Need help hacktivating ios 6.1

[wazzup101]

Hello guys,

I'm in need of some help to hacktivate my iPhone which I updated to 6.1

I tried sn0wbreeze, but to no avail


anyway, if anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.


Thanks,
Wazzup.

What type of iPhone?

[wazzup101]

iPhone 4

Have you tried redsnow? Why do you need to hactivate it?

[wazzup101]

I tried Redsn0w, but it says that Exploit failed.

Why;

I was jailbroken, but I updated so I went to jailbreak with the new evasi0n, but I need to activate to go ahead...(hope I make sense, so lost lol)

[Simon]

You have to point redsnow to a 6.0 firmware first before jailbreaking for it to work.

Do you not have a SIM card to activate it?

[wazzup101]

Yeah I put 6.0 ---> then DFU mode ---> Exploit failed

-i put my sim in, doesn't recognise it, i think its because its not the official one, had this problem on other ioS's, but hactivating fixes it, then unlock with ultrasnow

for now i need to hacktivate it

[Simon]

So you have the 1.59 baseband them I assume? Who is the phone originally locked to?

[wazzup101]

I think so, its locked to optus i think, but I give up with redsn0w, I'm so frustrated at the moment, I tried it about 20 times till now... it starts jailbreaking and then says Exploit failed

might just take it to a repair shop

[Simon]

When trying with snowbreeze to hactivate it did you choose expert mode and then click the box to hactivate? There is a manual way to get past activation by replacing the lockdown folder, since you did use a custom firmware you are technically jailbroken.

This might get you past the activation screen: How to Fix the “Different SIM Detected” Issue on the iPhone

didn't work.. but no worries man

I think I'll just wait for redsn0w/other software to support ios 6.1...

I'll use my other phone for now.


Thanks for your help.. I gladly appreciate it.

No prob, hopefully it won't be too long of a wait.
