  • Hi

    Glad to hear you managed to unlock your iphone 3gs! I plan on buying a 3gs soon and will try to unlock it. Couple of questions:

    1) Is the unlocking method you used similar to this?

    2) After unlocking, does EVERYTHING work as before on the phone? (ie apps, camera, gps etc)

    Thanks mate :)

    Yes everything will work just as before jailbreaking & unlocking your iphone just remember not to update in itunes until you've checked that the new version can be jailbroken again. ( next update should be 3.1.0 )

  • Download an app called Appsync via Cydia. Should solve you problem :money:

    Not actually true. You can update to 3.0.1 in itunes but when jailbreaking point redsn0w to an old 3.0 file which can be found in the same place as redsn0w:money:
