Hacker Sbingner just created an app for Cydia with a new way to activate your iPhone that solves 2 of the 3 problems of the last release with Ultrasn0w and baseband 6.15 the problem of Push notifications and the problem of excessive battery consumption.
This hack Tricks iTunes and forces you to activate it legally even if you have ultrasn0w installed and don't use your phone's original carrier sim card.
The DevTeam has updated Redsn0w with a tool that "disables" the phone, you will have to use it after using SAM to remove the patch that redsn0w creates and that causes so much trouble.
TUTORIAL:
Download Redsn0w 0.9.6b6
Windows
Mac
1. Add the repo http://repo.bingner.com in Cydia.
2. Install "SAM" and "SAMPrefs"
3. Go to Settings> SAM and press "De-Activate iPhone"
4. Your phone will be deactivated, connect it to iTunes to activate it again
If it tells you invalid SIM, in Settings / Operator deselect automatic and select your operator.
5. Now you need to remove the Redsn0w hack, download Redsn0w 0.9.6b6
Launch Redsn0w, connect your iPhone and press the "Deactivate" option
(Option 2 is to install SAMPrefs, openssh and secure shell into your phone. Run "stockify" and this will remove the Redsn0w hack.
6. Restart your phone
(If you have an iPhone 3GS with a new bootrom and iOS 4.2.1 remember that you will need Redsn0w to restart)
Now your battery should last a lot longer and your push notifications will work perfectly.
when I install SAm it goes into safe mode, then it won't let me open in SAM settings afterwards
For those of us who installed a custom and did not do it with redsn0w, we can do the same
For those of you who installed a custom exactly the same
Hello, a question before doing this I have to take out the sim card that I use in my country, which would be in Guayaquil / Ecuador, carrier company to be able to do this?
Someone to remove my doubt !!!
Of course you should NOT take out your SIM card !!!
if not you could not activate it !!!!!!!!
when I de-activate iphone nothing happens
the itunes does not tell me anything, I removed the sim card from my company, now I set it and click on to activate the bar turns gray, I connect it to the itunes synchronize and nothing else happens to me, which is wrong in the process.
above I have this data in sam / in settings /
ActivationState: FactoryActivated
SAMState: Loaded OK
What I do?
Tested and works, I provided it with the information from dev-team ..
FORNOOBS
If it's not a bother, you can help me, I don't get anything on itunes, if you can check my last comment, give me a hand with this, the battery is spent in an impressive way and the push doesn't come out!
I would greatly appreciate it!!
Ah also if you can explain the ssh, I use more and I have the cyberduck, I know how to enter my iphone but I do not understand the part they speak when you enter openssh
The DevTeam tutorial (the only thing I have done is translate it) says that you have to have it installed, but it does not say that it is used ...
=S
xavier
first of all you have to do the following.
1. Add the repo http://repo.bingner.com in Cydia.
2. Install “SAM” and “SAMPrefs”
3. Download redsn0w 0.9.6b6 ( https://sites.google.com/a/iphone-dev.com/files/home/redsn0w_win_0.9.6b6.zipattredirects=0&b=1 )
4. Run redsn0w and use the firm that your iphone is using
5. Enable the "Deactivate" option
6. Then continue with the options to continue
7. Once the iphone is restarted, it automatically enters settings
8. Find the sam option. check if in activation state it says: wildcard Activated
9. If not, run itunes to activate it, and if you have problems in sam, de-activate iphone and try itunes again.
Tested and working ... we can finally have a "normal" battery
I just read from the redmond pie page that also works for iphone 4 this procedure, I still have my iphone4 in version 4.1 with jailbreake and I don't want to upload it to 4.2.1 and be connecting it to rednow to restart it ... maybe a little more than Information about this unlock if it is shareable with iphone 4 thanks to the current iphone you always forward.
Rober, this is used to activate the phone, but if you have it in 4.1 you can't unlock it, so why do you want to activate it?
