Anyone wanna shoot a copy my way?
Since you don't seem to be able to do much with the device anyway, try using this version of redsn0w and point to an iOS 4 ipsw.
Will do! I have a iOS 4.0 on my MacBook here that I will try. Thanks.

You should tweet the dev team or some of the hackers that work on jailbreaks, maybe they could help?

This is probably my favorite thread here. I hope you can score the firmware that was shown by tinthe (sp?) that showed an Exposé-like multitasking interface!

Yeah I'll give that a shot. the chances of them paying any attention to me is minimal though.
I think I might have some old betas
If you could send me some that would be awesome.

I have a feeling the software on it is something interesting. All the logos are that it will show are pixelated....

I got tweeted by geohot (back when he had a Twitter) and two members of the Dev Team before. It's not that hard to get a response off them, especially with something like a prototype iPhone in your possession.

Tweet Dev Team/someone in the jailbreak community, they'll almost certainly be able extract the software for you.

Anyway, at the very least I can thank you for the entertainment I got from reading this thread. Good luck with getting it going. :)

Thanks for the tips guys! :)
 
Phone has been sold to someone who can use it for good, instead of me just having it. Thanks for following the thread guys. It's been fun :)
