SIM CARD FAILURE/Jailbroken iphone 3g. Ver 2.2.1, firmware 02.30.03 Please help!
I was so excited to see the SIM card adapter in the mail. I read the instructions on Item and did as instructed. As I have a TMobile SIM card (which was inside of a blackberry 8120), I thought this was the answer by getting this adapter. I waited, and saw "NO SERVICE" then I saw it change to "------" and then to "TMobile" for just a second, then it went to INVALID SIM. - I tried it again and the same thing. I have also made sure that I included the VPN code epc.tmobile.com - username/password are both blank. Nothing gives - it continues to say INVALID SIM. Can someone please help me?
YES, the iphone is jailbroken btw Also, the sim adapter came from Ebay, click to see the exact product that I am using: 2.2.1 iPhone 3G 8GB 16GB 02.30.03 Turbo Sim Unlock Card - eBay (item 260406879499 end time May-14-09 17:31:36 PDT) |
You realize this is a BlackBerry forum... right?
|
Yes, just thought that since I was moving my SIM card from a BLACKBERRY that I would find someone that had knowlege of my issue. Thanks Raptor.

the iphone has a slightly different unlocking system than other smartphones. that device may not be compatible with the iphone. also, if the phone was jailbroken, you wouldnt need any unlocking adapter.
eithe3r way, this is a berry forum, and is not a sim card issue. you will get more answers from an iphone forum |
SIM adapters are not the right way to unlock iPhones. Apple updates their software to compensate for them.
Please download yell0wsn0w from Cydia, and your iPhone will be unlocked. |

Agreed. So. Case closed? |
So don't jailbroken iPhones re-lock when you update the OS? Once you unlock a Blackberry it's unlocked forever. This jailbreak method seems like a temporary solution.
|
pretty easy though, you just dont update until the yellowsn0w team updates the unlock. its easy.

in PC terms: "jailbreaking" an iphone is like editing the registry on a computer. unlocking is like adding new hardware..... jailbreaking is only a tweak where as unlocking is the actual fix |
another reason its inferior. You have to wait for a hacker to hack the phone to get it done.

Jailbroken and unlocked are two totally different things in the iPhone world. Jailbroken is a hack to allow you to load applications for sources other than the Apple App Store. It has NOTHING to do with unlocking.
Unlocking, as mentioned above, can be done with yell0wsn0w from Cydia, unless you have upgraded the iPhone to the latest radio code, in which case you are SOL. But you can still Jailbreak an upgraded phone. |

Go to cydia and download 3G fuzzyband downgrader and it will tell you which bootloader you have, and if you have the 5.8, it will downgrade the baseband for you. The turbosim adapter you purchase should work with your iphone, did you turn off 3G before you reboot you iphone? |
