How To: Activate the Voicemail Button in Non-AT&T Unlocked iPhones

If you have successfully unlocked your iPhone, you may have discovered already that the voicemail button doesn't do anything at all. It won't give you visual voicemail, but you can easily get the voicemail button to work using any carrier following these steps:
1. First, take note of what your voicemail number is with your current provider (for example, in Spain the Vodafone voicemail number is 177).
2. Click on the phone button in your iPhone.
3. Click on the keypad tab.
4. Tap the following code:

*5005*86*xxx#

The xxx is the voicemail number, in our example it will read: *5005*86*177#

5. Tap call.
6. After a second, the code will have been set.
7. Tap now on the voicemail button and it will automatically call your usual voicemail service.

Gentoo + HUAWEI E220 HSDPA USB modem

I will explain how to have the HUAWEI E220 HSDPA USB modem working on your Gentoo system.

Hardware configuration:
In order to have the modem functioning you need to have all necessary modules compiled in the Linux kernel. Moreover, you need to have the card properly recognized by these modules. This is not trivial because the HUAWEI E220 modem is in fact a device with a twofold nature: it is a modem but, at the same time, it is a USB storage device. The storage device contains the Windows drivers, so it's pretty useless for our purposes, but the dual nature can generate some trouble. We will deal with this in a later section

Kernel configuration:

zgrep "CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC" /proc/config.gz
In recent kernel (at least since version 2.6.20), the HUAWEI E220 modem is supported by the USB generic serial driver (usbserial module). To use it, you also need the support for the PPP protocol and for asynchronous serial ports. To check if these drivers are compiled in the kernel, useand
zgrep "CONFIG_PPP" /proc/config.gz
zgrep "CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC" /proc/config.gz

or check your kernel configuration (if you use genkernel it can be found in /etc/kernels/).

If the options are not set as a module (m) recompile your kernel with the following options activated
Device Drivers ---> USB Support ---> [M] USB Serial Converter support ---> [*] USB Generic Serial Driver

Device Drivers ---> Network device support ---> [M] PPP (point-to-point protocol) support
[M] PPP support for async serial ports
If you say [M] for "USB Serial Converter support" and [*] for "USB Generic Serial Driver", you get the usbserial module.

Udev rules

Once these drivers are available, plug the USB cable and use
lsusb -v
to see if the modem has been properly recognized. You should see something like
...
idVendor 0x12d1
idProduct 0x1003
bcdDevice 0.00
iManufacturer 1 HUAWEI Technologies
iProduct 2 HUAWEI Mobile
...
The idProduct and idVendor should be passed at the module of the USB generic serial driver usbserial when it is loaded. For instance, from the command line, one can do
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003
In principle one can automatically load the usbserial at boot time with the proper parameter settings inserting a line in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6). We will follow a more sophisticated approach: we create an explicit rule for udev. Create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/50-huawei.rules inserting the line
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1003", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1003", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe ppp_generic"
In this way the module is loaded with the proper settings when the device is inserted, together with the ppp module. This approach is particularly suited if you need to use the module usbserial with different devices. Of course, if your idProduct and idVendor codes are different remember to adapt the previous line. Now do
udevcontrol reload_rules
and unplug and plug again the USB cable. You should find at the end of your /var/log/messages something like
... usbserial_generic 3-1:1.0: generic converter detected
... usb 3-1: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0
...
... usbserial_generic 3-1:1.1: generic converter detected
... usb 3-1: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB1
...
... usbserial_generic 3-1:1.2: generic converter detected
... usb 3-1: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB2
If this is the case, that is if three devices /dev/ttyUSB[0,1,2] have been created, your modem is ready to be used. You can jump to the software configuration section below. If instead you get only the /dev/ttyUSB0, you need some further hacking. Be aware, you may have /dev/sg[0,1,2] instead. See the next section.

Switching to modem mode
As mentioned before, the E220 modem has a dual nature: it is both a communication and a storage device. For some reason, sometimes under Linux the communication part is not fully recognized and the device is activated in its "storage" status. Luckily, however, somebody did already work out the solution. You can find a little program called huaweiAktBbo. This program can be used to switch the E220 from "storage" to "modem" status.

Download the source code, compile it and save the executable in the /usr/local/sbin/ directory

gcc huaweiAktBbo.c -lusb -o huaweiAktBbo
mv huaweiAktBbo /usr/local/sbin/
Now add a couple of lines to the previously prepared udev rule

File: /etc/udev/rules.d/50-huawei.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1003", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1003", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe ppp_generic"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1003", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/bin/sleep 10"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1003", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/huaweiAktBbo"
In this way the udev system automatically run the program huaweiAktBbo (after a suitable delay) to set the modem. By unplugging and plugging again the device you can check that all three ttyUSB devices are now created.

