discombobulate

They sign 4.1 and 4.3.5. Look it up

guil

i'll take your word for it so, it's strange that they still sign 4.1 and no others, any idea why

discombobulate

No very strange since it allows any 3gs to be unlocked. Saved me a fair bit of bother though!

Two questions for an unlock noob.

What do you mean when you say Apple still sign for 4.1

What's a Gevey sim

coach22

Okay so yesterday I was having issues using the gevey sim with meteor and I noticed another user was having the same troubles a few pages back so I thought id let people know how I solved the issue incase they have the same problems.

I had to put the meteor sim into the iphone without the gevey sim first. Power it on and switch off the sim pin in settings. Next switch off the iphone put in the gevey and meteor sim and it should work then. The main problem i was having before was "sim locked" kept appearing on the phone before it would even get a chance to display the gevey instuctions. Also when i put in the correct pin it didnt seem to do anything. Anyway hopefully this can help someone out. I now have the iphone 4 on a €20 month bill pay smart contract with meteor. Happy Days!

A gevey sim is a little microchip on a sim-holder which you slip into the sim slot on the iphone WITH your own microsim.

It unlocks basebandson iphones which are already jailbroken.


You can get them on ebay for peanuts. These ones are clones from china etc. 99% of users say the clones are no different from the originals. But some users -like me using meteor - have problems geting them to work.

To get the gevey to work you need to ring 112, swithch on/off airplane mode in a precise order with precise timing - all of this can be gotten online quickly

Good luck!

I have removed my sim pin as you did, but still no luck with my gevey on meteor

I got a brand new microsim from meteor instead of 'cut' meteor sim. I thought that would help but no

I've tried about 100 different combo's of timing re the 112 call, airplane on/off etc but again no luck


Im thinking now that it might be my gevey. Where did you buy yours from?

Dr Nic

Btw coach - what did you use to unlock your iphone with?
And what os/baseband do you have?

Im running 4.3.3 with baseband 4.10.01 unlocked with jailbreakme.com

Maybe ultrasnow might do a better job unlocking and might help the gevey??

Yeah I used ultrasnow to do the unlock allright. My phone is 4.3.3. with baseband 4.10.01. The one other thing i used was an app i got on cydia called SAM. I dont no too much about this to be honest but I know youtube videos and facetime did not work when i first used the gevey with vodafone and this seemed to fix it.

I bought my gevey on ebay. It came in a yellow package. Gevey Supreme its called. To be honest the timing of making the calls isnt important with mine anyway. The most important thing for me was getting the instruction page where you press accept. Once i got this it worked. I wasnt getting that screen before i switched off the pin.

Once i get 1 bar of signal i call 112 and hang up after a second or 2. Then i switch on airplane mode. After maybe 10 or 15 seconds i get a message on screen saying no sim card installed. i press okay, switch off airplane mode and then a few seconds later meteor appears and the phone is unlocked.

I found this video to be good on using the gevey i have anyway.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kXxlpgDGf4.

Mine was only a €5 sent from china. Id say its worth a shot to try a new gevey in it

Dr Nic

I watched the vid and 2 things came from it

1 - i previously hadnt restarted my iphone afterdoing all the gevey steps
- i just redid all the gevey steps as per the video AND restarted the phone. Every restart was met with the gevey welcome 'accept' message screen. And no reception

2 - My gevey is the plus version in a red wrapper. His one is the supreme in a yellow wrapper. I'll order that and try it...

Thanks!

Yeah to be honest mine hardly ever remembers the network when i switch it off. everytime i switch it on i have to do the 112 thing but its no big deal. There must be something wrong with your gevey id say. ive heard of faulty ones before. At least u know the yellow one works with meteor now. hopefully you get sorted man! the only problem now is when ios5 comes out the geveys wont work! anyway best of luck with it!

Hi guys

Just got an iPhone 4 from a mate who wants me to Jailbreak it for him. Only thing is, it's 4.3.5 and fw 04.10.01

I used redsn0w to Jailbreak it with 4.3.4 fw as it says here. It goes through the whole process ok but only puts a blank cydia icon on screen.

Any suggestions please? He doesn't want to unlock it just jailbreak it.

Thanks

Doesn't work with 4.3.5. Only a tethered jailbreak

AntiRip

Ok sorted. I had to run redsn0w again and uncheck “Install Cydia” and select “Just boot tethered right now”. Worked:)

hey folks, quick question. Im operating off 4.0.1 jailbroken 3GS. I need to upgrade to 4.2 so I can use Sky go app. Any suggestions on how I go about it?

hi all

ive tried lots and read a lot but im stumped

so i got an iphone4 and needed to unlock but I upgraded it to BB 4.10.01 by mistake and knew nothing about blobs & tinyumbrella until it was too late....

so i bought a gevey ultra and tried it today
it didnt work and ended up dumping the phone into recovery mode
i have tried shift restore from dfu mode and a 4.3.3 ispw i have saved
but am getting error 1013, i tried a redsnow 4.1 ispw that i made before

i have also tried the hosts "fix" but to no avail
so now im in recovery loop (TU wont fix it)
and my gevey hasnt worked

if i do a regular restore will the gevey still work
or do the newer os and basebands reject the gevey


any tips welcome

cheers

you can only restore the phone with a custom firmware n in iTunes any normal apple firmware will kick back a iTunes error

i just fixed it with greenpoison.

Is there anyway to extract the SHSH blobs on a jailbroken iPhone with 4.3.5 firmware?

guil

use tinyumbrella to do it but bear in mind it will prob only save them for 4.3.5 and possibly 4.1

Dr Nic

Well i got the yellow gevey. Gevey supreme i think it is.
Still will not unlock my shagging iphone

I think i might redo the jailbreak using ultrasnow this time maybe...
Anyone any advice?
