ok guys, i just restored / jailbreak / install ultrasn0w all over again just to cover if i had left any of the tutorial steps..so now its working, guess i did missed sumthing. anyways, i already sent n mms to my iphone but nothing happen, are there any mms configurations i need to input 1st ? like nokia / se n all, we need to save the configuration files n whatnot to activate d mms settings rite, so..is it the same for iphone ? text messaging works great tho..

do you restore using itunes or restore manually? if restore manually try to use the method teikwing show you.

using itunes 8.2 bro. still no luck for me after last nite. sad.gif is it possible dat my iphone is faulty ? sad.gif

ok guys, i've read everything all over again n it seems i missed this one step, but im not sure if it will solve d prob im having, so just to make it clear..
-do i need to take out my simcard during restore ? (coz i did restore my phone b4 this with sim card in my iphone n it works great)
-do i have to insert my simcard during jailbreak / redsn0w ?

plz guys, maybe if u can clear things up for me, it will be a great help. wink.gif thx.


Added on June 25, 2009, 8:06 amomg...this is very frustrating...when im done with the restore without simcard, jailbreak, unlock, Searching...No Service, after awhile, No SIM ! i give up..
anyone can help me out by providing unlocking service ? i dont wanna send to shops as i am not confident with them, not on their skills but rather not sure if they r trustworthy..

that's an odd case. mine is working well previously with yellowsn0w too and so does ultrasn0w. mind to tell us which carrier you're on?

here's all the steps i went through (in my case):

1. Download and update iTunes to 8.2
2. Download redsn0w 0.7.2
3. Download iPhone 3G 3.0 firmware
4. Restore iPhone 3G in iTunes to firmware 3.0
5. Jailbreak using redsn0w (install only Cydia)
6. Load Cydia and add Source "repo666.ultrasn0w.com"
7. Search for "ultrasnow" and download
8. Download completed (No signal yet)
9. Reboot iPhone
10. "Searching" comes up and Maxis carrier shows right after that.

*There's no need for me to take out the sim card at any time through out the restoring, jailbreaking and unlocking process.

do check again and  go through the whole process again. if after everything and still failed, consult Hanxz here.
*
that's exactly how i did it bro. im on maxis btw. haizz..damn frustrating. thx for all ur help guys, will consult Hanxz n see if he can help. thx again. wink.gif

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..

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? smile.gif
*
so, u suggest i try the tethering guide ?

*note : i found another phone dat have same problem as mine. iphone 3g 16gb, no MMS option in the Messaging Options. i didnt jb it, sum1else did. everything else is a success..just no MMS Option. n he's using Celcom.

i read back then that there are possibilities dat you might have an embedded turbosim inside your iphone, how do i confirm this n what are d symptoms if im having probs with turbosim embedded in my iphone... ?


Added on August 16, 2009, 12:08 amn bro, how do i check my iphone region eh ? im already fedup n if cant solve this matter in a week i will smash this damn phone n get another one from maxis. F*ck !


Added on August 16, 2009, 12:09 amsorry for d 'F' word...im sooo pissed off rite now.


Added on August 16, 2009, 2:17 pmi guess i found d culprit n yes..there is an embedded turbo sim in my phone.. DAMN ! i already carefully trimmed all the wires connected to the board n now..i got a "No Sim" issue.. i notice there dat there's a copper been taped. i guess it is so dat it wont connect to the iphone sim tray n connect with the Turbo Sim instead.. now everything's related to Turbo Sim been removed, im stuck with No Sim error...i think i need to "patri" back the iphone sim tray to the motherboard then i think it will solve everything.. but i dont have the equipment needed.. anyone here can help me out ?
