here is a question for anyone. How do you unlock the original first generation iphone? Can anyone walk me through it? I want to switch service from att to tmobile.
Here is my dilemma. I downloaded blackra1n and everything is on my phone. Cydia, blackra1n, and rock. what am i missing? I went into Cydia selected manage, then source, then blackra1n, then blacksnow. if i didn't miss anything then why am i not able to use my tmobile sim card and connect? did i miss something? thanks for your reply
The other mod was mistaken. The only program that will unlock a first gen is bootneuter. You can use blackra1n to jailbreak and download Cydia but then you'll have to use Cydia to download and install bootneuter.
got another question. if i have 3.0 firmware on my first gen iphone. to update i must download 3.1.2, then using blackra1n, upload cydia then blacksnow, then bootneuter through cydia? do i understand the process right?
phone is working great now so to be certain, just wanted to check your thoguhts about it.
Correct except skip the blacksnow part as that is a unlock where you will use bootneuter instead. Actually you may not have to run bootneuter again as the baseband doesn't get updated so you may stay unlocked but if not just run it again.
Here is a question again. What happens after running bootneuter and the phone recognizes the carrier tmobile but itunes shows different sim card. do i restore back to original settings or using bootneuter flash the 4.6 version?
there was no change with 3.9
Do a forum search for Trouble with iphone 2nd gen 3.1.2 unlock/bootneuter and you will find the answer to your problem if you know how to ssh into your phone.
