Simon, Thank You!!!
Just completed the jailbreak and unlock process with Blackra1n /sn0w
Also ran the YouTube fix…everything works great…Even my voicemail with Tmo works!!
Signal strength is back

Thanks for guiding me to the right place.

Keep up the good work George!!

Thanks geohot… Been waiting for someone to unlock the 3.1.2 firmware.
This worked flawlessly on my 3G
bootloader 05.09
baseband 05.11.07
firmware 3.1.2

Only problem im having is with my signal strength with Tmobile.
On my nokia (tmobile) I am able to get atleast 2 bars
But on my iPhone, after unlocking with Purplesn0w RC 2, I get no signal at all.
Also, after my phone goes to sleep it takes a while to recognize my Wifi connection.

Im quite positive its not a problem with the Sim Card cause when I pop it back into my Nokia I get a decent signal.

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same issues?

Hi Simon ..would like to know when will the unlock tool for firmware 3.1 be out ,as its been some time since 3.1 is out ..i am sure guys at Devs team are somewhere near a solution for windows users..since i am using an unlocked phone i guess Blackrain is not the answer..

Hey Simon,

what do users do with a 3GS which is not activated on AT&T network?
The phone has not been activated at all and is there any way of by passing the same to get to be unlocked to be used outside the AT&T service?

@Dallas, you need to add the source first. It’s not in Cydia by default. To add the source, you can tap “Manage” -> “Sources” in cydia.
