An understanding on the kill switch function.

It applies to all JB phones. Matter its lock and unlock as a whole.
Applies to those using unauthorized apps downloads Cydia or Installer or others beside those from app store.

Thanx for the info, but unable to find it om the itunes. Is it my is different version? I'm on Itunes 8.

@ pjastro


there is no restore button on his itunes page because he has not activated the phone yet (therefore a screen showing that the sim card appears to be unsupported)

On Summary page in iTunes.
Once you hook up on the left the device you will see iphone.
Click your device.
On the page you can see summary tab. Its there on version row.

That is correct. Anything that I can do to activate it?

pjastro

when connected I can't select the iphone although I can see it. Later the screen will come the sim card is not supported.

PwnageTool to activate.
Just to make sure you are on the same frequency. I am on a mac.
Initially, remove simcard. Run PwnageTool.
After restore with custom ipsw then slot back in the sim card.

If you are on a pc. Sorry I have no knowledge how to create custom ipsw. to restore.

Will try to remove the sim card run the Pwnage tool. Thanx.

Just a little note.
In future if Apple release new FW update. Remove your simcard and you may update successfully. All your apps downloaded from Cydia will gone. From there you may have to wait for JB to release.

I done that from 2.0.2 to 2.1

Ok, thanks.

Let me know whether it works for you.

Guys i got 1 problem..
y i jailbreak it oledi... i put in my sim card i oledi put my simcard pin code also.. y i cant see to see the operator & the bar signal ? & i cant even called out..

I was aware of the case. Thats why I change the sticker every week.

then your sim card ejector will eventually be loose...

Alamak. Liddat.. I will need to think of a new way.

Any ideas?

how about believing that putting-a-piece-of-cellophane-to-improve-network-strength is only a myth? because i have personally tried it out when i was on the first gen and it doesn't work as endorsed.

@TearDrop

Why not get a replacement for the sim card ejector?

I think it is very hard to find iphone 1st gen accessories. Cant find it in ebay either.

Well, it worked for me. Before this the phone is always runs out of signal and when that happens, the phone automaticly locks my sim and i would have to type my pincode all over again.


Sounds like the best solution but... where to get?

Is there anyone in this forum selling it?

Crxr might have stock with him. Do call him and ask if it's available.
