For the people who wants to unlock ATT phones, go google attiphoneunlocking, they unlock any model and firmware up to date. Took me only two hours.

you mother fuckerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr fuked my phoneeeeeeeeee bitchhhhhhhhhhhh

the package didnt even tell me that blacksnow is for 3.1.2 im on 5.1 and downloaded it. now my iPhone 3gs 8gb wont get past the apple logo, and when i went into redsnow i tried "just boot" and i tried "jailbreak and install cydia" neither one worked. so there should be specifications INSIDE THE PACKAGE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT IF YOURE ON 5.1 IT WILL KILL YOUR PHONE.

Blackra1n caused my 3g to go into a continuous loop. just use ultrasn0w, i had no issues!

HELP NEEDED: After running blackSn0w on 3GS 3.1.3 jailbroaken with blackra1n i've lost Wifi completely :( it's a known problem any idea what app combo to use instead to reset / re-jailbreak and re-unlock the most stable to day method ?

Unfortunately for my iPhone 3G/3.1.3(7E18)/05.11.07/PwnageTool jailbreaked, w your Unlock Wizard (on iTunes 10.1.1) your "iPhone | How to Unlock the iPhone 3G, 3GS Using BlackSn0w" doesn't worked. Now I have a continually restarting device that never ends starting on. Can someone help me?, please!

Hey Eduardo! I have had the same problem after trying to unlock using the above method. Here is my iPhone data: - iPhone Model: 3GS - Firmware: 3.1.3 (7E18) (previous firmware was 3.1.2) - Baseband: 05.11.07 - NEW bootrom. Serial number: 5K952... - Jailbreaked using PwnageTool 3.1.5 (I followed iClarified wizard to select the jailbreaking method) In order to successfully restore, follow these steps: 1. Turn off your iPhone by holding down both home and power buttons, because sometimes it doesn't shut down by pressing the power button only. 2. Once it is turned off, plug your USB cable into the iPhone connector ONLY. 3. Open up iTunes. 4. Plug your iPhone into your computer WHILE holding down the home button ONLY! 5. Keep holding it down for at least 1 minute (Sometimes it can take up to several minutes. Be patient!) until iTunes will pop up a message telling you it has found an iPhone in restore mode (THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS DFU MODE!). 6. Then restore it with your customized firmware. ...and Voilà! iPhone restored! Now I have to look for an unlock method other than the one mentioned here. After several hours searching on the web, It worked for me! I was really desperate until I found this guy who taught me this method: http://gdgt.com/discuss/iphone-3gs-wont-boot-past-apple-logo-4i4/ Hope this helps, dude! :-)

[Help] Have been using 3GS 3.1.3 jailbroaken with Blackr1n with no probs, till I've desided to unlock it with Blacksn0w.... unlock went Fine - but Wi-Fi is broken ... network reset didnt't help :( thanks in advance for ANY help

You guys are awesome. I'm from Nigeria. Thank you so much! I wish you all the best.

Did you need turbo sim?

Attention: if you are on 3.1.3 and baseband 05.12.01 you must use this: http://www.crispytech.com/2010/06/22/unlock-iphone-3gs-3g-3-1-3-ultrasn0w-0-93 Otherwise you will be stuck and have to restore your phone. BlackRa1n does not work with 05.12.01 (nor does BlackRa1n RC2)

Hi, my i phone is know stuck on the apple logo is there any way to fix it its a iphone 3gs 3.1.3 and when i try to restore i tunes doesnt let me also i do have the shsh when i jail broke it could you please help thanks

I have the same probelem Di you find a fix? I am really worry

how do I restore my phone now that I am stuck? Please help

Hi. Start over from the top but use ultrasn0w instead of blacksn0w. Instead of typing blackra1n.com you type repo666.ultrasn0w.com. Worked on My phone wich also had froze...

Thankx but I can not pass from the apple logo is stuck there...How un froze it?

Press and hold the powerbutton and the homebutton at the same time until it shuts off. Then you have to jailbreak your phone again using iclarifeds tutorial. Once your phone is jailbreaked you unlock your simcard using this guide...

