Mine worked perfectly!!! I resetted network settings and popped in my sim card and picked it up immediately!
-
Vodafone UK SIM in UK iphone (O2) - works great. Needs the SIM card ejecting and reinserting after a reboot, but everything works.

So far not working for me with Vibo 3g (only network) in Taiwan.

Hey all
Ive been trying to unlock a Fido iPhone 3G with both versions, still no luck.
Anybody have any success stories/tips?
-
Who needs 3g unlock when you have an Italian factory-unlocked iPhone? :)
-
I hate to sound unthankful but now the Dev Team are asking us to upgrade the baseband before trying to unlock the iPhone 3G?!!!
Excuse me but aren't they the ones who warned us not to upgrade our basebands and use the preserved ipsw files? Do you imagine the hard work and the waste of time (it took two days from my life) searching the web to find a trusted ipsw that is having the baseband preserved just because they didn't release their pwnage tool for Windows, backing up everything, upgrading and restoring all of my files after having ton of issues and iTunes errors .. and now I have to start all over again?!!
I am sorry but this unlock process was supposed to be easy and straight forward, I am supposed to just install and run yellowsn0w and BOOM! everything should work fine and iPhone becomes unlocked without doing any firmware:baseband/upgrade:downgrade/what-so-ever.
iPhoneHacks, are you listenning to me, I am not happy about this and I hope U can cheer me up with some advices.
Regards. And Happy New Year.

No luck for me neither...I'm tried both China mobile and China unicom also my Thailand 1 2 call prepaid card...Right now it seems to be working T-mobile only...I'm not sure got anyone that is not using T-mobile and it is working?....sadly...
-
I'm getting AT&T dropped calls like crazy after running the unlock. I don't have another sim card to test another provider, but I was wondering if anyone else was getting dropped calls like crazy?
-
I followed the iinstructions but my phone will let me recieve but will not let me make outgoing calls and sometimes my phone will freeze and in most cases i wont even have a single bar to make a call
-
Hi,
First, i would like to thanks the DEV TEAM for all your effort to release the solution.
My Iphone is from New Zealand and tried with my China telecom Sim. It's not working.
Waiting for some update to enjoy my cellphone without the boost card which is very slow
Cheers.

It hasn't worked for me.. I running the QuickPwn and it's putting the phone in recovery mode I hear a few beeps and NOTHING.. just hangs..I wait and wait and wait.. I've restored 3 times and can't get further than this... Any ideas. of yeah I was at ver 2.11 before I did this... thanks
-
Thanks so much! It worked fine for me with an O2 handset in the UK, now on Vodafone. I seem to have to eject/reinsert the SIM card following a reboot, otherwise I just get 'invalid SIM' messages, but it works!
-
havin some troubles with t-mobile here,i updated to 2.2 then quickpwned installed yellosn0w just like it said in the dev team blog but now i inserted my sim card i wasnt getting signal so i rebooted got signal for 2-3 secs then its gone any ideas?
-
sweden parlino works perfekt.thanks
-
now im getting "fixed number dialing active" this is frustrating
-
For those of you having trouble with t-mobile and only being able to receive calls, it is most likely that you have not disabled the 3g under your settings. The iphone 3g only supports frequencies of 850, 1900, and 2100, while tmobile uses the 1700 frequency to send and the 2100 frequency to receive. If you read the directions closely above it specifically tells t-mobile USA customers to turn of the 3g option.

ee,sorry but this sucks...i updated my phone to 2.2 without the baseband but its not working for me but for new updated baseband?i totally apreciate what devteam achieved but it will take alot of time to do to new baseband....anyways,thanks alot to devteaö since seems for many ppl its working.pls help us too :))
-
I highly recommend caution. DevTeam says beta, they mean beta. If you visit their website, you'll see lots and lots of people are having no success. I fall into that category. I'm guessing the success rate is above 60%, but it's in beta. Unless you absolutely NEED the 2.2 firmware update, I'd recommend waiting.
-
WORKED like a charm! Followed iclarified tutorial to upgrade to 2.2, then followed instructions on the unlock from the dev team. Did not show the carrier at first, but as stated wait for the unlock bar to show then slide and carrier shows. Thanks alot to the dev team, I saved some cash and put my thin sim away, hopefully forever. Mike from Italy.
