Turbosim in transit - have read every word in this forum - ready to do the job soon. Really great tutorial.

One question IMaso or Toruonu - re com centre unload/reload:

did you mean to leave the "-w" bit out of the tutorial for the command lines? (it's in there currently) OR did you choose to ignore reccomendation and put it in!!??

based on the feedback around hanging I read that omission of "-w" would be more beneficial?

cheers

just leave the -w in, make sure you wont reboot your phone during those few commandlines, and you will be alright

did you replace the commcenter with the disabled one or just unload it with the commandline?

Hi, I followed the guide (Mac), I use TurboSim, I live in Sweden. At first, evertying seamed to work great!

But now, when I have used the phone for a week, the phone sometimes fails incoming calls! E.g. every morning when I arrive at the office, I need to bring my phone out of sleep once, otherwise it will not accept incoming calls.

Any suggestions, please?

Cheers,

Per

Thanks and will do. Out of pure curiosity what is the "-w" command, ie what does it do?

From the launchctl manual page:

Code:

 unload [-w] [-S sessiontype] [-D domain] paths ...
              Unload the specified configuration files or directories of configuration files.  This will also stop the job if it is running.

              -w       Add the disabled key and write the configuration files back out to disk.

So what the -w does is make the change permanent until reversed. So if you unload the commcenter with the -w option, then it will never reload until you have done the load with -w option or manually hacked the files back to make it load.

So if you should now reboot, then the commcenter will remain unloaded and you will end up not getting the iPhone fully up. If you have ssh running you can recover from it, otherwise you'll have to restore and start from scratch.

Now the only reason you unload the CommCenter is that it's using the baseband modem exclusively so you can't communicate with the TurboSIM while the /dev/tty.baseband is being used. So if you unload CommCenter, the baseband access becomes available and you can communicate with the modem (and hence also the TurboSIM). That's why you TEMPORARILY unload the CommCenter and afterwards reload it. So I do suggest removing the -w option from the tutorial as it's safer for the noobs out there, if they do accidentally reboot their phone in the process, then they can just go back to logging in and unloading the commcenter again and continuing where ever they left off...

thanks for this makes perfect sense (to omit -w)
Inclusion seems redundant and not required.

actually thinking about it wouldnt step 18 also become redundant? I.e if we are not permanently stopping com, rebooting would bring it back up and hence no need got the reload command?

Let me know if I am crazy here - if in fact we do need to reload using command would I need to "-w" even though I didn't use it for unload? (thinking to make sure re load was permanent)

Thks

hey imaso i think it would help avoiding a lot of questions if you add iworld to your tutorials...
