the first thing we are going to do is on your pc to get rid of the errors iphone and windows have with regaurd to bluetooth.first understand iphone is made to be compatable with osx/snow leopard,not windows,hence all the problems with windows.

so by default your win-pc installs with the wireless iAP service enabled,that is bad so we want to change it. so go to devices and printers and find your phone there
,right click it,then click properties,then services,then we want to uncheck Wireless iAP but leave the other 2 checked,then click apply,then click ok.

now,
go to start/Devices and printers,then with your iphones bluetooth on and discoverable you should see your device there, if not click add device when your device shows up click it and then press next, then it will give you a code should be the same as what is showing on your i phone, if not change the one on the pc to match the one on the phone then check yes and then connect.

now to assign a comport go to bluetooth settings,if you cant find it just go to start-then type bluetooth settings in the search box on the bottom from there you can assign a comport to your i phone if it does not already have one.

now having done this,your phone will not just automatically communicate with your pc,it requires a little sorta hello message from the pc first,and the pc requires a special software to enable it to send that message.iphone4 also needs a little help. i am using minicom for iphone and putty or tunnelier for pc. but for now you can play around with the comports from iphone4 to pc. i will put up more on using minicom,as it is a little complicated and needing an extra software just to unpack it,if you do a little research you can find what you need.

also this goes without saying "i am in no way responsible for you messing up your phone" but really just about anything you do to it can always be fixed with a full "dfu restore" in itunes [/hide-thanks]



THIS METHOD WILL WORK FOR MOST OF YOU,BUT FOR SOME THERE WILL BE A FEW MINOR DIFFERENCES,IT WORKED RIGHT AWAY ON 2 OF MINE BUT THE THIRD WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT,BUT EASY TO FIGURE OUT AS WELL.

ALSO THE USE OF A BLUETOOTH DONGLE WILL HELP YOU WITH WRITING DATA TO AND FROM IPHONE4 . BUT PLEASE DONT EXPECT TO IMMEDIATLY FLASH YOUR IPHONE4 TO CRICKET WITH THIS AS THERE ARE STILL MANY ROADBLOCKS PREVENTING THIS HIGH SECURITY ENABLED PHONE FROM BEING FULLY FLASHED,THIS IS JUST A TOOL TO AID IN THE DISCOVERY OF POSSIBLE WAYS TO FLASH THIS PHONE..

ALSO THIS CAN BE USED FOR MANY PHONES.

AND AS ALWAYS YOU ARE WELCOME TO POST MY WORK ELSEWHERE,BUT PLEASE GIVE CREDIT WHEN YOU DO.

THE END RESULT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS
