I bought an iPhone thinking that I could unlock it for cheap but apparently the server of the network that its locked to is offline for another week and its going to cost £40 ($60) just to obtain a code from them.
So the problem is that Ive tried to use F0recast and Tiny Umbrella to retrieve my firmware model and have so far failed. Im using windows 7 and Ive tried 3 different versions of F0recast and Im getting the error unable to load DLL iTunesMobileDevice.dll, Ive tried downloading the .dll in question and inserting it into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support but nothing happens. Ive tried an older version of iTunes, even a different computer but with that I get a different error message The type intializer for Mobile.Device.Mobile device threw an exception. When also trying to open f0recast.
Ive also tried Tiny Umbrella but that insists that I run the program as an administrator every time, although I already am and it can therefore not start the TSS Service.
I know what youre thinking, buy a macbook but on a serious note can anybody help me here? After I know the firmware I can crack on with a redsn0w install or something similar.
Unless anybody knows something I can install where it wouldnt matter what firmware I was using? Im tempted to buy one of those sim cards for a hardware crack but I really need to get it done quickly as possible or I have to go back to the shop tomorrow, cancel this sim and activate another large one to put in my old ancient phone.
Argh the headache!
Thanks for reading, any advice is fully appreciated!