Please help... I have an jailbrocken, unlocked iphone 3g which i have been using for 2 yrs with t-Mobile usa. Suddenly i lost Service. It says 'No Service' but wifi and others things works. I tried to do a network reset, jailbroke again, unlocked again, toggled 3G, airplane mode...but still not working. I tried to put in a AT&T sim and still stays no service. Can anyone please help me. I am worried that it might be some hardware issue.

i just have a question, i have two iphone 3gs, both 3.1.2 / 05.11.07 / 51week, one i didn't touch at all, fresh from at&t, locked and not in use, the other one i did redsnow several months back, so now its tethered jailbroken and unlocked. my question is is the perfect unlock for these phones out yet? do i need to treat these two phones with two different methods if i want to unlock and jaibreak them perfectly? if yes what should i use? its been bothering me for months, since the untouched phone was a birthday present for my dad but i still haven't give him yet cause he doesn't know how to tethered boot it, any help?

So I went through this tutorial. at the very end I clicked the return to Cydia button and the phone did so as it was suppose to and where the phone usually displays my provider it instead displayed "searching...". I waited a few minutes like the tutorial says to. After a few minutes had passed and nothing changed (still said "searching..."), I realized that the phone was frozen. I reboot the phone, the Apple logo displays, and it stays there and does nothing. I tried plugging into my PC to restore it but iTunes doesn't seem to recognize that its plugged in anymore. idk what I'm going to do with out my phone. Any help would be awesome. Thank you in advance.

I had problem like you described. Two days after the Apple logo displays on and off i gave up waiting for something to be happened. I took my iphone (OS 31.3, 05.12.01) to the repair shop. It costed £15 to reboot the phone. Now i still want to unlock it. My current network is O2. If you have successed in unlocking your OS 3.1.3, please let me know.

Hello Ty, Unfortunetly I do not have a fix. I brought my phone to the Apple store and they replaced it for free.

Exact same thing happened to me, except I didn't get that far back into Cydia. A bit worried, this isn't my phone, I was doing it for a friend. I can't even DFU now. Any ideas?

if it's under a year old just get it replaced. just tell em it froze while charging sonyou reset it and now this is all you get.

Hi, I got the same problem. But when i used ultrasn0w instead of blacksn0w, it worked perfectly. Instead of typing blackra1n.com, type repo666.ultrasn0w.com. Worked like a charm for me!

thanks buddy! your one little post made my day. helping out a mate and blackra1n would not work, totaly froze the unit on startup. ultrasn0w did it perfectly, legend! cheers

Hi everyone... Okay so I have an iPhone 3GS with 05.11.07 baseband & 3.1.2. I unlocked it and have been using this phone in the Dominican Republic on CodaTel for 8 months without any problems. On Friday I lost service, rebooted the phone and it locked on the pineapple boot screen. I managed to get it restored with pwnagetool, restored the backup and got it all configured. I downloaded Blacksn0w and it locked up again. This site says 05.11.07 is a good firmware to use with Blacksn0w, but other forums say that it doesn't. Can anyone provide any insight on my problem... Please?

Here is what I would do in your case...Download the 3.1.2 firmware for your phone....restore using itunes to 3.1.2 (Hold the shift button and press the restore button in iTunes). DO NOT update to 3.1.3 any any cost!! Browse to the path where your 3.1.2 is saved. Once restored, use Spirit to jailbreak first. http://www.spritjb.com . and then from within Cedia use ultrasn0w to unlock the phone. If you phone is working fine and is just lock avoid using the restore part in the instructions above and skip to the Spirit website for a jailbreak and unlock.

This does not work...I have done it twice now and each time it just searches and does nothing apart from grinding the OS to a halt when trying to navigate. I am on 3gs 3.1.3 and BB 5.11.07.

Alright, this issue occurs if your baseband becomes corrupt. In order to fix this problem, you have to restore to the original 3.1.2 firmware (you can download the firmware from this link: https://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750). Please don't create a custom restore ipsw - just restore from that file (this ensures that your baseband will be reinstalled too). After the restore you have to hacktivate your phone (use blackra1n) in order to re-restore to 3.1.3 (and this time u better use a custome ipsw ^^).

