Best iPhone Unlock?

jonsteele · 08-26-2009, 05:32 AM

I'm about to aquire my parnters 3G iPhone (she's upgrading to a 3Gs), and I want to unlock it so I can use my company Vodafone SIM (I'm fed up of the unuseful BlackBerry 8100 and can live without being connected to my works email!).

Can anyone recommend the best software to do this, I've found this, but don't know anyone with any experience of unlocking their iPhone (everyone seems happy with O2), and I don't want a load of hassle to get it working!

Any help appreciated.

How good are you on computers? You can do it yourself for free here http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/1269...edsn0w-in-june

You use Redsn0w to jailbreak it then ultrasn0w to do the unlock http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/128573459/ultras-now

Once its been unlocked you can install Tom Tom sat nav

Hope that helps..

Got mine from Demonoid.com Tom Tom uk and western europe. You have to be a member to get it and registration is closed at the min.

If you search 'google' you will find

I used redsn0w and ultrasn0w to unlock mine... apart from one screen where you have to be a bit quick on your feet it goes fine.

jonsteele · 08-27-2009, 04:26 AM

Does this give compatibility with future Apple software versions?

Yes, they crack the new software when apple releases it, all you do is update your phone in itunes then use redsn0w and Ultrasn0w to unlock sometimes the iphone dev team change the name of there software it used to be called quickpwn.

When an update comes out just keep an eye on the dev team website and they will tell you when to update and what to do etc...

Found one on piratebay. Thanks. I did search yesterday, but nothing

coodem · 08-27-2009, 03:53 PM

Just tried to install it, but get an error towards the end. So Im back to square 1. The search continues looking for UK and Ireland. Western Eu just too big for my 8Gb

coodem · 08-27-2009, 04:46 PM

OK all sorted, it turned out to be a permissions issue. All appears to be working nicely. Going to test in the morning. I think/ hope that the 3gs has a better GPS unit, because I have never been happy with the standard 3G GPS signal.

The 3G is the old iPhone (MkII) and was only available in 8 or 16GB. The 3Gs is the latest model and is available in 32GB.

let me know how you get on with voda and iphone jonsteele - i'm with voda, and am looking to change, possibly to iphone.

i need to be able to use microsoft exchange with it though....

jonsteele · 08-28-2009, 05:47 AM

Girlfriend has arsed up - she's not due a free upgrade until Jan, so my plans are on hold (unless I can find a cheap iPhone elsewhere). Looks like I'll have to put up with my shite BlackBerry for a few more months!

I've heard that O2 are soon to loose the sole contract for iPhones, so hopefully other providers will start offering it and the prices will go down.
