Need help unlocking iPhone 3G

[GlassToTheArson]

I switched to T-Maybe back in October for financial reasons and I'd like to use my iPhone again.

I've managed to jailbreak it, but my wifi card is kaput. I downloaded the Ultrasn0w files and diskaid so I could manually input the files. That hasn't worked at all.

If I need to I can restore the phone and start back from scratch.

Anyone have any tips or guides I may be able to use to achieve my goal?

Much thanks!

EDIT: so blacksn0w seems to have irreversibly bricked my phone

No one has any advice on what I should do?

Get your wifi fixed. It's going to be hard to do it all thru ssh.
Depending on what firmware and baseband you're on you will need different programs to use.

Borrow a friends AT&T sim and pop it in your iPhone.

See the problem is I was using blacksn0w and it locked up during the jailbreaking process. I had to forcequit and now all that shows up on my iphone is a cartoon picture of Steve Jobs saying something in Russian

Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that

Google DFU mode, you will get hundreds of how to guides. Also unless you saved your SHSH blobs you have no hope if going to 3.1.3, if that is not the case someone correct me.

Alright I'm downloading the IPSW right now. Hopefully that'll work!

As for my wifi card, I have no clue how the hell I would even begin to fix that.

For an iPhone 3G you don't need shsh's for 3.1.3 or firmware below that. 4.0+ you do need them though.

Kick your iPhone out of recovery with TinyUmbrella.

Problem is, my wifi card is dead....

Is there no way to manually input the files I need?

I think this will do the trick but I'm sure you'll need OpenSSH installed? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Applejuiced]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
You can do it manually thru ssh or the easier way like my friend mentioned above is use someones AT&T sim to install what you need thru Cydia.

Alright cool, I'm in the process of jailbreaking the phone again as we speak

Edit: From what I'm reading, I need to wifi to use SSH?

Will that do anything to their simcard? I don't think they would forgive me if I ruined it.

No. Using their sim card won't do anything. You just need the internet connection to install ultrasn0w from Cydia.

Something happened while I was jailbreaking the phone. It gave me the same unknown error 1015, and now that cartoon steve jobs saying hello in russian is back on my screen


Edit: Now I can't force it out of recovery...

 

[GlassToTheArson]

Basically what's happening, is every time I try to restore the phone, I get the 1015 Unknown error crap.

That's what stopped the from being jailbroken

You need TinyUmbrella to kick it out of recovery like I said previously.
