hey guys my 3gs fell in the sink so gonna get a 4 soon, i don't have a data plan and don't want one can i just buy a iphone 4 off CL and get a microsim from fido and pop it in and use it like i did with my 3gs? and i heard theres a option to block data usage completely on IOS 4 and above is that correct? thnx guys

MTV Cribs 10-11-2011 05:55 PM

Yes you can do that. You can try cutting you old sim card first and if you did it correctly it should work fine. If not then go buy one from fido for $10.

I know I hear stories like this all the time on the intarnets, but when it comes to people I actually know who try to do it, they never get the same deal. Makes you wonder

Psykopathik 10-14-2011 07:12 AM

there are no new features worth losing your Jailbreak over. wait till a proven method is available.

skholla 10-14-2011 11:15 AM

I think getting a free replacement is totally up to the "genius" behind the counter. Maybe it's their mood or how tight their hipster jeans are that determines if yours will be free. Although I have heard of more women getting freebies, I wonde why? ;)

On another note, I heard that the apple stores were packed today, 200+ people lined up. I walked into future shop at 9am this morning, waited 20 minutes and got a new 64gb iPhone 4S... Sweet!!!

Where can i go to get cheap case and screen protectors? is there any good places in rmd or burnaby?

van19 10-17-2011 10:09 PM

I just got a iPhone 4. Was wondering how can I unlock this ? Should I take it out to someone or is there an way you can do on your computer ?

Teh Doucher 10-17-2011 10:13 PM

Why didn't you just get it for the carrier you are on?

Iceman_2K 10-18-2011 06:22 AM

Why didn't you get the carrier unlocked version?

van19 10-18-2011 06:49 AM

I bought it off eBay cause it was cheaper. It's from AT&T. Can I still unlock it for Fido ? :confused:

skholla 10-18-2011 08:09 AM

yes you can, you will need to be mindful of baseband firmware, ios version and never ever update to a new ios version unless you are using a patch ios ipsw file. iclarified is your friend... iClarified - Unlock Wizard for iPhone

van19 10-18-2011 12:38 PM

Hey. Thanks for the help. Does that mean if I wanted to update to another firmware in the future, I would lose the unlock ?

Is there a unlock for OS 5 ? Does the app from Cydia work ? Its called ultrasn0w or something. If I go out and do it, will it be permanent ? Sorry, I'm a apple noobie :p

Thanks again

Everytime you update, your phone is going into a fresh install and what apple does is revert your phone to your back'ed up state. Anytime you update you lose all jailbreak/unlock. There is an unlock for iOS5, but the jailbreak that goes with it is tethered. Permanent depends on when the next jailbreak/unlock comes out for the new firmware you have updated.

van19 10-19-2011 02:35 PM

Hey $_$. Can you show me the unlock for iOS5 ? I dont mind tethered, its better than nothing. I've been to three cellphone shops today and they all can't unlock it. I need to downgrade OS in order to unlock. I tried to go into DFU mode in iTunes and restore but pops up an error. Any help ?

Thanks

ddr 10-19-2011 06:41 PM

go look at redmondpie or iphonedownloadblog. you have to change your hosts file in windows, or use tinyumbrella to fool itunes. can't say it's worked for everyone now. consensus is that downgrading doesn't work anymore. you also might have upgraded your baseband already.

van19 10-19-2011 07:20 PM

Yeah, I've tried tinyumbrella. I'm pretty much SOL right ?
Guess I'll return this and buy a new Fido one.

Thanks everybody for the help.

Psykopathik 10-21-2011 07:26 AM

tiny umbrella only works if you have previously saved your SHSH files.