(I'm talking about iphone 4 only)
hello does this work for 4.1? if someone tried let me know
sorry it's an iphone 3gs
Dear
I have a 3GS 4.1 BB 6.15 - I downloaded the software via cidia, I ran it and nothing happened. Run redsn0w and select only Deactivate and follow the steps. The iPhone ran through several steps automatically and restarted. now in setttings - SAM says WildcardActivated.
I hope you learn
regards
Thanks Gnzl.
So to unlock the iphone 4 what I have to do, jailbreak it by downloading the ipsw from a version prior to 4.1?
Let's see Javier, to jailbreak you can do it to any version, 4.1 will be untethered, 4.2.1 will be tethered
Releasing is what you will not be able to in ANY of the two versions.
Hala Gnzl, I have done all the procedure, I have deactivated and reactivated with iTunes, I have a 3GS 32GB and the battery continues to consume very fast
We will see the battery thing according to the comments of the readers, my iPhone is "legal" and I can not confirm that it works
gnzl this is what I could read on redmonpie, it seems that those people are wrong about deblocking the iphone 4 in version 4.1 and 4.2.1.
Activate iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G Officially Without Original SIM or Hacktivation with Redsn0w 0.9.6b6 & SAM
By Taimur Assad | December 3rd, 2010
They are wrong from what I can read.
Rober7f is that it will work on iPhone 4 when there is release, but for now there is not.
.
marrulete, it is for iOS 4.2.1 and iOS 4.1
I don't know how the battery will go, but the push still doesn't work ...
Sorry to be a heavy Gnzl, but the push thing is not solved with this of the SAM, because I am following your instructions to the letter and they do not work. I have a friend with an iPhone by my side sending me WhatsApp and it doesn't work. If you know a more specific solution, I would appreciate it because having whatsapp or facebook without notifications is really good. Thanks a lot. And congratulations on your work on the web.
I have an iphone 4 that I have updated because the unlocking was not working for me.
I have no micro sim of the original operator. Doing the jailbreack of the current version, can I follow the steps you comment and unlock it?
Thank you very much
iPhone 4 on iOS 4.1 or 4.2.1 cannot be unlocked.
Gnzl, any solution to make the push work ??? This of the SAM does not solve it ... I have deactivated with redsnow and then activated with SAM and iTunes and all that process is fine, but I still do not receive push notifications from whatsapp and facebook x ex. Do you have to adjust something in particular to activate the push?
GRACIASS
jamskys, you have to restart, synchronize with iTunes, with the notifications activated, then deactivate them and reactivate them and enter an app that asks you for push notifications
Well it should work ...
Let's try something else:
You install push doctor
And you go back to doing the steps from before
If it doesn't work install push fix
And more of the same.
Alex:
try updating in cydia SAMprefs which has been updated in a few hours, surely you have the first version
Correction I have the same problem giving «De-Activate» and it still does not «do» anything ... any solution? or should I run Redsnow before?
FORNOOBS
Thank you again, I will do it as you are written in response, then I will let you know something new.
My next doubt is, I use the custom FW 4.2.1, the custom one is the one in use now on my iphone 3g or to do this or the FW restore 4.2.1
I see that in the steps the openssh has not been used
use normal firmware
openssh is not used, but if it says that it has to be installed then I also put it
gnzl
how's it going!!
so I use the FW restore 4.2.1 not the custom 4.2.1
Thank you
Yes, the normal one, not the custom one
Gnzl ps to me after putting DEACTIVATE in the RESN0W I get the black screen and nothing else happens! what do i do?
Gnzl I forgot I give it in "De-Activate iPhone" and it continues the same! nothing happens! What should happen when I put that on?
what should happen is that it will be deactivated, you have to pass it redsn0w to deactivate it
does this work for the 3gs too?
push notifications are not fixed with this fix, and well I also have the problem itunes does not recognize my sim to activate it after having pressed activate and restart anything .. anyone know something?
