Hello i Jailbreak my iphone and everthing is good. works very good with tMobile, but my itunes cant find my iphone because it say i need itunes 8.2 and i have 8.1.1.10, so if sombody know what i have to do, let me know, than you very much
You’ll have to download the iTunes 8.2. Here’s the download link – http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
My battery is drained up with the repo666.ultrasn0w
Please tell me your unlocking procedure.
My battery is easily drained up when I’m using my iphone maybe less than a 8 hours after i jailbreaked it. What can i do to avoid that problem? Thank u!

Go for ultrasnOw and you can get it from their repository. ultrasnOw repo: repo666.ultrasn0w.com
i want to get ultrasnow via internet to jailbrake and unlock 3G iphone.and i also need more information about iphone tips how to get firmware,jailbrake and unlock
i tried unlocking my iphone by using redsn0w and it became totally dead. can anybody tell me what has happend to my phone . is it permanantly dead?
ok i believe i successfully unlocked my iphone because in the about section it says it has no network…
im ready to switch providers!
which is the most common and recommended service provider that i should use to maximize the iphones availability while having a cheaper phone bill instead of the $100 a month?!
i have unlimited texting and unlimited data as at&t requires, while having the cheapest standard plan that is $40 a month.
what do you recommend?
Well, it’s up to you. Choose an appropriate plan to fulfill your needs.
Hi there, It has been given me an unlocked Iphone with firmware version 3.0 2 weeks ago; how can i tell if it has been unlocked via ultrasnow? it was bought in Hong Kong, from an official reseller, so i should be safe but you never know.
I wasn’t there and the person who got it is not into technology at all. thanks, ciao, Pietro
If your iPhone is already jailbroken, check the ultrasnOw repo in Cydia. The ultrasnOw repo will tell you whether iPhone is unlocked with it or not.
Thanks Harshad for your reply!
According to your message if Cydia does not appear in the list of installed applications I can be safe that the device is factory unlocked, right? I mean isn’t it possible to unlock an iphone and then remove cydia and all its repos?
ciao,
Pietro
Cydia is just an app which can be removed after jailbreaking/unlocking. So, it doesn’t mean that if you don’t have it on iPhone, your iPhone is not unlocked with UltrasnOw.
Hi I used redsnow to unlock my iphone 2G. I upgraded to V3.1 and yeah we all know what happened. I downgraded it using Redsnow by installing Icy and Cydia but i couldnt unlock it coz i didnt know how to go about it when clicking the unlock option. My iphone is back on but it cant locate a network although Ive inserted my Vodafone sim into it. can anyone help me with this please
Use this guide to jailbreak and unlock iPhone 2G – http://bit.ly/d92OY
my phone is still on the “downloading jailbreak data” section … how long does that usually take??
It should not take more than 2-3 mins. I think something is wrong with your iPhone jailbreaking procedure.
Hello Harshad how are you? I have few questions. I am not very familiar with Iphones and I just got one as a gift. It is a 3G Iphone that was used with AT&T and it just got upgraded to the 3.1 software version . I want to use it with TMobile so I have downloaded redsnow and followed the directions of how to use it. I get stuck at first step of using the redsnow. Once redsnow opens and I click on Browse and select the upgrade from the file it does not let me click on the Next tab. What am I doing wrong? Now What is Ultrasnow used for? I am confused now because I just read that redsnow can not be used to jailbrake 3G but only 2G. How do I get it unlocked? Sorry for so many questions but please help. My friends say I can NOT do it
Redsnow tool wont work on your iPhone. Use pwnagetool to jailbreak it and if you want to unlock it, you can use ultrasnow unlocking software.
Harshad,
I recently jailbroke my iphone 3G with the pwnagetool and installed ultrasn0w to unlock it to use it one the T-Mobile network. However, it still says No Service once the T-Mobile sim card is installed. What would you recommend to correct this so I can use the T-Mobile network.
PS. I turned off 3G before installing ultrasn0w. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
