DANGER Kristians iPhone hack DANGER



 DONT DO IT !!!!!!!!! 

there should have been a warning in his email. It runs the "TIFF 
overflow" hack without warning. While this does allow you access to the 
filesystem when you connect it to a MAC, it has also wiped out 4.5 Gigs 
of music, along with stuff I downloaded from iTunes, but had yet to sync 
up to my computer..... 

so here is the warning that was missing : 

WARNING WARNING WARNING - this HACK might break your iPhone PROCEED WITH 
CAUTION 

what it is wipe out my iTunes partition on the drive of the iPhone. My 
iPhone now shows up witha capacity of 300 MEGS, and a space space of 
65MEGS. 


Kristian, did you try this yourself ? do you know how to do repair it ? 
I did read you first line "if you dare", but you also said "Please 
visit". I took that to mean its okay. I now have an expensive brick..... 

This email is to save anyone else from a trip to the iTunes store for a 
reset repair, and loss of all my music..... 

Richard