Software configuration
The HUAWEI E220 adapter works as a modem and relies on PPP to establish a connection. One can use any PPP management program. Several GUI programs are available for both KDE and Gnome. In what follows I stick with a bare-bone approach.

ppp configuration
Just emerge the relevant software
emerge net-dialup/ppp
and create the following file which defines the connection parameters
File: /etc/ppp/peers/E220
/dev/ttyUSB0
460800
crtscts
modem
noauth
usepeerdns
defaultroute
noipdefault
debug
noccp
nobsdcomp
novj
user "irrelevant"
password "irrelevant"
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/chat-E220-pin || /usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/chat-E220-nopin'
Notice that we defined both an username and a password. Even if the values of these parameters are irrelevant, they presence seems to make the whole login procedure run smoother. Notice also that the previous file needs two chat scripts. This is due to the fact that the first time that the device is plugged in, one need to provide it the card PIN code. For subsequent connection this generate an error. Then create the needed scripts

File: /etc/ppp/chat-E220-pin
ABORT BUSY
ABORT ERROR
ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
REPORT CONNECT
TIMEOUT 10
"" "ATZ"
OK "AT+CPIN=pin"
OK AT+CGDCONT=1,"ip","internet"
OK "ATE1V1&D2&C1S0=0+IFC=2,2"
OK "AT+IPR=115200"
OK "ATE1"
TIMEOUT 60
"" "ATD*99***1#"
CONNECT \c
and

File: /etc/ppp/chat-E220-nopin
ABORT BUSY
ABORT ERROR
ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
REPORT CONNECT
TIMEOUT 10
"" "ATZ"
OK AT+CGDCONT=1,"ip","internet"
OK "ATE1V1&D2&C1S0=0+IFC=2,2"
OK "AT+IPR=115200"
OK "ATE1"
TIMEOUT 60
"" "ATD*99***1#"
CONNECT \c
where pin is the PIN of your card (typically a four digit code) and internet is the Access Point Name (APN) of the service you use (for instance mine is "web.omnitel.it"). If you don't know the Internet APN, ask your service provider.

At this point you should be able to start the PPP connection using
pon E220
and stop it with
poff E220
DNS problem
I've noticed that The first time it is invoked, the connection script generate wrong names for the DNS servers. The same behaviour is reported here here. If this is the case for you too, probably it is better to realy on some external DNS service. An excellent solution is provided by the Open DNS project. Simply remove from /usr/ppp/peers/E220 the option usepeerdns. Then, edit your /etc/resolv.conf and just add these lines somewhere near the top
#Open DNS server
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
If you have several network device configured, however, it is likely that your /etc/resolv.conf get overwritten by the system. In this case the safest approach is to cinfigure the DNS server in /etc/conf.d/net. Assuming the name of your interface is ppp0 add the following lines at the end of the file
config_ppp0=( "ppp" )
dns_servers_ppp0=( "208.67.222.222" "208.67.220.220")
in this way a correct /etc/resolv.conf is generated automatically when the interface is switched on.

The rules of survival: Data Recovery Basics

Emergency file recovery requires more than the correct tool, though. It requires knowing how file deletion occurs, and what you have to do to maximize the chances of a successful recovery.

When a file is deleted from your computer, its contents aren’t immediately destroyed. Windows simply marks the hard drive space as being available for use by changing one character in the file table so that the file entry won’t be displayed in My Computer or a commandline DIR command, etc. If you manage to start an undeletion process before Windows uses that part of the hard drive to write a new file, all you have to do is set that flag back to “on,” and you get the file. Pretty cool, yeah?

Obviously, the sooner you try to restore a file, the more successful you’ll be. But stop a moment and think about the other things that could cause this part of the hard drive to be overwritten. If your hard drive is pretty full, the odds are much greater that Windows will grab your precious unallocated space for its next write. Or, if you defrag the hard drive, you run the risk of unused parts of the drive being overwritten! (This also means that if you are running silent background defrag services like Diskeeper, or if you have defrag utilities scheduled to defrag automatically, you might get blindsided — lose your chance at data recovery — if you don’t halt them until you have your deleted file recovered.

NOTE: This risk from defragging is not necessarily as severe as I previously thought. For example, on one test with a half-full C: partition, I had 8,926 recoverable files before a defrag, and 8,915 recoverable files after. Nonetheless, it’s a good thing I didn’t want to recover the 11 files that were lost in the process!

For that matter, simply starting up Windows or, to a lesser extent, shutting down Windows causes many tiny files to be written. You really want to avoid these processes if at all possible.

So the first rule is: STOP USING THAT COMPUTER IMMEDIATELY! THIS MINUTE! RIGHT NOW! Use another computer to get the recovery tool you will need.

