I’ll appreciate any help you can provide me. I’d read iclarified, and modmyi forums through and through and nobody seems to have the problem I do. I’d succesfully installed and jailbroken iOS4 on my 8gb 3G, but as far as unlocking, I’ve tried everything to no avail:
redsn0w>ultrasn0w, pwnage tool, pwanage tool>ultrasn0w
What am I doing wrong?!
is your issue solved now?
and what error you get while trying to unlock it?
Thanks for answering.
I don’t get any errors, it just doesn’t work. It keeps saying “no service”. I’m trying to figure out what is the version of bootloader, although I haven’t read anywhere that this is a problem regarding the iPhone 3G.
the serial is MB, and the week is 44. Everything works fine besides that, multitasking, folders, wi-fi, etc.
oh so your bluetooth and wifi don’t work too?
probably you need to activate it using At & T sim before jailbreaking it then.
bluetooth, wifi, everithing work just fine. I live in the Dominican Republic, not at&t here.
it should be able to be unlocked using redsn0w
do you want my assistance with it?
Can’t reply directly to you.
I have even used another sim with an iPhone plan in my country to use ultrasn0w and NADA, nothing.
I just want to use the freaking phone, whatever it is on 4, 3.1.2, 2, 1 whatever, just want to be able to make and receive calls and leave that sad alcatel I’m using behind me, hehehe.
quick update
so I’ve decided to go to orange to see what they can do, and on my way there the phone suddenly have full signal and the carrier name (orange). I’m so thrill! so I try and make a phone call but it doesn’t work. I go back home and try to make a call to it, but it doesn’t work either. Removed the sim, put it back in and again, no service.
WTF?
ok so it appears to be the sim jack problem! try this:
1. use the same sim on some other iPhone first to confirm (use on other iPhone only)
2. use some one elses sim + their iPhone sim holder jack in your iPhone
hi..
i did email you yesterday..
can you virtually assist me please
Hello hasan, i was in bit busy schedule on week end, i will be contacting you on your email address tomorrow inshaAllah.
Hi,
3gs, on 3.1.3, BB 5.13.04… BL 6.4
I would like to go to 4.0, I only have 3.1.3 shsh backed up on Cydia, currently not JB’d. I understand i must first JB my 3.1.3, i think i can handle the rest… ANy help you could provide would be stellar! everytime i try redsnow, it says the rest of the process will take place on my device, but my device just sits there in recovery with a black screen… using recboot restarts me back to 3.1.3 (not JB’d) AHHHHH, HELP PLZ!!!!
you have to upgrade your iphone to latest os and then jailbreak it
but u need to have the activated iphone.
Hey! Thanks for the reply! I can go to 4.0 no prob, but how do I jb? The new tools say I must be previously jailbroken…
what’s your current OS versin?
Hello, I´ve got an apple iphone 3g (16gb) on software os 4.0 (updated 23 June) and baseband 5.13.04. The carrier is Orange France, and since I want to use it in Germany (with a German simcard) I need to unlock it. As I´m really not good with computers I could need some virtual assistance.
Thanks in advance, Chris.
Is it currently activated iPhone?
I mean I can use it as ipod and internet and stuff, but I can´t use it as a phone, cause I don´t know the pin of my old orange france simcard…
and of course I still can connect it to my itunes.
isn’t the pin of all the sims same? or can’t you call them to confirm it?
typed the pin wrong too often and now need the puk and don´t know where to get this. but i m sure that i can borrow an orange france simcard of a friend. but do i really need to know the pin?
you can get puk code by calling the service provider
once you enter puk your pin gets reset.
So I have an iPhone 3gs 16gb that is updated to 4.0 with nothing backed up. Is it possible to jailbreak and/or unlock? Thx for the help.
is it activated?
Yes it is activated and currently on Att.
then it can be .
do you want assistance in jailbreaking and unlocking it?
could you say the steps to jailbreak this because i have a 3gs 16gb 4.0 activated phone and i would like to jailbreak it
the steps are outlined here: http://nabtron.com/how-to-unlock-iphone-3g3gs-on-ios4-with-ultrasn0w-baseband-05-13-04-to-04-26-04/
in detail
If you can help me it would be much helpful.
email sent on your email id associated with this comment.
what does activated mean? does it just mean that it goes with a original carrier simcard and that one knows the pin and everything or what?
thanks
activated means when you connect it to iTunes it don’t give any error that the sim card is not supported or the iPhone is not activated, instead it gives normal options like update and restore etc.
