yellowsn0w unlock iPhone 3G

The DevTeam has released yellowsn0w, the world’s first iPhone 3G unlock. You must upgrade to the latest baseband 02.28 in order to use it. It is possible to use it with the older baseband on firmware 02.27 but the DevTeam has exclusively restricted it to work with the newest baseband. So if you haven’t already, upgrade to firmware 2.2 with the 02.28 baseband! Did you unlock your iPhone 3G? Post back your results here and let everyone know of the experience. From what I hear it should be a very simple automated process. You can download yellowsn0w from Cydia/Installer.

    Hello,
    I unlocked and jailbroke my iphone but when the phone finishes booting up it gives me a message saying “different sim detected please connect to itunes” and i can only use the phone in emergency mode where i can make and receive calls. I tried it using the a T-mobile sim. I cannot get into my apps or anything.
    Please someone if you can help me out

    SOOO WEIRD!

    DevTeam, first of all great job! Small (and crazy problem):

    - Moved to the UK from the US with blocked AT&T card.
    - My AT&T picked up all networks and data (roaming).
    - Unblocked it (worked great!) – using o2 PayNG sim
    - Went to the US – used AT&T card – worked great
    - Came back to the UK – still AT&T card – worked great but all of a sudden no service
    - Tried o2 card – no service
    - THE KICKER – tried TMN sim card (roaming portuguese card) – picked up T-mobile and data with no issues!
    - Moved back to the o2 and AT&T – nothing.

    Trying to solve the problem:
    - Removed 0.9.5
    - My AT&T started picking up edge (roaming – no idea which provider) but no service
    - Installed 0.9.6

    Here is how i stand:
    - AT&T card – No service, but i get edge (not sure which provider)
    - TMN card – perfect T-mobile service, edge and 3g (roaaming everything)
    - o2 card (WHAT I REALLY NEED) – nothing… absolutely nothing…

    Ideas???

    I just moved from US to Hungary, I was able to cancel at&t contract and I now I have a iphone with no service. What is the best way to set up the iphone to work with a new provider?
    Thank you for your help

    jailbreak is different from unlock. to use your iphone to other network u must have it unlocked. to download using other programs aside from itunes have it jailbroken.
