Hey Guys,
im having trouble with my phone after the latest update to the 2.1 FW.
I have always been using the Pwnage tool to JB/unlock my phone since the 2.0 upgrade.

After trying to update to 2.1 using Pwnage i was getting a "error 2001" in itunes 8. The phone was jailbroken/unlockd before this with 2.0.2. At this point i decided to just use quickpwn OS X as my phone was already unlocked from 2.0.2. This worked fine.

Problem is now when i put my Aussie sim card in its giving me "different sim detected" error and telling me to connect to itunes. Im getting a signal in the signal bar at top and am assuming i would be able to receive calls etc but cant get past that activation screen.

When i put the original sim in im able to access the phone. I put Bootneuter on the phone via cydia with original sim installed just to try unlock just in case somethings wrong here but bootneuter tells me "nothing to do-your choices already match current setting, so theres no need to flash".

So im stuck at the "different sim detected" screen with an ulocked JB phone. Ive been looking all over the net for a solution and have noticed a couple of people with the same problem and no answers. Anyone with same problem and more importantly anybody with any solutions?

HELP!!

UPDATE: i forgot to add this is a 2G phone that was recently replaced and activated by Apple...i took it home and JB/unlocked it at 2.0.1 but had never used my Aussie sim card to test if the unlock worked at that point as i was using the ATT here in the States. Ive been reading that i may need a patched lockdown file but that was in some earlier posts for FW 1.x.x

OK heres the solution that just worked for me:

download patched lockdownd file from here
RapidShare: Easy Filehosting

SSH into phone using cyberduck/WinSCP

navigate to to /private/var/root/Library/ and copy lockdown folder to your desktop (for backup just in case

delete that folder from phone

unzip downloaded patched file and upload to phone to replace the folder you just deleted

naviagte into patched folder and make sure file pemissions are set to 644 for all files

reboot phone...

that worked for me!!!!

i just signed up to say thanks, this worked like a charm! i was looking for a fix for this since i've unlocked many phones out of box, but none that actually have been activated before.

just wanted to reconfirm that this does indeed work, just follow the directions on the first post.

I did tried and getting the same error "Different Sim Detected".

Below are the steps followed:
1. Updated to 2.1
2. Run QuickPwn 2.1
3. Getting "Different Sim Detected" Error when i try with T-Mobile or differnet AT&T Sim
4. If i use my iPhone activated AT&T sim it work good.

What will need to be done to fix this ???

Note: I'm using Windows version of QuickPwn

Hi, i got the same issue after buying my brother's iphone from him and trying to jailbreak unlock it with QuickPwn 2.1, phone was running 2.1. I get through all the steps, but when I take his old Sim out and put my AT&T sim in, i get the same error. Can someone explain how to SSH into the phone and how to run those commands, I am very technical but have never been through that procedure and cannot find a reliable site. If you could give me a step by step with the commands I would really appreciate it, I want to get this thing working!!! Thanking you in advance

Nevermind, I got it to work using IphoneBrowser 1.8... it worked like a charm, thanks again!!

[arcadeon54]

you are a genius!!!! that worked like a charm. I upgraded from 2.02 to 2.1 with Itunes, used quickpwn to jailbreak and unlock then used ur process to let it use any sim. Thanks a million.

the only obstacle now is that i can't send any text.

[TMaples]

final edit: Nevermind, I figured it out and this method works!! Thank you a million times over, this is the only place I've seen that does it correctly.

I have the same problem and am using iphonebrowser 1.8 to fix it, i deleted the lockdown folder, but how do i replace it with the patched lockdown? i tried to drag and drop but it didnt work...help?

edit:

actually, fixed that dumb mistake. i got the patched lockdown folder in the phone using the iphonebrowser, but now i need to check to see if the file permission is 644...how do i do that? its the last thing i need to do before resetting the phone...

hi.

Got my Iphone today. It's running version 2.1 (5F136)

1.) - Quickpwn 2.1 it.
2.) - Can put different sims in, but it comes up with the error message while still showing other networks in the top left.

3.) Tried the changed Lockdown file as above.

4.) It still says "Differenet Sim detected", making me put the 02 sim back in an hook up to I-tunes.

any ideas???

Cheers in advance.
