◆ Release of SIM lock

Since jailbreak, release of SIM lock, tethering, etc. are not the usage recommended by SoftBank, au, Apple, there is a possibility that support may not be accepted when a problem occurs, and communication fee is added for tethering I can not deny the possibility of being charged. In addition, the results reviewed in this article may have different results depending on the OS, firmware, type of terminal, etc. In addition, there is a risk that the terminal will not operate normally even under the same conditions, , In actual useImplementation at your own risk and responsibility after recognizing various dangersplease.

In order to replace the SIM card and use it requires a SIM lock free terminal, you need to purchase a terminal that was originally unlocked from abroad or have a SIM lock free terminal such as docomo.

Since there was no SIM lock free terminal at hand this time, try using an application that cancels SIM lock after doing "Jailbreak" to make use of "iPhone 3G" other than apps approved by Apple I decided to decide.

"IPhone 3G" is relatively unlocked because the OS update is stopped. Although it is not actually confirmed actually, it seems that you can do a jailbreak regardless of the firmware (baseband) version if it is the following method.


First of allHackint0sh.org"IPhone 1, 2 _ 4.2. 1 _ 8 C 148 _ Recestore.ips w" from the site. Even if you search for file names directly with Google etc. and find them, there should be no problem.


Next, go to the developer's blog of "redsn0w", select the file compatible with your OS from "Official Bittorrent Releases", download it, use the Bittorrent client to obtain the body file. You can also obtain it from the site where you search by file name and place the mirror for downloading.


Since the downloaded file is compressed in zip format, "ExplzhLet's unpack it with etc.


After that connect the PC with the iPhone powered off and click "exe" file in the unzipped folder "redsn0w" will start up automatically.


Click "Browse".


Please select "iPhone 1, 2 _ 4.2. 1 _ 8 C 148 _ Recestore. Ips w" that you downloaded earlier and click "Open".

Check "install iPad baseband", select "Yes" on the pop-up window and click "Next".



Next if you click "Next" OK.


"Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds" is displayed, so you can operate the iPhone as it is.


As the display changes automatically, it says "Keep pressing the home button for 6 seconds without releasing the power button", so operate this as well.


Finally, "Push the power button and press the home button for 14 seconds" is displayed, so I will do so. Since you have to operate at a good tempo, you may be confused at the beginning, but you can do it over and over again so you should be fine if you calm down.


If the above operation succeeds, white characters are displayed on iPhone screen.


Finally the mysterious pineapple is displayed, so I wait for a while.


The character "Done!" Comes out and the jailbreak is completed. Please click "Finish" to close the software.


◆ Setting

Just doing a jailbroken does not unlock until SIM lock, so continue using "ultrasn0w" to unlock the work.

First from the removal of the SIM card. Prepare a dedicated pin ... ....


Push the hole in the outlet.


Pull out the card with each slot OK. Please note that it is necessary to connect to the wireless LAN separately from 3G for the following work, so please set up in advance.


If you successfully jailbroken using "redsn0w", you can tap and launch the application called "Cydia" on the home screen.


When it is started for the first time, the following display will appear, so select "Developer".

Although you should be able to make calls and communications at this point, if you do not have a good connection, you can enter "* 127 * 31 #" in the same procedure as when changing languages.

Please note that once you have unplugged the SIM card, you will need to redo the setting. In that case, please keep in mind that as long as you stop doing the daily pass with "# 127 * 31 #" and then do not restart with "* 127 * 31 #", you will not connect and keep worrying. Even if you try to start the daily pass with "* 127 * 31 #" from the beginning after removing SIM,Stop at "# 127 * 31 #" once and resume at "* 127 * 31 #"Please remember the point firmly.