I tried this, still can't resolve my wifi issue.. any idea? Thanks

need help i wanted to know if I can unlock my iphone 3gs 3.1.3 ...

Hi guys! This is a response to everyone who's on 3.1.3 and trying to unlock his 5.11.07 baseband. There is a small bug in blacksn0w which don’t makes geohot’s blaksn0w compatible to 3.1.3, BUT you're in luck: Add this source (http://cydia.pushfix.info) and install blacksn0w rc2 in Cydia. This blacksn0w version has been modified by msft.guy and is compatible to 3.1.3 and 3.1.2. It also fixes the wifi-issue (so use this one instead of the original blacksn0w)! I tested it on 3.1.3 (3GS) AND IT WORKS! (note: ONLY if your baseband is still on version 5.11.07 and on 5.12.01!!!) Enjoy it! For details see: http://msftguy.blogspot.com/2010/03/fixing-blacksn0w-on-313.html

If you have baseband 5.11.07, you can unlock. The unlock for basband 5.12.01 will be released on June 7th 2010. Go to Settings --> General--> about and check.

It is June 7th! Any idea when the unlock for the 05.12.01 will come out? Thanks in advance!

Same problem, jailbreak with pwnage then no phone connection. then i used this blacksnow to unlock and now I'm stuck on the pwnage pineapple symbol. what can I do? Please help? I need my phone for important information i have on it... I have read the same complaint over ajnd over but no solution.... please help me get my iphone back on track thanks

only thing you can do is restore in itunes (and you lose all data on iphone) (connect to your computer, hold home butt on iphone, open itunes, release home button, restore in itunes - or something like that, don't remember for sure, if this doesn't work check on net exact procedure

Help!!!! Hi folks, I had my iPhone 3G firmware 3.1.3 jail broken with Pwnage Tool, but for some reason I did not get connection to my cell phone provider, so I tried to unlock with blacksnow according to your instructions. For some reason in step 12 the phone got stuck and said "loading Cydia", but did not continue, so I left it alone and after a while it seemed to automatically reboot, but got stuck with the "pineapple" symbol. It does not continue to load and does not react to any button anymore. I can reboot with the same result holding on/off and home buttons, but nothing else. When I connect it to the computer iTunes does not recognize the phone and the phone does not react being connected in any way. Help! What went wrong and more important: How can I fix it? please Helppp Best regards,

I figured it out. You need to go into recovery mode (not DFU) and restore the iphone (using the jailbreak firmware) with itunes. Google and you shall receive.

Can you direct me to the link? I had the same problem as described, but didn't know how to get to the recover mode...thanks

same happened to my iphone... restored to factory settings using firmware 3.1.2. keep the home and power buttons pressed and plug in the phone, do not release until itunes tells you that there's a phone to be reset... then just go on with selecting the firmware and restore the phone... after having firmware 3.1.2 on it, just install your unlock as explained above and it works fine...

hey guys,just got a new iPhone 3G locked to movistar here in spain.it was on 3.0 software,so i updated to 3.1.2 without any problem,and then jailbreaked with blackra1n,everythin ok,also unlocked it but the problem is it is now droping network,just get 1 bar,and mostly no service.pls if any1 could help what could be the problem...

I tried to unlock the iphone 3g version 3.1.3 using blacksnow..it was jailbroken successfully but got stuck when unlocking the same at the last step return to cydia. please let me know ..if someone has come acrossed such issue and what can be done in such case. thank u

I have the same problem. Jailbreaking goes very smooth. Unlocking appears to run normal but right as it finishes, it says "reloading data" and eventually locks up. I have tried this numerous times and ways but no luck.

Mine is doing that as well, did anyone find a way to fix this problem??

