You can either wait and hope for an unlock (updated Ultrasn0w or a newer Gevey Sim) or you can sell it on ebay to anybody with the carrier it is locked to and get yourself another "unlockable" one
i dont know about the carrier it is locked to because i bought it second hand and updated it without sim .. and please tell me how i will know that new gevey sim is launched ??? and i am hearing about downgrade stuff that will restore my previous version of iphone ...
You can ask the guy that you bought it from for the original carrier
You should know about any new unlock from modmyi.com or any other iPhone site
Downgrading is only available if you saved the SHSH blobs for the older iOS but your main problem is that with iOS 5 the baseband is updated to version 04.11.08 which is unlockable (till now) and can NOT be downgraded. You should have preserved the older baseband and made a custom ipsw fw
Ask them whatever you want, they can't confiscate your iPhone but they also probably can't help you. Understand that we don't have any more answers than you do. We have given you the extent of our knowledge.
Once u upgraded to IOS 5....you r in S#!! ....coz apple closed the backdoor i.e. the downgrade.....i live in hyderabad and i sell gevey sims......what i know was ....may be in a month they release the givey sim for i0s5 .....will keep u updated.....
