You need a Unactivated ATT Sim
Take out your T-Mobile SIM and Pop in your Unactivated ATT Sim card (Just found out any ATT Sim is ok).
Restore Using iTunes
Jailbreak with redsn0w
Go to settings and turn off your 3G!
You should get a "Waiting for activation." message, dismiss it and Open cydia.
Setup Cydia and all the hoopla.
Add the Ultrasn0w source repo666.ultrasn0w.com
Install Ultrasn0w and turn off your phone
Remove the unactivated ATT sim and insert your T-Mobile sim
Turn on the phone, once you receive service you should get the message. "iPhone has been activated"

can someone try this out? i just unlocked my iphone and i would like to know if i can use pwnage tool

i would do it but im not sure where to get an unactivated ATT SIM
 
I'd consider trying this out, but with push notifications apparently causing ridiculous battery drain even on non-JB'd iPhones and iTouches, I honestly don't see the point till the next firmware update.

I can live without push; I can't live with a 4-hour battery life.

My phone became unusually warm soon as I put in an email account, then the battery started running out much faster. When I turned off all push settings, everything seemed back to normal. There's definitely something wrong with the firmware.

EDIT: Oh, and people using Tap Tap Revenge's push notifications are reporting battery drain too. So it's not just the email.

oh well i actually want to try and get push

if i believe that the battery is being killed by push, i have the option to turn it off
 
I confirm that this method is working!
Before I did this, I JB using PwnageTool and then Ultrasn0wed it. Installed AIM, and push notification was not working.

So I restore (the ligit way through itunes), then I inserted ATT sim (I'm an official iPhone customer) and let it activate the phone.
After the phone is activated, I redsn0wed and ultrasn0wed it.
Then, I installed AIM, and BOOM! Push is working!

PS. I'm currently visiting Thailand, and I'm using a local simcard here. So, that's the reason why I needed an unlocked iPhone :)
 
I also confirm this to work, I have unactivated att sim and left that in during restore and jailbreak and now Push and youtube work on my tmobile iphone 3g with 3.0
 
Oooh, I found my AT&T SIM so I need to see if the analog for this can be done with an original iPhone (I guess, activating it using Pwnage Tool and the AT&T SIM or perhaps use redsn0w? :confused: ).....
