hi seniors,

i have very smart brain and i have accidentally updated my firmware to 2.2.1, meaning it's running at baseband of 2.30.3, which means i have screwed up, congratulate me.

since i do not know when the dev team will release the unlock for 2.30.3 baseband, i was thinking if i could use those sim unlocker, like a chip or something, some people said MINE IS WORKING PERFECTLY!! some say there is alot of problems and preferred unlocked phones, well i am actually very blur now and do not know whats going to happen if i use a sim unlocker too, this is my planning, use a sim unlocker first and wait for the unlock release, when its released unlock the phone and use back a normal digi sim card.

anyone can give me any suggestion or advise? whats gonna happen if i use a sim unlocker?

thanks in advance seniors.

Congratulations. Always read before doing such upgrades on a Lock 3G iPhones.

I reckon you can use those turbosim or whatever they called it.

Cheers

ohh thank you so much for the infomation, well ive read it already, it seems most of the problem is the network failure la 3g connection fail lah, but do u think its worth using? i am phoneless, whats ur opinion of me using a turbo sim untill dev team release unlock for 2.30.3 baseband?

thanks again!

thank you Selinix, truely appreciated =) anyway, nobody knows when it will be released rite? 3 months? 6 months? 1 year? 2 year? TOMORROW? HAHAHA

Dont worry bout the unlock thingie. Dev team usually manage 2 unlok it less than a year. Hahahaha.
But on the serious note, it should be very soon. Believe in them!

serious note? soon? where?? you mean they are able to release the unlock very soon? wooo...... in other words, its asking me not to go for those sim unlocker right guys?

depends if you need to use a phone urgently...

Rather than waiting for the Dev Team solution and phone-less, might as well you try the "turbo sim" solution.. at least you have a "phone"!

I am running a 3G unlocker and it is doing great I can't tell any difference, I know if you're like me you can't afford to have an expensive iphone lying around not getting any use out of it, so I can honestly say get the unlocker and use your Iphone because right now all you have is a very expensive ipod.

i actually started another thread about my sim unlocker but nvm ill just continue here..

i have gotten my sim unlocker gevey 3g, it gets no network at all, no signal no nothing at all. dissapointed again ...

i use digi anyway.

OMG..im in this situation too sad!!! wtf..just got my phone from ken6828..he said from singtel ..so i update it.. ZZZ not working ANYMORE!!!!!.. i havent put in my sim card yet ..(b4 purchased, tested with my sis digi sim) ... SAD SAD SAD

singtel set are official unlocked, u do restore and let itunes activate it by itself, the whole process is less than 5 minutes, after that only proceed with jailbreak

u can refer ur part number here

no..i dun think mine is a SG set now!

Refer to the part number and check out your country of orgin then? Its not only singapore sets are official unlock, iPhones from other countries also have official unlock sets

ok thanks for the info.. now try to restoring..keep Error 16

well..i try ask my seller..he said he bought from Singapore... can guide me a lil bit?

im too confused and messed up..
well..i ask my sis to cod with him in KL yesterday (my sis back today to KK)..so when test..ok..can call/sms etc etc..so she just landed here in kk 8pm..i take then i saw is fw 2.2

so if i want to upgrade to 2.2.1 (LET say is a SINGTEL set) ..should i just press the upgarade/restore (without SHIFT) or just the Page 1 Firmware?

now i saw my baseband is 02.30.3 ..i put my sim cannot already..

Added on February 19, 2009, 12:06 amwhere to see part number?

Set>Gen>model?
written MB489X..

dun have box when i bought it

This post has been edited by tornad0: Feb 19 2009, 12:06 AM

MB489X = Australia Set

Hmm, for aus sets, i think u need to pay a lil' amount for the respective telcos to unlock it



AUD 150x2.3610 = RM 354.15

U have 3 options :
1. Get someone back to Australia to unlock it for u
2. Buy a turbo sim << most viable
3. Wait for yellowsn0w dev team to crack the 2.30.00 baseband

anybody know how or where ca unlock iphone 3G from singapore, coz i bought sim lock iphone PM me pls

Iphone from singapore is unlock already dude ....

he could have been conned by the phone seller into thinking that it is a SingTel set which in actual fact may not be.

such incidents always happen (not just in singapore). but to be fair, who on earth walks around with a list of unlocked iphones from apple whilst shopping for an iphone.

reading all the statement made me realize there's some ppl who are waiting for a chance to con someone...
hopefully those who are new and interested to get iphone better do their homework or else end up being cheated....
and boy... we do not talking about 20sen or RM20 here.... so plz be careful....

Indeed, there is once my friend almost bought Iphone with ridiculously cheap price from sg wang. Luckily she call me first and ask me is it possible a singapore set sold with that price.

anyone can suggest me a good sim unlocker that works with DIGI line? my baseband is 2.30.3 and there is no unlock yet =(

so most probably ill use a simunlocker till the unlock is out =)

anyone any good suggestion in sim unlocker? thxxxxx

Quoting from my previous reply :

Anyway which Gevey model are u using currently?

The latest is the Gevey 3G Plus 2 Version

And reviews from the net says Rebel is better than Gevey and can redetect signal after lost

Ohhh. Cool it seems the gevey 3g plus2 will work with my. Current firmwanre and baseband, ill probably buy the gevey 3g, anyway can i get it at low yat plaza? If yes how much it'll roughly cost hmm? Thanks

Buying from Singapore doesn't guarantee an unlock set.... we still need to check the Part Number.
I bought mine from Singapore last year but its a US set.

w0ot.. that damn scary one IF forgot to check the product code
anyway, thanks for informing/ reminder

yeah..i got mine AUS set now locked lol ..Ipod Touch!

Have purchased different versions of Gevey SIM umlock cards through eBay from a supplier in HKG - from 2.0.2 to 2.2 (used the 2. version fom beginning of Dec 2008) and found the cards to be reliable and does work. They have just released Gevey 3g PLUS 2 which is supposed to work on baseband 2.3. All the cards cost me only about USD8.99 each with free shipping and I have used the earlier Gevey cards even before the Dev team release their unlock functions and all the unlock cards worked.
Based on this experience, I would trust that their 2009 version will work for baseband 2.3.
Do not know when the Dev team will release thier unlock apps.
No harm spending less than RM30 to try instead of having a expensive iPod for a few months.
Received my cards about 7 working days from the time when I ordered the cards. I am not promoting any of these suppliers but you could check them out on eBay.

The only problem is that you will need a new SIM unlock card every time you upgrade the baseband by mistake!

thanks for the info!

hey does anyone know who is selling the Gevey SIM unlock in garage sales??i cant find it tho...

look for CRXR he is selling one am im going to find him soon.
