I have been researching the unlock process for my iphone. i recently purchased it and I am wondering if I can jailbreak with pwnage and use a rebel sim card to unlock? my iphone is on firmware 2.2.1 with the baseband 2.30.03. just wondering if this would be a solution to unlocking my phone to operate on T-Mobile. thanks

Can anyone help me plz?

Yesterday I refresh my iphone through jailbreak and it’s done but after that my Card is still not accepting it shows “NO SERVICE” does anyone has idea about this?

I have done all the steps as mentioned above except below two:
1. Add the repo repo666.yellowsn0w.com to Cydia or Icy. That last “o” is actually the number zero “0”.
2. Search for ‘yellowsn0w’ in cydia or icy and install ultrasn0w.

Does it require ?

My husband had an Iphone 3G. He wanted a 3GS. Only I was due for an upgrade. We purchased the GS for me with my number. Then he gave me his 3g and kept the 3gs. We switched SIM cards. The SIM cards do look a little different with the etching(?). Has worked; but his battery runs down quickly, and 3 days later, a couple of times his phone just locked up and said “searching” for network. So, are these phones/SIM compatible or is the 3G card screwing up his 3GS phone? What is your recommendation? Thanks.

Do you unlock the phone with or without the sim card?
What should I do for my firmware it’s 04.26.08 do I try to restore?
What kinds of negatives things can happen to my iphone and computer by downloading Pwnage and yellowsn0w?
Is T-moblie considered an authorized dealer for iphones?

2.2.1 & firmware 02.30.03 can be jail broken but not unlocked unless you downgrade the baseband to 28.02 to do this you can use this link
http://theiphonewiki.co/wiki/index.php?title=PHaseBanDowngrader . You could have gotten a 1st gen iphone in the grey market and it would have worked better for india. 3g is still a long way off to be beneficial. I use a first gen phone for all types of sims in India ( airtel, aircel, bsnl, vodaphone etc).

Yo W. Park you are a genius. Panamas cable and wireless carrier has ALL its sims locked and you cant disable the PIN. Since release of yellowsnow the only carrier I coudnt get to work was C&W. This solutions you gave of rebooting with power and home button worked flawlessly, i never thought it could work. THanks a millions. You should post this solutions in devs blog since I never saw this solution there. GJ!!!!

Have you disabled PIN access on your SIM? If your SIM is PIN locked, yellowsn0w tends to throw a fit. If you have a PIN on your SIM, try this: insert SIM and wait for PIN. Enter PIN number. Reboot iPhone by holding down power button and home button together until the iPhone reboots.

If that doesn’t work, you might want to ensure you have the latest version of yellowsn0w
