have you tried black rain or redsnow yet, has it got the updated firmware?, when i did mine i had absoloutly no problems tbh was literally plug and play so something isn't right (obviously ), plus that new jailbreak wont unlock it i don't think to any network just jailbreaks the software, when it's connected to itunes does it ask to update the phone or does it state it's got the latest software installed on the iphone screen in itunes, worse case update the software and try again.

In itunes it says theres no sim card, obviously the three sim card wont work because its locked to 02, thats why im trying to jailbreak, unlock first

So if i put any 02 sim card in my phone it will work enough to get it unlocked/jailbroken and then working on my Three sim?
EDIT im still confused, can i actually get it unlocked myself(just like jailbreaking) or will i still have to go to 02 to get it unlocked etc for it to work properly?

When i Jailbroke my Iphone that was on O2.......i used Blackrain at the time........It unlocked the phone and i now use my Orange sim card in it.
So all i can say is i jailbroke my phone and it unlocked it to any network.....

Black rain does both unlock and jailbreak, this new one only jailbreaks as far as I'm aware never personaly tried it bit that's what the info on the net was saying about the new jailbreak

I found a 02 sim card in my spare room(of all places) so i stuck that in and the phone started to operate abit more, so i then did that spiritjb and it worked first time, then it made me download cydia? and where im at now is the phone works as in i can see all the menus and go on the internet/set up wifi etc, but i put my three sim back in and theres no signal at all, and the phone doesnt seem to pick it up?
Is there there some settings i need to play about with or is it because Spirit did not unlock it and i still need to do it?

So what do i do now then? ive got an 02 sim card but when putting it in it says no service and waiting for activation.
But this sim is probably years old and i dont know if its pay as you go or contract.

Black rain and red snow on 3,12 firmwhere jailbreaks the phone with the option of unlocking the phone( jailbreak will not unlock any phone!)
New firmwhere 3.13 which sprit jailbreakes will not unlock just jailbreak.
As far as I'm aware there isn't a prigram which unlocks the new firmwhere yet.
Hope that helps

As above, if you are on 3.1.3 then you only can jailbreak it, but no unlock.
You will have to wait a bit, cos it seems the 3.1.3 wont get cracked anymore, cos the 4.0 will come in a few weeks/months.

it is possible, but if you downgrade to 3.1.2, you just downgrade the firmware but not the baseband that came with the 3.1.3. if that is 5.12.01 you can try the fuzzyband app in cydia.
But not really know if it works or not...depends on the bootloader version you iphone got

Trying fuzzyband now
EDIT tried it and it says "sorry downgrading will only work with baseband bootloader 05.08, mine is 06.02 nothing goes right for me
So if theres absolutely nothing i can do myself to unlock it would 02 be able to unlock it? dont mind giving them £15 if they will unlock it without all this hassle

I thought I had a few brand new ones too, until I checked the date. Mine had to be activated by dec 09! O2 sent me 4 free sim cards a while back. I'd check the date on them to be sure.

For the £10 top up it costs you it would save a whole load of hassle in the end.
