Jailbroken iPhone - Different sim cards won't work?
I found an iphone 3G about a year and a half ago and tried to return it to its owner without any luck. Anyway I jailbroke it the other day with the latest version of redsnow using 4.2.1 and everything works find except for making calls and texts. It just either says sim locked or searching at the top left hand side of the screen, depending on the sim I put in.
A phone store said the firmware I'm using is too recent. Could this be the case?
Any help please and thank you
Why did you download jailbreak
Jailbreaking doesn't unlock iphones.
4.2.1 is the highest firmware a 3g can use.
Yeah, jailbreaking doesn't unlock an iPhone. Simple.
You'll want to go into cydia and download ultrasn0w to do that, the only thing, ultrasn0w might not work the the latest iOS version. However, if you "found" this iPhone, the chances are incredibly high that the iPhone's id number has been blacklisted as stolen, meaning it will be useless regarding of whether its unlocked or not.
- Would an different AT&T micro SIM card work on a AT&T locked iPhone 4S? I believe the answer is yes but I want to be sure before I sell my iPhone. I don't want to sell it to someone who believes this to be possible and then learn it's not. I know the phone will not work with any other carrier but AT&T.
- Would a stolen iPhone 4S from At&t still work with a different sim? My cousin wants to get an iPhone 4S from some guy on Craigslist. The phone looks to be in perfect condition, but the guy doesn't know any information about it. Plus, he says it's brand new, but he doesn't have the box or accessories the phone comes with.So, it seems a little "fishy" if he would make the purchase and use a different SIM would it work? If it does work, is there any way he can get in trouble by having it or can it be tracked?
- Will switching sim cards from one iphone to another work? Basically my iphone 4s charging port will not work and won't charge normally and stays at about 5 percent. It also won't connect to my PC. To avoid using i cloud and everything can i just switch one sim card to the new iphone 4s and will all my memory be on there? If not what will?
- Will my iPhone work abroad with different sim? Hi, am going abroad in like 2 days i was wondering if my iPhone 4 would work if i put a sim card from the country am going to, but on the same provider ( because my iphone's locked). So yeah, if i buy an vodafone ( my provider) sim card which is from the country am going to, will my phone work - e.i. Internet, texting, and making phone calls in the country? My iPhone's locked onto vodafone, hence why i will be purchasing a vodafone sim card.
