Hi it seems this is quite common.
I have a vodafone NZ sim card and a locked iphone 4 from UK.
I got an activation card from China and I can now get past the emergency screen.
I jailbroke with jailbreakme.com no problem
Unlocked with ultrasn0w
When I put the vodafone sim in it says Different SIM detected and I'm locked out the phone again.

I see loads of people with this issue, has anyone got a solution?
Thanks
 
yip did all that, have restored, re-jailbroken, reinstalled ultrasn0w several times. I see there's loads of people around that are having similar issues, maybe an update to ultrasn0w is needed?

I never heard of a single person that installed ultrasnow and it didnt unlock its iphone.
Where do you hear about loads of people with that problem and that it needs an update?
This place has over 476,000 members and never heard of one instance.
 
Try hitting up The Dev Team and ask them what the prob might be.
It definatelly does work with every iphone I tried.
Maybe its a unique situation with some carriers sims or something?
Not sure.
 
Could that SIM you're using be locked down to a certain phone? For example, if you bought an AT&T Prepaid phone package, it comes with a phone and SIM. The SIM card will only work with that phone and no other phone until after a year or so....I'm not quite sure, but just a guess.
