iPhone AT&T Unlock

[Pooky]

If I were to say buy this: link (http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-iPhone-3GS-16GB-3-1-AT-T-BLACK-Video-3G-MINT-3-2M_W0QQitemZ190340233151QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCell_Ph ones?hash=item2c512977bf#ht_4500wt_1165)

Would I be able to unlock it for use on our networks?

[Schwartz]

!!NO!!

It has to be on 3.0.1 or earlier! With the 3.1 update they updated the base band which stops unlocking(for now at least)

Oh darn. So can I downgrade the firmware and then unlock?

It's best to avoid locked iPhones, it's not worth it anymore. You can get a good deal for a local unlocked iPhone if you keep a look out. I got a brand new 8gb 3G vodacom stock for just R3500 thanks to a fellow forumite.

Yeah I guess, it's just that that one is a 3gs...... :)

But I will be happy with any iPhone. :)

These two sites I think can unlock the 3GS on 3.1, my dad's used the one program on his 2G iPhone and says it worked perfectly. Try these two sites :

http://www.iphoneunlockuk.com/

and

http://www.iphoneunlocking.com/

The second is one is a lot cheaper has anyone used it before ?

So that will work? Sweet!

nate are you 100% sure that will work? Did your dad unlock it on 3.1? Why would these guys have it and not the Dev team? they could just steal the code then!?

These guys say both sites are scams:

Ya , they probably just use all the things that you get for free and then charge you for it. I do know that my dad got his phone unlocked using them before the dev team released their unlock for 3.0 ...

SCAM! We have mentioned these sites often in the iPhone Tips/Tricks/Threads app..

Don't use them. There are only 3 guys on the scene, DevTeam, ChronicDev and GeoHot for now - none of these guys sell their tools.

Do not get a locked iPhone - they are not worth the mission! Apple keeps patching the exploits all the time - rather settle for a unlocked one!

Hi
I am totally new to the iPhone. Yesterday a friend of mine brought me a new iPhone 3 GS 3.0.1 locked to AT&T from the US and I tried to jailbrake/unlock it with redsn0w. Unfortunately after following all the instructions, something went wrong and the phone seems now in recovery mode (does not switch on) but ask for a restore when connected to my Mac Book Pro in iTunes 9.0.1.
I have read many postings about not restoring via iTunes and what I am trying to do otherwise does not work.
Can someone help me, please?
I am in Gordon's Bay.

I have now managed to build a custom ipsw 3.12 and restore it with iTunes. However my pay-as-you-go MTN sim card does not seem to be recognized. On top left there is only ... and I do not see MTN as a carrier nowhere. Should I do something else?

[Schwartz]

^go into Cydia and go manange-sources-edit-add-"http://repo.ultrasn0w.com"
then reboot.

The 0 in sn0w is a zero!

How did you do that?

I bought a second hand Iphone. I was not aware it was jailbroken. I reseted the darn thing as all his stuff was still on there. It failed to start, I googled and teh only solution I found was restoring the darn thing via itunes. Did that, now I'm sitting with a darn locked Iphone. Great

Dont worry, Nov 4th BlackSn0w will be released :)

Ok since it is on 3.0.1, do not upgrade to the latest firmware as this will lock the phone until Nov 4th when blacksn0w is released for the new baseband - http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=5840

This is one of the best guides you are going to find to jailbreak/unlock your phone.

Jailbreak (required before unlock) - http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=4448

Unlock - http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=4253

In order to try and kick it out of recovery mode:

1) Download iREB
Windows (http://microfuries.com/iH8Sn0w%20-%20iREB%20V3.1-2%20For%20Windows.zip)
Mac (http://ih8sn0w.jaredp.info/%5BMAC%5D%20iH8sn0w%20-%20iREB%20V2.2.zip)

2) Connect your iPhone, close iTunes and click ""Fix Recovery Mode Loop" button in iREB.

3) If you can start up your iPhone again, follow the iClarified jailbreak and unlock guide step-by-step.

Also, worth a mention, do not use blackra1n on your iPhone as it is NOT for locked iPhones..

Today is your lucky day.. In 2hrs 40minutes, Blacksn0w will be released to unlock the new baseband :)

http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com/

Is your iPhone the 2G/3G or 3GS?

If it's a 3G/3GS then just run the program and it will activate it and unlock it for you :) No need for an AT&T SIM.

If 2G, then there are other ways..

download and run it with your iphone connected but itunes closed.
Takes 15 seconds.

Then go in to blackra1n on your iphone and install cydia and blacksn0w
