if you wanted to restore, then obviously use the restore option.
changing the baseband worked like a charm. Thanks!!
welcome Jonny!
OMG – finally I am sorted…. yay!! thank you so much, I upgraded the software by accident today…I managed the jailbreak but then couldnt unlock, Ive spend hours trying to find a solution and bingo..thanks again.
you’re welcome
I keep having errors like this when I’m doing this
6. enter http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com as source url and press add source button (Note: ultrasn0w includes a letter 0 (zero) not alphabet o).
—what seems to be the problem? what should I do with this error saying…:
the indicated repository could not be found. this could be because you are trying to add a legacy installer repository (these are noy supported). also, this interface ids only capable of working with exact repository URLs. If you host a repository and are having issues please contact the author of cydia with any questions you have.
please help me with this guys…
check this post for solution James: http://nabtron.com/repo666-ultrasn0w-not-working-solved/
dont forget to add the / on the end .. it actually makes a difference x
thanks for the tip lucy!!
Hello again,
I tried other repo addresses but didn’t work as well.
I also noticed that wifi, safari and other apps don’t work anymore after I upgraded my bb to 6.15
:(
justin, follow the link about installing ultrasn0w without wifi!
and are you sure the wifi is turned on and connected?
Hi Nabeel! Thanks so much, trying it without wifi now although I have to find out how to do the SSH thing still.
And yes wifi is on and connected..
iphone explorer (google) and connect with usb . . . simple!
btw, did you see “Activate your iPhone” message in iTunes before jailbreaking it? you should have tried activation fix first before jailbreaking in my opinion (not very sure)
I have added the DEB file correctly but when I tried to open Cydia, I couldn’t locate ultrasn0w from the packages…
restarted the iPhone?
yes Nabeel..went directly to Cydia.. then Manage->Packages but there is no any ultrasn0w showing..
How do i know if my Cydia’s working by the way? because when I select Cydia icon at the bottom it doesn’t show anything too but continues to just Load..
it continues to load because it tries to connect to internet
do this:
if there is any ultrasn0w there, delete it
follow the same steps to install ultrasn0w 1.2 from here: http://www.multiupload.com/3LT9W1UIMV and reboot twice and run cydia each time and let it run
I’m going to bed now, hope it gets fixed for you! :)
I tried everything and still my iphone 3g isn’t unlocked. Now it doesn’t power on. It hangs up showing the apple icon and for minutes it will reboot and hang up again showing the apple icon. What should I do? It doesn’t power on…
hmmm…. this means the os is corrupted and needs you to reinstall the iOS. . .
You should probably take it to some shop or experienced person to fix it in person.
Hi,
Did you manage to fix this problem? i’m having the same case here,
Thanks a lot! You’re very helpful! I’ll keep trying..
Followed all the steps, upgraded the baseband, installed and ran ultrasn0w. Rebooted once and then re-started.
Safari working (wifi), but cannot connect to any mobile phone networks. Any ideas?
which baseband you were on?
u guys rock!!!!……thanks!!!….. ur the best!!..it takes time and patience to do it…(several times by the way)..needed practice here..lol!!…but at the end its worth!!
you’re welcome Marlene!
Hi Nabeel!
Thank You for these tools. Everything is working including the GPS. Was a tad confusing but in the end worth the struggle. I am going to up Your fund with $4 this weekend as it saved me $8. :D
Have fun!
thanks!
btw, i can’t see 4$ paid to the account, was there any problem while performing the transaction?
No, I have still 1 day until weekend. :)
> I am going to up Your fund with $4 this weekend
> as it saved me $8. :D
They’ll be there.
Take care and Thank YOU!
BTW, my iPhone 3G seem a lot faster now. Wonder if it was the unlock or carrier switch.
Ha ha… no problems, I still had 1 day until weekend. :)

As for the rest of the people here; If You got help — which You should if You followed the supplied instructions — I think You should go to great lengths in order to support Nabeel’s project.
Live well!
