Sounds like you're not doing something right and your phone doesnt deactivate.
Try restoring or deactivating it again with redsnow.
You're supposed to be on the welcome screen with connect to itunes.
Then leave your sim in and plug it to itunes to activate it and you will get the message.

Just finished up a chat to get my 4s unlock. Really quick again, no questions, just the IMEI and none about how I obtained it or purchased it and a case was submitted. They told me about 5-7 days. We'll see.

Went through the process but never got the "Congratulations" message... seems to be unlocked though. I popped in my Verizon card and it gave me a choice of AT&T or T-Mobile as Carriers. AT&T said they had sent the release to Apple. Apple said it shows unlocked in their system but I never did get the "Congrats" message. No one seems to know why; not even a senior tech at Apple.

So I told you guys that my iphone was unlock yesterday, I have the Baseband 6.15.. BEFORE the unlock, when I log on to icloud.com it could NEVER locate my 3GS. AFTER the unlock (through AT&T) it can locate my 3GS! :D :apple:

I'm sorry, I'm not understanding what you are trying to say. but you have to deactivate the iphone first (through SAM{Cydia/jailbreak} or restore) in order to get the unlock screen and IF AT&T/APPLE complete the unlock process.

it is NOT unlocked yet.

Wait until the 17th to deactivate/restore your iphone or try calling AT&T again.

If you get email from them you can updrade/restore to 5.1. or you can deactivate your phone via SAM if you are jailbroken. and if you dont get email from them contact them again.

What's the sources and packages for SAM and how do you use it?
Click to expand...

Add http://repo.bingner.com as a repo in Cydia

make sure it is not connected to the PC
go into your main SAM setting. then turn off (hacktivate option) then go into the "more" ult. and choose the "de activate iphone" then choose the "deactivate iphone (clear Push)". go back to the main SAM settings menu and choose the "more information" it should say that the iphone is unactivated. connect the iphone into the computer.

You can jailbreak with redsn0w. but you wont be able to unlock the iphone through ultrasnow. unless you saved the shsh blob of you iphone 3GS, restore it back to 5.0.1 and download the ultrasn0w. or if you have iphone 4, there's no way to unlock it because you baseband is too high (only way is through AT&T).

SAM is NOT a sim card. its an app/software on iphone that can be downloaded on jailbroken iphones.

I don't see hacktivate option. Redsnow was working fine until I installed SAM.
