Jailbreaking with redsn0w requires DFU mode
I'm not sure if redsn0w is built in with hacktivation (it wasn't like 2 years ago when I last used it). If redsn0w doesn't let you jailbreak it, you need to activate the device first
Assuming you did it correct, you should just need to put the gevey sim and it'll activate (I'm not sure how the gevey sim and other related hardware work)
Another alternative for hacktivation is make a custom firmware with sn0wbreeze if you can't activate it with the gevey sim or redsn0w
As a side note, your hosts file is pointing to cydia's server, not apple's server
Yippee.. I can finally see v5.1.1 with the same baseband as 4.10.01 on my iphone settings but there is a twist in the tale ...
The SIM which is otherwise working in my other iPhone (factory unlocked) is getting as "No Service" in the iPhone with Gevey Sim (the one which I just upgraded)
Now I wonder if this iOS upgrade has got something to do with it!! It is NOT showing an Invalid SIM but No Service after detecting the SIM. Any solutions please?? OR Is that now I need to again downgrade to my previous version i.e. 4.3??
