-   hey, guys hello my emai is juniorfaour@gmail.com well I understand all the process of JATT22 but only one thing how can we access the ipaddress of the iphone thru the settings wifi when the top part of the iphone wont work and I cant make my way into it at all. Isnt there a manual way connected to the computer that we can actually go into the root menu and do what we caan to bring up the sensitivity so the top part of the iphone can work?
I m hoping for some one to reply Thanks Alot and good luck to all. -   Guest

I tried solution on Unlocked 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 versions. Just follow the steps they have been explained really easy way. Dont think this is too hard. Just follow them it will work:
1) download WinSCP on your PC (google it) and run the application
2) download new general.plist file (google it) on laptop
3) download OpenSSH on your iphone (it will not show on iphone but its there so dont worry)
4) connect the laptop and iphone through the same wireless network.
5) write the ipaddress of the iphone from(Settings>Wifi>network details to which you are connected to shows you the ipaddress)
6) Goto laptop on WinSCP type the ipaddress of the iphone in host name field and username: root and password: alpine and then hit Login.
7) it will open like an explorer view of your iphone files on laptop then click on root on the left side. then Click Applications> preferences> replace the general.plist file with the one you downloaded. you have Done the major part.
Now unplug iphone click Settings> General>Touch and reduce the senstivity to 0. 0 gives you the highest touch sensitivity.
9) Now be happy it works….
If you have questions reply to me with your email address i will reply back

I have firmware 1.1.4, and the dock portion on my iPhone is dead. i have like a millimeter of space to only slide to unlock and answer calls (only if the lock is on) with the slider but other than that nothing on the bottom works. i know what i have to do and Ive installed SMSD, boss pref, and text edit on the phone, but how (like exact step by step) to i fix this problem. I would be GREATLY appreciative if someone told me how to do it my email is charon_simmons@yahoo.com and i check it ALL THE TIME so email me at anytime with the solutiuon thanks in advance
