.exe. The PdaNet Desktop client also requires iTunes to be installed and working in the first place. Now on the iPhone launch PdaNet and switch to USB Mode from settings. Once this is on, PdaNet allows you to connect even when running in the background.

To start the connection, simply plugin your iPhone and double-click the PdaNet tray icon (or right click and select Connect from the menu).

For Mac platform your current option is to install the PdaNet Desktop client through VMWare/Parallel or BootCamp. Otherwise you will have to connect using WiFi. In the future we will try to build a Mac version of the desktop client but that won’t be available any time soon.

I received USB connection error “Unable to start service err=0xE8000065″ or “Iphone system has not been paired”.

Please make sure the latest iTunes has been installed and it can Sync with your iPhone without any issues.

On Vista when connecting USB mode PdaNet crashes and gives me an error “PdaNetPC.exe has stopped working”.

You got this error because some necessary system services have been turned off on your computer after Vista/XP is installed (either by you or by your system administrator) and PdaNet is not allowed to create a dialup connection. To fix this, go to Control Panel on your computer, select Administrative Tools then Services and turn back on all the Dialup or Remote connection related services (In particular one named “Remote Access Service”).

If your phone meets the following requirements it can be unlocked:
1. Jailbroken
2. OS 2.2
3. Baseband 2.28 or earlier

If you have met these requirements you need to open cydia and install the program “yellowsn0w”. You can download it by adding the yellowsn0w repo to your Cydia sources.

The repo URL is http://apt9.yellowsn0w.com.

once you have downloaded yellowsn0w and installed you are ready to use your iphone on any GSM carrier.

If you have 2.2.1 your options are as follow:
If your phone has the latest firmware 2.2.1 and was jailbroken using quickPWN and has boot loader 5.09 your pretty much SOL.

if your phone was jailbroken with quickPWN but has bootloader 5.08 you may be in luck.

if your phone was jailbroken with PwnageTool and had the firmware customized and retained the baseband just install and run yellowsn0w.

if your phone was jailbroken with PwnageTool and didnt retain the baseband but has bootloader 5.08 you may be in luck.

If you are using 2.2.1 with the latest baseband and have have bootloader 5.08 your are in luck, you can downgrade the baseband using a simple tool “3G Fuzzyband Downgrader” that is available through cydia. If you have bootloader 5.09 you can download this and attempt to downgrade your baseband but you will just get a you fail message [actually tells you if your capable of downgrading when you open it now]. Once you have downgraded your baseband just install “yellowsn0w” and your unlocked using 2.2.1

If you are unfortunate enough to have 5.09 and 2.2.1 you are still able to unlock your phone using a periphial device such as a turbo sim, rebel sim or equivalent.
