Big mistake playing around with iTunes upgrade when your phone is not factory unlocked! First thing it messes up with is the baseband, and there are some basebands you can jailbreak but you cannot unlock, especially with >iPhone4 and > iOS5. Unfortunately, I got tired with playing around jail breaking & unlocking so I now buy only factory unlocked iPhones :-)
Helloz,
A colleague bought an iPhone 4, 16GiB which we are almost turning into a paperweight, bar for advise on a less tricky way to get it working. I know I could google, but I am banking on the experienced resources available on this list- Hello Ok3ch!
Now, this paperwight-to-be came with firmware 4.3.3 and was locked to AT&T network. My colleague got it Jail-broken (untethered Jailbreak I hear) and it was working.
One day the guy decided that he doesn't want to use iPhone anymore so decided to pass it across to missus, but before this he decided to wipe the damn thing by resetting to factory default! He connected it to iTunes, which then updated the device to firmware 5.0.1. It rendered the phone err..errr. okay, not quite useless but it ceased to work as a phone. Now, another creative colleague is trying to get the phone working. He has jailbroken it again, but now when we put in a SIM Card, the phone does not "see" the network - No Service, that is. And no, it's not in Aircraft mode.
Is there a way to get the device to run as a phone or is it that state where it should be used as a camera and iPod only?
