i think i'm screwed...

[cusco]

like many 3Gs owners, accidently went on itune and it updated to 3.1.2. now it shows:

Version: 3.1.2
Carrier: Carrier 5.0
Modem Firmware: 05.11.07

before when i was on 3.0, i JB and unlocked, but since i did it in windows, it didn't work out for me and i couldn't revert back. so one of my friend used his apple and fix it. but when i got it back today, my Tmo sim still didn't work. apparently, it got updated to 3.1.

the good thing is that Cydia shows: 3.1 ECID SHSH on file; whereas before when i was on 3.0, it wasn't hashed.

so.. guess i'm screwed now and have to wait till Dev team come up with an unlock that would work for the 3.1 eh?

sigh.. what a day~

Yes, sadly you are. You can downgrade to 3.1 or whatnot but it won't matter because your baseband was updated when you installed 3.1.2. So your going to have to wait until 1) DevTeam unlocks 3.1.2/3.1 or 2) Someone makes a baseband downgrader.

let me get this straight, you accidentally upgraded to 3.1.2?

by that you mean you accidentally plugged you phone in, saw the dialog notifying you of the upgrade, hit install, waited for the firmware to download and then install?

The topic pretty much sums up your situation

No, that was the friend.

thanks guys.. now i guess i have a itouch

i hope the dev team will come up with something soon. i can't blame my friend, as he was just trying to help out.

one of the thing i was thinking was, like most phones you can get an unlock code after 3 months of service.

but with apple, it seems the more you update with itune, the more they try to screw you over and keep you from JB and unlock.

afterall, the phone has already been purchased and if endusers wants it unlocked to use on other network, they should be able to do so, right? afterall, it's our phone and we already paid for it 100% outright. but by they locking us down, it's that violating something here? like shouldn't they give us the unlock code so we can use with other networks as we like, since after all... we already paid full price for it?

Don't expect anything soon. It has already been months and we haven't heard a peep about a decent unlock. If you're done with your contract and it's fully paid then you should be able to have your phone unlocked by the carrier it's locked to.. If not then you gotta wait.

Live and learn.. Next time don't give your phone to a retard who doesn't know what he's doing with your expensive phone.

You could also just sell it and buy a new carrier unlocked phone.

Nope. No unlock codes for iPhones.
