A Guide To Turning your HTC 8125 Wizard into an iPhone

 

A Guide To Doing The iPhone Thing To A HTC Wizard / Cingular 8125

Alright, to be honest, one of the biggest mistake I have made is perhaps making a video of the iPhone Mod on my HTC Wizard and put it up on YouTube. I did not even imagine the number of emails I would receive about it. Since, I am not the kind of person who just ignores what help people ask, I have decided to make this guide modifying Jenny’s guide, which seems to have some problems with novice users.

Before you proceed, please understand the fact that I DO NOT have the Wizard anymore. PDA’s are not my thing, though they are fun. To be honest, I actually don’t even have a cellular line anymore — can’t affort $50 dollars a month being an international student paying almost 15 grand to a Liberal Arts college here. But who needs a cell phone when there is Facebook, right? Nevermind.

So, here is the guide and please forgive me if I am off on a few things because I am writing this guide when I do not have the phone anymore. If you come across ANY problems, please do not email me, just post comments and I will reply to each one of you individually! I promise.

Alright, that being said, without further ado, here it goes.

Before you begin, you need to download a software pack released by Jenny of HackerAddict. That version does have a few issues with the XML version and the scrollbar though. So, I have modified it for the HTC Wizard / Cingular 8125 and Tested it.

Things you need before you begin:

1. Windows XP
2. WinRAR (Download Here)
