[1.1.2 OTB] Trouble with AnySim 1.2.1u after H/W Unlock

[.:max:.]

I have some trouble with unlocking my 1.1.2 Otb. After doing the whole Hardware thing I restored to 1.1.1, activated it, used Oktoporep, updated to 1.1.2, jailbreaked via Jailbreak.com and then tried to unlock with AnySim 1.2.1u, all according to the instructions on www.hackthatphone.com. After on my first attempt AnySim said all went good and my phone is now unlocked, but my Sims (T-Mobile Germany and T-Mobile Austria) were both still recognized as Locked Sims. So I did the whole procedure again, but then AnySim said "cannot unlock". Third attempt brought the same result.
Do you have any Ideas what went wrong?

Thank for the help!

Btw: H/W part went good without any major damage. Used an old creditcard.

did u try installing iworld? just an idea. also did you run anysim while ur phone was in airplane mode?

[.:max:.]

Airplane mode was on and I tried iWorld, after it still said "locked sim", but it didn't change anything.
In the meantime I tried the whole procedure a fourth time, but nothing happend.
Do I need some kind of virginizer? And where can I see, if it is still Bootloader 3.9, just to make sure?

you should install anysim (not 1.2.1u) whilst your iPhone is on version 1.1.1. after you upgrade to firmware version 1.1.2, you should have cellular signal!

(edit: i meant to say, give this a try, as i have noticed this does indeed work somethings).

I had a week 51 iPhone. The H/W unlock told me to restore to 1.1.2 and then to 1.1.1, I did that and after trying to use anySIM 1.2u several times unsuccessfully I restored my phone back to 1.1.1 ran the virginizer tool for baseband found in the "unlock" section in installer. After that I was able to use the reliable and more stable anySIM 1.2 and then I left my phone at 1.1.1, and I don't plan on updating until after the SDK is released if the possibility of a 1.1.3/1.1.4 unlock arrives.

thanx for your try ericjarvies, but it didn't work (still "can't unlock").
I'll try now this virginizer thing and report results later.

in order to try the virignizig thing i restored to 1.1.1 but now ibricker won't recognize my iphone... any ideas why or alternatives to ibricker? used 0.91...

[.:max:.]

ibricker problem solved by restarting my pc ;) now trying the virginizer

[.:max:.]

Used the virginizer, restored to 1.1.1 as recommended, jailbreaked via i.unlock.no,
installed and used AnySim 1.2, but still no sucess :mad: Always tells me "Locked Sim".

Where can I see which bootlaoder i have. Just to make sure the HW part went right?

Any further ideas :confused: I really want that to work

i dont sure , but if you get a messange saying "locked sim" i think is something about the PIN or PUK code that used if you lose you sim that anybody can access the data on it , maybe you have that active and need put the pin code to the phone , i don't if this is your case, is just a idea

[drg]

Are you sure you don't have a SIM PIN? I think the message for a network lock is different...

I think E0x is right !

add this http://www.trejan.com/irepo to your installer sources then install "bb info" located in the utilities category. I'm stuck at the same point, as I finally completed the HW unlock cut fingers and every imaginable kussword included. But for some reason after anysim does it's thing it tells me anysim can not unlock this phone and I need to reboot. I remember having the same problem with my otb 1.1.1 when I first tried to unlock it back then.(well not to far back):)

[.:max:.]

oh my god i'm such an idiot... i really just forgot to turn the pin off... thanks everybody for you help!!!

@ thms7722: try the virginizer method explained above... it worked for me to get a positiv ending with anysim. you just restore to 1.1.1, jailbreak, install bsd subsystem, install "The Virginizer" from Unlocking Tools in the installer, restore to 1.1.1 again like recommended and use anysim 1.2. i hope this helps

[thms7722]

Done!!! My problem was with the firmware I think. I installed oktprep upgraded to 1.1.2 turned airplane mode on and ran anysim112u and viola! I think what I was unaware of is during the whole process of downgrading this.... erasing that..... uploading this...... flashing that.......touching this to that....... I failed to realize that the firmware is never changed. So I had the hardware of a 1.1.1 but the firmware of a 1.1.2. I'm not sure though so don't quote me on this :D