Only works on firmware 3.1.2 im assuming not on 3.1.3

I have an iPhone 3GS 32GB thats still running on 3.0 firmware Is there anyway I can Jailbrake and unlock it without updating the firmware? Thanks guys

Xxxxxxx

Hi Geohot, Any forecast on when will unlock available for 3.1.3? Thanks

I jailbrake and unlocked my iphone 3G successfully and it works fine however I have notice that other iphone 3g have the capability to send multimedia text messages and my iphone doesnt. any ideas why?

i need help .. i just woke up and my iphone just stopped conncting to wifi. the wifi is greyed out and saids "no wifi" i want to restore but i;ve been trying to download the firmware but whenever i do and extract the files it just keeps giving me folders but no proper ipsw file. i dont know wat im doing wrong or how can i start fixing my fon with this issue. i have an iphone 3g with 3. 1. 2. firmware unlock and jailbroken its been working just fine for how many months now and the wifi just stopped working.. anyone can help me with a proper ipsw file so i can restore?

there are only 2 option for u....1 is restored the phone and take it to apple store if you still have warranty..2 is keep this phone and use it as is because if you restore it the wifi is dead and you can't not download anything without wifi..suck..same happened to me...this is up to u...let me know if you restored and the wifi work again.

i dnt have warranty, got the firmware and found this unlock without wifi. didnt help with jump starting the wifi bar.. so still the same prblem.. no wifi.. yup!sucks big tym!

Try network reset before restoring it will solve your issue. (from the setting, general, reset..) hope this helps.

tried doing that too.. i restored everything. freezed it as well. still doesnt work.. i heard its hardware not software..

I have jailbroken my iPhone with both Pwnage Tool and Red Sn0w, and I can't get it unlocked with either UltraSn0w or BlackRa1n because Cydia is not being installed using either. So, right now I have a very expensive book reader. Maybe I should go back down to 3.0, if that's possible. I can't get anything from Saurik's apt so nothing works. From what I see here with BlackRa1n, I'd better not unlock my phone with it. Ah well.

My 3G iPhone baseband is 04.26.08, and I'm wondering can I use this tutorial to unlock my iPhone? Please help.. Thanks..

I need help i just jailbreake iphone 3gs but cannot connect to youtube i downloaded cydia.iphoneil.net when i look the pushfix option a cannot find it, any other potions let me know thanks for you replay

im having problems i now have restored/jailbroken with the latest blackrain followed the steps above now its 3 times and it says NO SERVICE it is the base band im supposed to be on i just bought the new 3g from apple i dont see what is the problem PLEASE HELP

After you jailbreak the phone using blackra1n from blackra1n.com. Follow the instructions on this and after all is done go to settings and then go into general then networks turn off the 3G and the. Turn your iPhone off and turn it back on and bam you got signal let me know if this helps if not I will let u have my number and I can walk you through it over the phone

i have an iPhone 2G and was wondering if this works with 2G also..???? please let me know if you any idea and have tried on 2G.. Thanks.. !!!

Yes in fact you are probably at an advantage if you have the earlier baseband. I did it with my 2g... no problem. See the tutorials on here for iPhone 2g jailbreak and unlock using Pwnage.

But this tutorial doesn't say that it can be used with iPhone 2g too...

Not this tutorial. Click on 'Tutorials' at top left and then 'iPhone' then 'Jailbreak' and find the right one for you in the list. If Unlock is not included you may need to then go to Unlock tutorials as well. (I believe some are combined some are not) Pete

But I was wondering that If I could upgrade it to 3.1.2 an then unlock it... Which none of the tutorials say...

If you follow what I said above you can find a jailbreak and unlock which will automatically install the latest OS 3.1.2. "It is not the world that needs peace, it is people. When people in the world are at peace within, the world will be at peace" Prem Rawat

Ok first you rplug your 2G in the computer and run blackra1n. After your done you will see cydia icon on the phone. Go into settings and turn your wifi on. After you have wifi signla open cydia it will reorganize and shut down. Touch cydia again it will prompt you that there is a ugrade complete the upgrade. And at somepoint it will ask you who you are select user. After the upgrade is complete turn cydia on again and select search and type boot neuter. Download boot neuter. Once done. Close out and you will see black boot icon on the screen. Before anything go into setting and select auto lock and select never. Then exit out go to boot icon and touch it. After it's done config select neuter and unlock and on the top right select flash and just wait it takes a while but Wala unlocked iPhone.