Hi,
My 3Gs was unlocked and activated. I was able to use an unregistered sim without a data plan on it. I had to run it on blackra1n every time that I plugged it into the computer. However, I accidentally upgraded it to 3.1.3
I’ve tried restoring it with various custom IPSW files from different programs (I’ve even tried 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.2, and IOS 4) but my phone refuses to restore or restore unlocked. It still keeps asking for a valid sim. Sometimes, Itunes tells me that the “device isn’t eligible for the requested build”. I can’t use redsn0w because no matter what IPSW I try to use with it, it cannot be recognized. Sn0wbreeze did not work either. I’ve tried on both a MAC and a PC.
According to forecast, my phone can be jailbroken but not unlocked. Bootloader is 6.4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
is your iPhone currently activated? when you connect it to iTunes, what message does it show?
Thank you for responding!
“There is no sim card installed in the sim card you are attempting to activate.”
My sim does not have a data plan and so it shouldn’t be able to work under normal locked and non-jailbroken circumstances, right?
Also, I’ve tried using somebody else’s registered sim with a data plan but it still went unrecognized.
you need to enter any AT & T sim in it to activate it first with iTunes so that it can work further.
There is activator out there but it’s not well developed yet.
Even if I am not from America, an AT & T sim would still work?
How risky would it be to use this new activator? All my information and phone memory has been wiped out so I’ve really got nothing to lose in terms of memory.
the new activator is not tested by public yet! so you can think of any risk! :)
and yes At & T sim should work in any case (usually) if you can make your hands on it around you. Try going to some mobile phone dealers and repair shops they may help you.
Hello, my 3g is not jailbroken in anyway. I’m not sure how to do this
what’s the firmware and is it activated and working properly?
Its not activated, i just upgraded. its iOS4, but it is working properly
Please tell me:
1. what firmware was it on before upgrade, and was it working properly at that time? was it jailbroken + unlocked at that time?
2. how did you upgrade? (using iTunes upgrade feature ? )
1. the latest version of 3.0 and it was never jailbroken
2. Yes, through itunes
you said it is not activated but working properly? what does it mean? are you able to use it and call from it currently?
Its not activated. I can not call from it. But everything else works
Can you unlock the phone and see the homepage icons? if yes then goto settings and see if wifi and bluetooth can be turned on / off properly and tell me the result
if you cant see the homepage icons, then you need to follow this tutorial to jailbreak it first: http://nabtron.com/how-to-jailbreak-ios-4-0-with-redsn0w-0-9-5-on-windows/
I can still see the icons on my homepage
ok great, please tell me if wifi and bluetooth are functional
they give the option to connect to other devices so yes
ok great, so you can jailbreak it using the tutorial link: http://nabtron.com/how-to-jailbreak-ios-4-0-with-redsn0w-0-9-5-on-windows/ and then unlock it.
its said that they page was not found
the link that i posted above? it’s working fine! just click on it!
Okay now its working. But the download link isnt
they changed the file version so the link was not working,
please try again now, i have updated it with the new ones
Hi again Nabeel,
First of all, thanks again for all your help. I managed to get my phone to work. I just needed to use a sim from the country in which it was activated. So now my phone is working but only like an IPod touch. I am now trying to unlock it so that it can use any sim. According to f0recast, my phone cannot be unlocked. Does this indeed mean that there is no hope for my phone to be used with any other carriers?
can you gimme some more info about why it can’t be unlocked?
you need to jailbreak it first to be able to unlock it for any other carrier.
I think that it cannot be unlocked because of the 6.4 bootrom and the fact that it is upgraded to OS 4. I’ve tried using redsn0w to jailbreak it but whenever I try to do the first step, it refuses to recognize my IPSW.
if it refuses your IPSW it means that it is having some error far before checking for your bootrom
make sure you are using the ipsw and redsn0w of the same compatibility
what does “activated iphone” mean? does it just mean that it goes with a original carrier simcard and that one knows the pin and everything or what? i, for example, know the passcode of my iphone, i can use the web, connect it to my itunes, organize music, and all kind of stuff besides making and receiving calls, i just don´t know the pin of the french simcard thats in there.( i am in germany and want to use it with a german card).
so can i use the here descriped unlocking and jailbreaking solution, or should i try and get a original carrier simcard with a pin i know? (iphone 3g on 4.0 and 5.13.04)
thanks for your help
your iPhone is activated currently. You can Jailbreak and unlock it safely (but you may need original carrier sim and its pin (you can contact the carrier service provider to know the pin) in some step when connecting to iTunes – not necessary)
can i get some1 2 jailbreak it 4 me?
where do you live sir?
can you fix it then online?
hopefully yes
i told you the issue.its ugraded to os4 and locked in at&t.and its in emergency mode.no homepage or anything its stuck.
and i dnt have at&t sim available in UK.so can we start to fix it..even if we cant jailbeark .i want to get rid of emergency mode
Jailbreak is needed to bypass the emergency mode
however, jailbreak can be done without activating with At & T but unlock can be an issue.
