llerites12 please dont promote these site, these are nothing but rip offs. $20 for that junk, no way. QLers you can do this yourself for free online, or I can do it for free.

PS: to unlock and jailbreak stick on with iOS 4.0.1 and DONT upgrade to the iOS 4.0.2, stay away from this upgrade yet.

Good news for those unsure of jailbreaking. Vodafone in Qatar is selling officially unlocked legal iPhone 3gs at QR 3500 for 32 GB. this is region free and can work worldwide with no contract. so ppl prepared to pay more can go for this option if looking for peace of mind.

else if you adventurous, then get a locked iPhone for cheaper price and hit on. :-)

I havent tried it.. but flashing is one method if you want to upgraded to higher firmware version. or using restore CD came with your phone... no cost involved, but yes if wrongly flashed, the the cost is your phone, so be careful.

The latest Official FirmWare (OFW) release via itunes is version 3.1.2. Please be carefull to update or to restore your iphone from Itunes

For all who has jailbroken and unlocked iphone, Please read this message:

3G and 3GS: Do not Update or Restore your units via iTunes. It will update your basband (modem firmware) to ver. 5.11 (which is unlockable for the momment)

if you want to see your baseband version go to settings> general> about> and see the version of your modem firmware ==> it should be 4.26.08 only

Once your modem firmware is 5.11.xx, your 3G and 3GS is unlockable.

2G: If by mistake you update or restore your unit via iTunes, you are very lucky!!! Still your phone will loss unlock and jailbreak but it can be fix.

The reason is very simple: the baseband of 2G is not upgradable with 5.11 version. It will remain ver04.xx.xx

I hope this answer will help others to stop updating your iphone from itunes. PM for more detail

you can upload to version 3.1 without upgrading the bootloader. the way is to save SCHP file before upgrade. there by preserve the bootloader and upgrade the firmware alone.

dear ashok,

if ur using mac u can use pwnage tool to unlock your iphone 3.1 but since your bootloader is 5,i think your out of luck for now.

3) Exit iTunes - do NOT restore a backup of your iPhone!

4) Use Quickpwn to activate and jailbreak the iPhone 3g

5) Set up wifi

6) Update Cydia (cydia and 5 other apps need updating)

7) Rebooted the iPhone 3G

Turned off 3G and data roaming

9) Add http://apt9.yellowsn0w.com repo to cydia

Hi,

I made mistake by upgrading my unlocked 3g iphone to 2.2.1 which now has a Modem Firmware # 02.30.03 and it got locked.

Can you tell me a solution for this.

If you have a unlocking solution for this, can you send me a message.

Thanks,

By shyams• 12 Jul 2009 22:49

a new patch has been released by apple. so if you upgrade through itunes, not custom ipsw could be installed for jailbreaking. moreover its worth a wait in the OS 3.0, as there is already quite some issues like battery getting dried quickly and hanging/freezing issues. so unless you definitely need to upgrade, i would suggest to wait a little longer.. just a suggestion..

By the_smart• 11 Jul 2009 00:37

what should I do if the keypad on my Iphone 3g is hung (no response) ? I cannot dial from the keypad .....appreciate some suggestions to resolve this problem.

By shyams• 25 Jun 2009 22:31
shyams

again sorry to hear you have upgraded to version 2.2.1 acidentally. well at the moment ther are two methods to get your phone working with Qtel.

one is to downgrade your firmware and modem firmware too (now possible) provided the band isnt newest.

Alternative, you may purchase a turbo sim for 150 (or less) from any shop in souq, but check if its working in the shop.

the later solution should be fine. all the best.

By shyams• 25 Jun 2009 22:27
shyams

kikano21, sorry to hear you have upgraded to version OS 3.0 accidentally. since you report your iphone no longer works, it isnt a factory unlocked version then. so you need to wait for the software unlocking tool and jailbreak your phone.

you may also check for the upgraded turbo sim available for version 3.

By eternity• 23 Jun 2009 08:30
eternity

well, you could check on the net if your model no. corresponds to the offical unlocked model nos.

Mine did and I could update to OS 3.0 without any hassles.

