New Zealand daylights savings update for iPhone

This year New Zealand has changed its daylight savings time to start a week earlier. Notably Mac OS X hadn't been updated in time for the event, however a 3rd party patch was kindly produced by Glenn Anderson. Following in the same vein I have produced the following fix for New Zealand iPhone users.

This fix updates the iPhone (firmware version 1.0.2) to the latest available timezone information (2007g).

Please note: This process has been tested, however you use these instructions and files at your own risk; I accept no responsibility for any problems.

OpenSSH is no longer required to be installed on your iPhone as the fix now uses the Installer application.

Instructions

If you have manually set your iPhone clock an hour forward, set it back now.

This update is only for iPhones with the 1.0.2 firmware. Don't proceed if you have a different firmware version.

Updating the timzone information unfortunately may mess with some appointments entered into the calendar on your phone for the week September 30 - October 7. You've possibly also entered appointments into your Mac when the timezone information wasn't correct so it's a big old melting pot! I recommend noting down the time of appointments so you can correct if necessary.

You should probably update the timezone information on your Mac, if you haven't already. See Glenn Anderson's patch.

You must have the Installer application installed to apply this update. On your iPhone open Safari and navigate to http://xk72.com/iphone/repos. It will prompt you to install a new AppTapp installer source - install the new source.

Open the Installer application; you should see the NZDT 2007 update application listed in the Featured section. Install the NZDT 2007 update application and then restart your iPhone, and your timezone will now be correct.

The time shown on your iPhone will now be the correct time.

Now you need to power down and restart your iPhone for the change to take effect.