I will discuss it with you before starting to hack your iphone
so can we start it the virtual process
I will be able to do that tomorrow for you sir.
hi..
so can you fix it today?
Hi I have a Samsung A767. My IMEI number is 355197/03/043390/3. Can you please get me the 8 digit unlock code! Thank You very much!

Hi!
Me also facing same problem? You fixed it? Please share how..
–Sifat
what problem are you facing exactly sifat
you need to unlock it after jailbreaking to use it with your local sim cards
iPhone 3GS firmware 4.0, not jailbroken.
Purchased it without lock in 12/09. Operated with european SIM.
Got white screen problem fixed in an apple store in USA, since then my phone does not accept my sim card or any sim card. Phone is recognized in iTunes but says: no sim card
Please guide me to solve this issue. Thanks.
you need American (probably AT & T) sim to activate it first (if you follow proper procedure)
Hi Nabeel,
As-Salaamu-A’laikum,
I have seen all of the above messages but can’t figure one that matches exactly my problem. Yesterday, being a stupid, I just restored my iPhone 3GS 3.1.2 with new iOS 4.0, downloaded through iTunes. Now I’m stuck. It only shows me the “Emergency call” screen. I can do nothing. Connecting with iTunes says, you know, “The SIM card is not supported” sort of messages.
How can I downgrade it to 3.1.2 or Jailbreak it? Is there any way, I can know my current baseband/firmware details? I don’t have any At&T SIM around me, and there is no luck that I will have one in near future. I am from Bangladesh (Time GMT+6).
Thanks for you help.
–Sifat
was your iPhone jailbroken at 3.1.2 before you upgraded it to iOS 4.0?
Actually it was jailbroken before I upgraded to iOS 4.0. I can remember I saved the shsh blobs on Cydia. But later I tried to get it through tinyumbrella and failed.
It seems I’m stuck now. Can’t see any hope.
–Sifat
sorry for late response, were you able to fix your issue?
Hello I had jailbroken my iphone 3gs before and used it as an ipod touch. Now since i upgraded it to 4.0 I can do anything it’s stuck on those two screens that says Connect to itunes then when i Slide it it says emergancy calls only pleasee help meeee!
where do you live? and was it “unlocked” too before upgrading?
I Live in United States, and No.
You can jailbreak it using this method:
http://nabtron.com/how-to-jailbreak-ios-4-0-with-redsn0w-0-9-5-on-windows/
Once it’s jailbroken you can unlock it too using:
http://nabtron.com/how-to-unlock-iphone-3g3gs-on-ios4-with-ultrasn0w-baseband-05-13-04-to-04-26-04/
lemme know if you have any trouble understanding the process
It’s not working for the jailbreak because it cant find the ipsw file.
did you download the ipsw file from the link provided in the article ??
Hi,
I just bought an unlocked/jailbroken iphone with 4.0 and firmware 5.13.04 and am using Tmobile. It wont load carriers, there are no fields to enter the apn information and when I put my SIM in, it shows me Tmobile and full bars at the top plus the uppercase E for edge but it only lasts about 6 seconds then the phone starts searching. I am able to go online using wifi but at this point that is all I can do. I received a text message but as soon as I did, the phone started searching again and I never got a chance to answer.
Please Help.
Virtual assistance requested
I am not sure what could be the issue (maybe re installing and jailbreaking needed – don’t do it unless you know the process completely)
my phone is: 3GS running iOS 4 with firmware 05.13.04
Have you tried jailbreaking it?
Bleh. 4.0.1 redsn0w is giving me an unspecified err.
are you trying to load iOS 4.0.1 on redsn0w ? you need to use 4.0 version with redsn0w (it will jailbreak 4.0.1 too)

Hey there,
I just got my iPhone 3GS 8G last week and am looking for a way to jailbreak it, I keep seeing on sites that there is no way to jailbreak from version 4.0.1 if you didn’t have a jailbreak via redsn0w on 3.1.3 due to that update being the only temp fix for now.
I would like to know if there is any info you could give me, such as if there is a way to do it, and if so, pls let me know how so i can get this started, I would greatly appreciate it
My model iPhone is A1303, and firmware is 05.13.04, thanks for your help!