With the big problem that iTunes does not recognize the SIM, even so the automatic search of the operator is disabled
Anyway, the best method is to pass Reds0w to it without activating it and using an original SIM to activate it, right?
fran, it's the other way around, first you activate it and then you use redsn0w,
because redsn0w does it automatically if it is not activated, but if it is already activated it does not.
I am about to do it but I am reading that the battery continues to consume rapidly !!! Well I'll try and tell you how it went
I already had push doctor and push fix installed when I did the first thing. I'm really sorry to be heavy but it still doesn't work and the truth is that it is starting to be exasperating. If we could fix it through msn or by mail I would appreciate it to see if I am doing something wrong ... Greetings and thanks again.
jamkys, uninstall push doctor and push fix the first thing to see if it works for you.
if not once uninstalled repeat the whole process.
when I click on ACTIVATE of the SAM nothing happens, I have seen other tutorials and other steps come out! I do not understand how this works, someone has worked to say how he did it please !!!!!!!
Well, that meant, activate it with the original SIM, and then the Redsn0w without the activate option. I am that I have done it like this, and the battery seems that it does not discharge too fast, but the notifications do not work.
it's true xinaso we are all having that problem .. hopefully it will be solved soon
Obviously it is necessary to jailbreak before following these steps, but is it necessary to install Ultrasn0w before?
I understand that if I spent
a query if I jailbreak with limera1n will it continue to consume battery ?????
stays on black screen after using redsn0w
Apparently for now SAM works so that you have the option to activate again, only if you have the original SIM of the operator
After the process can sam be deleted?
ps if alex nothing happens, see if someone tells me if the limera1n will consume the battery enough like the redsn0w ???? I just installed the limera1n but I am in doubt! Thank you!
I never deactivate the iphone and the tutor continues, when I de-activate nothing happens
What I want to know if it is necessary to do it or not to solve the gps or leave it if it is working well ????? or some other problem will come later.
The GPS thing has no solution yet, nor have they said that there will be.
If I have an illegal 3g even in Fw 4.0, can I update it with apple FW, do the jailbreak with redsn0w and then use this method ???
yes alexon
Use the latest redsn0w ok? the one that comes out here.
Gnzl why don't you answer my questions? …… I give it the de-activate option and nothing happens, what should I do
Alex, I'm not answering you because I don't know the answer, I'm sorry.
.
Rogelio, if you don't have the battery problem, I would be quiet
If I have a new iPhone 3GS boot, in 4.1 and baseband 5.13, is it advisable to do it? I am interested in this activation method so that FaceIt3GS works for me, since it only works with non-hacktivados iphone. Thanks
I have a doubt, the battery problem is only limited to the hackification in firmware 4.2.1 with bb 6.15, or could the problem also appear in a firmware 4.1 with baseband 6.15?
Xinaso, the problem can occur on any iOS you put 6.15 on
Gnzl I hope you answer me, look since before I did not use redsn0w xq I raised the baseband now that it is already in 6.15 I can use redsn0w 0.9.6b2 ????? to jailbreak 4.1 ???? I think that with this redsn0w you don't have battery problems, right? or will it be the same ???? how bad my iphone is illegal, I hope you can clarify for me !!!!
Always use the latest version in everything, it is absurd to use an old redsn0w, use the last one, the activation method has been the same for 2 years!
What happens is that Apple has put two gifts in iOS 4.1 and 4.2.1 and therefore the battery problem.
My advice is that you update official, put an original sim that they lend you, then use the last redsn0w and problem fixed.
FORNOOBS
I did all the steps but in Activationstate: this comes out »FactoryActivated.
Itunes synchronized it and nothing happened, no wildcard Activated came out.
I did the redsn0w process, it did the normal jailbreaking, I turned it on and the iphone as always without incident, it would seem, I do not know if it would have worked out but I am going to disconnect it from the mac and see if the bat does not wear out quickly!