Alright I have a iPhone 3gs but it's from a different service provider then what my aim card is so before when it turn off itwould ask for the carriers sim card however... I did the blackra1n method but I have a question ..... If I turn it on and off will it still ask me for the carriers sim card or will my sim card work perfectly fine and will I be able to turn off and on my phone when I please??

It depends what modem chip you have. If your iPhone u bought before sept 2009 it might go into recovery mode if you ever turn it off or run out of battery. Best way to find out run blackra1n install cydia. And then turn your iPhone off. Wait 10 sec and turn it back on if it goes to connect to iTunes screen u have the new modem now at this point don't be scared plug the iPhone to the computer iTunes will open up don't click anything and close it out. Now double click blackra1n and run it again and it will boot your iPhone tada. I might post some video guides soon on YouTube please donate if this helps

For all of you that gets "No Service". I get it, but i figuered out a way to get it to work. It takes time but I have succeeded 4 times. Just unlock it with blacksn0w. When you get "No service" you put the phoen in flight mode. Take out the sim, put it in again och try again. I have done that 10000 of times and it works every 150 time. But as I said, I've unlocked it 4 times by doing that. If you figure out any easy way, please let me know! Good Luck!

Hi, the best way is to reset the iphone, but now with the 3gs it is impossible if you don't have your laptop with you :( at least i'm not getting this no service since i switched to the 3G3 one week ago, before i was using a 3G and actually i faced this problem when i update it to the 3.1.2. putting it in flight mode then off again didn't solve the issue in any case.

It doen't do the trick for me either, if I do it less then 200 times. But after 4h of trying i got service. And I've done it 4 times now. Nothing to recomend, but it's better the "downgrading" to iPod touch :)

Hi, i seem to have the same problem with my YouTube! i was wondering if you have found a way to tackle this problem? and what is this "Push Fix" you mentioned? where can i find this fix and how to install it? thank you so much for your time.

hello.... i am thinking of getting a Iphone 3GS from Apple store soon. Before buying the iphone, i wanna to know if it is possible to unlock the phone with the BlackSnow. can anyone help me plz? thax...

Hi, you can use blackra1n to both unlock and jailbreak within one minute, if you have wifi, read the posts here: https://iclarified.com/5886 hope this helped Asaad iPhone, iPhone 3G 8GB, iPhone 3GS 32 GB

Thax a lot... But u know I have the new iPhone 3gs n everytime the phone turn off or battery die out, it lock back again. I was wondering if anyone can help me with the. Thax!!

Hi again, yes this is the issue with the 3GS, i have it too, you have to connect it to the computer and then run the blackra1n again, it will reboot, this should be done every time you restart your iphone or it turn it off, or the battery die, i carry the blackra1n in my usb just incase my laptop was not wit me :D hopping that we'll get a solution soon for such case. hope this helped.

I would suggest you take a refurbished iphone 3GS from ATT in case you are in US. it will cast you $149 16GB. Remember refurbished phones are once that are returned within 30 days of use and come with @1 year warranty. The important thing is that they might have old rom that allows non tethered jb (ie no need to use blacksn0w each time you restart your iphone). Myself and about five of my friends took refurb 3GS iphones and we got old boot rom and one guy got 4.26 baseband. So we are very happy..

thax a lot!! hope they come with a solution for this soon.

I have a 3g, 3.1.2, 05.11.07 I unlocked yesterday using the above method. Everything seemed to have gone fine. Installed new sim worked fine, no problems. Today however, I have been getting "no service". I found that if I take out the sim card and reset the phone then put the sim back in I will get service again for a little while, but after awhile it will go back to "no service". Any ideas?

I would try (with no harm done) to go reset network setting from general settings ,try it when the SIM is Inside with/without 'no service message', and reply to us please.

Thanks for your help. I tried what you suggested, I think it worked. I figured out that it worked fine until I would enter a location that didn't get a signal, once it lost the signal it wouldn't pick it back up. Seems to be working fine now though.

Hi, i don't know if it happens with anyone else, but for me with the iPhone 3Gs, I'm not getting the no service thanks God, but i did the netword reset from the settings to try to fix the gps, and 2 from the 3 times caused my iphone to go into an infinite loop of restarting, i had to restore it again deleting all data and do the above again :( any one faced this? so don't try it too much
