World's First Software Method to Unlock iPhone 3G Released [Updated]
Comments
-
I would like to add, don't know if it's upgrading to 2.2, or unlock, or combo of both, but apps are working much faster, very noticeable. Seems as though it is using it's full potential now that the thin sim (hardware method), has been removed.
-
Still no luck with VIBO (3g only Network) in Taiwan.
-
Not working. I am back to using a 2.2 TurboSIM.
I have TMobile and I get no signal after inserting the card. No PIN, nothing special about my SIM card. -

Brazil OI, recognizes carrier but cannot complete any calls (phone app locks up). After a while the signal bars get low and carrier name disappears.

Hi,
I tried this morning again, i hate to give up especially when people succeed and not me!!!
Therefore, once you ve done all the process, reinsert your boost card! (mine was not finding out the signal anymore), then take it off and just reinsert the sim and it s working! call, sms ect...

After installing yellowsn0w half an hour manipulation of all kinds was not successful at all. But than at dev team blog I read instructions from one German guy and that did the trick!
Please try out this :
1. Download and install BossPrefs and Yellowsn0w via Cydia
2. Disable all Functions with BossPrefs (don´t worry if you can´t disable EDGE)
3. Reboot ypur Phone with BossPrefs (not in the normally way - important !)
4. Wait 1.30 min when you see the Lockscreen
5. Take out your Sim and insert it.
6. Wait a moment
7. Go on Settings and Turn on the fly mode
8. Turn off Fly Mode
9.R you happy?I just going to add more!
10. After I did 9 steps it still was not working for me. SO what I did is took out my sim card and pop in sim card but from different provider. In my case (I am in estonia and using EMT but I popped in sim card NORWEGIAN provider Telenor) SO right after I popped in rouming sim card it start search and it worked!!! Both rouming and regular!
So my advice is - BE CREATIVE and DO NOT AFRAID TO EXPERIMENT!
MANY MANY MANY THANKS TO DEV TEAM! YOU GUYS ARE ROCK! THANKS FOR SUCH AN AMAZING NEW YEAR GIFT!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!

Thank you Dev Team. My Iphone 3G is bought from London, works perfectly with HK CSL sim and is currently roaming in China But my China Mobile sim do not work, it will only works with turbo sim and needs to eject/reinsert the SIM card many times before i can get a stable signal.

...I am having a problem also.
I am trying to use the new software unlock on a UK iPhone. I have followed the steps (upgrading to 2.2 with new baseband, jailbroken and installed Yellowsn0w).
After rebooting with the T-Mobile UK sim installed it comes up with full signal showing T-Mobile UK and then I try and make a call to test it and then the signal drops off and it says call failed.
Help!
-
[Update]
Have tested the same iPhone with a Vodafone UK Sim which works perfectly. Full signal, edge connection, can make and receive calls properly without the signal dropping.
This just seems to be a T-Mobile thing. I have tried disabling 3G which it said in one of the previous posts (even though that was saying for US), but the same thing still happens.
-
Not working, but I might have a strange config.
A swisscom Iphone and a Dutch KPN simSwisscom sim still works, so no harm done.

I installed 2.2.8 Firmware, Jailbroke it, installed yellow sn0w 0.9.1. Now I put in the 3rd party SIM and it did not work. I restarted the phone with the 3rd party SIM in it and it didn't work. I waited a minute after the reboot and stuck in the SIM card, no luck. Any other suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
-
it worked with me BUT you have to switch on the Airplane mode and then switch it off after you switch off your mobile and insert your sim.

On my travels I stumbled upon this link:
http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?p=377760#post377760
If you follow this to the letter, it should make almost any network work properly.
My iPhone is now working on T-Mobile UK network with 3G connection.

After installing yellowsn0w, my calls are dropping like crazy, tried to reinstall it but now its saying "size mismatch" any fix on this?

Hi,
I did exactly what it said in the instructions. i upgraded to 2.2, jailbroke my iphone 3g, installed yellowsnow, rebooted my iphone and it didnt work. tired it again and i was able to recieve calls and recieve and send out text but i could not make a call out. What do i do from here? I read a couple other people had the same problem. if there is a fix to this please let us know. Also thanks to the dev team for all the hard work. -
Thanks Mostafa Zalat
Your link helped me out .. now it is working for me !!
Took some time .. but HEY .. it works :-) -
Can anyone tell me if this works with FIDO IPHONE 3G (CANADA)PLS REPLY thanks dev team !
-
Works for a few second then it says No Service.
Seems that it only work when i reset network setting-with or without sim. But it only last a few seconds then it says No Service
I managed to make one phone call the 3rd round i repeat the reset network setting step. Then it says no service again.
-
I had that problem earlier.
Try the link I posted a few posts above and it should solve that No Service issue.

Thanks Ricki for the tip, I have updated the post with the link for the benefit of other readers facing an issue.
