  • can you make a video on how to fix : if you can't press the space bar when you text please

  • thanks bro you are great you helped me a lot

  • when i deactivate, it says "the sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported", what do i do?

  • @mlain69 have u installed ultras0w

  • @mlain69 ***If iTunes says invalid SIM, you will need to manually select the appropriate carrier (from where your purchased the iPhone) under one of the methods besides “Automatic” and click on a SIMID.

    ***If you installed SAM and manually set your carrier but it is not working, please be sure you clicked on the SIM ID-even if there is only one.

    Good Luck =D

  • doesnt work after de activate my phone dosent recognize even i choose other method too ..

  • Ответить на это видео... 

  • redsn0w link is dead any suggestions?

  • Comment removed

  • Works fine, Thx Dude ;)

  • Hi, just to get this clear with redsnow: You need 0.6.9b5 to unlock to a 4.2.1, once unlocked you need to upgrade to another redsnow- 0.6.9b6, when doing this battery dranage thing?

  • Thaanks from Brazil!! it really helped

  • @EverythingApplePro By the way, I have an iPhone 3GS running on iOS 5. Does SAM just not work yet for iOS 5? And one last thing, should my iPhone notify me with an "Activated" message? Sorry for all the questions and thanks for your help.

  • @EverythingApplePro Hi. I'm sorry, but this didn't seem to fix the annoying battery drain for me. I'm outside the US, should I use an US AT&T SIM (with no service) or my country's official SIM? And with my Push Notif. working fine, will it bug my phone if I install PushDoctor?

  • Worked for me!! Thanx man!

  • by the way i have iPhone 3G 4.1 6.15.00

  • dude, how can i do this? i don't have wifi access, my wifi was greyed out, when i update my baseband to 6.15.00, can you please teach me or give me alternative method to to this? thanks in advance

  • @frankworks haha your screwed. i best guess try restoring.

  • Should the sim-card be input while doing this process?

  • worked exactly as described, I needed to follow the additional RAMdisk jam up but that worked as described perfectly also. Good tuts!

  • I see that you have "No Service" at the top of your screen. I have the same problem! Is it a software or hardware problem? Help me please? :)

  • does this really help the battery?

  • can i do this to ios 4.3.3?

  • @DannyKenzo7 nope, since 4.3.3 doesn't have an untethered jailbreak as of now

  • dont know if its the new version of sam or what but itunes said it was activated and everything but the battery drain is still there

  • Hey man! great vdeo, but it didnt work for me ... theres a new version of SAM... with new settings... maybe can you make a new turorial with that one?? it would be very helpful! .. ohh! i also tryed with DR PUSH..but nothing... my bat would fly away in a few hoors =( ,,,, by the way... im using fimware 4.2.1 .. baseband 06.15.00 .. iphone 3g!

  • @diemapo i forgot!!!

    i did my jailbreak with redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc12 not using ultrasn0w

  • @diemapo yeah didnt work for me either

  • @diemapo i jus installed now..it had worked well so far..cant say if it has solved the battery issue as option to battery percentage has disappeared. As for the issue with new SAM if you jus go2 the settings>SAM>Utilities>De-acti­vate Iphone.

  • @SRanilicious u sure? it didnt work form me the drain issue is there... my iphone stays in just for a few hours.. =( its ridiculus!! ...i did settings>SAM>Utilities>De-acti­­vate Iphone thing...but it didnt work..itunes said it was already activated =(

  • @diemapo yeah im sure..battery life is so much better than what it was before..i later installed push doctor and MobileNotifier too.

  • If you deactivate it, wouldn't it show a "Connect to iTunes" screen, so how would you go to SAM on your settings.

  • iphone 4 does have this problem :(

  • I used an AT&T SIM to activate my phone so I won't need to do this at all, correct??

  • Ok I'm done I'm happy. Now can I remove or stop or disable SAM?

  • if for some reason i need to jailbreak it will i have to redo these steps again ????

  • question when i deactivate from redsnow why does it still show my carrier ?? and yours saids no service ?

  • thanks alot bro. u the man right now. thank you!!!!11

  • when i redo the jailbreak will everything i have on my iPhone be removed including the background from the jailbreak or will it remain??? please i need to know asap

  • well done friend!!!! thanks alot!!!!

  • hey mate i ve got i phone4 on 4.3.1 but i cant active it please help ASAP

  • dude it says it wont let me cause im hacktivated?

    Help?

  • I have a question would this Trick still work even if i have 4.1 custom firmware ?? or does it have to be a original 4.1 ?? Help ?

  • okay for you guys who downloaded the new sam heres where you deactivatie it:

    go to settings then scroll down to SAM then tap the "Utilites" tab then de-Activate iPhone

  • and what if my home button is not working which is why i jailbroke in the first place?

  • how do i upgrade my iphone to 6.15 if its only 5.15??

  • He can anyone confirm, am I correct in saying: Anyone who selected the battery percentage Tab on their 1st jailbreak will need to select it again along with the deactivate tab? If you don't the battery percentage will be removed?

    Thanks,

  • For anyone concerned about how to do this with the new version of SAM, the settings are pretty much already set for you. if the "Enabled" switch is on, and the Method is set to "auto-detect", then open up iTunes, and plug in the phone. It will automatically activate your iPhone. After activation, I just turned off the "Enabled" switch in SAM. You could probably uninstall SAM if you want, but don't bother, just turn it off, and you'll still have it if you ever need it again.

  • When it goes to restart, it is stuck on the Apple startup screen. It never moves beyond that to actually startup. Am I supposed to still restart it with tethering it?

  • DERP! i love you i works!

  • yeah i have a different version of SAM and it doesn't have deactivate.

  • I did this as well, and on my itunes screen it said 'congratulations your iphone is now unlocked' does this actually mean i can now update legaly trough itunes and after that its still unlocked ?

  • Keeping your phone charged is another solution!

  • if i have a legitimatly activated iphone (using att sim card with iphone plan) and have updated to the 6.15.00 baseband and unlocked using ultrasn0w (im giving it to a friend with tmobile) do i need to do this?

  • GREAT HELP! I have used your videos for everything... Thanks for all the head ache solving

  • could i just use the at&t sim card that I unlocked my phone with first and then replace it with my regular phone planned sim card from Fido? And if so, when do I put the at&t one in?

  • @mikeman6505 i dont think you need to watch this video if you already have an at&t sim card.. i have one too. you put it in after you unlock it with ultrasnow. then youre good to go

  • @mikeman6505 i mean reboot after you unlock...and then you put in your at&t simcard.