This is also one of the places where well-planned partitioning of your hard drive has a huge advantage. Partitions physically mark off different parts of the hard drive. If, for example, you have your data and program files on their own separate partitions, and it’s a data file that you want to recover (which is usually the case), then Windows startup or shutdown won’t touch that part of the hard drive. If you have the swapfile / pagefile on its own partition, and all of your directories for temporary files on another, then these most-changing and most-written files also will be kept from overwriting the part of the drive holding the files you want to recover. However, if you take that 80 GB hard drive and make it all one big single C: partition, then you run the risk of making your file unrecoverable anytime the swapfile resizes, or any time Windows writes a temporary file of any kind... and this could be pretty much at any moment whatsoever! Partitioning gives enormous advantage in file recovery.

How To Install Apache + PHP + MySQL

Installation is similar on other Linux distributions. The tutorial below covers two approaches. The first discussed is downloading and installing packages. How to use Apache's DSO Module is discussed second.

This tutorial was written for the abstract versions. For complete information regarding installation, especially if there are new versions released, you should read the install notes for each of the packages.

This tutorial assumes you are running Linux and it is installed properly. For help with installing and configuring Linux check out some of the related links at the bottom of this page.

Download the Packages

First download the required packages to a directory. If you are running a different platform be sure to download the appropiate files for your platform:

Extract the Apache and PHP package into that directory using

# tar xfz apache_1.3.14.tar.gz
# tar xfz php_4.0.3pl1.tar.gz

Note: The pound sign # is the system prompt. You type in only what is after it .

Installing MySQL

MySQL is easiest to install on Red Hat systems using the RPM packages. To install MySQL in the same directory as the RPM packages use the command:
# rpm -Uvh *.rpm

Note: You most likely need to do this as the root user. Either log in or su to root.

After MySQL is installed you need to set the root password. To do this use the following commanding changing my_password to the password you want for the root user to access MySQL.

# mysqladmin -u root password 'my_password'

Note: If the MySQL service is not running, you may have to start it by hand before trying to set the password. It should start automatically when the computer boots. The command to start MySQL is:

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start

You can test the MySQL installation by doing the following:

# mysql mysql (connect to mysql database)
Enter Password:
mysql> SELECT * FROM user; (grab some data out of user table)

This should return the data in the user table. Type exit to leave.

Installing Apache with PHP

Apache with PHP can be installed a few different ways. One way is to statically embed the PHP binary into the Apache binary. This is probably the fastest and best way to run PHP. You can also install PHP as a DSO module

Here are the step by step directions to install Apache and PHP in the directory /usr/local/apache

In Apache src directory (apache_1.3.14/)
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache


In PHP src directory (php-4.0.3pl1/)
# ./configure --with-mysql \
--with-xml \
--enable-track-vars \
--with-apache=../apache_1.3.14 \

# make
# make install

In Apache src directory (apache_1.3.14)
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--enable-module=rewrite \
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a

# make
# make install

This will install Apache in the /usr/local/apache directory. The only thing left to do is to configure them.

Configuring Apache and PHP

To configure PHP copy php.ini-dist which is in the PHP src directory to /usr/local/lib/php.ini Edit this file setting the options you wish, generally nothing needs to be edited. However, you can set various options such as a default MySQL username and password.

To configure Apache edit /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf and set the your document directory and any other Apache settings you may want. To enable Apache and PHP to work together the following line needs to be added:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Look for this line or something similar already in the httpd.conf file and replace it with the above. Make sure to remove the # comment mark.

After editing the config file you need to restart Apache. The command to restart Apache is:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Need file recovery? Or hard drive data recovery software?

There is some usefull recovery software:

1. Recover My Files data recovery software will easily recover deleted files emptied from the Windows Recycle Bin, or lost due to the format or corruption of a hard drive, virus or Trojan infection, unexpected system shutdown or software failure.



Download and try Recover My Files software Free!

Recover My Files data recovery software will find any type of file, but includes specific support for more than 200 file types in the following broad categories:

* Recover deleted email
* Recover deleted documents
* Recover deleted archives
* Digital Photo recovery
* Recover deleted music and video

Recover My Files is compatible with Windows 98/ME/2000/2003/XP and Vista and works with FAT 12, FAT 16, FAT 32, NTFS and NTFS5 file-systems.

With a deleted file the data content of the file is rarely destroyed. Even if Windows file reference information has been destroyed, this data recovery software scans the data at a low level to locate "Lost Files" by their internal file structure. This allows Recover My Files to recover deleted files that other data recovery software can never know exist.

2. PC Inspector File Recovery



Even when a file's header entry is no longer available, PC Inspector File Recovery can recover the file. The program lets you save recovered files on network drives. It recovers files with the original time and date stamp, so maybe it'll be like nothing ever happened.

