it depends on which version you have as one has a different boot up ROM

This might help you, http://www.iphonehacks.com/2009/10/a...lbreaking.html

 

Hope it can be unlocked

 

anyone know anything?

 

O2 have to unlock all iPhones, new or old, when requested as they do not have the monopoly on them anymore! So why bother with soft unlocks and jailbreaking when you can have it officially unlocked by apple, via O2, so you never have to worry about updating to new firmware, restoring, etc and losing the unlock and jailbreak you've applied?

 

mines on Orange so dont think O2 will touch it

 

ive been searching all over net for a solution to the dreaded 3.1.3 as mine was jailbroken with 3.1.2 til i updated it and it wiped it of any trace of the jailbreak.apple have won for now me thinks

 

did you see that Vid i put up B19 JUB? i think it might be fixed.

 

hmm interesting.will have to give that a try me thinks

 

no joy for me.did exactly what he said and just blanked phone.had to do a full restore on itunes.maybe the 3.1.3 completely overuns the old bootloader

 

Adam - Go to the Orange shop! OFCOM have ruled that all mobile phones MUST be unlocked by the carrier by request of the owner, either when asked, or at least 12mths after purchase. If O2 can do it, Orange have to aswell! It's not the network provider that actually unlocks it, it's Apple. In my case, I bought a PAYG sim from O2, so I was now an O2 customer. So I filled out their form, and they take the info to Apple in California, who unlock the baseband on their database using the phone's IMEI number. Then, when you plug it into iTunes (after the database has been updated) with a sim from a different network, iTunes sends the info back to Apple HQ to check if it's ok, and Apple's database tell iTunes yes, the phone in unlocked, and iTunes unlocks your baseband. Mines working perfectly on T-Mobile now, with no sign of a Jailbreak of soft unlock in sight!

B19 JUB - unless you used software to preserve your baseband and bootloader when you were on 3.1.2, then 3.1.3 will totally overwrite it, meaning you have no way of unlocking it untill the Dev Team come up with a work around. Apple are not dumb to this anymore, and work VERY hard to get one step ahead of the Dev's, which is why I decided, after two years of owning an iPhone that was Jailbroke and soft unlocked, to go down the official route...
