Hi,

I've been using iPhone without jailbreak for 1 year ( iPhone with polish ORANGE's SIM lock ), however now I'm studying in London and I need to use english SIM card. Yesterday I made jailbreak to my iPhone. Before I made Jailbreak I updated my software in Itunes to 3.1.2 . Everything went great ( I made it with pwngtool 3.1.4 ) but unfortunately I still can't use english sim card because phone is blocked. I heard that 3.1.2 can't be unlocked, but I'm really fresh in that things and I don't know what to do :( Maybe should I downgrade software to 3.0, unlock it with cydia's ultrasn0w, and then do an update? If yes, please tell me how can I make it. I'm really stupid in these things, PLEASE GIVE ME HELP :( NOW I'M PAYING A LOT OF MANY FOR USING POLISH CAREER IN UK, I CAN'T AFFORD ON IT :( please give me step by step

regards, a lot of thanks,
M.
 
I believe that once your baseband(which allows for unlocking) is updated, there's absolutely no way of downgrading it.

well...can you help us with what iphone you are using?
 
Even when someone will publish 3.0 custom ipsw file? Do someone think that's a chance that ONE DAY ( i mean close future ) will someone publish software to unlock new baseband from sim lock?
 
Ok, but unfortunately I think i've updated my baseband ( with 3.1.2 update from itunes before jailbreak ). It means that ANYTHING can help me? Can I install back old baseband? What another I can do to take off that SIM lock? Please help me
 
Sadly, I don't know of anything you can do.

The only thing I can think of to try is to ask Orange in Poland if they will unlock it officially for you, given the situation. I know Orange in France do that, but I don't know about Poland. It's worth a try.
