There are just so many different scenerios and different options, and i'm somewhat novice, and i don't want to screw anything up, and to top it all off, i'm on a serious time crunch. so, down to business....i've got a 3g, with 3.1.2 and at&t 5.6 and modem firm is 05.11.07 it is jb.
Here is the problem: it's getting really pokey with all the stuff i have loaded on it, and i want to start from scratch. restore. but i'm scared to restore, because i don't want to upgrade to 3.1.3 because final outcome, i need to unlock as well.
What i want to do: restore to completely clean, then re-jailbreak, and unlock.
This will show you just how far out of the "loop" I am but does T-Mobile have a microsim and if so or not, is it going to be possible to unlock the v4 to work with T-Mobile? Don't have ATT where I am. Still on 1st gen and T-Mobile.
I have a 3GS that was activated on AT&T. I closed the account and moved overseas, and have been using it as an iPod Touch + camera for a month or two.Now I want to jailbreak and start using it as my phone here. I'm running Jailbreakme, but then can I do the unlocking without an AT&T SIM in there at all? I might have my old one floating around, but it's probably been deactivated, I'd imagine..
I have done some research and seen ATT now allows iphone's to be unlocked, that being said how is it done? I am wanting to leave ATT for their poor service, and go with a compnay that has no contracts. I am sick of the high bills when nothing has gone over, and paying 250.00 for 3 phones when I do not have bells and whistles!! Anybody willing to help?
I have an iPhone 16GB 3Gs that I bought off a USA-eBayer a while ago (though I live in the UK). I'm with Virgin Mobile that 'does not' support the iphone, though when I rung up before the purchase of the phone, the team said though they don't stricktly support the Apple device, but iPhones generally work on their network.
I bought in confidence and my iphone worked floorlessly for about 12 months on the iOS 4.1 system, becuase I didnt want the hastle of unlocking my phone back for the Virgin Mobile website each time I updated through iTunes, i didn't bother. Evenetually I updated to iOS 5.0 (off the internet rather than iTunes) and since then my phone has really struggled to keep a strong signal, or indeed WiFi connection. It can have full signal but then it says 'Searching...' for a couple of seconds then will find all the signal again. This as you can imagine gets pretty infuriating when its happening 4 times a minute, and only when I want to actually use the phone.
Also the phone likes to turn off at any point, even if it says it has about 70% battery and was on charge all night, then it demands to be on charge before it turns back on again, sometimes stating that it has the '70% charge' it told you before, or a dramatically reduced charge depending on its mood.If I wasn't worried about it getting locked to the original carrier, I'd just plug it up to my iTunes and update it, but as it stands, I cant do that!
A friend of mine has an older iPhone (I'm guessing it's an 'original' iPhone,running iOS 3.1.3, using his ex's PUK card, but I could be wrong about that).He's using his ex's card because he inadvertently locked his original card sometime ago and forgot his password. Is there a way he can get it unlocked, possibly using a 'generic' "universal" password so he doesn't have to use his ex's 3G card (supposedly, his old PUK was a 4G)? He's used quite a few of the attempts he has to unlock it so far and only has perhaps 2-3 more tries before the car locks permanently.
I have an iPhone 4 and it was locked to O2. I recently contacted them to say I want it unlocked in order to use my Vodafone simcard and they simply sent me a text and I unlocked the phone through iTunes. I have now inserted my Vodafone microsim (brand new and working, it does on my other phones) and it says No Service no matter what I do!
I recently bought an iphone 4 from a friend which was locked to vodaphone. I have just had the phone unlocked by vodaphone but when i put in my t-mobile sim the phone says either "invaild sim" or "no service".
I have an iphone that was purchased in Las Vegas. It is locked through telcel. Anyone ever heard of telcel unlocking an iphone? Is there a way I can buy a telcel carrier sim card and unlock it. What can i do to use this phone?
I recently came into the hands of a 16gb 3gs iphone with 3.1.3 and its locked to o2.Obviously it can not be jailbroken or Unlocked. so i thought so i popped into a local shop that claims it can unlock the iphone to various UK networks.the gentleman told me he can unlock the phone for £25!i thought great! and asked if it is a guarentee? he told me it was BUT apparently if you turn the iphone off, or it loses power for what ever reason then the Unlock will be reset and will no longer be open to all networks?
I bought an 3g about 1 years ago from a friend in Malaysia. My friend bought it from the Maxis (carrier same like AT&T and Verizon). I knew that AT&T is now unlocking out of contract iPhone. What about mine?

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.
Just purchased an iPhone 4 and it is locked in portrait mode. The lock on the multitasking screen in NOT set and I have restarted it after closing out all apps.

I just got my 3GS swapped at Apple and it's at the no sim insert sim for activation. I read Spirit requires an activated phone, can I use Pwnage tool or insert an old sim and Spirit, then through Cydia do the ultrasnow unlock? Which method would you all suggest?
I am thinking that it would be a real enhancement (although I hope I would never actually need it) to have an ICE entry that is available without unlocking my phone. I use a passcode on my phone so if I were incapacitated in some way it would be good if emergency responders could get to my ICE entry. Ideally it would also have a place to list meds that I take and any important medical conditions that might be relevant. Obviously, not everyone would want to list this stuff in a way that could be access by unauthorized people, but many (maybe most) people would really benefit from it. For example, if I had high blood pressure and was taking meds for it, that might be sometheng that an EMT or ER Doctor might want to know before treating me.
In order to change my provider, i asked to Bouygues France, to unlock my phone (not jailbreak)I respected the process and obtained the apple right message in Itunes, it was correctly unlocked. I tested another SIM card, it was ok.All was ok since my iphone powered down.Then, i cannot launch the downloaded applications, i can only launch the integrated ones.I tried some tricks like :- reset iphone- uninstall/reinstall app- app update- authorize pc on tunes My last backup is very old. Should i restore it? If I restore, will the phone go back to the "locked" state?Any other trick ? Someone encountered the same issue?I'm very disappointed with this issue, i thought that unlocking an iphone was really without risk
Just bought a new I-phone and I'm trying to back up my old phone so I can transfer everything to my new phone. I must have created a password a while ago to unlock the I-phone back up, but now I can't remember it. Is there a way to reset it or obtain the password?
My iPhone 4 is currently locked to Bell-Canada.. It is now out of contract and I've already cancelled my bell account.. Now I want to unlock it.. But Bell is not offering unlock.. What to do????
The volume on my phone randomly turns down when I unlock my phone without me pressing the volume button. Also, sometimes it will not let me turn the volume up as the volume continues to go down without me pressing the volume down button.
