[ RELEASE ] 3G iPhone Unlocked - Eat the yellowsn0w

[lasteve]

Im I the only one or is anybody else on AT&T repeatedly losing connection?
I did the yellowsn0w install from cydia and everything went fine. I unlocked it like 1hour and half ago and in that time ive lost connection about 50 times.

I took my turbo sim out, checked that I am 2.28 and followed the steps and installed 0.91. but it still says no service on the phone. I am using t-mobile in the us. any ideas?

Is 3g turned off?

After NO SERVICE- Try airplane on/off

MuscleNerd just told me that people with older T-Mobile sims were having more success making calls than with people that have newer sim cards.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!! I WANT TO HAVE MY PHONE UNLOCKED. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP....

HAS ANYONE who knows how to use terminal actually tried installing yellowsn0w via command line? I would like to try but there's no way in hell that I am upgrading from 2.11.07 until all this mess gets sorted out. But I am just wondering if trying to install yellowsn0w via the command line using one of the switches such as "yellowsn0w -q" would help resolve any issues.

Usage: yellowsn0w [options]

Options:
-s Single-shot mode
-c Just check for compatibility
-r Just reset the baseband
-q Use quicker method (only for some SIM cards)
-a Use alternate method (only for some SIM cards)

Not sure about -s -q or -a but it looks like

-c is pretty self explanatory.

-r Looks like it reverts your baseband back to being LOCKED and removes the hack

Be nice to know what the other 3 do.

REALLY?

WOW

I just replaced my SIM card yesterday cause my old one I have have for 2 years was cut to make the Turbo Sim work and I wanted a "non cut" one in my 3g when I unlocked it

For what its worth I have no issues and my sim is about 1.5 years

Yes, EXACT same problem here.

[lasteve]

Does anybody have any ideas on what we can do with our AT&T connection problems??

[DSMKilla]

I don't believe you understood what he meant (or I didn't understand you)... if you install it in CYDIA, it may be a successful install, but the daemon disables itself at boot/initialization. You will not notice this at all, it's in the background

I agree on the public release, but it's perfect for those who are lucky to use without any issues

Yeah you misunderstood what I meant. I understand completely what he said BUT what I was saying was that unlike pretty much EVERYONE in this thread I was running yellowsn0w from the command line just like they did in the yellowsn0w demo video that was released. See my screen shot below...

I have got fw 2.2 baseband 02.28 and a turbo sim, using a 3 network sim card. I went via cydia and put yellowsnow on my phone, jumped around the room, when I got a signal, but then it went back to no service.

I have taken the sim out and put it back in, but still "No Service".

Any thoughts??

Thanks to the Dev Team, without you no onw would have any hope of sorting our iphone problems out. Thanks!!

Ok I am going to call T Mo and see if I can get them to turn on my old SIM card that's gotta be pushing 3 years old.

If they can, I will let you know how it goes.

[DSMKilla]

Here are the command line switches that I was talking about...

[bballcat03]

Or I won't call T Mo cause they are closed today...SH*T

Yeah mine is only a few weeks old as well.

[bballcat03]

I'm trying my old SIM card now. Doubt its going to work cause I believe they de-activated it in the store yesterday when I got a new one.

ok so i tried the whole thimg again with quikpwn instead of pwnage (which i hate because i dont want sh!tty installer on my phone)

put a piece of bandaid on the back of my sim

i even did the reset network settings before yellowsn0w and a hard reboot after

still just dots for signal

however it always lets me know i have a voicemail when i put in the sim????

weird

briefly

I'm with T-Mobile US.

I've tried all methods, I do see the T-Mobile bars but it disappears as soon as I try making a call.

I personally think that this Beta version is not ready yet, furthermore I think those who succeeded will most likely have connection problems, I hope not thought, I will patiently wait for the final release.

That said, I'd like to thank the Dev-Team for their generosity, no matter how much I say I appreciate their hard work, it will never do them justice.

Happy and peaceful new year to all.

You can choose to NOT install Installer with QuickPWN.
