Just jailbreak it on 4.0? 4.0.1 didn't introduce much anyways.

i cant connect to wifi like i said

[neodude237]

Ehh, overlooked that sorry. Don't have a data plan?

[wingback1144]

i have tmobile and the phone was for at&t, i bought it thinking i could easily jailbreak it but i hardly know anything about them and its not as easy as i thought lol

[neodude237]

There are a couple other ways to jailbreak for the 3GS, but they are a little more complicated then I care to elaborate on, mostly depending on your bootrom and if you have shshs for 3.1.2 or 3.1.3. I'd suggest just going to a starbucks and using their wifi to jailbreak to be honest.

[wingback1144]

i have the old bootrom and i have no shshs because i just bought it and i bought it with 4.0 already on it. and i have wifi at my house, the router is literally within arms reach so thats why i think it needs to be update or atleast restored but i cant do anything because itune isnt signing anything but 4.02 and theres no way to jailbreak 4.02

It won't connect to wifi at all though? What happens when you try?

[wingback1144]

ok i have a belkin route and its password protected. so i go thur the normal set up. setting..wiki.. choose a network.. and i choose my router and enter the password then hit join. then it has joining belkin..... but nothing happens after that. it just stays like that and does check. i hit the home button and go to safari and it says not connected to the internet. i have no idea why

[neodude237]

Do other wifi devices connect fine? Tinker with the security settings? Also try to reset network settings on the iPhone.

[wingback1144]

yea my laptop connects to it fine and how do i reset the network settings?

[neodude237]

General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

[wingback1144]

the only opinion i get in the general > reset is reset home screen layout =/

[neodude237]

What?? That's kinda strange. Try messing with your router's security settings? (if it's on wep, change it to wpa, or the other way around, etc)

[wingback1144]

ok ill give it a try and i know. i didnt think to completely check the phone out when i bought it

[neodude237]

Eeeee, try some other routers if you can, I'd guess it's more likely to be a router issue than iPhone, but I could be totally wrong.

[wingback1144]

i hope its my router lol i want to lol i want to use my iphone

Just walk around the neighborhood and leech off an open network just don't do anything naughty!
