Oh sorry, stupid question here. Btw, if you can tolerate me, I have another stupid q. I already jailbreak my phone. Do I really need to unlock it again even though I'm using official unlock set (australia apple store set)? Because I saw some guide in this forum say you need to unlock either way.

Thanks in advance, for tolerating my noob q, lol

if it is officially unlock then y u need to unlock it again? which forum say that officially unlock iphone need to be unlock again ? officially unlock iphone will never need to use software to unlock..... if u restore or upgrade your firmware....u just need to connect to itune which have internet connection to activative d iphone.....

Another method by geohotz in unlock iPhone 3GS. His own unlocking method.

These are instructions on how to unlock the iPhone 3GS for use with any GSM cellphone carrier using PurpleSn0w. Geohot has posted stating that the purplesn0w unlock should improve issues with wifi, battery, and the unlock itself.

@ejslayer

Read this and use the iPhone_3.0_Maxis_my.ipcc.zip to enable MMS & Tethering: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/752226

i've done dat bro, n i did it again using ur link there. + i already also did the maxis logo carrier on top. all success except for the MMS options.

That's not a good sign. I hope you did a reboot after you uploaded the ipcc file. Btw, do you have Cellular Data Network column in Settings/General/Network?

yes i do..

Go to Settings > Messages. Turn ON MMS Messaging

bro, appreciate ur kind words. but as i said, im having a prob with that particular OPTION setting in messaging. i do not have "Turn ON MMS Messaging". i did couple of jailbreak on other iphone n it all works flawlessly. im just having difficulties with this particular unit only. if you have any other idea's do let me know, im opened with suggestions. thx again. n owh, i've restored couple of times d. still d same.


anyway, david, any other suggestions ? i do have "Cellular Data Network" column.

bro,

try referring to DG's guide here. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1061070

I added a section that allows you to enter ANY carrier's MMS settings, and install them directly to your iPhone. All you need is the APN name. Do give it a shot, I was having trouble with my cellular data too, but this seems to have fixed it.

Yes, I know it's actually for tethering, but why not try?

i've successfully unlock digi and celcom but not maxis and u-mobile..
tried removed and reinstall ultrasnow.. any tips?

@ejslayer:
your case is kinda odd. my advise is for you restore, rejailbreak and ultrasn0w again but the decision is up to you. (since you've went through a lot getting it to work)

@ddww:
care to clarify more? as u ultrasn0w-ed, pop in digi and celcom sim, it worked while maxis and umobile doesn't?

Er, why did you remove ultrasn0w?

My jb'ed 3G has no problems with Maxis or U Mobile.

im not sure im doing the things right or not...
after jb-ed it, i can straight away use digi and celcom card but not the maxis and umobile
tried to install ultrasnow, after successful it will ask you to return to cydia am i right?
then i return to cydia and performed a restart, and still sim lock for maxis...
tried to rejb-ed it and still the same...

btw, im on
version 3.0 (7A341)
Carrier 4.0
Baseband 04.26.08

jailbreaking isn't the same as unlocking.

Jailbreaking only allows the installation of 3rd party apps.

Unlocking allows you to use ANY GSM sim card. Where's your iphone from?

i noticed dat some said the Carrier is "Maxis 4.0", while mine is "Carrier 4.0" does this make any diff ?



ok, now only i realize, i dont have "Internet Tethering" option either. haizz..

yeah i understand tat, it is just tat i haven even install redsnow and it can already support digi and celcom sim
any tips what shall i do now?
its from ebay US. bought it in US.

btw, i tried to delete every content and restore the iphone to the factory setting (man it took 3 hr and the apple logo is still there...) is there anything i can do?

Wow, a US set that can support digi and celcom straightaway?

This really sounds fishy. would the resident experts here know if the phone was HARDWARE unlocked instead?
