Gevey 3G plus 2 - different sim detected

[jocundjunkie]

My phone is currently running on 2.2.1 firmware (02.30.03 BB) and it was activated using legitimate AT/T simcard.
Am planning to terminate my AT/T account and use t mob.. So I got a gevey 3g plus2 sim adapter and tried to use it with my friend's t mob sim (already activated).
But it always shows 'Different sim detected - Please connect to itunes'. Am able to get the signal bars and also it shows 't mobile' near the bar. Am even able to receive incoming calls. But am not able to make any calls. The phone is in emergency mode and i coudnlt even go to my home screen.
Please help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks so much for the reply.... But i don want to jailbreak my phone... Is there a way i could do that without jailbreaking it??? The phone is already activated using AT/T sim card... I also tried to sync with itunes in airplane mode and then try to use gevey sim.. but again i got the same message... Am really pissed off...

If the phone is in emergency mode....its NOT activated.

Also, not every sim-adaptor works with every FW and baseband version. So....you need to make sure you got one that is compatible.

Thanks... So is that the problem with my sim-adapter??? But am getting full signal bars and also am able to receive calls except that my phone is in emergency mode... That's why am confused...
Anyways I've ordered another sim-adapter to check this....

If everything is working except the phone is in emergency mode....

Then its what I said in the last post....the phone ISNT ACTIVATED. You need to activate it.

Sorry for being dumb... But how do i activate my phone???
If am correct, it's already activated using AT/T simcard and it's perfectly working with AT/T sim even now... But when i use the sim adapter with t-mob sim card it goes to emergency mode...
ur help is really appreciated...

Ok, well if its works and is activated with the ATT simcard, and then un-activates with your sim-adaptor and Tmo simcard, then its most likely the sim-adaptor.

I would check up on the sim-adaptor you got and make sure its compatible.

Thanks much.. i've ordered another sim adapter.. will try it and update u..

Ok its not your sim the iphone itself has to be activated using pwnagetool i had the same problem after activating with pwnagetool it was not in emergency mode anymore and it had full service

[cpjr]

^You are correct, wow I cant believe that got overlooked

[jocundjunkie]

Thanks jovon09.... But how do i activate it using pwnagetool??? Do i need to jailbreak it???
Sorry.. am just climbing...

could someone please help me out here??? Do i need to jailbreak it before using sim-adapters???
If i do that, will i be able to softunlock it later (when dev team releases next version of yellow snow)???
Plsssssssssss help me out....

i also learned if you have an ATT sim card (active or not) itunes will try to walk yo through set up of activating the iphone... but if you cancel the set up it will actually leave the iphone unlocked then you can use the gevery plus 2 turbo sim. i just did that to mine & it worked.

[jocundjunkie]

Yep... I restored it, jailbroke it using quickpwn and used gevey.. it worked...
Thanks...

[Mr. DeLeon]

nice! your welcum, glad your up & running now
