Hello forumers. Ive sent my 3gs to the same shop to update my OS where i bought the phone itself. Honestly im newbie at iphone but one of my friend said to update my phone's OS as it is 3.1.2 which he said is old when i bought it last week. And thus, the shop updated my phone to 4.1 and as a result, my phone is now locked and i can't use any sim card on it. Obviously this pissed me off and the salesperson simply said '' u didnt tell me which OS to update so i simply update to the latest one loh '' im begging for the help of any forumers here as to how i can solve this problem and use my iphone again before ill head to the shop with the big daddy if no other ways can be taken. If by any means this topic can't be discuss here or anywhere else in this forum due to certain reasons, anyone who knows how to solve this pls kindly pm me. Thank you.

SHSH only allows you to downgrade/upgrade firmware , if he downgrades to 3.1.3 , he is screwed. Baseband once is upgraded cannot be downgraded. Only 3G (earlier models) can downgrade their baseband , the rest are screwed
Nope , not going to help. Next time if you are using a US iPhone set , dont bother upgrading. Simple as that , if you follow your friends advice who clearly lacks of the proper iPhone knowledge , you'll be doomed. Plus going into a shop and personally asking them to upgrade is a failure , they should have checked if the phone is factory unlocked or not , but most people dont bother to do it anyway

You bought US set and you bear the risk
I'll be closing this thread later , FYI . I'll just wait for your reply and close it up later

If u refer to my earlier post, i upgraded the phone at the same shop where i bought it at low yat. Thus, if they know its a US set why would they even bother to upgrade it. I know i asked for it, but for a reasonable man with proper knowledge in phones they shouldve stopped me then. I didnt know its a US set.They said it's a simfree phone. I didnt bother to check as I don't even know how to differentiate between a locked and simfree set. I guess i got scammed. Going back to the shop soon.
