helo guys there i needs some help...
i updated my iphone which unlock using turbo sim, after that i realise it cant be use...what should i do?

@BLjack

Ouchhh....a very big ouch. Sorry my friend, you should have read the first post before you upgrade. Read below:

Locked iPhone 3G - Preserve Baseband
This applies if you have a locked iPhone 3G and you wish to update to 2.2 but preserve the iPhone’s current baseband software. Preserving the baseband will give you the maximum chance for any upcoming software unlock. Upgrading using iTunes can forever eliminate your chances of ever unlocking you iPhone 3G.
To upgrade your phone to 2.2 and preserve the state of the baseband you need to create a custom .ipsw with PwnageTool. This custom .ipsw will not contain the baseband update but of course will still allow all the cool new stuff from 2.2. There are plenty of tutorials about this process on the web, but PwnageTool contains intuitive graphics and easy to follow prompts that should have you up and running in no time at all. Please note: PwnageTool is only available for Mac OS X.
*If you're using Turbosim etc and would like to upgrade your firmware to 2.2, Pwnagetool will be the only software used to upgrade your firmware. Upgrading via iTunes and using Quickpwn will render your turbosim useless thus eliminating your chances of ever unlocking your iPhone 3G with software unlock.

I guess you're out of lucky until a proper hardware unlock simcard comes about. For now, you'll will have an very expensive ipod touch.

Yes..u have to wait till one comes out.

Sorry mate.

If you wanna downgrade your baseband, check this post: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/790913/+960#entry21792662

Be warn that not many suscessfully downgrade and it;s up to you to risk it.

Nope..is better to hold till a proper turbosim is available for Fw 2.2.

If you proceed to downgrade, it may get even worst. Better to be safe than sorry.

wanna asked something.

One of the important instructions for iPhone 3G users who wanna update to 2.2 but still have the desire  to unlock it in the future is not to jailbreak the iPhone using quickpwn ( this is the best way i can put my words! ), but use pwnagetools instead. this is mainly because of the baseband??! thingy.
*
Yes..is due to the baseband. Quickpwn method is to have your phone upgraded to the firmware 2.2 first before you jailbreak. This will update the basebnd.

QUOTE
Ive JB my iphone using the pwnage tools --> simple mode( dun have the balls to use the advance mode ). So, say in the next 2 weeks, they ( dev team ) come out with a way to unlock iPhone 3G, will it be ok for me? or, does the "important instruction" only pointed to those who JB their iPhone 3g using pwnage tools + altering something advance mode that wont disturb the baseband.

i hope someone understand what im trying to say!
*
Expert mode is really simple. Follow the guide provided and you'll have no problems. Trust me..is really easy. I use it everytime.

As for the software unlock, you'll be fine if you have not upgraded the baseband given if you're using a Lock 3G iPhone. If you're using an officially unlock 3G iPhone, there's no worries even if you upgrade the firmware via iTunes or Quickpwn.

I would keep my baseband intact with Pwnagetool even tho i have an Unlock unit.

Cheers

Hi guys any idea how to install the installer software into the 3G 2.2 iphone? I am asking this because my iphone
doesn't came with the installer.

By the way my iphone is using the Linux FW. Spelling?

Thanks.

Click here or here to download the Installer 4.0 Beta application.

Note - This is NOT for the ‘noobs’. This involves typing in the ‘command line’ terminal(to chmod Installer).

Now how do you get that onto your device? First you will need to have a jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch. . .then you’ll need 2 applications called WinSCP and Putty.

1. After you have downloaded and extracted the Installer 4.0 beta archive. . .you need to upload it to your device.
2. Open WinSCP and login to your iPhone or iPod Touch. - The username is ‘root’ and the password is ‘alpine’.
3. Upload the ‘Installer.app’ folder to the /Applications/’ directory.
4. Close WinSCP and open up putty.
5. SSH into your device with putty - again the username is ‘root’ and the password is ‘alpine’.
6. Type this into putty after you have logged in
chmod -R 777 “/Applications/Installer.app”
7. After pressing enter, now type this into putty
chmod a+srx “/Applications/Installer.app/Installer”
8. Now press enter and that’s it!
9. Restart your iPhone or iPod Touch and you’ll have your Installer 4.0 beta app installed correctly.

wooo... just finished browsing thru all 68 pages of this thread:) Long. But was trying to absorb the stuff so as not to get flame by asking silly Qs:)

I'll be getting my Australia Prepaid (Optus) iPhone 3G this CNY. An unlock request have been put in to Optus/Apple. Should get it around 23rd Jan. The unlock process will be done in Australia/Malaysia depending on when the sms from Apple is receive.

I read that even officially unlock Australia set can be lock back later when we tried to update. I read this AFTER i cfm with my fren to purchase the unit. I did a search and sure enough there r such cases. Just to cfm, my option if this happens is to request for another unlock (submitting IMEI & model num) OR use yellowsnow to unlock. Correct?

I have also been preparing to JB the phone. Downloaded both pwnagetool 2.2.1 and quickpwn 2.2.

1. Which is better? So far its a split between the 2 as I read the forum. But it seems to me that quickpwn install both Cydia & Installer, while pwnagetool allows you to choose one or the other or both. And some of u actually advise against Installer as its unstable. So if dont want Installer, the only option is pwnagetool right?

2. I have read the iClarified instruction page. Since my iPhone has the latest version, do I still need to use the customer firmware? A little confuse about this custom firmware (probably trying to absorb too much in as little time as possible).

3. If the JB didnt go smoothly, do I just re-JB again using pwnage or have to restore using iTunes and JB?

Sorry its a bit long. That's what happen when one read 68 pages of text:P

Thanks

Thank you so much for reading the thread mate. Not everyone has that much patiences to read 68 pages. Awesome mate. Cheers

As for your questions, here are some answers:

1) If you're on Mac, I would highly recommend Pwnagetool as i do use it to JB lot's of iPhones. Installer has gotten better since the last updates. I have it just incase.

2) Even tho you may have the latest firmware, you can use Quickpwn to JB but i would choose to use Pwnagetool for all my JB's. I prefer to customise my partition and what i would like to install from Cydia.

3) Just reJB again if it fails with Pwnagetool.

As frozzbyte has answered you. He's the man and truly a master in iPhone.

Cheers

@frossbyte + davidgary73

Thanks:)

Q: Lets say i use pwnage now, and created the custom firmware (did i write customer??), and later down the road, after installing some 3rd party apps, something went wrong. I can just use pwnage again with the customer firmware to restore the iPhone to where it is now? Skipping iTunes altogether?

Will report back once I get my hands on my 'baby':) 2 more wks to go:(

*
You need to redo the custom frimware via Pwangetool again and you can't skip iTunes. Do read the guides provided on first post and also you may wanna save it as pdf for future reference.

Just do a restore to the default Fw 2.2 firmware to have your phone functioning again.

Do contact Hanxz for assistance. Head to his thread below.
