IPhone :: Jailbroken Unlocked 3G - Sim Is Not Supported - ITunes
Feb 5, 2010
I have an iphone 3G Modem firmware 02.28.00 t was jailbroken for me by a friend in UK when brand new. I don’t know which prog was used but I have Cydia and Installer and also a pineapple logo when I reboot. I think there is a sourse app.yellowsn0w in my Cydia too. I don't remember. Anyway, I am abroad now for a year and not going back to UK straight away so I need help here if you can. I have never updated the phone software again after that. Never had any problems until today. As usual, had my MacBook software update done(iTunes was updated too – maybe that's the problem?) and then connected my iphone.
Got the message “SIM is not supported blah, blah, blah…” The phone is working fine otherwise. Calls, texts and everything else are not affected. The only thing is that I can’t update my music, pics, contacts and calendars Please advise what to do. Should I update my iphone Modem firmware? I know that newer software is better but I am worried that I won’t be able to do everything correctly and might block my iphone to “unusable” state. All I want is a minimum of changes – just to get the iphone to upload music, pics, contacts and calendars. If you believe that I should update the Modem firmware – I really want to have all the latest features – please tell me how and what firmware to update to(what’s unlockable now?), what programs to use and everything else. I have been told that I need to "hacktivate" in order to unlock and to be able to sync with iTunes. Can I just unlock without any more jailbreaking? And I must have the required software on my iphone already if it was jailbroken, right?

So my iphone 3g 8gb is having wifi problems, and I wanna take it to the apple store to get it fixed/replaced. The problem is, I am NOT on att, but t-mobile. So how would I show the Apple Geniuses my wifi problem without having my iphone jailbroken/unlocked. Since I am not on att, I cannot restore and activate the phone without jailbreaking it. How would I show them my wifi problem if all I have is the "Connect to iTunes to activate" screen? Or should I just take it in "hacktivated"/jailbroken?

I have the UNLOCKED iPhone and the following are the facts:
Model: 3Gs
iBoot-359.3.2
Jailbroken: Blackra1n
Firmware: 3.1.2
I wish to ask - can I upgrade to IOS 4.0.2 using iTunes officially and have my phone work normal? I am not so interested in pushing in Cydia apps and free apps but I want the phone to work normally.If this is not the solution, then can you recommend, how it can be done?I tried using Jailbreakme.com from my Safari on my iPhone but it simply kept restarting my phone.

I jailbroke my 3.1.2 3GS via BlackRa1n last night. I saw this AM there is a new iTunes ver 9.0.3. Do the JB iPhone and the new iTunes play nice together? Just wanted to make sure before I upgraded iTunes.

Has anyone ever developed software to be kind of like iTunes for syncing jailbroken apps? Pkgbackup can be used to back them up, but it would be nice to have visual evidence like iTunes gives you. I copied the folder for jailbroken apps to my Mac as an additional backup but that doesn't have the settings IIRC. I also used aptbackup for the settings, before you tell me that. I just wonder if anyone has put all this together to make something more visual.

I have a 3gs with OS4 on it, which i recently JB with the website method. I have downloaded apps onto my phone via installous and when i go to itunes and sync, it deletes all those apps. I have tried and stopping the sync, and then choosing: "Transfer purchases from" and it works with some of my jailbroken apps, but not all. The ones that dont transfer over to itunes dont stay on the phone.Also i noticed that all my folders on the phone disappear and i have to keep organizing all my applications (major pain).

I have a 3GS running OS 4.0 jailbroken with Pawnage tool. Everything seems normal except that iTunes is acting really weird when I try to synch my apps.When I plug my phone into iTunes and click on the "apps page", instead of seeing a screen shot of my iPhone showing all of the apps I have installed, iTunes shows a blank page. The wallpaper of my phone is displayed, but the rest of the phone is completely blank (no apps, not even the default apps or dock apps like the phone, iPod, email, SMS, calendar, etc). When I tried synching my phone, iTunes rearranged all of my paid apps in alphabetical order. I then rearranged them and tried synching again, only to find the iTunes had put them back into alphabetical order again. ITunes wouldn't recognize any of the folders that I created either. Each time I synched the phone, my folders would be deleted.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem? I read this article on MacWorld where the guy reviewing iOS 4 (and those who left comments) had the same problem with their stock (unjailbroken) iPhone so, I think its a iTunes problem as opposed to a jailbreak problem.
From MacWorld article: "I did experience one issue where, after creating a number of folders in iTunes, and then syncing my iPhone with iTunes, all the folders disappeared and my apps were rearranged (on the phone) in alphabetical order—an incident that required quite a bit of time and effort to recover from."

i got this iphone 3g from a friend. He got it for the US from another person. We have no idea what the carrier is or if its factory unlocked or not. The phone was not jailbroken or anything. Then one day my friend updated his iphone 3g to the ios 4.1 which also upgraded his baseband to 06.15.00 so the phone is now locked and no sim here in Bahrain can be used. He asked me if i could unlock it for him so i tried to do so thinking i could use ultrasnow. I jailbroke it first using redsnow 09.6b2 and pointed it on its firmware 4.1 (from iclarified) when it asked for one and the jailbreak went through perfectly.
But then what he forgot to tell me was that there the wifi wasnt working on his phone. There would just be that thing circling next to the connecting to wifi but nothing would show up. So there is no way for me to get into cydia and get the ultrasnow right? So i read thru some forums here and found that the wifi thing is a bug with the ios4 when u update? So i thought of downgrading the phone instead to 3.1.3. When i tried to do that using the full restore where u shift click the restore button and select the 3.1.3 firmware, it was going okay it first but then i got a 1015 error in itunes that the phone cant be restored. So i did the recovery fix (which i was able to succesfully do to another friend's iphone) it almost worked with this one but i coouldnt connect to itunes after coz i get the message:: "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.Only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit supported Carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card" This is where i am stuck. I dont even know what firmware the phone is currently in after what i did.

