Re: Apple iPhone 3GS 16GB Black

If you've got a newer revision iPhone with the new iBoot and 3.1.3 then you're pretty much guaranteed that it isnt unlockable.

The unlock for it is expected sometime later when OS 4.0 comes out.

So do confirm before you sell. It'll save you and the buyer a lot of trouble.

Oops.. Sorry about that. At the back of the phone, following is printed, now I don't know which one of these is the serial number:

iPhone
16GB
Model No. A1303
FCC ID: BCGA1303B
IC ID: 579C-A1303B
FC CE 0682

Thanks
 
Re: Apple iPhone 3GS 16GB Black

Some questions:

1. Why no headphones or SIM eject tool?

2. Do you still have the original box/ packing?

3. What OS version is it?
 
Re: Apple iPhone 3GS 16GB Black

I think he has latest firmware which in can't be unlocked (at leaast now). I met a guy in karol bagh's gaffar market he too selling his phone at around 23k and the problem was with his phone that he mistakenly upgraded to latest firmware which now can't be unlocked.

And the basis of your such thinking is ...... ??
Guys, I've already made everything clear in the OP. I don't know much about iphones and so cannot provide any more info. than that I already have. I don't know what more to say .....
 
Re: Apple iPhone 3GS 16GB Black

Serial Number is provided on the back of the box and not on the phone. kindly tell us that so that we can confirm if this can be unlocked.
 
Re: Apple iPhone 3GS 16GB Black

Well you know he has a point,plain and simple if your phone is on the latest firmware 3.1.3 the baseband cannot be unlocked at the moment,until the next firmware upgrade happens and they release an unlock exploit.you need to check which firmware version you phone has 3.1.2 or 3.1.3

All that the serial number tells you is that the phone was manufactured before 3.1.3 came out. How do you know it's not been updated to 3.1.3 since and factory reset etc.?
 
Re: Apple iPhone 3GS 16GB Black

^^AFAIK, 3.1.3 can be jailbroken/unlocked using the latest version of Sn0w-breeze!

Yeah folks, can someone help ?

I called my cousin and he told me he never did any change to the phone. It is as he got it when bought New in October.

Someone came to check it out on Tuesday and offered me a bit less than the price I'm expecting. I'm seriously thinking of returning it to my cousin's brother (for whom it was bought) and let him do whatever he wants to do with it.
