Please if anyone knows where to find info on fixing YouTube on the hacked iPhone using Mac Please post it i cant find it.
just bought an iPhone, in UK. Will let you know how unlock goes when i recieve it tomorrow. Plan to use it on a pay monthly vodaphone sim, will also test with orange sim.
few initial questions
1: Can you swap the sims without having to do the whole unlock process again?
2: Is it best to put the phone back to jail after its been unlocked or not?
3: When you connect to the computer from the iPhone using wifi, do you have to enable bonjour or anything, or just connect to your mac/pc directly using wifi? - if anyone could elaborate this that would be great.
Cheers

once you unlock your phone, can you perform phone reset to take the phone back to factory settings or that can not be done
also when they say the hacked phone might get bricked by new apple update, what do they mean by that, like i can understand that calling feature on the phone might not work, or would it mess up the whole phone

I have successfully unlocked my iphone. EVERYTHING WORKS for me EXCEPT VISUAL VOICMAIL. I have t-mobile. I had to find a work around for you tube and you have to plug in the APN for Edge to work. Make sure that there is no user name or password. I will watch this thread for any questions for the next 20 or so minutes. otherwise you can pm me.
Good luck to you all.
i unlocked 2... but i can't get youtube to work on either. do i need EDGE for that or will it work or supposed to work over wifi?
yes, i did 2 but the instructions they provided are "close" at best. it was 6 hours of trial and error for me. then 30 minutes for the next phone.
I posted links to the YouTube fix in my step-by-step post on page 12.
This has been linked several other times in this thread. Come on, if you're not going to READ, why even come here?
For those who have unlocked - or are considering unlocking - your iPhone via software, iPhone Atlas has an article this morning noting that all of these unlocks are based on a Buffer Overflow Exploit which will likely be fixed quite soon for no other reason then it can be used as an attack vector for iPhone viruses.

Not blackberry
I am actually using a sim from my Sidekick 3.
I know the APN for the SK is: hiptop.t-mobile.com but I am not sure if it requires a user name and password.
If I use hiptop.t-mobile.com then I don't get the edge error but I am told (When I am using web on the iPhone) that the hosts can not be found.
I don't have a BB but I am wondering if I can just get the plan switched over and deactivate my SK 3. I don't use it anyway.
(Hummmmmm, I do have an old BB might have to reactivate that and get a BB data plan)

so now we have to RESTORE our phones, go through the unlock process again, and then activate again?????
Looks that way, I just restored mine and am starting over with the new iNdependance... ill update when im done.
