Restored my iPhone to sell it today. My SIM was still in the phone when I did the restore and after it restored and restarted it still had my number when I clicked on "iPhone" in iTunes. Even without the SIM it still reads my number, is this because the phone was automatically activated with the SIM in it after the restore?
Will I be ok as long as I take the SIM out?
selling 3gs tonight Ive read all the posts about the best way to prepare. cant I simply erase my email, notes etc and then give it to him.
when he syncs i know it will erase the apps pics etc but will it erase the base band unlock and hte jb itself?
Or should i restore to 3.1.2 an re jb/reunlock and then make sure i don't restore from backup then when he syncs even though it has cydia on it already it will still be a new phone according to his itunes when he syncs?
What is the deal wiht my baseband. im still on 07 something. if i just do a restore from my saved 3.1.2 on pc that wont affect my baseband since i never upgraded. so am i good?
I'm prepping my 3GS for selling. I just did:
1) Erase all content and settings.
2) Then I put it in DFU mode, and restored to 3.1.3 (the only SHSH I have on file).
3) Then I jailbroke with spirit.
4) Then I ran the spirit2pwn hack.
5) Then I restored to a custom pwned 4.0 firmware.
6) Then when it was done, the iphone screen says "iPhone is now activated", and on the computer I was at the screen to set up as a new phone or restore from backup.
7) I do neither of those things and then unplug the phone from the computer. Loaded up cydia and installed ultrasn0w.
8) Rebooted the device.
9) On the iPhone, went into settings -> General -> Store, and logged out of my iTunes account. (Don't know why it was even logged into that)
Am I all set to sell it? And how had it gotten logged into my iTunes if I never set up the phone? Maybe when it "activated" it does?
I sold my iPhone4 to stay with my 3GS. ATT said I need to get a new sim to keep my 3GS since I had to activate my iPhone4 which wiped out my old sim. Do I ship the iPhone4 with the micro-sim or no?

I listed for 750 or 850 max... I got an offer. Someone would buy the phone for $775 right now. Should I do it and get either a Desire or a new iPhone4?

So i decided to make my iPhone legit again and when i restored my phone from back-up, i noticed it still had a custom bar from 'MakeItMine' Cydia app, how could i change this back to the original O2-UK without jailbraking again, changing it on MakeItMine and then restoring again?I read on another thread that you could restore as new then it would go, but what happens when you do this?
Q1: Will it delete all my apps and music off my mac?
Q2: Will it remove my account set-up with my iPhone?
Q3: Will i loose all my mobile number contacts?
PLEASE HELP, I WANT NO SIGN OF JAILBREAK ON MY IPHONE!!
So I have a 3GS that had a broken screen. I paid my telco to have it replaced with a refurbished handset.The replacement was plugged into a Windows PC with iTunes & unbricked. No problems there.It didn't get used for about 3 months & when I tried to charge it, it was dead! Meanwhile, the 90 days warranty on the handset has lapsed & I can't get it replaced or anything without paying again.I have tried restoring the handset many times & I get different error messages depending on how I do it.If I just plug it into my PC (running Windows Vista) & do a normal restore in iTunes the error message is (-1).If I put it in DFU mode & then do a restore in iTunes I get error 1602.If I use iREB to put in DFU mode & then restore using a downloaded ipsw file I get error 3194.I have tried doing the above on two PC's running Windows Vista & still always getting errors.I am using the latest version of iTunes (updated yesterday - 30th March 2012)I am not sure what OS is on the handset. The latest thing to happen is that when it gets to "Restoring iPhone firmware..." it seems to just hang at the very last bit. Then after a long time just left sitting there plugged in, it eventually comes up with error 1002.

2 weeks ago my iphone 4 started acting funny. Everyday for whatever reason i would lose service and then it would say "connect to itunes " and I would have to restore the phone to its original factory settings. this went on for 3 days until finally it refused to be restored through itunes, and it was now not reading my sim card. so i went and got a new sim card at ATT , didn't solve the problem. So I took it to the apple store, they determined that it couldn't be restored and they gave me a replacment unit. well a few days later , the same thing has been happening . This is a completely different phone , and every 24 hours it needs to be restored.
