Hi Guys,

I got an iPhone recently which was an O2 model. I got it unlocked & jailbroken at my local store so I could use my 3 sim card mainly, the bonus of being jailbroken is wasted on me.

Anyway, I was unable to access the mobile inter and speaking to 3 tech support they recommend that I reset my settings and said it wouldn't unjailbreak my phone. Guess what it did and not only that upgraded to 3.1.3, something I didn't want to do.

Now I'm having problems unlocking it.

I've tried using Black rain, snowbreeze and so on but no joy.

What I've done now it to restore my phone to factory setttings. But I don't know what software is on the phone, will it be 3.1.2 or 3.1.3?

Is there a way of unlocking the phone without jailbreaking it?

To find out the software version go into the Settings application then the General option and then select About. It should list various versions, one of which will be either 3.1.2 or 3.1.3. If you've done a factory restore then I'd say it'll be 3.1.3 as that is the latest version available.

As for how to unlock it. Unless O2 will unlock it again then at present there isn't any way to unlock the phone.

Start here http://shop.o2.co.uk/update/unlockmyiphone.html if you can fill the blanks you're done. If not, then you'll have to wait it out until the next firmware update.

As the phone is locked I can't get into the settings, it won't go past the registration page with the iTunes logo.

Cheers for that buddy, worth a go. But as I bought the phone as an unwanted upgraded I don't think I'll be able to as I'm not the origional O2 customer.

Who'd thought unlocking a phone would be so difficult.

Right I've activated my iphone using a friends o2 sim card and so I can now gain access to the settings. The iphone is currently running 3.1.3 and modem fireware of 05.12.01

sorry it would help http://www.redmondpie.com/unlock-iph...ith-blacksn0w/

all depends on your base band

Try the O2 website, if you manage to get them to lock it, and if it's an O2 phone they probably will, you'll double it's value. If not then enjoy your phone with an O2 sim, unlocking is ready but not released until the next firmware update.

I did mine through o2 , just let your friend know as they need the number the phones linked too as they send you a text when they've done it.
