Unlock Your iphone 3GS 4.0 Firmware

I don’t usually put up tech posts but this one really seemed to warrant my attention.

Firstly let me say that I will never go ahead and just do an “upgrade” on my iphone without researching it completely first. I , like so many other people , went ahead and did the upgrade which then screwed my iphone up an it also wiped off some software that I had on there, that I had purchased.

I am an Mac user and I love a lot of what Apple does, but what I don’t like about them is their “Big Brother” attitude about what I can and cannot use out in the digital world. I BOUGHT the phone from them, I am not renting or leasing it from them , if I drop it in the sewer , it’s gone , my problem … so who is Apple to come through and wipe off software I purchased off my phone and try to prevent me from using it again?

The only thing I really wanted to use was an application that allowed me to connect to the internet with my computer using the data connection from my iphone. I do this about once a week  and in order for me to do this AT&T wants another $40 a month – ( I already pay them $125 a month) and I lose my data plan where it makes it much easier to go over in data minutes – and if I do that, then I have to pay more.

Do not be fooled anything that comes from SWGREG seems to be a scam. I have tried 3 time to get my iphone “jailbroken” and all three of these entities are SCAMS …

www.unlockiphoneus.com and they brag on their site about their customer service which I have yet to hear back from .

www.unlocktheiphone.com still nothing , they went to a lot of trouble to make a really glitzy site that looks legit , but it’s a scam.

www.easy-iphone-unlocking.com at tleast these people responded to an email I sent them , but that was before I gave them money , now nothing. What they do, is tell you about things that you can find on the internet for free , . For $34.95 they will tell you there is still no jailbreak available for the iPhone 3gs running 4.0 firmware.

So far I have tried…

pawnage tool
redsn0w
blackrain
and a few other to no avail.

I can’t tell you how much time, including today , I have wasted on this stupid project so I can use the internet 4 times a month using my iphone, but if you find anything out please let me know. You can leave a comment here of you like or email me at euxart@aol.com

I hope that This post can save somebody some of the aggravation I have been through with this.
