Comex team.
HELP...........us
-
i am having JB DT SOME ONE HELP ME!!!
-
So since this is activating through the official Apple server, I'm assuming Push notifications will work without the need of Push Doctor?
-
what does this actually do?
-
Where can I buy one of these? Will a blank sim card work?
-
Yes we do!!!
-
How about you try reading the whole thing again u'll find the anwers there
-
I'm confused! Is this for those currently not under contract with a carrier? If so, how does one get phone and Internet service after hactivation?
-
i jailbroke my iphone using redsnow and i forgot to check the verbose boot box and i want to get it but do i have to completly re-jailbreak my iphone or is there a easier way to do this?
-
i think this kind of sim card only available in india or near by,,i never heard this kind of product at my place..bcoz most of people save the contact in the memory not in the sim card..so what we gonna do dude..

HEY SUPERMINT, THAT'S A GOOD HINT FOR THIS SMART HITTSY!
-
Comex are in vacation maybe i heared that yeterday
-
maybe we will wait more 1 week or two for them to come back , then 1 other week to end the solution
-
You can enable it by running redsn0w again. Just be sure to:
Tick 'Already Pwned'
Untick 'Install Cydia' -
omg..What is the purpose of this…yeh I know so that it is activated..then what? if I cant use my sim in there?
-
Stupid. Once activated u can jailbreak using spirit and unlock using Ultrasnow in Cydia. This is for those people whose iPhone is stuck on the connect to iTunes page.
-
I don't get this
I have a o2 locked phone but use a orange contract
Simple fix for iTunes is just get a free o2 pay as u go sim...... -
this method for someone bought an iphone from ebay or where else but does not come with original sim inside, like you live in US and bought a iphone from ebay but ship from Swiss or England. It is no way you can by pass "the message from iTune". You need to pass this message first (stuck on Emergency Only) before you can jailbreak your iphone 3GS.
Anyway, I called AT&T, T-Mobile, Radio Shack and check on Ebay but can not find any of it. Maybe we should know more about this guy where he bought his phonebook sim card.
-
This hack has been around for years. All you have to do is pop in a blank at&t SIM (if it is a US Iphone)and go to iTunes and let it recognize the phone to get past the annoying iTunes screen of death (ie activation/recovery mode). Cancel out when it asks you for a number and registration. It will allow you to activate it by removing the emergency call screen but will not let you make a call because its not a real SIM. Its good if you have an iphone and need to jailbreak it with Spirit or if you upgraded the firmware with a different SIM card. International phones are different because you need the original carrier SIM in order to make it work so that's why these unlocking SIM's are pretty cool.
Go to ebay and type in "iphone activation sim card" and a few international sellers will show up.
-
Just borrow the sim from a friend u just need a sim that's the carrier ur phone was with it doesn't have to be the same one unless ur in a next country then u need this guy's method....
-
What I want to know is there really not an unlock software for the 4.0.1 firmware I accidentally updated and my phone's once again unjailbroken and locked helpppp plzzzzz
-
oh snap...I thought this was known already...I used this method to unlock my phone like 2 months ago...
-
I don't get it? Why do you need this? You can just use redsn0w to jailbreak your 3g or 3gs and then use ultrasn0w to carrier unlock. Am i missing something?
-
Do you know if this will also work with the 3gs?
