solaar Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hi I just unlocked my new iphone to use it with my European SIM. I'm roaming in the US at the moment. After testing several options I've noticed I can't receive SMS. No difference, T-mobile or AT&T. It seems like it sends but no sign of life on the way back. I found a wiki where somebody described a method to supposedly correct this bug with some arcane commands. To be honest, I'm allergic to the command line and even by just copying I wouldn't feel too safe about his method. His instructions are not precise enough for a command line boob like me and assume too much knowledge. Is there anything a bit more user-friendly to get my iphone back in the SMS biz? cheers sol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord7854 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Found this: had the incoming SMS problem and solved after 5 days of studying.Hope this will help all the people who are still stuck in the middle somewhere. "and apologize my bad english too, i am doing my best" Please do the following (MAC) Use Terminal (on yor Machine) 1.) type: ssh root@"your iphone ip" 2.) -> type password (good, please jump to 3) -> WARNING, (middle-man-attack)?... no worries type: rm r /Users/"your_cpu_name"/.ssh/known_host that will give you back your access to your SSH to iphone again type: ssh root@"your iphone ip" now type your password OK? 3.) on Terminal(MAC) 1- launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist 2- bbupdater -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls (not working for some?.. no worries again) [for those bbupdater came up error, please type cd /usr/bin then run this "bbupdater -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls" again OK? 3- bbupdater -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep (if the bbupdater of FLS is working, eep will work too "if you have it in your usr/bin folder" after you see DONE 4- launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist now go back to main screen on your iphone -> phone -> keypad type: *#06# the IMEI should change to something like 004999010640000 and the iPhone will not accept any SIM Yes? If not.. start from 1 again until the IMEI changes and sim card won't load. Now download and run anySIM again. No signal after running anySIM??? go back to MAC-Terminal resign into your SSH iphone type: launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist Restore your iphone using itunes.. wait a little... your signal should be back and be able to accept incoming SMS now. Good luck all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solaar Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Found this: Cheers mate, that's exactly the post I was talking about. Unfortunately those types of instructions always leave me with more questions than answers. I would be most grateful if somebody who has some time on his hand could give me a hand. I'll put my ?? in between the lines. Use Terminal (on yor Machine) 1.) type: ssh root@"your iphone ip" What machine? Computer or iphone? I suppose the computer where the iphone is connected to but when I try this, nothing happens... 2.) -> type password (good, please jump to 3) HUH?? -> WARNING, (middle-man-attack)?... no worries AYE? type: rm r /Users/"your_cpu_name"/.ssh/known_host CPU name? What's that? that will give you back your access to your SSH to iphone What does that mean? Was the access lost in the meantime? again type: ssh root@"your iphone ip" now type your password OK? NO, not ok 3.) on Terminal(MAC) 1- launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist What is this supposed to be doing on my Mac? 2- bbupdater -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls (not working for some?.. no worries again) What exactly is this bbupdater doing to the file? [for those bbupdater came up error, please type cd /usr/bin then run this "bbupdater -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls" again OK? NO, not ok 3- bbupdater -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep (if the bbupdater of FLS is working, eep will work too "if you have it in your usr/bin folder" ICE03.14.08_G.eep - File not found. It's actually nowhere on my Mac nor on the iphone. after you see DONE 4- launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist now go back to main screen on your iphone -> phone -> keypad type: *#06# the IMEI should change to something like 004999010640000 and the iPhone will not accept any SIM No, it doesn't change anything Yes? If not.. start from 1 again until the IMEI changes and sim card won't load. No, the IMEI never changed Now download and run anySIM again. What is anySIM? The program i used is called 'Unlock' No signal after running anySIM??? go back to MAC-Terminal resign into your SSH iphone type: launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist Restore your iphone using itunes.. Restore, in terms of 'download and install the latest firmware'? Won't the whole unlock process be lost again? wait a little... your signal should be back and be able to accept incoming SMS now. Sigh... it would be cool sometimes to be able to read certain tech people's minds. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solaar Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Ha! Sorted it out... I found another Unlock.app somewhere (sorry, don't remember where exactly in my utter confusion and desperation to get this to work). This Unlock had a date stamp of the 13th of september as opposed to the one I used first which was dated on the 12th. However it seems like the two files are different apart from the date stamp. So if somebody else runs into this issue, I would suggest to use the most recent Unlock.app you can find. I started the whole unlock process over from scratch, ran this newer Unlock.app and all is hunky dory. Can send and receive SMS without any further command line hacks. Yah man!!