I've been trying to unlock my AT&T iPhone 4 and went through all the procedures with the carier, got the confirmation email from Apple, and have been trying to do the backup restore through iTunes... but haven't gotten the confirmation message in iTunes that the phone is unlocked. I've been restoring from backup, which I think is what I'm supposed to do.I'm trying to avoid the $30 tech support call since my phone is no longer and I'm already outside the US.

Pre-used iPhone 4. Got it from my sister, who unlocked it. (Still, the settings on the phone - Settings/General/Information- still mention the previous provider.)I got a new microSIM card - different provider- and I´m finding several problems to restore it as a new phone on iTunes.Â
1) Can´t update iTunes:
My iTunes is set for automatic updates. But it´s been a while that it no longer gets updated on its own. When trying manually - checking for updates- I get the following message: "the iTunes update server can not be contacted". My internet connection is fine. Re troubleshooting, i´ve modified the host file, refreshed DNS... still not working though.Â
2) Locked iPhone, enter passcode on phone. ?
When connecting iPhone to iTunes, either turned on or off, this message shows: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "name" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."I do not know which password it is referring to. There´s no 4digit security code to unlock it, I deactivated it. What does it rmean?
3) once step 2 is done, Restore as a new phone.
According to the steps that I am supposed to follow, iTunes should recognize my turned off iPhone as in "restoring mode" (turn off completely, connect usb to computer, press start button on iPhone while connecting the other end of the usb cable... Apple logo shows on a black screen. Open iTunes just then, and it´ll recognize the phone is in Restore mode). I´m using Windows 7, iPhone 4, my previous provider is Orange - Europe- and the current one Vodafone. I have an iTunes account, my iTunes works perfectly when syncing my iPod touch - except for the updates-... Software on iPhone is updated - iOS 7.1.1- ...Â

I have a factory unlocked iphone 4s. recently my iphone will not sync to my itunes. The problem started recently when i downloaded/installed the new update, but while it installed, i think there was an error. i had a iphone 4 locked (US) bought purchased a new one since ive been traveling here in asia. another weird thing,I thought i lost some of my old videos, but now these videos are on my phone. anyhow, im very scared that ill lose that content/along with all the other content, although everything should be saved. I have a macbook pro 17" 10.6.8. is there anything i should try before reseting my iphone? also, i have a korean sim and im really bad with phones in general. If i reset/reformat it, i assume i have to enter in some of my phone carriers info to connect right? id like to avoid this at all cost. I just really want my iphone to sync.

I called AT&T about 15 days to request an unlock for my iPhone. Yesterday I got the confirmation email explainig that the IMEI number was unlocked and that I should follow this steps to unlock it:
To complete the unlock, simply:
1. Open iTunes on your Mac or PC and verify that you have internet connectivity.
2. Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone.
3. Backup and restore your iPhone using iTunes . [url]...
4. After restoring, your iPhone will be unlocked.
Well I have done that. And the iPhone won't activate. I have inserted my sim card from Argentina (TELECOM PERSONAL is the company) but when I connect to iTunes it gives me this message:
Your request couldn't be processed. We are sorry, but there was an error processing your request. Please try again later. I have, too, tried to do it through the iPhone, in the activation screen (where it is stuck, by the way) but the same, error message.

I have the most current iPhone OS and I want to jailbreak it to be able to tether to my iPad for 3G service since my iPad is only wifi. I have looked on internet amd most sites claim current iPhone OS cannot be jailbroken. Is this true and if not, how do I jailbreak mine.

A co worker of mine racked up 2 gigs of data 2 months ago and burned through a blistering 8.6 gigs of data this past month. All of this on his 3Gs and none of it done by tethering with a jailbroken iPhone. He "claims" that he has no clue how it happened but I'm guessing he knows. How many video clips of wholesome family entertainment would he have to download to hit that impossible number. I nearly myself when I saw the bill.

My idiot ex (a supervisor on the apple care line!) jaibroke my phone and I hate it. It won't even turn on, now, it's stuck in recovery mode. How do I fix this? I'm trying to make it work through iTunes but I get error 1601. He used something called Red Snow, if that helps. I'm absolutely sick right now. I never once wanted this thing jailbroken, nevermind absolutely broken. Especially by an Apple employee.

A friend of mine jailbroke my phone, and I absolutely hate it. I've tried multipe time to reset all and restore it from the phone. Every time I do so, my phone stays on this black screen with a spinning wheel. It never goes away. I can't restore my phone from iTunes, because I use an Internet card and the download to update my phone before restoring, is too big. What can I do?!?!!

This may be a problem covered in a few places already, but I feel like I'm going crazy trying to find up to date answers to my questions, since it feels like the software is constantly changing. So I jailbroke a 3G 3.0 iphone that belonged to a friend. I had some battery problems so decided to update it to 3.1.2. So I downloaded the ipsw for this and the pwnage tool. I went through the steps and went into DFU mode, was prompted to go to itunes and restore with my costume ipsw. I did this, but can't use the 'shift-restore' trick to select the update. Now I'm stuck in recovery/DFU mode (not sure which) and can't even restore to 3.1.3 because I unlocked the phone and don't have the original sim. All I want is to get my phone back up and running on a 3.1.x OS.
