Hi Y'all,
I had a nice iPhone 3GS working on AT&T which, after leaving the USA, I tried to unlock. I tried a lot of things, a lot of tools but without managing to have the iPhone working.
Right now, I get the message "the SIM card inserted in this iphone does not apear to be supported. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate the iPhone. Please insert the SIM card with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card" and I have a "no Service" message instead of "bars" (this with the original AT&T sim card, though the contract got cancelled).
When I first started to manipulate my iPhone 3GS, I had (I think) iOS 4.2.1 and a 5.14.02 baseband. I tried 1st to upgrade the baseband to the iPad baseband, I think I managed it (got to see the bars) but then got the "SIM card..." error.
And from then I lost patience & reason, and tried so many things (without writing down anything) that I can't remember to what iOS version my iPhone has been restored to.
So, if one of you likes the challenge & think my iPhone 3GS can be resuscitated (that way I can get rid of my BlackBerry), do reply / email me.
Thanks!
David
