Hi, i recenly bought a jailbroken at&t iphone 4 ios 5.0.1 from my friend, i accidently updated it to 5.1 and now im stuck in " please insert sim card "
i dont have any sim card & i want to activate it & i was wondering if i can take the phone to the h2o store and they'll give me a sim card to activate it and everything will be fine? Or should i downgrade it to 5.0.1 ? What should i do? Any suggestion? Please help. Thanks
 
You need to use cydia to unlock again.

What is your baseband at the moment?

How did you unlock before?

connect to phone yo USB open Tinyumbrella and which SHSH's you have
 
Currently there is no unlock for that baseband,downgrading to 5.01 doesn't help, the unlockable BB stays, unfortunately you created a very expensive 'iPod'

Try selling it to someone with an AT&T contract
 
no its locked to AT&T

on the old setup i guess ultrasn0w was installed with a BB of 1.59.0
that can unlock to other carriers.

Ultrasn0w doesn't work on any higher IP4 BB

You'll have to wait for an hardware unlock or sell it, i suggest the latter, some people have been waiting for a 4.11.08 BB unlock solution for 6 months with no ETA known.

This is what i found on the H2O website:
needs to jailbroken and unlocked with ultrasn0w

Although some other threat say you can access H2O on AT&T locked phone, better give them a call
 
Thanks i will call , but in case i cant activate it with h2o, can i just take the phone to at&t & get a plan or something?
 
I activate it with Red Pocket & everything works fine, but thanks anywayss i appreciate it
