Step Fifteen
You should now be able to insert the SIM of your choice!
***HINTS: It
seems that getting your iPhone to pick up your new carrier can be
helped by turning off 3G and perhaps toggling the Airplane Mode switch
on and off. If you are still having problems try removing and
reinserting the SIM or booting with the new SIM already inside.
***NOTE: There
is a known issue with SIM cards that have STK (SIM Toolkit) application
menus. These menus are usually items such as “top up” “get credit”
“lotto numbers” etc. These menu items confuse the application sometimes.
Removing and reinserting the SIM once after reboot (give it about 10
secs after you see the slide to unlock widget) fixes this issue. The
Dev-Team is working on a better fix.
***THANKS: A big thank you to all the members of the iPhone Dev-Team for all their hard work! It is much appreciated by all.
***UPDATES: The Dev-Team has made the following updates...
1.
Soon you’ll see yellowsn0w 0.9.1 in the repos. It uses a much longer
delay to let your SIM card initialize. If you have problems with 0.9.0,
try this one and wait a full minute after you see homescreen, then
reinsert sim card. We need both success and failure reports to tune this
across the world, so please be patient (but please also report result!)
2. If you are in
the U.S. and are trying this with T-Mobile, you must turn off the 3G
switch in Settings. Also if you are good with the command line, you can
make it much easier by adding the line -q right after the
/usr/bin/yellowsn0w line in
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.iphone-dev.yellowsn0w.plist (that’s
and advanced tip, hopefully someone will make a boosprefs type of tool
for it)
3. No PIN support yet. Remember
how we said this was beta? Well we’re still working out the flow for
SIMs with PINs enabled. Please disable any PIN you may have on that SIM
before trying yellowsn0w, for now..
