Hi all,
Been using rebel sim with T-Mobile and just updated to 3.0 to jailbreak to unlock with redsnow but how do I get passed the sim registration/iPhone activation so I can jailbreak?? Thanks.

just download redsn0w. it will hacktivate the phone and JB it for you. make sure redsn0w downloads cydia if you plan on unlocking your phone. once your phone is JB, go to cydia>packages>sources> edit or add souces> type "repo666.ultrasn0w.com" then search in cydia for ultrasn0w, download n run, then reboot and your phone should be JB and unlocked.

I assume you are now updated to 3.0 from your first post.

Put the phone into DFU mode and run RedSn0w. This is how you get into DFU: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofpinyGlQ8I
