    Hey … I’m not sure if you can help but any help will do. My uncle gave me his iPhone 4 and he didn’t know that my career was T-Mobile.
    Long story short, I restored to 4.2.1 BB 3.10.1 and it’s been sitting on my desk for a couple of months – now that there is greenpois0n rc5 – will I be able to jb then unlock with a legitimate sim? or do i need to use an at&t sim to even see my springboard?
