3.1.3 should be unlockable and jailbreakable using the latest redSn0w.

This could be a software issue.
But if you have a valid AT&T SIM, can you try n check with it

Did you try to repeat the Unlock process from the start. For the 2G you can upgrade to 3.1.3 and the unlock it.

For the 3G you can upgrade to iOS4.0 and then unlock using Pwnage (for Mac).

OK so I have a 2g and a 3g – both unlocked/jailbroke with redsn0w, both are working 90% – I say 90 since I can’t send or receive calls – just pops up with “No service” no matter what – SIM is fine – would this be one of those times where maybe the unlock went stupid for some reason and it’s not communicating with the baseband? Have 4. something on the 2g and 5.11.07 on the 3g.. Any ideas??! THanks!!

This usually means the Unlock didn’t happen properly and it’s asking to activate using iTunes.

Sounds like a hardware defect. I would recommend taking it to a repair shop.

Hi, first I want to thank the Dev-Team for their great job !! I live in Japan and use the Softbank carrier. My I-Phone is the 32GS with 3.1.2 and unlocked and jailbroken with Blackrain and Blacksnow (Windows). Problem is, for the 3rd time in a few months, my phone suddenly stops working. It suddenly freezes and if you restart it then the only thing you see is the white apple mark with the phone that for hours tries to restart itself (and it won’t). Until now I had no problem, I just restored it and then I just had to jailbreak and unlock it again….If I try to RESTORE it now I have only 2 choices from I-Tunes : (1) restore and UPDATE (which automatically updates to 3.1.3 doh) or (2) cancel (which of course means you keep your broken I-Phone) Can somebody give me a good advise on what to do please ?? I’m quite desperate…

I am not sure if its gonna work but there was a tool called Ziphone which had a button to put the phone in DFU mode. You can try that.

But note that once it goes to DFU mode, I believe you cannot come out of it unless you restore successfully.

I would still suggest to take it to a repair shop. If you are in Delhi, you can take it to a shop in Noida – http://woikr.com/news/get-your-iphone-repaired-in-noida/

Hey Setu,

I tried but i am afraid i am unable to get the yellow triangle.. Is there another way of getting the same? My phone keeps rebooting only.. That is all it does…

i tried this method also
1.turn off by holding down the POWER (top right button and slide the red slider across
2.hold the iphone (as if it were flat on a table) and keep your thumb on the HOME button and carefully slide it into your USB dock(thing you connect your iphone to your computer with).
3. keep holding it down even when it is inside the dock and the yellow triangle will appear.

All this did was bring me again to ‘itunes and USB cable’ mode..

I understand that i need to do a complete restore but is there any other way of getting it to a mode where it would do a complete restore..

It looks like the OS is unable to find the baseband which is used for all the communication modules.

Try the above steps. Basically, you should do a full restore which formats the phone and reinstalls the OS from scratch.

If it doesn’t work, I would recommend taking it to a repair shop.
