[ RELEASE ] 3G iPhone Unlocked - Eat the yellowsn0w

[DSMKilla]

Did all mentioned! Worked but after reboot failed? Hours of messing with it nothing? Put turbo sim back in and it found service on it's own, which it never was able to do for the past few months. Every time I lost service I would need to take sim out call on old phone and then reinsert. Guess that's the best I will get for now?
Ps old sim, 8gig , new Mexico, t-mobile.
Going to enjoy my Saturday!
Good luck!

Is this with the new 0.9.5 version?

[hondapro210]

i had already updated the firmware and installed 0.9.4 so this is what i did this morning. if you cant get 0.9.4 to work just uninstall then reinstall and do steps 2-5, thats how i got 0.9.4 to work but couldnt make calls.

1)upgraded to 0.9.5 via Cydia
2)reset network settings
3)reboot phone with sbsettings
4)wait till phone says "no service"
5)switch to airplane for a few seconds switch back and bam called my voicemail

im so ******* happy i can make calls now

My sh-t works now did it exactly as you said can call/rec/..wooooo thanks
Working 9.5 in san antonio, texas no problems so far....

hey man what did you do exacltyyyyy ??

Try niacafis method works like a charm..

[niacafis]

heres everything that i did

1)update to 2.2 via itunes
2)use quickpwn 2.2 to jailbreak and activate install cydia and installer
3)install yellowsn0w and sbsettings via Cydia (intalled 0.9.4 at the time)
4)reset network settings and reboot with sbsettings
5)waited for the phone to say "no service" (sometimes it took a while)
6)then toggled airplane mode on for a few seconds then off (started searching and came up t-mobile) only outgoing calls didnt work
7)woke up this morning only to find another update 0.9.5 WAHOO!
8)updated via Cydia
9)reset network settings and reboot with sbsettings
10)waited for "no service" then toggled airplane once more then BAM fully unlocked iPhone 3G 8GB Black on T-Mobile USA


oh yeah after your phone is working you might want to turn on my caller ID, otherwise you will come up as "unknown" , you can find it under settings/phone menu

if you cant get service at all, removing and reinstalling yellowsn0w then reset network setting and rebooting with sbsettings helps. also removing the sim card never EVER worked for me. i think its an unecessary step.

For anyone who is having a problem getting the carrier to read with the new 3G unlock....try this:

take out sim card (iPhone on)
reinsert it
click airplane mode on then off
it should now say "searching" at the top left
now it should read your carrier

it worked perfectly for me

That didn't work for me at all. I must have did that a hundred times. I finally reset all settings and it worked out for me on 9.4 but I think 9.5 fixed all the issues. I would suggest to still reset all settings if I had problems with 9.5

UPDATE
T-Mobile US here with a newer SIMM

At first, using the initial Yellowsn0w release, I would see T-Mobile bars but couldn't make calls, after updating to the last Yellowsn0w relaese, I could no longer connect to T-Moible.

Today I followed these instructions listed here
Hack that Phone - Unlocking the 3G iPhone with QuickPwn

Note there are 2 pages, I used every single step including SSH.

Finally I rebooted my phone, turned off Airplane Mode, then back ON, the phone searched for the Network, then Boom T-Mobile was found.
Now I'm able to receive and make calls , the only thing I noticed, every time I reboot my phone, I have to do the Airplane Mode thingy.

By the way, I have 3G and data roaming enabled as well.

ThankS Dev Team!!!!

[msb2008]

i installed yellowsn0w 9.5 but i am still getting a flactuating signal and sometimes with no service. i hope the dev-team fixes this soon.

[melo107]

These were my steps from day one that worked.
2.2 Restore Firmware from modmyi wiki
quickpwn 2.2 (Jailbreak also 2.2 has auto activate) add cydia
wifi - have sim in
load yellowsn0w
reboot
5 dots toggle airplane on/off and then Searching then carrier
I have found if you have weak signal you may have to try many times.

Updated just did this method on my sisters 16G 3G iPhone that hasn't been working. This is Tmobile USA. Now outgoing calls work with no issue.

uninstalled yellowsn0w 0.9.4
reset network settings
reboot
installed yellowsn0w 0.9.5
reset network settings again
airplane off... about 5-10 secs ... airplane on
Searching then Carrier

This is what worked for me!! Thanks again to MODMYI for the firmware!!

didnt work bro but thanks

[domanads2k4]

Guys, this is my success with the newest USA T-mobile Sim.

I was having trouble with signal dropping with outgoing calls on 0.9.4. After the upgrade I couldn't get 0.9.5 to search for signal. Below is all the info I can think of that might help.

My Sim 4 rows of numbers with 5th row vertical (no version #)
0.9.5 would show invalid sim.

Uninstalled yellowsn0w

I reset settings and used my wife's sim 5 rows of numbers 6th row vertical (version 39.01a) Installed yellowsn0w.

Worked perfect. Everything worked.

I then put my sim back in and everything worked.

I don't know if it will lock up again when I reset the phone, but for now the newest T-mobile sim is working.

i installed yellowsn0w 9.5 but i am still getting a flactuating signal and sometimes with no service. i hope the dev-team fixes this soon.

Remember, it is beta. Submit your report to the Dev Team and I'm sure they will have a fix posted ASAP...

Dont worry, he is being taken care of...

I have had my disagreements with him but he has had a lot of people hit his thanks button so he must be helping out somewhere. He speaks his mind and doesn't hold punches. I agree that the initial release of yellowsn0w was bad for t-mobile users. How can anyone argue that the initial release was a success? I am happy that the new update seems to be giving everyone back an operable phone. Good day.

Uninstall and re-install those apps that immediately quit. Somehow, you are the only person I have seen talking about this phenomenon, although I can't say I ever searched it out. In backing-up and re-installing firmware, apps, and etc, this happens. Just re-install

I uninstalled the ones that quit, plus that ones that work and just started a fresh, all of them work except for phone zap, there must be an issue with it or something, but everything is working nicely

thanks for the help

thanks to the Dev's for the wonderful unlock, working perfectly for 24hrs now...
