Hey John, I tried jailbreaking my iPhone 3GS (32GB) using Blackra1n unfortunately it's not working on my Tiger 10.4.11 so I resorted using Pwnage. The Jailbreak is a breeze but my phone can't detect my Network?

Any suggestion on I can go around to finally have my iPhone 3GS jailbroken?
For info; my 32 GB iPhone 3GS is officially unlocked having bought it through Apple Store Online in Hongkong therefore I can use any SIM Card.

Thanks your input is greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Aaah. I sort of thought it may have been a foreign one.

When you updated your phone, you've updated the baseband. Therefore you cannot unlock the phone, you currently have an unlockable phone. Given time, you may be able to unlock it again, you/we have to wait for the dev's to find an exploit. Until this time, your phone will not work on British carrier.

Not sure how it would work with a UK SIM card and all, but I had some luck unlocking my (US) 2G iPhone yesterday, even though it had been upgraded to the latest firmware and baseband.

Here's what I did:

Only difference is that I used redsn0w version 0.8 and I also had an old AT&T SIM.

Maybe this will work for ya?

other wise nothing can be done so im told

http://unlock-the-iphone.com/?utm_so...FVVu4wodgHflNA
and maybe use this or one of the many other programs that are on offer

apple did not want to know anything about this nor would they give any advice shame .
so ill have to wait for said sim card then move from there

Of course it will work, a brand spanking new unlock has come out. This is what you needed to happen.

Glad you finally got it sorted