Operating Systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 9.x, Windows Me, Windows XP

It can find partitions automatically, even if the boot sector or FAT has been erased or damaged. It can recover files with the orginal time and date stamp. It can recover files even when the header entry is no longer available. It supports a variety of formats, including those created by compressed and archiving programs.

3. Restoration

Restoration is a free program that can scan your hard drive, floppy diskette or USB thumb drive and find files that have been deleted (Windows doesn't actually destroy files that you delete: it just marks the space they occupy as being available). It can then recover any recently deleted files it finds with a single mouse click.



You can filter the results if you know the name of the file you are looking for, which is much easier than wading through the list of the hundreds of deleted files it usually finds (including temporary files, cached Web files, etc).

Restoration doesn't need to be installed to work. Just keep the program on a floppy or an optical disc and pop it into the drive and run it when you need it (This approach also prevents your accidentally overwriting the deleted file). Although the program has not been updated since 2004, it still worked well in my informal tests and it recovered several files that I had deleted without problems. Download Restoration

4. VirtualLab Data Recovery Software



There must be fifty ways to lose your data. Whether you accidentally formatted your drive, deleted a folder, or got wrecked by a virus, this program can reunite you with your data. It connects to a powerful recovery server and uses artificial intelligence to compare your scenario to previous data recovery sessions. It works with FAT 12, FAT 16, FAT 32, and NTFS file-systems. It can find the disappearing data from Jaz disks, Zip disks, and digital camera media as well as from a hard drive.

Note: The program itself is free, but there is a charge for the use of the data recovery server. Costs vary with amount of data to be recovered.

How to configure DNS in Windows Server 2003

Step 1: Configure TCP/IP
1. Click Start, point to Control Panel, point to Network Connections, and then click Local Area Connection.
2. Click Properties.
3. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
4. Click the General tab.
5. Click Use the following IP address, and then type the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address in the appropriate boxes.
6. Click Advanced, and then click the DNS tab.
7. Click Append primary and connection specific DNS suffixes.
8. Click to select the Append parent suffixes of the primary DNS suffix check box.
9. Click to select the Register this connection's addresses in DNS check box.
10. Click OK three times.

NOTE: If you receive a warning from the DNS Caching Resolver service, click OK to dismiss the warning. The caching resolver is trying to contact the DNS server, but you have not finished configuring the server.

Step 2: Install Microsoft DNS Server
1. Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
2. Click Add or Remove Windows Components.
3. In the Components list, click Networking Services (but do not select or clear the check box), and then click Details.
4. Click to select the Domain Name System (DNS) check box, and then click OK.
5. Click Next.
6. When you are prompted, insert the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM into the computer's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
7. On the Completing the Windows Components Wizard page, click Finish when Setup is complete.
8. Click Close to close the Add or Remove Programs window.

Step 3: Configure the DNS Server
To configure DNS by using the DNS snap-in in Microsoft Management Console (MMC), follow these steps:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS.
2. Right-click Forward lookup zones, and then click New Zone
3. When the New Zone Wizard starts, click Next.

You are prompted for a zone type. The zone types include:

  • Primary zone: Creates a copy of a zone that can be updated directly on this server. This zone information is stored in a .dns text file.
  • Secondary zone: A standard secondary zone copies all of the information from its master DNS server. A master DNS server can be an Active Directory, primary, or secondary zone that is configured for zone transfers. Note that you cannot modify the zone data on a secondary DNS server. All of its data is copied from its master DNS server.
  • Stub zone: A Stub zone contains only those resource records that are necessary to identify the authoritative DNS servers for that zone. Those resource records include Name Server (NS), Start of Authority (SOA), and possibly glue Host (A) records.
There is also an option to the store zone in Active Directory. This option is only available if the DNS server is a Domain controller.
4. The new forward lookup zone must be a primary or an Active Directory-integrated zone so that it can accept dynamic updates. Click Primary, and then click Next.
5. The new zone contains the locator records for this Active Directory-based domain. The name of the zone must be the same as the name of the Active Directory-based domain, or be a logical DNS container for that name. For example, if the Active Directory-based domain is named "support.microsoft.com", valid zone names are "support.microsoft.com" only.

Accept the default name for the new zone file. Click Next.

NOTE: Experienced DNS administrators may want to create a reverse lookup zone, and are encouraged to explore this branch of the wizard. A DNS server can resolve two basic requests: a forward lookup and a reverse lookup. A forward lookup is more common. A forward lookup resolves a host name to an IP address with an "A" or Host Resource record. A reverse lookup resolves an IP address to a host name with a PTR or Pointer Resource record. If you have your reverse DNS zones configured, you can automatically create associated reverse records when you create your original forward record.
