Baseband version page name format

I think we had a discussion on the format of the baseband version we use for the links / pages here and if I remember correctly we decided to use the format of the version how it is displayed. I can see on this page that for iPhone until about iPhone 4 many modem versions have leading zeroes, but all the rest hasn't. Are these pages just not fixed yet or do they really display the modem version like that? I think I removed one of the leading zeroes on at least one page in the last days (on a baseband chip page I think), so we should know what is correct now. --http (talk) 01:07, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, the baseband actually reports that. Also, the file names are named that way also. --5urd (talk) 01:09, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, the newer baseband chips don't have the leading zero. The "cutoff area" seems to be when Apple switched to Qualcomm basebands. --Dialexio (talk) 04:32, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Ah, then we should be fine. And I also found my change, but that was probably correct. --http (talk) 08:05, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Unlock column.

I think we should delete the unlock column because, for ultrasn0w, it can work on any iOS as long as the baseband is correct as it can be preserved. Also, there are IMEI unlocks and gevey etc. Let me know what you think. I have asked 5urd on Twitter but also wanted to know what others thought. iAdam1n (talk) 17:02, August 3, 2013 (PDT)

I'm for this. I think we should move the information to the key pages for the device. It shouldn't be too hard to implement into the template. --5urd (talk) 00:05, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. I think it'd be a bit more fitting on the baseband device's page (e.g. X-Gold 608) though. --Dialexio (talk) 16:21, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

I have moved these to Unlock. --iAdam1n (talk) 18:01, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

iPhone Prototype Filesize.

Where was this info found from? It is bigger than the iPhone 1.0 IPSW. Are we sure it is correct as there is no download? --iAdam1n (talk) 21:31, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

I have a copy of the file, and can confirm that's the size of it. --5urd (talk) 01:27, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Table of contents

Is there any particular reason that this page doesn't use a MediaWiki-generated table of contents? I'm genuinely curious about this. --Dialexio (talk) 22:57, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I remember doing that. Look at Beta Firmware's TOC. Notice how it lists every variant? I manually created this one so it only shows the "main" device, not every variant. --5urd (talk) 21:42, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
