iPhone 3GS, 5.16.05, 5.11 unlock

jenniferny · Nov 9, 2012

This is my first attempt to unlock & Jailbreak my iPhone.

I have installed Cydia, I have installed iPad Baseband 6.15.00

Is my phone unlocked now, or did I miss or forget a step?
How can you tell if your iPhone is Jailbroken?
how can I tell if my iPhone is unlocked?

I can make calls and access internet via Wi-Fi.

What is my next step? I have read the unlock beginner thread but am still confused.-

If you see Cydia on your springboard somewhere, it's jailbroken. You can tell your phones unlocked by putting in a SIM from another carrier in and trying it out. To unlock the iPad baseband you'll need to use UltraSn0w. Flashing to the iPad baseband only changes your baseband and does not unlock it at the same time

OK, I finally installed ultrasn0w, but it did not do anything after it installed and I can not figure out how to run it. I reinstalled it and it was the same. Is there instructions somewhere or what am I doing wrong? My phone lost cellular connection and I clicked restart springboard. What do I do now. How do I set up the phone for a new 3g connection. I get the message tha6t I am not subscribed to a cellular data service, but I am. These are the instructions I got from the carrier but I can not find where to make the changes:

Just restart all your network settigns by clicking: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
After that, make sure your Cellurar Data is ON, 3G is ON. Try to turn off your wifi. If still no cellurar connection, try to Turn On your Roaming Settings (if it was turned on, try to turn it OFF). U really dont need to put the manual information about you cellurar internet connection, these kind of phones making it automatically.

I did reset all Network Settings, and I am able to get a cellular connection without any problems, but am not able to connect to the 3G or Data. 3G is on, Cellular Data is on, Roaming is on, Wi-Fi is off, SIM is installed and I do have a cellular data subscription. When I go into Safari I get: Could not activate cellular data network. You are noot subscribed to a cellular data service.
How can you tell if the phone was unlocked or if it is still locked? Is there some characteristic or label or setting that changes when the phone is unlocked?
Thank you for your help. Doing this is completely new to me and it is great that there are so many people here willing to help.

Go to Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network. Then change the APN according to the settings of the carrier you're trying to connect to.

On the "Network" page there is:
3G- On/Off
Cellular data- On/Off
Data Roaming- On/Off
Setup Personal Hot Spot
VPN>-VPN-On/Off and Add VPN Configuration
Wi-Fi- Networks Available & On/Off

That is everything on that page.

Thank You to everyone that is and has responded!!!!!

jenniferny, you must find your carrier suggested vpn settings and write it into your vpn section in settings. Just try to type into google like: AT&T vpn settings. try to put your carrier instead of at&t and u will find it im sure. After u will find it, go to settings > General > Cellurar > Cellular Data Network and type there provided information about your carriers APN server.
Good luck

I just went to unlockit.nz, it installed APN Changer and it changed my APN to my current carrier. Then I turned off Wi-Fi, turned on 3G and connected to the internet immediately!! Is it possible it was this easy all along?????

willerz2 · Dec 9, 2012

Yes. Most carriers that you use for unlocks (especially the unlimited everything ones like StraightTalk or T-Mobile) will have APN settings that needs to be changed.

jenniferny · Dec 9, 2012

3G seems to work fine, but still NO Picture Messaging. Consumer Cellular uses aat.mvno and that seems to be set right, but still no picture messaging. Any ideas why??

nxxs · Dec 10, 2012

Picture messages is MMS, in the same setting, which i mention above, there are MMS server, user , pasword settings, u must enter your carrier provided information about MMS the same way.

Since your iPhone is jailbroke already I would recommend downloading an APN editor in Cydia. The one I use called tetherme, but I'm sure APN editing will do the trick. This way you can configure your APN settings to enable data and MMS. Make sure to uninstall the certificate from unlockit.co.nz if you use this method. They will have a bad effect if both used at the same time.
