Question

Is this a factory unlocked iPhone? Don't do a master reset it will mess it up, do a restore. And yes it will still work on orange if that what is was originally

 

Jailbreak and unlocking are too different things! it's explained in the stickies up at the top of this section. TSX like the new avatar

 

Just restore through iTunes, and then JB if you like


@labman Thanks

 

Yes, restore then set up as new phone that's all you have to do.

 

Your backups might contact some JB visual changes but that's about it.
If you restore and setup as new nothing will carry over. Just when itunes asks you if you want to setup as new phone or restore from backup select restore as new.
It will then have nothing on it with your info.
Before you do anything go to setttings/general/about and tell us your modem firmware version.
If its 06.15.00 you will not be able to restore to stock firmware.

 

Yes, you can never restore that phone to official firmware with itunes.
If you do you might mess up the baseband even more and it will then not recognize any sim card. The BB will end up in an inconsistent state and will need to be reflashed to the ipad version.
You need to create a custom 5.0.1 ipsw with redsnow.
Then put your iphone in pwned DFU mode with redsnow and after open itunes and restore it to that custom firmware you created with redsnow.
Good luck.

 

Either way, you are screwed. I did try to restore to factory setting on a 3GS with 06.15 baseband. Restore went well without any error message. Itunes gave a notification that it has been restored to factory setting. However, it will not recognize the sim inside even it is original sim. So, you have to jailbreak & unlock it in order for you to use it again.

So, like others said. Once you put the 06.15 baseband on the phone, you can't go back.

 

Yes, it is fixable. It is very hard to brick an Iphone, unless it is a hardware issue.

 

Yes, its fixable but it will be a pain.
If you're not comfortable with doing all the steps right and dont understand 100% what you're doing then I wouldnt attempt anything.

 

Yes, it will ask her as soon as she plugs it in to itunes.
"A new iphone firmware is available for your iphone. Would you like to download and install now?"
***Cancell, download and install or download only?***
Make sure she clicks the cancell and also check the little box that says dont ask me again.

 

No, she will be fine synching and doing everything normal with itunes.
Just make sure she never updates or restores it with itunes.
And never ever ever "accidentally" presses the "Erase all content and settings" on the iphone in settings/general/reset.
