I've got an Iphone 3G updated to 4.0.1 and I did jailbreak it and unlock the network, but now when I open the Itunes I found a mandatory update for the carrier setting. My question is if i update it will I lose the jailbreak and the network will lock again?
Most people are just jumping into jailbreaking without looking through the other threads...IF YOU JAILBREAK YOUR IPHONE 4, YOU WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO USE FACETIME AND MMS UNTIL THERE IS A FIX.EDIT: Okay, not for EVERYBODY, but many people are reporting it, including myself. Don't believe me? Search "MMS" or "FaceTime" in Twitter.
Will I lose contacts, photos or text messages when i change the sim from one carrier to another? I am about to move it to Telstra from Vodafone and I'm worried that when I remove the sim card I will lose contacts, photos, music. I use all of this for work and will die if I lose it all.
My SI no is 1247-8404. I am from India. I haven't purchased this phone from India.If ics update is based on network carrier and country then why am I not getting this update?Let me know if 1247-8404 is in your update list, I can't wait long and 1247-8404 belongs to which country?
I've bought a second hand UK iPhone 4s locked to O2 and I'm heading back to the United States in the morning. I need to unlock it to use my American sim, and wondered if I use the apple auth unlock system whether it' matters where in the world you are.
Ok so i updated my iPhone to last OS.. what happend? since the update it wont let me use any SIM card, i went to the carrier and they told me its a "Parameter" problem that happened when i updated it but my iPhone lost warranty.. im going again tomorrow cause its a carrier or hardware problem they told me that on an apple store today and they said that they have to help me with that but in case of getting my solicitacion rejected..
im am currently living in australia an have purchased an iphone 4s of gum tree and not realising it is locked by an American network called verizion, how can i unlock the iphone so i can use it here in Australia
I noticed when I update my profile on my n5 I will lose network data until I switch network data off and back on. It only happens after I update the profile the prl is fine.
The first indication of something wrong was the issue where my Droid 3 began connecting to my network extender only with 1x. But, the problem was worse than that, because it would then connect to a distant, weak tower for 3G. It would lose signal, then switch back to the network extender, where it would lose 3G once again and fall back to 1x. (How do I know it was swapping to a distant tower?the network extender team diagnosed it while I was on a phone call with them and told me they were seeing it do it live on their screens).
They "did something" (I don't know know what that something was), and it seemed to clear up for a while.Then, it came back. Another call to their network extender group, and they "upped the power" of the extender and the problem went away... for two weeks.Today, it started again. Only this time, it was doing the same behavior between two *actual* cell towers at work! The network extender wasn't in the mix, this time.My original Droid, Droid 2 Global, my son's Droid X and my wife's iPhone 4 all have NO problem with the extender (nor any other aspect of the service). This Droid 3 has failed in this manner three times, now.What's up, Moto? Can anything else fail with this phone? Camera blows, keys repeat, social networking is flaky, and apparently it has issues maintaining 3G in some situations. What a miserable experience.
I'm planning on selling my Bold 9700 which is currently use on Fido, and a friend wants to buy it from me. He is also on Fido.Will I need to call Fido to get the my PIN release or can I just leave it since it is on the same carrier?
I left my phone at my desk, and when I remembered it had the battery drained. I tried to charge it and couldnt turn it on, then, the next morning it turned on but now it cannot join my network. It only says that is connected to SOS...
i currently have an iphone 3gs with 3.1.2 jailbroken. it was manufactured in week 29 of last year according to my serial number. does that mean i have the old boot rom/non MC-model? i know 3.1.3 has no new features. the only reason i have to update is because my cydia/apt is screwed up and the only way to fix it is to restore. itunes will not let me restore my 3.1.2 without updating (yes, i tried the shift/option button thing).i just want to know if i upgrade to 3.1.3, will i be able to jailbreak with snow breeze?p.s. i know i can upgrade and downgrade using saurik's method, but that's just too much work.
It took me all nite, but I was able to re-jailbreak my iPhone 3GS after I got stuck in reboot mode after a network reset and was forced to update to 3.1.3. This happened almost 3 weeks ago, and I not only lost my jailbreak, but all of the apps, photos and EVERYTHING that I had on my phone as after I did the update to 3.1.3 I could only set up my phone as a new device. Anyway, I searched online and I found all of the tools I needed to accomplish this task. I downloaded Redsn0w 0.9.2, BlackRa1n RC3, The 3.1.2 ispw firmware, and iRecovery. I also found a post on hacking the drivers folder in the Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts file in Windows that would allow 3.1.3 to be downloaded to 3.1.2. It took a couple of hours and some patience, but when all was said and done I was able to downgrade the firmware and re-jailbreak my phone.
I have an iPhone 3G which is currently jailbroken using QuickPWN. My firmware is version 2.2.1 with Modem Firmware 02.30.03.
Without the more recent 3.x.x firmware I cannot use some of the newer Apps which require this update.With all of the banter about preserving baseband and future unlock & jailbreaking what is the best way to update my firmware and re-jailbreak the phone?
i have an iphone 3G S, someone please answer me, i have an IPHONE 3GS, can i RESOTRE in ituens to a fresh 4.0 and then use pwnagetool 4.01 to jailbreak and then ultrasn0w to unlock? i dont know if its the old bootrom or the new one,it has baseband 05.12.01, i used ultrasn0w to unlock it and now its unlocked, i used SPIRIT to jailbreak it,I want to upgrade to firmware 4.0 right now,i read in the pwnage tool 4 notes that i cant restore with a custom firmware now because i jailbroke with spirit,so please tell me , how would i update to 4.0 and jailbreak and unlock?
I Jailbroke my iPhone using Redsnow 0.9.5 when firmware 4.0 first came out and all went well.Since that time, i have jailbroken a buddy of mine's iPhone, and i saw that the software has changed from "0.9.5" to --> "0.9.5b5-5"
I'm thinking there must of been something in the jailbreak software that they changed if they created another update to it, and I'd like my iPhone to be as up to date with jailbreak software as possible.
To re-Jailbreak it with 0.9.5b5-5 am I going to have take my jailbreak off, which consists of restoring my iPhone and losing everything, including everything I have downloaded from Cydia. or could I just re-run the jailbreak software, on my already already jailbroken iPhone and it just patch and overwrite the existing jailbreak. or would it double the jailbreak software onto my iPhone?
I updated my facebook app on my iphone 4 and 3gs. after update it cannot connect to facebook. im not sure if its the jailbreak or the unlock from ultrasn0w.
Can anyone provide me with some guidance on how to update to the iOS4 plateform and keep my jailbreak? I am using an iPhone 3GS on 3.1.2 JB with old bootrom
I had a BB 8900 Curve which i replaced yesterday with a Bold 9000 and now cannot register the device on the carrier network. Calls etc are fine, just BIS will not. My previous 8900 worked fine? I have been on the phone with the carrier the entire day and they have not been able to resolve it. All i did was change the device in the BIS website and now it is broken.
I was wondering that if I were to purchase apps such as BiteSMS and Lockinfo, what would happen if I restored my phone to update and then did another jailbreak? Would I have to repurchase the apps?
Everytime I update my iphone4s operating system, the iphone becomes useless, my pc says "can't find drivers" - I use windows vista.To get round this, I use another machine with itunes on, restore my phone to factory settings and then go back and restore using my original pc.maybe it's because I am currently using windows!
I haven't read anything lately regarding the problem jailbroken phones have when runinng the last Skype update, in regards to multitasking and background support.
Are there any news? Is it due to mobile substrate? I'm just curious since I haven't seen any talk about this.
