Turbo SIM working with downgraded 1.1.1
Sun, Oct 7, 2007
I was pretty sure this would be possible, but reports about this working out there are sketchy at best so I wanted to put it to the test. Since I now have a test iPhone to break before selling it on, I upgraded it to 1.1.1 to dump the filesystem over the past few days. I also got to test to see if the upgraded modem baseband firmware would still work with a TurboSIM. To test, I downgraded from 1.1.1 to 1.02 - the modem firmware obviously remains intact from 1.1.1. Everything works as before with baseband version 03.14.08_G. I was half expecting to maybe run into some issues with Applesaft, as 04.01.13_G reads the at&t IMSI three times as opposed to one, but all seems fine.

I am currently using TurboSim on my iPhone in Canada with 1.0.2 version and everything is flawless. Anyways I just wanted to ask you if I would be able to just upgrade to 1.1.1? Will my phone service still work?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Jason Declan here from Cappoquin
I am going to the states soon and I am wondering Should I buy an Iphone for myself
while I am there??? I am into all this high techie stuff and have been looking at the Iphone for a while.I am just wondering is it worth all the hastle at the end of the day.
They say it works on the O2 network — Will it work on the Vodafone network.I am looking at an Ipod anyway and this is in this along with Photos as well .So if I am going to spend 150 - 200 on an Ipod why not put in the few extra quid and get the
I phone ??? What do you think??? would appreciate your advice ?
Gratefully

Hi Jason, My son is looking for an iphone for xmas. I am not a hi-tec person so i was wondering if the phone can be unlocked to work on the o2 network in ireland and is it easy to unlock it for yourself ? Dont want to waste time and money buying it to find out it cant be done.

@Darren
Assuming you purchase an iPhone right now (so that it will have 1.1.1 installed - 1.1.2 units will start arriving next week) it’s a very easy process to unlock and activate now. The entire process can be done on the iPhone itself without the need for even using a computer.
@Declan
This is one gadget I have no trouble recommending to anyone - it’s the best gadget I’ve ever owned. It will work on any GSM network, including Vodafone.

@Niamh,
With installer.app, install the iWorld package - run it and select Ireland.
