iPhone iPhone SimFree FREE tool (iUnlock) released...

yeah, you have to rename that iPhone 1,1_1xxxx to .zip

then double click it to extract contents

then point the jailbreak to that folder

if you get an error, close independence, reopen and try again

this really is a pain in the ass and i am hoping i can get it to unlock.

another issue is the activation tab. i don't see all the stuff noted here.

Data Only

Ok, serious question here. . .if I want an IPhone and want to us it as such, what are the benefits of unlocking for those in the US? I understand outside the US, but inside? You still need a carrier and a voice/data plan. . .in my own situation, my wife wants one and has a 49 voice plan via tmobile. . .to use the tmobile sim she would need to add a 20 data plan for 69. Similar to the ATT plans.

What am I missing.

The reason I want to unlock in the US is to use my Sidekick data plan on my IPhone. I don't use my Sidekick for calls, just for IM, TXT and Web. With ATT you can't get a data only plan, plus they change and arm and leg for TXT and I don't want 2 years since I already have a contract with TMobile.

On TMobile I have a $29.99 Data only plan. That would be SWEET on the iPhone! If I can get my TMobile SIM to work!
 
after unlock, weird things...

After performing the unlock, I noticed a couple odd things. Key-clicks are gone, playing music doesn't always work through the speakers, and I cannot enable bluetooth.

Anyone else have any issues? Is there a way to roll this back?

I haven't had any of these issues. I'd go for a full restore and strt anew.
 
Crack works but getting error

When i try my TMobile sim I get the error: Could not activate EDGE: You are not subscribed to EDGE.

Anyone seen this.

Anyone know the fix?

Thanks.

I can call out from my TMobile Sim. Just get the error when I try to get on the Web.

Also I can TXT. Just seems like I can't check mail or get on web.
 
i'm making progress....

now i can't get past:

Step 5

(Be sure to have the BSD Subsystem and Open SSH installed on your iPhone before performing this step) Type

minicom -s
 
iphone help

When I take the iphone out of the box how do i know what firmware verion it uses and before i start ibrik so i take the sim card out ?
 
BSD Subsystem

I'm getting a error that says....
"Error during install script execution!"

what is this? what did I do wrong? how do i fix it?

thanks.

IPhone working on Fido network!!!!

Hey just got my iphone working on Fido Canada!!! Thanks to the iPhone dev team!!! I used iActivator + Installer and followed the instructions on Unlock.no
 
EVERYONE! Stop trying to unlock it the hard way and use the GUI app now. No offense, but many of the posts here are newbie questions. I haven't done the GUI app so I can't really help but it shouldn't be that difficult. Perhaps someone nice enough can post up an official tutorial for unlocking using the GUI app?
 
To setup edge on t-moble us



Then go to Settings>General>Network>EDGE> and change the APN to internet2.voicestream.com, and leave the user name and password blank! This will only work if you have the Total Internet Add-On enabled on your line. If you have the $5.99 t-zones, this won't work, since the iPhone doesn't have proxy settings built in. If you have the Total Internet Add-On w/ VPN enabled on your line then use: internet3.voicestream.com as your APN.
 
Firmware

I'm trying to find out what firmware I'm using on my iPhone. I do know how to find the firmware on the phone AFTER I activate the phone. Right now, I'm at the Activation screen on my iphone. I want to find out if my firmware is at 1.0.2 so I can use independence. Thanks
 
Anyone know how Data would work as far as charges go if one were to go with T-Mobile2Go Plan. A $100 refill- 1000min one year expiration date on mins would last me about 3 months based on my personal call volume. But the data would be the deal killer here.
