Unlocking iphone to work with Carriers in The Gambia

After doing lot of research on how to making iphone work with any carrier not just AT&T, i gathered so much info regarding problems others faced while unlocking their iphones. Which steps they had right and which they did not? What went wrong during the unlocking process? Went through series of step by step guide on how to unlock iphone 2G and 3G on so many sites but the one i found most useful and easy to understand is: http://iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1880.

I went through the steps and "google" each step for failures, for example, the first step was to restore the iphone so i searched for "failed to restore the iphone" and i got so many suggestions on how to avoid that during the process. I did similar thing throughout the step by step guide while going through it.

Below is the summary of what i did to get the iphone unlocked:
  1. download the latest itunes from apple.
  2. install/upgrade itunes.
  3. download the latest version of the iphone software. The current version is 2.2.
  4. download QuickPwn2.2 , BL3.9 and BL4.6 .
  5. Place all downloads on one folder that is easily accessible.
  6. restore iphone using the iphone restore software downloaded.
  7. unzip QuickPwn2.2 to the same directory and and run it.
  8. Select the same file you used during restoration.
  9. select unlock iphone.
  10. select the bl3.9 and bl4.6 repectively.
  11. Follow the remaining of the instructions diplay on the screen as the process goes on.
  12. wait for few minutes to allow your iphone to flash and jalibreak the OS.
  13. thats all.. Now your iphone can work with any carrier. You can follow the screenshots from this link.
Thanks

Very cool - the iPhone's pretty big over here right now. What's the situation with it there? Do a lot of people have it? And a big thing with it here is downloading applications from the app store - can you do that there?

Its not much here. Saw few people with it. Besides that technology to be used fully is not yet available in the gambia, like having hotspots everywhere for internet connection or some ISP providing connection to your device. You can definitely download apps. What Dra does is to connect his iphone to a wireless network like in our office, assign the device an ip and then he can do whatever he wants. I downloaded an ebook and i was using it. Pretty cool stuff.

Nice article.
I Have the Iphone 3G myself with the 3.0 software version. Jailbreak and unlocked it myself using redsnow. I gotta say bet network to use the Iphone 3G on is Qcell, with their 3G capabilities you can have access to the full functionality of the iphone. I was at farafenni last week and i was send e-mails and checking my facebook account on my iphone.

Windows Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services

Remote procedure call ( RPC ) is an Inter-process communication technology that allows a computer program to cause a subroutine or procedure to execute in another address space (commonly on another computer on a shared network) without the programmer explicitly coding the details for this remote interaction. That is, the programmer would write essentially the same code whether the subroutine is local to the executing program, or remote. When the software in question is written using object-oriented principles, RPC may be referred to as remote invocation or remote method invocation . That is the definition from wikipedia . Microsoft windows OS have this as a service and so many of its services depends on this to run. But what happens when this service is disabled or value being changed? This is what happened to me, i stupidly changed the log on from default to another account and restarted the machine. When the machine started almost all the services couldn't start no...
