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

Working with Vodafone Germany!

Succsess!!!

A few hours with the Modmyphone methode, and my iPhone runs on a 3 year old Vodafone Germany Sim Card. Also, my YouTube still works....

The biggest problem was to set up a working WIFI here during my holliday trip in the US, but a quick visite to the Apple Store and an AirportExpress purchase later, I am up and running and very happy :)))))
 
I finally got mine unlocked.

This would not work for me: http://modmyiphone.com/wiki/index.php/IPhone_unlock_OS_X_Part_1

I don't see anyone here who had it work. I tried others.
Anysim would not work.

Finally I tried this:http://iphone.unlock.no/ and it worked. I got an error on the second from the last step, but decided to move on and try the sim. Working fine with T-Mobile (except YouTube).

Update: The volume is very low on the phone. Looking for a fix...

Update2: OK. I'm an idiot. I left the plastic screen on the phone and it was blocking the receiver ear piece. I haven't made or received too many calls today, but I am happy now!

Now watch this and replace "Comcast Digital Voice" in your mind with the word "iPhone". That's me.

This sounds to me like a case of in-proper activation. Put in your SIM card that you are going to use then re-activate using iNdepedance (use 1.2.1).

New Firmware

Apple has announced a new Firmware to be released this week.

For me, as an international user, there are many features, that are very desirable. Such as Localized Keypad, Edge on/off controll and Language typing support for other languages. God, the T9 is a bitch typing in my language and having the english correction partially sucks.

But it is better than not having an iPhone at all!!!!

Any hope, that we "unlocked ones" will get a way to upgrade the new FW and stay unlocked????

No upgrade for me until the other guinea pigs figure it out. I can do without the wireless iTunes store (I have no EDGE access anyway) and I don't miss any features I don't have yet. I wouldn't even try locking the phone until that is proven as a workaround to the update.

Chill. Apple is just trying to scare us.
 
Okay quick question

When I connect my iphone to itunes to update the firmware it says I have to activate the phone with ATT how do I update the firmware without doing this? Do i need a later version of itunes?
 
No Web connections on Tmobile unlocked iphone

I have a Tmobile account with the sidekick data plan and I recently became a part of the unlocked iphone club.

I can't get any internet programs to work at all. No access to email or anything else. I don't have an IP on the phone neither.

I can see WIFI networks on the screen but can't connect to them.

There is an E next to the T-Mobile name at the top of the screen. How can I get the internet to work without calling T-Mobile and switching my data plan??

Any help would be great! Thanks to all.

The "E" is for Edge. It means your phone is not connected to a wireless network. Mine did that too, the first time. Many do-overs later, the wifi was working. Now, even youtube works and I did nothing to fix it (except maybe power off the phone once or twice to get my names off the SIM).

Make sure your wireless network will allow your phone on (number of users, pw, etc.). Good luck.
 
Using EDGE on the iPhone w/ the SK3 Data Plan to my knowledge isn't possible because all of the data goes through Dangers servers which only allow sidekicks. You've got to call T-Mo and replace your SK3 plan w/ Total Internet which is the same price as the plan you're on.
 
i have my iphone for a week. I'm using a PC and i've tryed allmoust every guide that i found online but still nothing. I have 2 questions:
1) Does the restore brings back the phone to is original settings
2) If i try to unlock my iphone on a MAC is there any difference

With the ipnone.no.. guide i'm receiving ERROR after the first command in minicom even if i do the "AT" command firs.

The AnySim and iUnlock tools doesn't work to me at all even with getting the right permissions for the files.
Any help please....i think i'll give up very soon and go to sleep..
Thank you

iTunes Controll over Music and Podcasts issue

Hi all,

after a few days with my hacked iPhone (I am running it currently during my hollidays here in the US with an AT&T Pay as you Go Card) I have found one major issue when it comes to controlling content on the iPhone.

At first, I was not able to drag and drop Music Files from my activating MacBook to the iPhone. I overcame this, by making a special iPhone Playlist and Synced it to the iPhone. All music is on there now :)

But I have no controll over Podcast content at all. I can listen to all podcasts, but they never get deleted when listened to from the phone. I am also not able to manually highlite and delet them trough iTunes in the iPhone directory. It simply looks as if I do not have the rights to acces the iPhone content at all.....

Anyone with this problem, too????? :eek:

After the first command ignore the error and type the secon d command. It will work
 
:(

So I get this brand new 8gb out of box. I connect it to itunes in restore mode, itunes updates it to 1.0.2 firmware. Then I use ibrickr to jailbreak it and use this method http://iphone.unlock.no/ everything goes fine but when I insert non ATT sim it does not work nor the ATT sims. I dont know what is going on. By this method same way as I described above I already unlocked 5 iphones. Anyone has any clue? BTW I was able to restore it back to factory.
 
Success, using the unlock gui, smooth as silk. The t-mobile rep laughed when I cancelled my BBerry plan...they actually have a iphone package now that there are so many users on T-mo with iPhones...and they even warned me about the 1.1.1 update...:)

How can T-Mobile have an iPhone package when they don't have a relationship with Apple? Are you talking about accessories?

They have some sort of half assed data package...or at least that is what the CSR told me over the phone. Take it for what it is worth.
