Hello,

Everything worked fine but couldn’t make calls. I enabled the option “show my caller ID” in the phone settings and then could make calls without problems.. hope this helps if you experience similar issues

Well, the snow turned quite yellow today with the use of release 0.9.6 downloaded from Cydia. I’ve followed the steps as described in the guide provided by the iPhoneclub (Dutch site) to the letter and unlocked my American iPhone in no time without any problems at all! So finally, no more misery and life shortening irritations with an x-sim which lost complete connection more than twice a week and now a full (Telfort) signal and 3G without having to become intimately close with the kitchen and/or bathroom window… More than excellent!!!

I did a successful Jailbreak and have yell0wsnow running. When I drop in my Sprint sim card I get “no service”. I have a 16GB 3G – is Sprint not gonna work? Any/all advice would be very much appreciated!!

Thanks in advance all!

I had 9.1 was working flawlessly, now I upgraded to 9.6 and wasn’t really working well at first (low reception, kept searching, etc.) Now it works flawlessly after I took out the sim and inserted it back in while the phone was on. (no more terminal, no more airplane on/off)

Here’s good news. 9.6 worked immediately with a third party SIM. It worked with the native SIM without a restart. No problem with outgoing calls with the native, Rogers SIM. No more airplane mode. No more Boss Prefs. It’s a straight forward unlock. So 9.6 is the version everybody has been waiting for.

There are endless solutions on the Dev Team Blog. Lots of people have their own approaches to this. You didn’t have to ignore the Cydia update, but whatever works. What will be interesting is whether or not this unlock sticks for you. Will your phone be a perennial T-Mobile USA phone? That is what a real unlock does. That is what it assures. I don’t think this is a real unlock. Based on what I’m reading this unlock isn’t assured. It isn’t that it reverts, it’s that it suddenly starts seeing the SIM as “Invalid”. I’m glad it worked for you. Let us know if you still have a T-Mobile phone in two weeks.

Worked T-Mobile USA 2.2 +3G 16GB. Did it twice. 1st time took an hour to get running. 2nd time almost immediately. My advice, after QuickPwn, establish WiFi, load Cydia, let it reorganize and reboot phone. Then run Cydia, ignore any and all update suggestions. Only download yellowsn0w. Exit Cydia and reboot, Reset network settings .. this will reboot iPhone. Let it sit about 1-2 minutes after reboot …. then turn off 3G & turn on airplane, wait 1 min, turn off airplane. Should find network within 10 seconds. Worked for me this easy. My original problem was I wasn’t waiting long enough between steps and also wanted to extra precaution by installing SBSetting. Don’t do it!!. Keep it clean and virgin … let yellowsn0w do its job. You can always install later if necessary.

I’m with Fido here in Canada, and so far it seems to be a no go. Once I have yellowsn0w installed, it makes my native sim really patchy and doesn’t seem to really work with Rogers sims aways. I’m just gonna hold off for a stable release, as I only really want it for travelling to Europe in the spring.

I Onviously I am going overseas and want to use a sim chip I will pick up there. Till then I wanted to see if the software worked at all. It has serious problems
