If i get my hands on iPhone, where do i start to unlock for tmobile?

[disneyfun1]

Im trying to get my hands on an iphone. if i do, where exactly do i start to unlock and jailbreak or whatever it is i need to do to be able to put my tmobile card in and have it work?

I really dont know where to start. My home computer is running vista if that matters and i do have itunes 8.1.1.10-updated yesterday to newest one.

thanks for all your help.

is it a first gen or a 3g?

more info?

[disneyfun1]

it would probably be a 2g phone since i was told the 3g phones wont work in 3g mode anyways on tmobile, is that correct? if i get a phone that is unlocked from apple, then i dont ever have to worry about it, is that right? it will always be unlocked and can accept the new updates without issues?

[Broomhead]

use quickpwn for windows if its a gen1, but you will always need to wait on updates until a new jailbreak/unlock method has been released

[disneyfun1]

where do i go to get quickpwn, do i have to buy it or can i download it someplace?? like i said, i know nothing about all this!

[nycdiplomat]

its free software. go to iclarified.com and search for it there, or you can search for it here.

[Broomhead]

or seach here, because we have it and your already here.
Just search for "jailbroken 2.2" or what ever firmware your on... 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, 3.0 << you get the point

[disneyfun1]

Now what exactly is jailbreaking? that is separate from unlocking i take it? then you jailbreak it and you can download apps from another party for free instead of just apple apps like the G1 uses android apps, is that correct? If i get a non locking 2g phone that cant be locked up, then i still want it jail breaked to get the other apps, is that correct?

[Zwayne]

By jailbreaking you will gain access to all the phones files and you will be able to use third party apps.

my iphone 2g is jailbroken and has the firmware 2.2.1 but the t-mobile sim card is not recognized. what do i do?

[joefx13]

JAILBREAK: This means that you are going to be able to install 3rd party apps and themes into your phone.

UNLOCK: This means that you will be able to use the phone with other carriers besides AT&T.


Good Luck

do you have to put sim card inside of the iphone.... if so how do you install it?

yeah good stuff, it wasnt as hard as i thought it would be... everyone here (here as in Denver that is) wants to charge 25+ to unlock/JB... save money!!
