Activate iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G Without Original SIM [ Complete How To Video]

Infamous iPhone hacker Sherif Hashem has successfully activated iPhone 4, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS without the original SIM card to which the SIM is locked and has posted a new video. For iPhone 4, you need to cut the SIM to a microSIM size. It is important to note that it doesn’t unlock the iPhone, but it just activates it. This means that you can get past one of the biggest pains you first get an iPhone: Hacktivating it; otherwise you’re stuck on the emergency screen until you do so. You need to jailbreak your iPhone first using spirit userland jailbreak and then unlock it with ultrasn0w. Sherif is the same person who found the exploit to unlock 05.12.01, 05.13.04 baseband running iOS 4. Check out the video after the break!

The video clearly shows an iPhone does not have any original SIM installed which he is trying to activate. Initially, Sherif tries to install Vodafone SIM, but being locked to AT&T carrier only, he gets a probable message that the SIM is not supported. Just check out the complete video on how he activates iPhone without original SIM tied to AT&T.

Instead of telling everyone who hasn’t got the original SIM that activation of the iphone is easy using a phonebook SIM card, I made this video to show u all how it works, Use any phonebook SIM card, they are there in radioshak, mobile phone shops or any mobile tech moles , any phone book SIM card will do the trick, no need for programmable SIMs, all those phonebook SIMs used to save your contacts and transfer them have a universal ICCIDs preprogrammed so they all work

The Pawnage Tool 4.1.3 Unlock saved my butt today. My wife and I have two Japanese 3G iPhones from our time there, and I had unlocked and jailbroken them using Cydia, Ultrasn0w and Jailbreakme.com just before returning to Australia. I originally upgraded the iOS for both phones to 4.0 but ended up downgrading my phone to iOS3.13 as I found it too slow. My wife kept her phone running on iOS4.0.
So, anyway I offered yesterday to downgrade my wife’s phone to iOS3.13 as she hated the fact that it was so slow. She was a bit hesitant and concerned that changing it would stuff up the phone but I said it would be fine. Boy, was I wrong!
That night, I tried to restore the phone using iOS3.13 file and rec-boot program but ran into problems as iTunes kept asking for the original japanese SIM card to activate the phone, which I didn’t have anymore. Faced with the knowledge that I had turned my wife’s beloved iPhone into a shiny new iBrick, I did some more researching until 2am and came across an earlier version of Pawnage Tool (v3.5), and finally got it up and running, jailbroken on iOS3.13. However my problems didn’t end there as Ultrasn0w wasn’t able to unlock it as the phone’s baseband was now 05.15.04 which couldn’t be unlocked. So now I had an expensive iPod Touch, which was better than an iBrick, but I wasn’t satisfied with that outcome. Some more researching this morning allowed me to find The Pawnage Tool 4.1.3 Unlock . I downloaded iOS4.2.1 and iPad 3.2.2 files and got through the installation process fine. I then downloaded Ultrasn0w v1.2 and rebooted the phone. VIOLA!! An unlocked, fully working iphone, and a happy wife!

The phonebook sim no longer works. Apple have got around the loophole, so anyone who buys the sim now, will be unlucky. I know, because I’m one of the unlucky ones. I guess I will just have to get an Apple approved network sim.

I’d just watched the video. I live in Brazil and we dont have this kind of sim that you used. So I used and old AT&T sim (which doesnt work anymore) and cut a little piece (the same size of the this used sim in your video). Worked perfectly. Conclusion: any cutted sin, at the right size would work.
