Should I...

[TarekElsakka]

update my baseband to the latest one using iTunes then jailbreak and unlock using blackra1n (or blacksn0w, w.e)? And I have a lot of applications, some of them were already on the phone by the previous owner and I don't want to lose them, so is there a way to copy the IPAs by SSHing into the phone or some sort so I wouldn't lose them and then install them later on?

Thank you very much.

EDIT: I just tried updating through iTunes and it said I have the latest firmware. But I only want to update so I can get the newer baseband, plus I'm feeling my iPhone is getting a bit slower than it was when I first updated so.. what should I do?

I use MobinilEgy's sim card, that's my network provider. I also have Etisalat and Vodafone lines that are my sisters'. I unlock so I can use my sim card, there is no AT&T here. lol

[TarekElsakka]

Haha, alright thanks. By the way, I just ping'd you, did you receive it?

[TarekElsakka]

Nope. I don't know what's up with that. I never get replies but sometimes, in all of a sudden, I receive ALL of them at once and then they stop coming. Weird.

[TarekElsakka]

If you mind, that would be great, thanks. I used to have the "Connecting. Please Wait" message all the time and it never went away, but then some one here linked me to a fix (forgot who, sorry) and I was able to use it but only send and not receive. Then sometimes, in all of a sudden, I receive all the replies at once but that's like once every two weeks or something. This is weird.

Oh my God... come on!!! Now it say:

"No Sim Card installed.. Insert a valid SIM with no PIN lock to activate the iPhone".. now where am I going to get an AT&T sim card?????

[TarekElsakka]

I turned the phone off then on but it's still at the same screen. I think my Dad still has an AT&T card from last November when we were in new york.. he bought it to use it there but not with an iPhone, just a separate line. Do you think it'd work for activation?

[TarekElsakka]

This iPhone is locked to AT&T.. but I don't have an AT&T sim card. I only have a MobinilEgy one, which isn't valid for activation, of course. So now I am stuck with a dead iPhone. I am really pissed off now since I don't have any alternatives to use until I get this sorted out >_>.

Never mind, I fixed it. All jailbroken and unlocked now, yay! Thanks juls <3.
