I was pretty sure this would be possible, but reports about this working out there are sketchy at best so I wanted to put it to the test. Since I now have a test iPhone to break before selling it on, I upgraded it to 1.1.1 to dump the filesystem over the past few days. I also got to test to see if the upgraded modem baseband firmware would still work with a TurboSIM. To test, I downgraded from 1.1.1 to 1.02 - the modem firmware obviously remains intact from 1.1.1. Everything works as before with baseband version 03.14.08G. I was half expecting to maybe run into some issues with Applesaft, as 04.01.13G reads the at&t IMSI three times as opposed to one, but all seems fine.

I should probably stop posting about the iPhone, but hey, what can I say - this little device has captured my heart.

To get GPRS/EDGE working with Meteor and your iPhone is pretty simple, all we need is a proxy auto-config file:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))
return "PROXY 10.85.85.85:8799";
else
return "DIRECT";
}

Save this as proxy.pac and pop this into /private/var/root. Next add the following key to private/var/root/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist:

<key>Proxies</key><dict>
<key>ProxyAutoConfigEnable</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>ProxyAutoConfigURLString</key>
<string>file:///private/var/root/proxy.pac</string>
</dict>

And that should be it. I haven’t actually tested this yet, so if some kind soul would be good enough to that would be great. Any HTTP traffic should now get routed over Meteor’s proxy. Mail probably won’t work, I’ll try to fix this when I get my hands on a Meteor SIM.

On 1.02:

cd /var/root
mv Media backup
ln -s / Media

Restore to 1.1.1, run the latest version of iphuc. Media is now / for 1.1.1.

‘sup MobileStore.app. Now to pop in kmem and get read/write access.

As if it wasn’t enough to put our beloved third party applications on a temporary hiatus, Apple saw fit to add insult to injury:

Bless their cotton socks.
