Updating iPhone to iOS 4 in Vmware

While updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4, I encountered an error on iTunes saying that my iPhone could not be updated. My phone went into recovery mode after that. This is not the first time I’m doing restore and update with Vmware, so I’m pretty surprise why the update process failed.

I missed out something important in my previous post on the native tethering on Linux. Turns out my tethering works only after I kick off the tether from Windows (Which resides in a VM on my machine). Further digging led me to the following site.

Linux to IPhone Tethering In 5 Mins

Tethering from a mobile phone is not new to me. I started from the days of having to script the ppp chat scripts to wvdial to finally having Network Manager recognizing my mobile phone as a 3G modem.
IPhone is new. I have been reading about tethering on Linux as soon as I bought it. Painful [...]

Certificate Error When Building Your First IPhone App?

Code Sign error: The identity ‘iPhone Developer’ doesn’t match any valid certificate/private key pair in the default keychain
Before you start googling and attempt to move certificates all over, or spend $99 [...]
