Hi. Help me, PLEASE.
My honey just got the new 3G yesterday because I needed a PDA phone that would sync correctly with my Mac. My BB Curve doubles all entries, and I live by my calendar, contacts, notes and texting. Especially Calendar. I figured we would bump him up, pay the extra $10 on his account because his work pays for his phone and it can be justified. My plan was to take his old one because it is designed for Mac and I squeeze the life out of Calendar. I don't need internet, and don't want to sign up for the additional contract because my phone gets paid by my honey's work as it was only $10 to add a line, there is no way to justify me having an additional $30-$40 on that bill.
Before I "erased all contents and settings" yesterday (9-6-08), the phone had whatever the most recent updates were available. My iTunes is up to date on whatever version is currently out.
Currently, the 2G is in "emergency only" mode.
I was researching how to activate the phone with my active ATT sim. I saw that QUICKPWN seems to be what all the buzz is about, but that you need to make sure that your firmware is 2.0.2 or there will just be a pineapple on the screen or you can brick the phone.
I have tried to find out the firmware by sliding the unlock and then entering *3001#12345#* then dial, it doesn't do anything. I have also do it without the last * as *3001#12345#, then it says "Error Performing Request Unknown Error."
Anyone know how I can find out my current firmware? I am uncertain if when I "erased all contents and settings" it reduces my firmware to its original or what. Plus, I don't even know what firmware is current anyway.
I heard that using QUICKPWN is the best option because using it won't brick your phone permanently.
If anyone knows how to walk this non-techie chick through a 2G unlock with an already active ATT sim, please let me know. I am dying to use my new toy!!
Thanks so much.
