I bought this phone from Craigslist and i got jailbreak on it and ran the anysim with my t-mo sim. When i restart is gives me an error "DIFFERENT SIM DETECTED" I'm running firmware 1.11 and i don't have the orginal sim card. Do you think this is because this phone was activated already?

Thanks

i had the exact same problem. Here is what you have to do. You first have to restore the phone in itunes. Then once you restored, jailbreak and activate the phone then run ONE SIM. Then after you run one sim u should be able to run anysim sucessfully and you won't get that message anymore. Like I said I had the same problem and it was a headache. but someone on here recommended I use one sim and It worked great.

It sounds like your going to have a hard time. But check the stickies they explain everything.you can also download onesim from the sticky. Just make sure you follow all the steps. You also need to install ssh to install onesim. I think there is a post on page two of the one sim sticky that tells you how to install it.

Hi I seem to have the same problem as you guys but the steps that you've outlined don't seem to work for me. Here is what I did:

1. I had a brand new 1.1.1 iphone
2. I used jailbreak.com to jailbreak it which also installed the installer on the phone as well as the community sources
3. I added the BSD Subsystem via the installer
4. I added the unlocking tools to the Installer sources from http://i.unlock.no which gave me the AnySIM 1.1 and OneSIM 1.1
5. I did all of the above while I had my ATT SIM in the phone.
6. I replaced the SIM with a T-Mobile SIM card and restarted the phone. I got an error that the SIM is not valid but I was allowed to proceed
7. I didn't see a "NO SERVICE" text but rather 1 small bar with no provider info
8. I ran AnySIM and it completed the process with success. However the T-Mobile card was still not recognized.
9. I restarted the phone and I got the "Different SIM detected" message.
10. I put the old ATT sim in the phone after and restarted the phone.
11. Based on the instructions on this thread I restored the phone to the 1.1.1 firmware
12. I followed steps 2-5 again.
13. I use OneSIM with my ATT SIM in the phone and it completed with success.
14. I replaced the SIM with my T-Mobile SIM and again I didn't see a "NO SERVICE" text but rather 1 small bar with no provider info.
15. I ran AnySIM again which completed with success but yet the T-Mobile SIM is still not recognized and I am back to step 9.

Any ideas, can you detail the steps that followed? Did I miss something?

Thx

One correcttion to the above is that although my phone has firmware 1.1.1 now, it was an upgrade from 1.0.2, so it's not a "new" 1.1.1 phone but rather a 1.0.2 phone which was upgraded to 1.1.1.

Has anyone been able to unlock the same type of phone that I have?

Thx

Hi Duduk,

There has been many succesful unlocks of the exact same type of unit you have - I should be able to help you out if you haven't figured it out by now. PM me if you still need assistance and I'll forward you my contacts.
