Battery Replacement v1 iPhone

[oldimac]

Tried searching about batteries but I only get an error message.

Have v1 iPhone hacked to T-Mobile (no ATT where I live).

Got the iPhone in April 2008 (refurb from ATT in New Hampshire - 8gb). Phone has been a winner even after no less than 3 three foot drops - Seido case) but now the battery is giving out.

When I send it to Apple for battery replacement, what will I get back in terms of my info and the hack to T-Mobile?

Thanks for any civil answer

if you still have applecare you can call them up and have them send you the lable/box to send it in. but remember to restore the phone before sending it in

Check with a 3rd party repair service, if you are out of warranty. It would be tough to get Apple to work on it if it's JB/UL and it would be tough to return it to factory specs on AT&T's network.....

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll try a third party. Any recommendations for 3rd party battery replacements or is that allowed?

Thanks

If I were you I'd get it done by Apple, but this looks reasonable. $20 too

Can't he just restore it and send it to apple? And then once he gets it back, jailbreak and unlock it again?