By kikano21• 22 Jun 2009 12:39

just to clarify for those who are not familiar !

you can JAILBREAK your IPHONE !! no problem !!

but Ultrasn0w will only be available to the public in a couple of days !!

in my case, my phone is unlocked by factory !! so i only needed to jailbreak it !!

DEV-TEAM will release ultrasn0w soon !! so be patien

By wwatfa• 22 Jun 2009 08:41
wwatfa

guys,

the best thing to do now is to upgrade to 3.0 !!

then use REDSN0W to unlock the phone, then install ULTRASN0W on your iphone from cydia !! then you will have a perfectly unlocked IPHONE with the latest software !!!!

yep ! its true , i tested and it works GREAT

I checked at the apple website... my phone is from the czech republic, so it should be an unlocked unit. Now do i have to upgrade through an account in the czech itunes online store or is it possible through my account in the qatar itunes online store.

if you are sure if its factory unlocked.. they you are legal to go ahead, no issues. you can upgrade anything and everything....

goodnews to unlocked iPhones too... the software unlock is out and under beta testing for OS 3.0. so hold on for now before you choose to upgrade to 3.0.

I bought the 3g iphone from "The Mall" last week. The model number suggests that the phone is from Czech Republic and from what I have read on the net, seems to be factory unlocked. Can I update it to OS 3.0 without bricking. I have not used any unlocking software on the phone.

Thanks.

after surfing the internet on this issue for over 24 hours now ! the only answer i got was that no one has a clue about the solution or what is causing the problem !

in this case i am tempted to think that it is a hardware problem !

what is weird is that the phone is working fine now (crossing fingers)

but as soon as i will use my bluetooth or headset i am sure the problem will come back !

until now i have stoped using my speakers and bluetooth ! i think with only 4 to 5 months left for the 3gs to come out in our region ! it wont be wise to buy a new iphone 3g right now !

i will continue updating this post too !

By shyams• 13 Jun 2009 14:33

hey, my model number is : MB496ZP/A

according to the list by Appel (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937) the phone should be legible for the upgarde since it is unlocked >? correct can you check from your end and confirm too ?

thanks

By wwatfa• 11 Jun 2009 14:57
wwatfa

thats man, thats helps alot ! i checked with the vendor and they said NOT to upgrade !!

although i confirm again, when i restore the iphone to the original 2.2 with itunes i do NOT jailbreak or Unlock ! the phone works perfectly and i get the message: Iphone activated !

i will check the link you gave me and see ! i hope i would be able to upgrade it !

i have 2 other questions if you can help:

I baught the turbo sim (i-smartphone) from the US and i wanted to know if eveything would work on it ? i mean calls in/out with 3g ?!

also i am facing an issue with my phone which is the main reason which i would like to upgrade ! maybe it would solve my problem !

my iphone earspeaker stops working ! i need to switch the loud speaks on or switch to bluetooth to hear the person talking !!

i tried restoring several times, at first everything works perfectly then it goes wrong again !

i cannot beleive that this is a hardware problem ! because it does work from time to time. i think it is more a conflict between the applications i have ! i also tried to reset the settings but that only solved it for some time and then the problem persists !!

i will try to restore now without sync the apps that i have ! hope this will help !

did anyone face this kind of problem ?

By wwatfa• 11 Jun 2009 08:52
wwatfa

i can use them all ! yes

i have several apps from apple store US (bought with a itunes credit)

and some apps from Cydia !

but stil that does not help me if i should upgrade to 2.2.1 ! and if it will be locked !!

i need to know if my phone is unlocked by factory !!

Jailbreaking 3.0 is possible. but 3.0 is still in Beta, and it would be unwise to try 3.0 at the moment with your locked iPhone. there are methods but come with heavy warning that this method could BRICK your iPhone permanently so dont jump start now. let it be released so as app for 3.0 would be out then with the new SDK. so keep your shirts on till then. have fun. again if you want to be adventurous, sure you can, no offense but follow the steps very carefully without any deviations. all the best.