FORNOOBS
The truth is, I don't know what happened but something happened, now the battery does not drop every 10 seconds the percentage ... it is lasting better than before, maybe if I can get it to work, I will report any news I do not know about the push, that will have to populate it!
I consider that the use of wifi makes the bat unload faster but now it is yielding a little more!
thanks Gnzl, it hurts that my iphone is from Sweden and I don't know what operator it is !! I will have to get used to the loss of battery 🙁 I hope they get something improved from the SAM
Gnzl a query since you say that the activation method of REDSN0W is 2 years ago and it is the same if I use the old one, tell me, if I use sn0wbreeze for 4.1? Will it continue to consume a lot of battery ???? (I hope I'm not annoying I'm just giving alternatives) thanks
Snowbreeze also uses the same method, that's why SAM is supposed to be a revolution, but it seems that it will have to be improved ...
I do not recommend sn0wbreeze, in my opinion it is a botch, I usually like PwnageTool.
(as there has been none jailbreak)
Gnzl before you start watching the movie hehehehe I did the tutorial that you hung up: (how to jailbreak iOS 4.1 from Windows without uploading the baseband) and I did it at least 4 times and the happy battery always runs out I restore it Like a new iPhone as you said and nothing the only solution that I have found so that the battery does not run out and it lasts a little longer for me, deactivating the notifications my question is. Does this serve me? What firerware do I have to put the original or the custon that you did for the window ones, a greeting
jonassito, in theory if it should serve you, but as you see people are not doing as well as expected, if I were you I would expect a SAM update.
PS: you have to use the original firmware, not the custom one.
Thanks Gnzl I'll wait for a SAM update, hopefully it comes out soon and it works for everyone, thanks for always solving our doubts !!!!
how to install openssh and secure shell and what is “stockify? please help
Gnzl, I already laugh for not crying hahaha. Being the time that it is, I have activated and deactivated and tried all the possible combinations in the world to fix the push, but I think that SAM is not giving coba. Something occurs to you at this time of night ??
Anyway, the only thing that occurs to me is to see a movie and go to bed soon, that tomorrow I have to work ...
=)
no idea zzolder I was looking too but I threw in the towel and did not do it anymore! xq it does not work, at least to most of here NO!
According to the official website of the dev-team, the installation of openssh, secure shell and «stockify» are only ALTERNATIVE steps to the use of redsnow, for my part I have no reference to these programs except openssh; The idea in the end is that after these two alternative processes we can deactivate the hacktivation from SAM and "Unactivate" appears; The mess is when wanting to activate the aforementioned iPhone with iTunes since in many cases, and I include myself, this cannot be done (I did it using a custom firmware 4.2.1 on an iPhone 3G) so after not being able Synchronize with iTunes I had to restore it to 4.1 and then update it to official 4.2.1 (all this to avoid error 1015) because if they do it in this order you can exit the recovery mode with Tinyumbrella; well I don't dare put my hands in the fire for now. Hopefully they update the SAM and SAMPrefs so that it works in all "cases".
P.S. Well I write at this time because here in Peru it is still 22:30 p.m.
Ah, a question, someone in Lima-Peru who has a SIM Card from Claro or Movistar from Argentina to activate my iPhone which is model MB496LE, or someone in Argentina who can send me both SIM cards.
I can also send SIM Cards from here to Peru to other countries, which we created a small help network.
@xavier VIteri could you describe step by step what you did to get the SAM
Does it work to unlock the iphone 4 or how to unlock the same as the 3g? help…
FORNOOBS 12:43 am Ecuador time, I finally got the "SAM" and I got wildcard Activated
I can recognize itunes, now I have to test the battery life and the Push!
I thank you infinitely for the step by step that you wrote to me here!
I also thank you actualidadIphone for your good contributions!
Let's see how everything goes from now on!
Good luck and greetings to all!
