Backside of iPhone 3GS becomes hot after jailbreak

[saumilmehta]

Hi

I am using iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.0 with baseband 05.13.04.

Whenever I use 'Data' service on iPhone... battery becomes hot and drains out very fast.

Anyone can help me out on this?

Did you activate your iPhone with a legitimate SIM card (SIM of the carrier your phone is locked to, or any SIM if you're factory/carrier unlocked) in iTunes?

This is very common with hacktivated phones on iOS 4.1 and later (so it may also apply to 4.0)--while I will not bore you with technical details; I will just say it is necessary to activate legitimately with iTunes--deactivate with redsn0w 0.9.6rc8, and re-activate with either a legitimate SIM or SAM (Download in Cydia from repository repo.bingner.com).

If you legitimately activated your phone with a SIM in iTunes, attempt restoring your firmware and seeing if that remedies your issues. If it doesn't, you likely have a hardware issue and should get your phone serviced/replaced.

Does it mean I will have to install everything again? or have to do just the activate part?

You just have to do the activate part, there should be no data loss. Please note you will not have cellular service while the phone is "deactivated" after doing the deactivation process in redsn0w (but it should return after activated with iTunes).

If your iPhone is originally from the USA, then you will either need an AT&T SIM card (easier, preferred method) or the SAM tool from http://repo.bingner.com.

Guide on how to use SAM.
