    Default Small problem with 3GS

    Hey everybody

    I have a tiny problem, and i do have the solution to my own problem, but here is what im asking

    I have a 16gb Unlocked 3GS phone on the old baseband, using FW 3.1.2, [dont get excited i used a custom FW] which works really well if anybody wants the link il post it in a second, but i used the unactivated custom FW, i activated the phone with a Rogers Sim card....

    Here is my problem, when i get to iTunes now with my present sim card, it says sim card not recognized, now i have the other custom FW, and i know i can just run through it with it, but i dont want to, is there anyway to hacktivate it knowing i already have cydia, and ultrasnow as my unlock???




    here is the link for the firmware i have if anybody wants

    Please do not post links to custom ipsw, or any warez!


    it works like a charm, stock iphone logos, none of the custom bu11sh1t and also no carrier name, very decent

    It shouldn't do that. Problem was you used an unactivated version which is meant for AT&T users. iTunes will read your sim as foreign because of that. I don't know of any bypasses in that regard but I can't say there isn't. All I know is the easiest way is probably just to redo everythig with an already activated fw. Btw thanks for being generous but it'd be safe to remove that link. It's a copyright infringement and Apple can get on your case about it.

    Thanks for your response, i plan to go ahead and wipe everything, and thanks for the heads up, a mod already contacted me about the link, i do apologize for the mishap and i will ensure it wont happen again

    Have a good one

    Edit, i found another solution, i inserted the sim card that phone was activated with, and it works fine with the other sim card now, i am not sure about it on another computer, il post an update soon.

    After the iPhone is unlocked will it still connect to iTunes and the App store just the same as when it was connected with AT&T?
