My mate has what you do and says you can't.

He says the block you.

Not sure if its any help to you. But you can watch skygo on a jailbroken ipad2 anyway.

Ya that's what I'm doing at the moment, but would prefer to watch it on a TV.
Looks like I'll have to get a cable so and go directly from the ipad to the tv.:(

Raoul · 21-02-2012 1:05pm

How much are the cables? 39 euro? I might be interested in getting one too.

I must look into myself, there seems to be alot of different cables and then official/non official versions. I presume the official hdmi adapter would be the best, around €40 on amazon.

Raoul · 21-02-2012 1:21pm

Think its only 39 euro in the shops.

I would be happy getting a non-official one if someone could tell me it was ok.

Gevey ultra S shoul be released 4-7th of march. Over 50 dollars though

23-02-2012 7:29pm

The Sky Go app has stopped working for me recently. From what I'm reading, they've stopped it from working on jailbroken devices. It still opens but will not play any video.

coach22 · 23-02-2012 8:42pm

allrite lads...quick question about tiny umbrella as i know nothing about it. I just downloaded tiny umbrella to save my shshs blobs before apple bring out 5.1. as I'm waiting on the new gevey and dont want to be stupid and upgrade the baseband again like i did previously! anyway tiny umbrella says it has saved blobs for 4.3.3, 4.3.5 and 5.0.1. so is it possible to use the 4.3.5 blob for example and would that get rid of the current 4.11.08 baseband on the phone at present?

guil · 23-02-2012 8:53pm

it's impossible to downgrade the basband on any 3GS, 4 or 4s

Hey guys, I have a little unlocking question (sorry!:o). I recently bought an iPhone 4 from my friend, it's locked on Vodafone. I'm on Meteor and was wondering what my unlock options are?

It's on baseband 04.11.08 so I know I can't do it myself, will any phone shops (official or unofficial)or Meteor unlock this for me?

Thanks in advance for any info!

28-02-2012 1:43am

You'll have to get Vodafone to do it.

Thanks for the reply! Is Vodafone the only place that can unlock it, and can I do it not being the original owner?

What about any of those side street shops that unlock phones?

Most of these just jailbreak the phone and unlock it that way but this isn't possible with the baseband you have. Some have "connections" with the network and may be able to, but I don't know any specific ones.

You don't need to be the original owner, I got my uncle's 3GS unlocked using my Vodafone account.

Do you know anyone on Vodafone who could do it for you? They can do it online. If they're on billpay it shouldn't be an issue, for prepay they need to have topped up by €127 since signing up or receiving their last unlock.

My mam is with Vodafone, she would be prepay and would have topped up way more than that, but she would never have unlocked a phone though! Could that work?

Could do. She needs to log into My Vodafone, go to the NAC section and enter the IMEI of your phone and an e-mail address. Make sure it identifies the phone correctly, down to the capacity and colour (it actually does prompt for this). When the request is sent it will take anything from a couple of days to a couple of weeks to be processed - you'll then receive an e-mail to the address you specified.

Brilliant, I'm just doing that now, thanks so much for your help!:)

EDIT: Damn it doesn't look like i can do it;

"Unless otherwise instructed, always ensure that a Vodafone SIM Card is in the handset prior to trying to unlock it. NAC in the instructions refers to the Vodafone Network Access Code. Wherever NAC appears in the instructions insert the NAC code you have been given."

My mam's sim isn't a micro sim so wouldn't fit the phone

No probs. I'd be surprised if it actually works at this hour as Vodafone's site tends to stop working after 11pm or so. Try again tomorrow if you've no joy.

Nah, that doesn't apply to the iPhone, it's a generic instruction. They don't give you a code per se, they send a request to Apple to unlock it and the unlock is then done when you sync via iTunes.

Senna · 01-03-2012 2:23am

I have a 3gs on version 4.3.3 and baseband 06.15.00, so i have read that i can unlock.
I can find out the redsn0w 0.9.6 rc15 will unlock it, but what i'm not sure of is if i cant get that exact version of redsn0w but i can get a newer version, will the newer version work too?? or is a redsn0w 0.9.6 rc15 specificity for 4.3.3.
Also i have the latest Itunes, do i need to get an older version to work with redsn0w 0.9.6 rc15?

The latest redsn0w will do fine. All it does is jailbreaks the phone and adds cydia. When everything is finished go into cydia and tap search and type ultrasn0w. Install that and restart the phone and voila. Don't update though

Betty-ireland · 02-03-2012 11:33am

Just bought an iphone 4 locked to o2. Would prefer an official unlock to a jailbreak. o2 said the phone was never registered to an o2 account though. I'm not with o2 myself either. And they said the phone would need to be registered with an o2 acc and €150 top up required before they'd unlock! Am I totaly stuck now?

guil · 02-03-2012 2:21pm

have a look on unlock guru, supposedly they have links in o2 and can get it done for about 80

david75 · 06-03-2012 1:01am

Hi folks,
i'm jailbroken and unlocked, just a question about itunes, can i do backup and restore from itunes? i have one of those cydia apps, aptbackup that remembers what mods i've made but i'm afraid to back my music up cos i've no lnger access to the home computer this phone was started on.

anyone any ideas?
thanks

Is the phone unlocked by ultrasn0w. If so don't restore without using a "cooked" firmware and preserve the baseband For the music you could use share pod to transfer it all to your current pc and then sync

david75 · 06-03-2012 2:43pm

pretty sure it was ultrasnow, but it was quite a while ago. I'll look up sharepod also, thanks a million for the response

guil · 06-03-2012 3:06pm

Go to cydia then manage and then packages. If ultrasn0w is there don't do a normal update

david75 · 06-03-2012 3:10pm

cool will do. thank you!

david75 · 06-03-2012 3:27pm

yeah it's ultrasnow. is there a way around this?

Senna · 07-03-2012 12:29am

kev1 · 07-03-2012 5:48pm

Hi,
I have an iphone 4s iOS 5.0.1 locked on AT&T, baseband 1.0.14, which I want to unlock.

From researching online, I see there is little chance of an ultrasn0w unlock coming anytime soon. However, there are these SIM Transposers which claim to do this. Are these reliable? Anyone ever use them?

I have found a couple of different types and the two I keep seeing popping up on various forums are:
1. Gevey Ultra S sim from applenberry, found here: http://applenberry.com/store/gevey-sim/gevey-ultra-s - cost $64.99

2. GPP SIM which works specifically for 4s locked on AT&T. I have found these on two different places
a. http://www.store4iphone.com/product/gpp-unlock-sim-for-all-at-t-iphone-4s/ - which sells it for $52.99
b. http://www.buygpp.com/ - which sells it for only $29.99 (with shipping).

From a price viewpoint, this last place looks the most attractive. A company called www.iphonerepairmiamibeach.com (http://www.facebook.com/iPhoneRepairMia ) is behind this website. But, I don't really know anything about them and I don't know if its a reliable place or is it too good to be true??

If anyone has any insight into any of these places, it would be great to hear!

Thanks.

P.s. sorry for the long post

obi604 · 07-03-2012 10:00pm

I have an iPhone 4S running IOS 5.0.1

It is also jail broken

Can I install IOS 5.1 on my phone now ?

Or do I have to un jailbreak it first ?

Brian017 · 07-03-2012 10:03pm

You can install it but you'll lose the JB

Maybe with a new Gevey SIM. Be aware though, if your mate defaults on the bill, 3 may blacklist the phone and this will render it useless on any Irish network.
