Unlocked German iPhone not working

The problem is the SIM card. Any hack that would resolve the issue would mess with the baseband of the phone. A restore would not fix this.

Earlier in the thread somebody said that the "international" are new in 1.1.2. Maybe these "international" are the problem with our phone. Did anyone try out to downgrade to 1.1.1? Just downgrade - nothing more. So if that is possible we are working with original apple software - and that could not be a problem with our warranty.
If we are trying - what could be the worst case? Reset to 1.1.2?

Did anyone try???

You are very miss informed. Nothing is being done to the baseband (I think) and as the iphone is already unlocked nothing needs to be done to it. Read the thread above, do the googles and then you will understand the problem. According to some sites the baseband can also be returned to the original state. Very dangerous and don't go there. This thread has to date only discussed the problem of taking an iphone to a country not supported.

In conclusion it is not the sim that is the problem, but rather the comparison between the sims data (country unique) and the limited data within the iphone FW (unique to only countries that Apple choose to support at this time)

My only point was that you should not attempt to make it work on your own as all the methods out there now DO alter the baseband. Doing so would make your phone unofficially unlocked and very difficult to upgrade.

I thought about this as well, anybody who tried this ?
would be usefull to know.

Hi maybe you can answer something for me please? I bought an iphone from France telecom 2 days ago. 649 euro I then had to put 100 euro credit onto the phone which then got taken off. I was told the unlock code for the phone would be snt to me via post within a week??? Can you confirm this is how it works and also what I do with the code they send??

it does not accept another SIMcard than AT&T in the 1.1.1 status.

Today it's D-day guys. Let's hope Apple will release the 1.1.3 firmware update this Saturday and that our problems will be over...

Don't get your hopes up. 1.1.3 is a rumor. The release date is a rumor.

There is no reason to expect it today.

Dear,
I bought the iphone 14days ago whilst in Germany at a T-Mobile shop for 999Euro
and brought to Ghana.It activated after 48hours,I cannot dial from the keypad,cannot access my SMS,cannot receive a call except from an iphone,my bluetooth cannot receive nor pair with any other device.I have sent phone back to Germany by DHL with my international MTN roaming chip.I want T-Mobile to get the things mentioned working before they send back the phone to me.I hope it works cause I enjoyed the emails I could receive and send with it.
Hope to get some good news to post nextweek

they idd say they send the code over by mail, but that's ******** as I've seen on french forums.

the only thing what's in that mail is that you need to connect to iTunes and do a repair of your iPhone.

Lots of people are now doing repairs before they get the "codes" with success.

So iv you've called the hotline and they took your credit and you gave them your IMEI nr you should wait a couple of days and try to restore your iPhone with iTunes (I try to do this every night now)

If you're on OSX you should remove the firmware ou downloaded the day before in username/library/itunes directory.

hope this helps 🙂



another thing no 1.1.3 today 😟
I don't know how iTunes scedules it's days when it searches for updates, but it first said that it would look for updates today, and now it says it will look again for updates on 15/12... maybe this is just random.

anyway I hope for an update soon, to save our day 🙂

Hi!

What the **** are you talking about? Which codes?

I talked to apple several times, and the last answer they gave me was better to bring the iphone back than to wait for a solution.

I just jailbreaked successfully, but - correct me, if I am wrong - that doesn't help a bit, does it?
I can't even install anysim cause it is 1.1.2.

Don't get e wrong: I was loyal to apple by buying a unlocked iphone for 999€.
But it doesn't work, so I follow any lead I am given.

So, it's jailbreaked. Now what?

all the best!

when buying french unlocked phone orange says they send you codes to unlock, but in stead of a code the letter just contains instructions on how to restore your firmware with iTunes

ok, I see....

So, do french iphones work with international simcards?
Or is this code just for the general unlock?

Did you have the chance to try other simcards? It is 1.1.2, isn't it?

i still hope