Good news for the user who have updated their firmware to 2.2.1 accidentally, with which the software unlock method wont work. now there is a method to downgrade your firmware and baseband from 2.30 to 2.28. with which you can unlock your iPhone 3g and no need turbo sim anymore.

i found on a site.. a new method had been discovered to pull down the baseband from 2.30 to 2.28... once this can be done, then hell breaks lose.... no worries of turbo sim.. can be unlocked by software.... i havent tried it yet as i dont have 2.2.1 phone around to try it on.. if i get hold of 2.2.1 i will try and let u know...

next the jailbreaking shouldnt affect your itunes.. you case is such that, u created your userid with US credit card and verified US address for itunes. so the itunes sell products to the specific country.. and u cant buy stuffs which is meant to US customers in Qatar.... thats the story and its not coz of jailbreaking....

so i had to create another itunes account for Qatar verifying Qatar credit card..... hope this helps...

By indorachel• 20 Apr 2009 21:28

GT ...I was able to jail break it then my iTunes wont work ...the message said something saying that my account for US only...then THX GOD I was able to restore it back ...... in my view ...it's no point jailbreaking if u cant do anything about it ....such as download from my itunes account ......

shyams...it still unlocked .... Im actually not that worry about it ..... coz worse come to worse i just let it on for my US no. so my friend and family from US can still contact me anytime ....

Coz I try all ur suggestion ..... even following some one suggestion to that store near FFC .....and we try the Turbo sim but can not put it in ..I show GT my sim holder it's really can not hold Sim turbo and Qtel Sim in the same slots ...........

So shyam ...that's where im stuck ....jailbreak and didnt go further than that .....

didnt u said there is no method what so ever that can unlocked it ??? Did u find something new ??? Im willing to try it as long as it will not effect my guarantee....let me know

By shyams• 20 Apr 2009 21:28

Jailbreaking and unlocking are too different things but follow one another...

to make it simple. first you jailbreak the iPhone then unlock it by software method. in other words u first liberate (jail break) the iPhone from the protection, then u attack and unlock it to work with other networks...

so jailbreaking of 2.2.1 is possible but not unlock.. once the phone is jailbroken u cant install the 3rd party softwares.......

at any point u can make a factor reset... by replacing the original firmware. but remember once u upgrade your iPhone (accidentally or incidentally) to firmware 2.2.1, u cant bring back it to 2.2, read my above post for details...

I guess master_mas has answered well in detail on 3G with qtel. to add, you might face some problem with few turbo sim on 2.2.1 firmware version. if you have 2.2 firmware with baseband 2.28.. no issues with 3G.

in cydia download the 3G toggle along with yellowsn0w toggle under boss prefs source package.

Hi Shyams, just curious on the 3G iPhone, was the phone able to use 3G service, since my friend only able to use 2G networks, meaning GPRS/EDGE not the 3G.

Do you have any experience? the phone was unlock with Cydia

if you are in US then get the Gevey Turbo Sim for your 2.2.1 iPhone. rest its all here and even you can get the tools online..

if you already have the iPhone its ok. or if you are planning to buy a new one, then get the factory unlocked iPhones, which used to be $800 is just only $499 now (recession everywhere)... so that will take off your headache of using it with any network legally!!!!!!. ...

with the factory unlocked version you dont need to worry about firware upgrade either, you can ger the version 3 launched for beta testing......

anyways dont confuse this with jailbreaking.. jailbreaking becomes necessary if you want to either unlock your AT&T locked iPhones or to install 3rd party iPhone applications and games (which you get if for free).

with your factory unlocked iphones you can shop with apple store alone unless jailbroken.....

you can find the Gevey turbo sim (i recommend this as i have tried it on Qtel even on T-mobile and works charm) on ebay sometimes even for $10. look out for new version "Gevey plus 2". best wishes.

Hi i unlock iPhone for free. but remember you can unlock the iPhone with firmware 2.2 and modem baseband 2.28 with software unlock method. and if you iPhone has firmware 2.2.1 it can be downgraded to 2.2 and unlocked with software.. BUT, if your modem baseband is upgraded to 2.30.. thats it no software in the world (though some claim false) can unlock it except you have only one choice of using the turbo sim.

i learnt in qatar they charge 150 riyals for the turbo sim. but if they charge more for jailbreaking, then contact me to do it for free.

before using the turbosim the iphone must be jailbroken.

i got my Gevey turbo sim from us for $20. but its better to get it here locally as you can always ask if something goes wrong...

i guess i was able to give you some insight view on unlocking, i do these for fun not for money. so any question feel free to contact me.

welcome to iPhone community. :-)