I tried many times on my pc which I have windows 7, without any result …… .then I decided to do it on my laptop which has xp and it gave me the first time now you have to see the results of the battery …… I recommend them to they did not give them to do it in another computer
I did the whole process like 4 times and Itunes does not activate the SIM with the operator that I select
I leave you this tutorial for what you have not yet managed to do
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKQgvbOda3s with this if it works
But to do this, I need the firmware of the iphone, no, I have it in version 4.1 baseband 5.14.02, it will work for me, I already have sam installed on the phone, help me how I do it
SAM update is out with more options .. This one works for battery drain. Follow the process as described. I do not know why in the process iTunes can be blocked and it does not allow to enter DFU mode, it is time to restart the system and everything is ok. Tested on Windows 7 64-bit, Illegal iPhone 3G, iOS 4.1 and bb 6.15
it's already published
Well, I installed sam and when I gave sampref to deactivate nothing happens, the phone is still activated
manuel after installing SAM you have to deactivate with redsn0w ……
thanks pedro and then what if i use the correct sam
I have a 3g with 4.1 baseband 05.13.04 and if it consumes the battery it works for me thanks
Manuel if you have the baseband 5.13 leave it there and do not upload your baseband with that baseband it has no battery consumption problems, but if you update it to 6.15 the consumption is bestial there if you need the SAM, another thing, stay in 4.1 since 4.2.1 is disgusting, I tried it on a 3g and the truth I left it on 4.1, BEWARE if you update your baseband the GPS will no longer work for you !! They are PRO and CONS that the method has, but as I told you this tutorial is only for illegal iPhones that have updated their baseband to 5.14 or 5.15 ok? so yours is fine….
Thanks Pedro, I appreciate the clarification. Mine is illegal but I'll take your advice, okay
Manuel, you are welcome, do you advise anything here on the page there is a post with a video that I made about SAM for those of you who are interested, you know, I post it GNZL or if you do not look at you tube with SAM TUTORIAL …… .. luck !!!! !
Hello
Jailbreak my iphone 4 with ios 4.2.1
and every press of the volume buttons runs the iphone in SAFE MODE
and also when receiving an SMS, someone has a solution
Hello everyone! Only one problem is that when I do the 4th step, iTunes does not recognize the sim and even changing the operator from automatic to mine, it still does not recognize the sim. Any solution???? Thanks in advance.
ufff Big problem Pedro…. My iphone is from Sweden and I don't know the operator….: There is no other solution, right?
IsMa you have to select the company or the original sim or operator of the iphone, to say my iphone left movistar and I put an orange chip already released, in the SAM I have to look for the country and the operator, I look for SPAIN, and MOVISTAR operator, and in the serial number I select the first or only one and voila, maybe you are putting another operator that is not the original one !!!!
Hello
Jailbreak my iphone 4 with ios 4.2.1
and every press of the volume buttons runs the iphone in SAFE MODE
and also when receiving an SMS, someone has a solution
???????????? = (
Isma with whom you currently have it, with which operator did you buy the sim card
Manuel the mobile I found it. my sim card is movistar but it is not the original of the mobile.
but what class is 3g, 3gs, or 4
IsMa mine is also from Sweden and I did not know the operator so I selected the first one, and in the code also the first one and I link myself in ONE test one x one, at least you know the country, it is already less complicated! !
Manuel is a 3g and Pedro had already tried it but apparently none of it works ... maybe I'm the 3rd owner he has ... haha bad business ... Thanks anyway.
Thanks Gnzl! I will update to 4.2.1 and see if I am lucky and my battery does not melt in 4 hours ... haha
But is SAM not working for you?
can't get an official sim?
Hello Gnzl! I have a question that I see that no one has raised here and that is that in my case I have the shsh saved from 4.0 to 4.1. I did the tutorial of uploading to 4.1 without uploading bb. (I stayed with 05.13 ..) and everything was perfect until I downloaded the Viber app for free calls and every time I turned it on my iphone 3g would restart, and I decided to give it the ipad bb and in the end the remedy was worse than the disease. Therefore my question is if when downgrading to 4.0.1 the bb will also be lowered to 05.13 that I had before and will the battery problem be solved ???? Thanks a lot
No Isma, the baseband cannot be downloaded, they are working on it and I hope they succeed, because installing the iPad baseband seems like a bad idea to me ...
