Dude, just connect your USB cable to your iphone and make sure you're connected to the net. Your simcard must be in the phone ya. Launch iTunes and tada..a screen will say your phone is activated.

Also, read la the first post made by davidgary73.

hurm... and i tot it was the software problem....

Hi, if i buy a new iPhone 3G, will it comes with firmware 2.2? If it comes with firmware 2.2, then is it possible to unlock it???

Locked one, from UK

Restore and unlock again should be the way.

If it comes with firmware 2.2, that means is 02.28.00 Baseband, so is it possible to software unlock?

Firmware 2.2 PwnageTool 2.2 And Quickpwn Thread



"PwnageTool and Quickpwn Jailbreaks your iPhone or iPod Touch. It also installs two app servers. One is call Cydia 2 and the other Installer 4. As of now, Cydia is the most popular server with firmware 2.0.x-2.2 and Installer 4 is buggy and often hang(may lead to restoring your phone). These two servers are like the AppStore but for free/trial and it provides apps that's not on Apples AppStore. The servers also offer packages which can totally customize your iPhone/iPod Touch (Winterboard), turning it into your own unique looking device".

Before you proceed to JailBreak, please do a full backup with iTunes or manually backup your files with iPhone File Manager. (Only for Jailbroken iPhones)
Refer here for iPhone File manager recommendation: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/779930

iPhone Dev-Team Expects 3G Unlock Before New Year
 
The iPhone Dev-Team is working hard on the iPhone 3G unlock and expects to have it released a couple days after Christmas.

According to team member MuscleNerd the "Target date is a few days after Christmas". At first the unlock will be released for the 3G iPhone's with the 01.45.00 baseband. If time permits the Dev-Team will try to complete an unlock for the 02.11.07 baseband as well. Right now for 02.11.07 we have some untested ideas. Ideally we'd have something solid by the end of next week, but if we don't then it would be a staged release, with 01.45.00 first out of the gate.

Here is a list of the iPhone firmware versions and their matching basebands.
- 2.0.0 Firmware & 01.45.00 Baseband
- 2.0.1 Firmware & 01.48.02 Baseband
- 2.0.2 Firmware & 02.08.01 Baseband
- 2.1.0 Firmware & 02.11.07 Baseband
- 2.2.0 Firmware & 02.28.00 Baseband

Those of you lucky enough to still be on 2.0.0 or the 01.45.00 baseband will be able to unlock first. If you are at 2.1 or used PwnageTool to update to 2.2 then you will have the 2.11.07 baseband. This will be the second baseband to receive an unlock.

Those on the 02.28.00 baseband will likely have to wait a while before an unlock is released. So make sure you use a tutorial on iClarified site to jailbreak and update rather then using iTunes directly.

3G Unlock

We have been working hard on a few other things. The main one being the 3G unlock codenamed “yellowsn0w”. This is now completed and is currently being packaged into a user-friendly application with the simplicity that you see in QuickPwn or BootNeuter.


• The target release date for the unlock is New Year’s Eve 2008.
• This unlock method is available to iPhone 3Gs that have 2.11.07 baseband or earlier, we did warn you.
• You can tell what version baseband you have by going to Settings->General->About->Modem Firmware
• The unlock requires a jailbroken 3G iPhone.  It’ll be installable via Cydia and so it doesn’t matter if you have a Mac or PC.
• Please refrain from updating your baseband, regardless of what version you’re at.  We’ll have complete directions on New Year’s Eve.
• We’ll stream a live demo of the unlock before Christmas (see the update at the end of this post)

DFU Problems

Lots of users have been experiencing problems with the use of DFU mode after applying yesterday’s 10.5.6 system update.

We believe this behavior is due to a kernel bug not a specific countermeasure by Apple. Possible fixes are (try at your own risk!) -

1. Replace the following plugin kexts from within IOUSBFamily.kext with the ones from 10.5.5 and then rebuild kextcache (if you don’t understand this, then you shouldn’t attempt it!)

/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBHub.kext

/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOUSBCompositeDriver.kext

2. Use a USB hub in-between the DFU device and the Mac and insert/reinsert the iPhone’s USB cable.

3. Use a PwnageTool created .ipsw on Windows! Oh the irony!

Update: Live Demo

Sometime before Christmas, MuscleNerd will show a live demo of the unlock (and some other random nucleus and pwnage stuff).  It’ll be streamed live via the awesome Qik application, and announced via his Twitter account just as the broadcast begins.
