IPhone :: 4.0.2 Stock From Apple - Still Possible To JB?
Aug 16, 2010
i have a 4.0.2 straight from the apple store. I've been reading that its still possible to JB by downgrading to 4.0.1, however, you would need to save your SHSH blobs first. The problem is that this phone has never been JB'd before. So are the blobs specific to a firmware? Or are they just specific to your phone? Will it be possible to get the blobs using umbrella tool, then just download 4.0.1 pointing it to the cydia server then install and sign 4.0.1 that way? Or am i screwed for now?
So, not being one of the people that actually got through on ATT&Ts or Apple's site on the big pre-order day, or not being one to camp out in front of my local Apple store overnight, I'm wondering just how often it will receive stock. I'm guessing that they will probably sell out the morning of the 24th. Do the Apple stores get to replenish their stock daily ...a couple times a week ... once a week?
I called-up my local Apple store and asked if they would be getting another shipment of iPhone 4s on Friday if they sell out on Thursday. The manager (who I was speaking with) said that they would probably get another shipment at the end of NEXT week. Can anyone confirm this with their local Apple store? I have been phone-less for about a week now and can't afford another week.
I'm going to running some errands later today, and was thinking about stopping by local apple store. It's like 10 minutes away and I need to get a replacement iPhone 4 because mine has a yellow band that is ugly and won't go away.So how has stock been by you? Have you been able to get your phone replaced?
I know I can call, but they don't open for 2 hours and often don't have time to answer all the calls on busy weekends...
I went in to the Fair Oaks Apple Store in Fairfax, VA to get on the waiting list since I had heard that was faster than online and they had a bunch in stock. Bought my wife a 32GB iPhone 4. Took all of 10 minutes.
How often do you think the Apple stores will get in new stock? I was not going to wait in line and dont want to wait till mid July to get one. Should I try an ATT store or just keep checking the Apple store and hope to getlucky? Or is mid July my best bet?
I placed two iPhone 4s (32gb) on reserve at the Apple store last Friday evening. They estimated it would be approximately 2 weeks before they came in. I just received notice that the phones are in and I have until COB tomorrow (Friday) to pick them up. This was a no-committment on my part reservation - the Apple guy said pick them up if I want them, don't if I don't. I will probably just cancel these since I also and placed an order with AT&T on Tuesday. That order is supposed to be 7-10 days but now I'm wondering if the order from AT&T might come earlier than predicted.
Just called my local Apple Store to ask if they had any iPhone 4 in stock. When I asked, he said they didn't. I asked him if he knew when we would be getting any. He literally whispered "I would try coming in tomorrow at 2:30." Looks like I know where I'll be going.
From last year? I hope they bring it back this year, it's a good way of seeing if an Apple store near you has any iPhone stock or not, and states all the models too.
The story so far: I bought an accessory in Nov 2011 at an Apple Retail Store. (Philips dual-dock speaker) It started malfunctioning in Mar 2012. (Dock not charging anymore) I brought it to an Apple Store (closer to my place), they were happy to replace it on the spot, except that there was none in stock. So I was advised to go to an other Store (the original one), where they had stock. So far, so good for service. I went to the other store, but there I was told that they could not replace it because I had bought it more than 14 days before, so I had to contact the manufacturer directly! So my questions are:
- What is, if any, the actual policy on non-Apple product repair & replacement?
- Why don't all store follow the same policy?
- Should I just try my luck again with another person, until I strike gold and get it replaced?
I made a purchase for a black bumper and paid $31.60 but when I go to the Apple.com website to check the status of my refund its shows "There is no record of a refund for the receipt number you entered." I tried entering my receipt number plus last 4 of card and I also tried just entering the full CC number as well and get that response for both.
Just wanting to know if anyone has possibly experienced before, wanted to to see if any Macforum members have had this issue and what was the resolution to your issue? Should I just call Apple? Are they giving refunds in store if you take in your receipt?
As well as the other stores not having any stocks of the iPhone 3G, today Apple updated their US store to show no stock of the 3G model iPhone. Also, O2 Ireland have no stock in Pay Monthly or Pay and Go of the iPhone 3G although do have stock of the 3G S as usual.
Is it true that each BB store evaluates the pre order numbers and then actually "orders" stock? This is what I was told but I'm unsure. I'm curious as to what my odds are for actually getting one on the 24th. Also wondering how far out they schedule the pick ups...
I've been calling all the Apple stores near me to see if the iPhone 4 is available. And its annoying having to wait 15 minutes on the phone to hear if they have it or not. Is there a way I can check from my laptop?
I have an iPhone 3gs i want to sell that has 3.1.3 on it with jailbreak a la Spirit and unlock a la blacksn0w. I have apps and personal data on there, and did the SHSH blob backup of 3.1.3 to Cydia right before 4.0 came out. Is there any easier way to restore it to stock than put 3.1.3 on there again (I fear it will not be accepted or some error even though I have the "blob backup" a noobie in that department and just followed instructions from a dev's twitter). Is there an easier way to restore the phone to clean, re-JB and re-unlock? Maybe like manually wipe all contacts, photos, and apps (that should take care of my personal data, right)?
Also, only going to sell my 3GS if iPhone 4 is not unlocked before the end of the summer. I'm going to Europe in the Fall and if this isnt the case, I'll just be bringing 3GS with me .
I was wondering how much of a wait for the iphone 4. I was just at Bestbuy and they had 32gb in stock that i could get. But sadly, I wasnt able to at that moment. But plan to in 2 weeks, I was wondering if i was just luckily at bestbuy at the time they got a shipment in or if they fly off the shelves and are out of stock alot of the time.
I am not able to add new stock id's to my 4s in most cases, there are older existing stocks that i can locate but any new ones do not show up when i try to search and add them...
i currently have an iphone 3gs with 3.1.2 jailbroken. it was manufactured in week 29 of last year according to my serial number. does that mean i have the old boot rom/non MC-model? i know 3.1.3 has no new features. the only reason i have to update is because my cydia/apt is screwed up and the only way to fix it is to restore. itunes will not let me restore my 3.1.2 without updating (yes, i tried the shift/option button thing).i just want to know if i upgrade to 3.1.3, will i be able to jailbreak with snow breeze?p.s. i know i can upgrade and downgrade using saurik's method, but that's just too much work.
