iPhone 3GS with 5.1.1 won't turn on - spinning circle all the time. Is there any software to recover files from the "dead" phone?

This also works on the iphone 4s except the N90 file is now N94. :)

Come on guys!!!! Does anybody knows 3G Unrestrictor or My 3G?

use facebreak from sinfuliphonerepo.com in your sources (works for tmobile edge in 4.x too)

I guess you could do all that. OR you could go to cydia and download MY3G which will allows you to choose which apps you want to fool into thinking your 3G connection is Wifi. Very simple and it works.

This is a NATIVE solution. ie. Apple's implementation. Not a third party's.

It is a native solution, not a mod. the Apple boys have left this out of the file code, but putting it back in allows for iOS to execute other code. It's like this: Cheat codes for video games are NOT hacks, they are purposely placed and coded in to the game. The only reason the phone needs to be JB is because there's no other way to get to the file. You could navigate to the file through SSH rather than buying (*or stealing) iFile as an alternative.
