Just Jailbroke and unlocked by 3GS. Everything worked like a charm. During unlock, after step 12, it asked me to “Reboot device” rather than “Return to Cydia”
Havent tested if the phone is unlocked or not, but everything appears ok. Thanks a lot. Great set of instructions as well.

Once I switched to I.E. it was super simple using Windows Vista. The directions are great and so is the jailbreak and unlock.

Thanks…

Hi iPhone Heat i need ur help .
My iPhone GS is NOT Activated (for Official Carrier Users)and i download already the custom firmware n i restore from the itunes but after done the got some text that says

The SIM Card inserted in this phone does not appear to be supported

Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone.
Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported Carrier’s store to receive a replacement SIM card.

Btw i dunno what is the modem firmware version .
Can u let me know why is that happend ?

Thanks

  never erase data from within iPhone when you have a jailbroken device.. this is what happens afterward
  now put your iPhone into DFU mode and restore

Reply

  because iPhone Baseband 05.12.01 is not unlockable at the moment..
  and you lose Cydia because Apple hates jailbreaking
