Activate iPhone Without Official Carrier SIM And Also Fix Poor Battery Life Issue After Unlocking Using SAM
We had reported yesterday that iPhone users who had unlocked their iPhone using a combination of PwnageTool or Redsn0w to update baseband to 06.15.00 and Ultrasn0w 1.2 for iOS 4.2.1 were observing poor battery life.

First on taking up the A.S.S!
-
i was experiencing the battery drain issue after using Redsn0w to bump my baseband from 5.14.02 to 6.15.00, but i'm staying on 4.1 for the time being. I used the SAM app and successfully activated my iphone 3gs. I'm currently syncing my iphone and will report back to let you guys know if this has, in fact, resolved the battery utilization issue.
-
well, i see very little traffic going out via the cellular data network and my battery utilization appears to back to normal for the time being...looks like it might have just fixed it... :)
-
I don't understand this? When I get the new redsnow do I have to do the whole jb/unlock process again?
-
There is no deactivate option in redsn0w!!
-
if i de-activated my iphone 3g with redsn0w.. how am i gonna use SAM if i cant even enter into cydia to enter the repository since the phone is deactivated? anyone could come out with a detailed step by step for 6.15.00 iphone 3g because the battery life of my phone is currently at 3hrs MAX..
-
I think you could just deactivate using the SAMprefs (without deactivating thru redsn0w)
-
Acc. to Dev-Team:"To help make it easier to try out @sbingner’s tool, we’ve updated redsn0w to include a new “Deactivate” option for the 3G and 3GS. Use this option *after* you’ve installed SAM…it will remove the normal patches made to lockdownd and let SAM take over. (sbingner plans on making a button to do this within SAMPrefs too). Great work, @sbingner!"
-
thanks dude!
-
Will this work on iPhone 4
-
As Dev-Team has said, you must install SAM and SAMPrefs first BEFORE you you redsn0w to "deactivate" your iphone.I followed the instructions and it works.
-
Okay so I added the source to get SAM and downloaded both requirements from cydia. Ran redsn0w 9.6b6 and fully deactivated the phone. After the reboot, went to cydia and installed ultrasn0w to unlock (again) after reboot (yet again) went to settings and opened SAM and deactivated. While remaining connected, opened up iTunes and fully activated. I do however get this annoying pop up from iTunes still stating the need to check carrier software and how to set automatic check. Anyone else get that pop each time? It started right after I ha upgraded iTunes. So annoying. OH! and going back to SAM, I assume it worked since it read "wildcard activated" and status "loadedOK" my battery however still drains like a ****. Which only started happening after I ran the new redsn0w...
-
U guys need to download the new redsnow for the deactivate option
-
So I downloaded SAM and SamPrefs. Now I have no signal. what do I do next? what does he mean with -Follow the steps in Troubleshooting/Hacktivated with redsn0w or PwnageTool??
-
Help out there... I've studied recent & current posts so far regarding 4.2.1 update w/ JB & unlock on the side, & i can tell that its quitedcomplicated. I dnt think i want to update to 4.2.1 especially w/ main issues of tethered/untethered JB dependent on ur "bootroom". Guys, what i want to know is if its anyhow possible to update to iOS 4.1 ??? Since iTunes offer the current 4.2 only right?? Anyone please... i prefer 4.1 update & JB, where can this b found as of this time? tnc much!
-
Im on 4.2.1 on unlocked iphone 3g. Ran redsnow 9.6b6 deactivated phone. Went to settings then SAM and deactivated phone. Plugged into iTunes and got the iPhone activated message on my phone but still only get about 3.5 hours of battery without even using my phone or the Internet. Also still no push notifications. Was I supposed to restore, jailbreak, and unlock again? Or just reboot?
-
Having the same issues. the SAM update doesn't seem to do my battery no justice. I get the same battery life as you. Updated to 4.1/06.15.00 BB/unlocked/Sam update/redsnow deactivate/activated through itunes with and w/o SIM card and battery drains in 3 hours. Frustrating. SAM update does not work.
-
id like to second that, my batterys still draining... or is it cuz of the damage before hand that weakened my overal battery life?
-
That's a negative doby. My iPhone would take forever to drain from 100% to 99% and so on. I know this was because it was not using any signal/network but either way. It should not have damaged the battery like the way of what is occurring now after this update that began causing this. All in all, the SAM update and supposed fix, does not fix nor solve this issue of the battery draining the way it is. We need a definite fix to this. It is frustrating. There needs to be a better fix to this.
-
I was still using my iPhone, basically as an iPod Touch for email, iPod, Twitter and etc. The Battery life was amazing. I know the prolonged battery life was due to the signal/network not being used, but even prior to the accidental update that locked my phone, my iphone still had awesome battery life. I was using a Droid phone in the time being before the update came out. This battery issue is due to the update.

What has happend to the so called release of limesn0w for 4.1 on 05.14.02 this would save us all a lot of trouble.This is why, although i am desperate to unlock my 3gs, i read that so many people are having issues with this new unlock (respect to dev team and all involved) and its irreversible if your on new bootrom once upgraded to 06.15.00 bb i am reluctant to go ahead with this incase geohart decides to release limesn0w and then theres no possible way to downgrade from 06.15 to use limesn0w which is safer.

SAYS SAMY WILD CAR ACTIVATED IS THIS GOOD
-
Hello. Does anybody know if I can use this method if hacktivated with sn0wbreeze? I mean can I deactivate with redsn0w anyway? or should I use the openssh method? I'm on Iphone 4 4.1 jailbreak and unlock. Thanks.
-
made it worst and never had this draining before! I swear to god it was really better before SAM. Thanks dev team!!! Thanks bingner!!!!!
-
I tried using SAM and deactivating with redsn0w, but still doesnt work. BTW, is the phone part still suppose to be able to work after the deactivation?SAM now says:ActivationState: WildcardActivated
-
I have tried no. of times to activate my Iphone 3gs on 4.1 bb 06.15.00 with this new SAM procedure but I didnt succeed. However my battery drain problem has vastly improved since this bb update. SAM Activation State: Factory Activated which I am not sure would have enabled it to take control properly of my device. I have tried to activate my phone viz itunes atleast atleast 10 times repeating the whole process again n again but of no use. Dont know the reason behind that. I have given up for the moment and dont even bother to try again as somehow my battery issue has resolved to a great extent for the moment. Good luck guys who still facing this problem.

I have upgraded my 3G to 4.2.1 with redsn0w and unlocked with ultrasn0w 1.2 BB 06.15. I am not experienceing battery issues. I traveled by train yesterday 3:30 hours, the phone was fully charged when I left. I watched videos 90% of the time spent. When I arrived, I had over 60% battery. And the reception was not so good because the train was travelling through the mountains. So no battery problems. I guess not all users are affected.
