What is the different betwene jailbreak and unlock?
Thanks
Having done all this, I now have no carrier signal! I restored to the original firmware and got a signal again (phew)..
I'm on O2 in the UK. - Anything I can do?
I too have the same problem after the jailbreak, no carrier signal and I am also on an o2 contract in the UK.
sorted - all you need to do is unckech the 'activate phone' box during step six. Then when you connect to iTunes it'll download the correct carrier settings for you. all good now!
cant do it comes up with error 1600
Brent,
You aren't putting your device into DFU mode correctly. This is how to do it for sure: Hold down the power and home button at the same time untill it recognizes it in restore mode. Keep holding it. It'll take about 30 sec. Do not let go untill itunes or PWNAGE rec. it as in rtecovery mode. You will be ok if you do that.
if you are on ATT&T DO NOT click activate phone and youtbe fix. its common sence people.
I love to try this, but I am wondering what happen when Apple has a software update? Will I beable to use the Apple update or does it have to be re-hacked again
If I jailbreak my 3g will I be able to restore from backup (in itunes) all my current settings? (email, apps, music, videos etc or will I loose the jailbreak settings if I restore from backup?
MacPc,
You need to build a new package with PwangeTool and restore your phone with iTunes each time Apple releases a new firmware update.
JayPC,
You loose your current settings with this technique as it is restoring your phone. Make sure to backup your phone first by syncing with iTunes. Use the same computer you loaded all your data from so you can get your data back.
Followed this guid, I freed my iPhone from Guantanamo , I love my iPhone so much more now :)))
Thanks guys!
Does the same process apply with the itouch?
Apologies up front for the long note. But I have done my share of googling for my issue but cannot seem to find the answer. Anyway, the hope is that someone here can help. So here I go.....
I am currently in spain, and would like to have the new 3G iphone ( dont have it yet). I will be traveling to the US in about a week a, so getting the handset is not the issue. That will be done. However, what I would like to do is to 'unlock' the iphone, so that I can use it with my prepaid account here in spain.
As such, the simple question is that if I go through the method listed here, will I able to use the phone with my prepaid card account (Local SIM) in spain or not?
My concern is that I dont want to fork over huge amounts to have a device that does not work.
Thanks for any help/guidance on the matter
anno.,
there is no unlock for 3G iphone yet so,no, you will not be able to use it on an un-authorized sim.
I can't open the restore files with itunes. Please help
