iPhone 3GS dropping signal randomly (blacksn0w/push fix)
- Thread starter fjk

That is all well and good for you, but the poster I was responding to has decided to JB/UL his phone and then complains about the jailbroken status.
*****************************************************************************************
Then since you have decided to make modifications to the phone to be able to use it where you live, you must accept the choice to use it with the limitations/issues caused or aggravated by Blackra1n/Blacksn0w.
Perhaps when the DevTeam finishes Redsn0w 0.9, it will offer everyone the option to JB and UL without using Blackra1n/Blacksn0w.
Well you're right, but when I made that choice I wasn't aware of this issue, and I'm just trying to find options to get it working again or at least finding out what the hell causes it.. Otherwise yeah, either get rid of 3g, or dump the iphone for another 3g phone.. which I'd rather not do
Iphone looses signal shows no service
I have an iphone 2g jail broken. It just misses the signal a lot amny times during the days. In my flat if i am standing in my balcony then the signal comes but as soon as i enter the room it just shows no service. I am just frustrated and dont know what to do. Whenever i enter a shop building or any other place the signal just goes away. Even sometimes in open spaces as well. It just started happening a month back. Please someone help me.

iPhone drops all connection, blanks to no service, then suddenly comes back to 3Gfull
Hi,
Got 2 iPhones 3.1.2 with Rogers (Supported Carrier in Canada).
Service is perfect until i JB/Unlock them (Blackra1n/sn0w):
After JB/Unlocking it with Blackra1n/sn0w, every 5mins or so it just drops all connection, blanks to no service, then suddenly comes back to 3G Full service.
I have tried this with both OLD and NEW iBoot.
Please help! This is ONLY happening once i JB/Unlock the phone.
- Push Fix has nothing to do with this problem (haven't installed yet and the issue appears)
Hope someone will catch this error as it is happening with a few people around me as well.

That's exactly the same problem I've been getting ever since unlocking with Blacksn0w about three weeks ago. 3GS, 3.1.2, Jailbroken with redsn0w; unlocked with Blacksn0w. I NEED the carrier unlock, otherwise I'd restore back to 3.1.3.
Edit: I'm in Australia on Telstra.
Not true, I have a newer 3GS running 3.1.2 (tethered jailbreak) and I jaibroke/unlocked it with Blackra1n. I got the signal dropout issues with every sim I put in, 02, Virgin, Voda, 3, T-Mobile. I did a stock restore back to 3.1.2 a couple of weeks ago (after 3.1.3 came out) and even with the untouched 3.1.2 firmware, with the phone just sitting on my desk, the o2 signal regularly went from full bars to "No Service" then after a couple of minutes back to full bars.
Then I turned off 3G.
The signal has stayed rock steady ever since. When I turn 3g back on, the signal dropouts return.
Anyone else tried this "fix"?
A 3G iPhone that doesn't like a 3G network...
The only thing that I know will fix this is a DFU restore, but now with 3.1.3 your screwed. I did it right before 3.1.3 came out and did the commcen patch and its a hell of a lot more stable.
I recently did a full restore to 3.1.2 (not sure if it was DFU mode,- does that make a big difference?) but have not yet installed the commcen patch. Did it help eliminate the dropouts for you or did it merely alleviate the problem? Thanks!
Hello guys!
I found this conversation and it's exactly what is happening to my 3GS 4.01.
It cames with 3.0.1, and I already upgrade it to 3.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3 and now 4.0.1.
I'm in Brazil and my iPhone is from US, so everytime I restore a firmware on it, I got stuck on "Connect to iTunes" screen., and because of this I NEED to jailbreak AND unlock in order to use it...
For 3.1 I JB/UL using redsn0w/ultrasn0w;
For 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 I JB/UL using blackra1n/sn0w;
For 4.0.1 I JB/UL using JailbreakMe_@comex/ultrasn0w;
As I read on this entire post, nobody actually figured out WTF goes wrong! some assumptions, but no certainty.
Unfortunately I can't test using my iPhone without JB/UL...
Does anybody with this problem fixed it or just live with?
Thanks anyway!

For everyone having problems with dropping signals and locked on the Connect to iTunes screen: the problem is the hacktivation, ie, bypassing Apple activation, that screws the signal.
The solution is to buy an used AT&T SIM on eBay for US$4 (intl. shipping included) and use it to activate the iPhone. Once it's activated, you install Cydia through Jailbreakme.com and through Cydia you install the unlock. Worked perfectly for me, and I'm also from Brazil and can't have a non unlocked phone.

The Solution
1. Get a friend's At&t sim card and place it into your Iphone.
2. Upgrade to the latest firmware: 4.2.1 using the latest version of Itunes
3. Unlock the phone using Redsnow and Cydia.

I was having the same problem, did this, and everything is working fine!
Buenos Suerte!

thx for the advice, will try and report.
Now I have JB/UL'd iPhone 3G 3.1.3. bb6.15 (bl6.4 unfortunatelly) with a wifi issue (unable to join network/incorrect password) that I really need to resolve.
In the mean time, I was wondering if should give pushfix a try. Can you recommend a reliable downoad of a .deb file? Tried fixwifi and no joy.
