Find out baseband

[xg35]

I got a new iphone 4.. (the person who sold it to me claim it was locked to Rogers Carrier) but i think he lied.

Anyways, is there a way i can find out what the baseband is or activate it without a proper sim card?

Does redsn0w do it?

You can find out the baseband by plugging it to your computer and run tinyumbrella.
It will list the firmware and baseband its on.
Then you can use redsnow to hactivate if you want.
If the baseband is higher than 01.59.00 then it cannot be unlocked with software.

OP: It's not that difficult to search. Don't be lazy.

Redsnow and pwnage hacktivate, but you have to know what iOS it's on.
If you needed a Rogers' phone, why didn't you buy it from Rogers or, better yet, apple? Or if you would rather get a used phone, apple sells refurbished phones; I imagine that Rogers does too.

apple sells refurbished phones;

I live in Canada and I don't think they (Apple nor Rogers) sell refurb phones in this country. I could be completely wrong though!

and OP, it's a good idea to have ways to verify these things before you shell out a bunch of cash money!

The refurbs are a US thing only? Not that I doubt you, but what a surprise. I guess I assumed too much. 😱

At least I think so anyway! On Apple's Canadian site there is a section to purchase refurb iPods, iPod Touches and iPads but nothing for iPhone. I think they might be limited to just replacements and not purchase.

The OP couldn't find out because the phone hadn't been activated.
