Just got a brand new 32gb iphone 3gs from apple on warranty because of problems with my old phone.I haven't put my sim in yet. Just comes up with the screen that says "install a sim card to activate".I have an att sim card to use if need be.I want to jailbreak and unlock this phone.How do I see what bootrom I have?What steps do I take to jailbreak with ios4? Or should I stick with 3.1.3?
View 12 RepliesWell today I went and got my brand new iPhone 3GS. Plugged it in. Followed all the Pwnagetool guides to the T and when I get to the very last part, I got error message 1600, unable to restore. Surfing around I believe that my iPhone can not be jailbroken? Is that the case? iPhone just gets stuck in DFU or recovery mode and have to restore the iPhone with original apple firmware. On the last try I got a completely black screen and the iPhone only came back to life when I restored it with apple software. Any help is appreciated. I think because I have the lastest bootrom or loader I can not jailbreak as Pwnage tool doesnt support it yet. DAMN! I wanted Proswitcher and Backgrounder.
View 24 Replies View RelatedI have received a brand new 3gs from apple yesterday, and it does in fact have the new bootrom and of course it came pre loaded with the 3.1.3 software , I have been reading all over that you can jailbreak but it is tethered, and then I have also heard that you can not jailbreak So I am confused.. Can I, or Can I NOT jailbreak?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI live in Europe and my factory unlocked iPhone 3GS developed a fault, my wife is in the USA at the moment and has taken it to an Apple store who have swapped it for a new one but of course it will now be locked to AT&T.My question is can I unlock an iPhone before it is activated? Then once unlocked can I activate it using my local providers SIM or should I get my Wife to take it to AT&T for activation before she leaves USA in a couple of days time? Should I get an AT&T pay as you go sim card so that it it recognised by my iTunes? Also do you have to jailbreak before unlocking? I do not know which firmware version it will be but assume it will be 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 (I know there are issues with unlocking 3.1.3 at the moment but I can wait if necessary).

Well I synced my phone today, haven't synced in a week or so, and now I have no contacts. The contacts on my phone are gone, so I checked my computer and they are gone there as well.
When I synced it did pop up the window that says more than 10% of the contacts will be changed or anything. Is there ANYTHING I can do to get them back?
This is a total failure as far as i'm concerned with Ituned/iPhone. This is unacceptable.

When I try to delete it on my phone it doesn't allow me, and its not in my itunes. The album appears when I connect my phone to my PC. I want these songs deleted but I dont know how? I've tried taking all my songs off my phone, everything is removed but this U2 album remains?

I've read many conflicting articles. Can it be jailbroken yet? It's a brand new phone and has 3.1.3 installed on it.

I found that mine has a few tiny dust under the screen and i have made an appointment at Genius Bar. When i get there could i ask them for the brand new iphone 4s instead of a refurb like many people said. Cos i don't want to spend my money on a refurb one.

I returned my iphone 4s on Saturday for a new one because the camera on the old one won't work. I came home and synced and updated the new one. The new one will not hold a charge from fully charged for more than 3 hours. The upgrades to the new phone took over an hour. Why won't the new phone hold a charge?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI will be going overseas soon to Asia and a friend over there is requesting we get him an iPhone 3Gs and he will pay us back when there.Now, my friend over here, his sister just received an iPhone 3GS. She does not want it. It was a gift from an admirer and won't take it back. They are now going to just sell it and take the money.So my current situation is this, I currently have the iPhone box, sealed at my house. The box displays IMEI and some other information stuff. What I don't know is if the phone was bought from a carrier like Rogers/Fido or from a reseller store or something. The friend overseas would like the phone to be brand new and sealed. Also he would like the phone unlocked so he can use it.Problem, is there a way to find out through IMEI or somewhere on box to figure out if the phone was bought from a carrier? I've never bought an iPhone from Rogers/Fido so don't know if there'd be a logo or something somwhere on box. As of now there are no indications somewhere saying it is from a carrier. My friend over here also thinks it was not bought at a carrier. We can't really ask the original guy who bought it because of whatever issues too.So yeah, if anyone knows if its really easy to figure this out or something, please let me know.

I just purchased an iPhone 3GS. It came with iOS5 preinstalled. I haven't been able to make it go into silent mode. Is there some setting I need to switch?
In my 1st generation iPhone, all I had to do was flip the switch on the side of the iPhone, so that the orange dot would be seen, and it would display the crossed bell graphic and go into silent mode.
When I flip the switch on the iPhone 3GS, nothing happens. It still makes noise when it rings. I tried toggling the setting in "Sounds" which said "Change with Buttons", but the switch still doesn't work. Toggling this setting seems to affect whether the "speaker" graphic is on screen when I press the volume buttons.
It seems that there is no way I can get the ringer switch to do anything. Is there anyway to make this work? Or have I received a defective unit? =S

I have just received my iPhone 4S, activated the SIM and done the basic set up. It has some battery charge from factory. What is the best practice for charging the new battery.
1. Let this charge run down completely first and then recharge?
2. Charge up to full now?
