iPhone 3G (NOT WORKING!)
Hey, um I searched this website for this information but i couldn't find it! please help with the following:
I bought an iPhone 3G, NOT 3Gs, second hand from a friend and it worked fine here. But after I got it restored and jailbroken using blackra1n and unlocking with sn0w I can find both carriers Qtel and Vodafone. (by the way my sim card is a Hala card so its not subscribed or anything)
BUT here's the thing: when I click on Qat-Qtel it says "network lost". Could you please help me so that I can at least call; PLEASE PLEASE HELP! i paid quite some money for it :(
i could give it a try to fix it...ive encountered this kinda issues..lost network after jailbreak or unlock and able to resolved. just send me PM.
OFCOURSE U SHOULD GET SETTING FROM QTEL IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE THE GPRS.. IVE ALSO TRIED BUT THEY R PROVIDING ONLY FOR THE POST PAID CUSTOMER AND NOT FOR THE HALA PREPAID SIM
thank you for your advices!
i will neeevvvveeer buy 2nd hand AGAIN!
bobbbbby,
go to qtel and say that your unlocked phone is unable to capture qtel's network if they won't help you (as I suspect), go to Mac in City Centre and tell them that your UNLOCKED phone is not capturing Qtel's network and ask them to have it checked by the specialized technician. It won’t be that costly and they have always solved my bugs with Mac products.
The max I have paid was 100QR.
If you cant still solve your problem. Wait until you go back to your country and go to any Mac shop. They will be pleased to help you with a smile.
Good luck
PS. Just a last advice: never ever buy 2nd hand gadgets again.
hey everyone, is there some network settings i have to use in order to connect with Qat-Qtel because when i surfed the net i found a bunch of things for APN, Username and password, MMSC, and all that other stuff.
I almost unlocked it using blackra1n with sn0w then tried ultrasn0w from cydia and its still not connecting! please, i've been trying to find a solution for almost a month! please please help!
Hi there. Please check www.applei.ph. This is a site for Apple iPhone / iPod Touch users. They will give you detailed instruction on how to fix your phone. Try it and good luck.
i tried going to the apple section in virgin they said they don't unlock, i also tried vodafone and they said they didn't unlock the 3G...
And if i do go to the mac shop in the center what do i ask?(and whats a reasonable price for fixing it?)
dude it is supported by Q-Tel
do two things
1) Let the carrier be automatic...dont specicy qtel or voda
2) if the prob persists, search dev team blog in google and follow their instructions to unlock it once more...use ultrasnow this time
I didn't do anything special. I bought it (3Gs) unlocked in a Mac shop overseas. I use several countries SIM cards and it works in all countries including here in Qatar with the Hala card.
Try to go to a Mac shop (City Center or The Mall), they have specialized technical support who will certainly help you.
Oh nic please do help!
How did you get yours to work with the hala?
Please please help!
mohsennazary,
that is not accurate.
i have a iPhone 3Gs and use a non registered Qtel Hala card.
hi dear
at the moment you should try just voda phone sim cards.
I had the same problem with Q-tel. Iphone is not supported by Q-tel.\
Bye
Mohsen
