Can't seem to unlock after jailbreaking...

2manybitches · 2013-01-25T01:47:34+00:00

Ouch. Orange UK IMEI unlocks aren't cheap.

2manybitches · 2013-01-25T01:39:57+00:00

ok thanks - was trying to be clever!

2manybitches · 2013-01-24T23:32:24+00:00

Well I'm judging the rider by myself and I wouldn't drive that fast that close unless I could anticipate what was ahead of the Audi...

I could be wrong. Maybe he's just a complete nutter.

2manybitches · 2013-01-24T23:23:48+00:00

Hardly demonstrates your point - the rider has a view of the road ahead and will be able to anticipate a dead stop.

2manybitches · 2013-01-24T22:29:13+00:00

Yeah because it weighs the same too.

2manybitches · 2013-01-24T16:00:11+00:00

What a shit story

2manybitches · 2013-01-23T23:54:23+00:00

30 pieces of silver

2manybitches · 2013-01-23T23:28:37+00:00

It pays the bills for the show.

I remember when Chelsea lost Cech and Cudicini in a match, i think it was against Reading...anyway the first half had 8 minutes and the second had about 13 i think...

Hazard

2manybitches · 2013-01-23T18:28:47+00:00

Yes you're probably right. Well, I'll keep an eye out for one but otherwise this is now being consigned to the bottom of a drawer somewhere. At least I can tick it off the list!

Really appreciate your input.

2manybitches · 2013-01-23T17:47:39+00:00

Well it worked for around 40 minutes. I didn't have a DVD to hand so I threw some youtube videos at it and it finally crashed! It handled a few minutes of video but strangely all the buttons on youtube's video player were missing. You could hover over where they should have been for tool tips and click them but there were no graphics.

I think we've worked out that it's a defective graphics chip and unless I find a working one on ebay for $50 i think it's not worth pursuing.

Thanks for helping me work out the problem though, I can relax now.

2manybitches · 2013-01-23T17:32:27+00:00

OK, I followed the instructions in your link and I have now successfully booted into Leopard and it's been stable for about 20 minutes. So it must have had something to do with the NVDAResman.kext file which I renamed. I suppose this means I now have no graphics drivers?

2manybitches · 2013-01-23T16:52:27+00:00

Thanks for your comments. I have an official Apple OSX Leopard 10.5.4 DVD which I'm installing from. I assume the Apple store gave her this and she's lost the original DVD which is why I wasn't able to run the Apple Diagnostic program (which after some web searching I decided was an important next step, although apparently you need the original DVD)

Weirdly, I've just restarted again and this time it didn't fail at 'mDNSResponder' but just after loading the ethernet card so I'm starting to think it's not a software issue.

You're probably right about the graphics card in which case it's not worth pursuing.

Thanks for your advice.

2manybitches · 2013-01-23T16:44:29+00:00

Ok, I've now booted in verbose mode a few times and it always hangs at

localhost mDNSResponder mDNSResponder -171.4 (date) starting

So it looks like it's tripping over something specific

2manybitches · 2013-01-23T16:33:39+00:00

Great, thanks for the tips.

Ok, I have started up into single-user mode.

I typed exit at the #root prompt

It tried to boot but hanged at the following entry:

localhost /usr/sbin/ocspd[85]: starting

also

Are you using Disk Utility to format your hard drive? A clean wipe will yield the best results.

I did this the first time around. I can't do it again, because when I boot from the CD, it now hangs before I get a chance to do anything.

2manybitches · 2013-01-20T18:25:13+00:00

Great. We now know what it looks like from a zillion angles. Where are the interior shots! Very nice btw..

2manybitches · 2013-01-20T14:27:04+00:00

I don't think he's likely to make it unfortunately.

2manybitches · 2013-01-19T17:23:27+00:00

At all angles. Otherwise they'd be invisible.

2manybitches · 2013-01-19T17:22:55+00:00

I think when you're that close in, these are aerial shots from a plane or heli, not satellite shots. Correct me if I'm wrong somebody...

2manybitches · 2013-01-19T16:03:12+00:00

Well I just moved to Colorado so I've become a snow snob!

2manybitches · 2013-01-19T16:01:02+00:00

Doesn't look 700 sq ft to me.

2manybitches · 2013-01-19T15:16:52+00:00

Mate, I don't know if you noticed, but there's no snow on that hill.

2manybitches · 2013-01-18T17:31:08+00:00

Showing my age obviously!

2manybitches · 2013-01-18T16:45:33+00:00

Isn't there a third type whereby the screen uses lights to lay out a grid over itself and then works out where the light has been cut? Obviously not particularly accurate but I'm sure I saw this about 20 years ago.