You can install the firmware you want even if you don't have shsh saved (on an iPhone 3G, on 3GS and 4 not)
what happens is that you have to do it with a custom firmware, otherwise it will fail to restore.
.
PS: the problem of the battery is with hacktivados iPhone, no matter what baseband you have, it always happens unless you activate it with the original sim.
IsMa in any case buying those SIM AGENDAS are used to activate the iphone when you do not have the original, I do not know the real name but they say CHIP AGENDAS, I had one for a while but I lost it, and let me tell you that it works! at least to me yes)
SAM's problem is that I don't know what company my cell phone is because they left it at my work and I know it was from a Swede and I wasn't stuck in the iphone sling and a friend jailbroken it and doesn't remember the company that was the card and threw it. But hey and updated to 4.2.1 and the battery problem has been solved (at the moment it seems that way) and the viber application when I open it no longer restarts ... you know why it restarted? It seems now everything is in order ... I will cross my fingers to keep it that way. Thank you anyway.
I managed to perform the procedure at the end, since I had to do it several times (click to deactivate, and then reconnect it to itune to activate it), then it was activated and in the same SAM it says that the card is activated . But the problem is that it still heats up and downloads fast, the only option is to disable it in 3G and EDGE

I live is Dominican Republic and here the Centenial company was bought by another called Viva or Dominican Trilogy, the thing is that I choose centenial and nothing, I choose all the companies to see and nothing, what else can be done if I tried it with a clear chip and it works at once, beware that my chip is alive.
Does it serve with a 2G ?? urges me to have HeyWire uu
Or you can donate your iPhone certificates to me to have PUSH.
Graxx: //
Could you post how to install Sam and Samprefs. I want to do these steps because the battery lasts very little. I am from Argentina and I am for the Personal company. Thanks
For those who have problems like me with the push and who find incomplete posts and tutorials, I am going to give you my solution, it worked for me after spending a week with this.
eye read to the end before starting because possibly they do not need to restore completely (I never tried), someone who tries to start from point 3 and not do point 7 or doing it and if it works for him to post it for others
1. restore iphone ios 4.3.3 with itunes latest version
2. jailbreak redsnow with version 0.9.9b6 by clicking the install button cydia
3. install the repo http://repo.bingner.com
4. install SAM, the phone will reboot.
5. enter SAM from settings and go to utilities
6. Click on de-activate iphone (clear push) and then on revert lockdownd stock and turn off the phone.
7. MAKE JAILBREAK AGAIN WITH REDSNOW VERSION 0.9.9b6 but this time deselect the option to install cydia and select the option deactivated, note that these options do not appear at the beginning of the process as in previous versions but in the middle of the process.
8. In some cases it will work by connecting the phone to the computer here and opening the itunes, if not and they get the message (on itunes) that the sim is not compatible, they should start to rehearse by changing the method in SAM and entering the Values where the phone is originally supposed to be, take into account that in the network there are many tutorials about this (many incomplete) also there are lists that say according to the phone model where it is from but they do not always work, I say it because one of the Lists said that my phone was from Mexico but it worked for me with the Colombian movistar network, the safest but very long time is to test each one by filling in all the data such as country, carrier, SIM ID. Keep in mind that every time you make a change you must disconnect and reconnect the phone to the computer for the iTunes to recharge ……. (patience)
9. If they finally found the correct original operator, iTunes will recognize the phone and start the restore configuration, I decided to start from scratch with my phone.
10. go to settings - SAM - and enter the more information tab, there the wildcardactivated message should appear
11. return to the main menu of SAM and enter utilities.
12.click backup activation
13.click de-activate iPhone
14. click restore activation
The phone will automatically respring and that's it, verify with ipusher
if it doesn't work the first time, repeat steps 11-14
