surely that is only good for those people with an iPhone. I recognise those as iPhone Turbosim programming instructions.

My Turbosim didn't have applesaft preinstalled and I thought that applesaft is the program that will read IMIS and KI? info from original SIM (USIM in my case) and write to turbosim after which I will just attach this turbosim with my AT&T/T-Mobile SIM. Unless there's a different program that I need to use

I am still having problem with my 904sh not recognizing the tubosim + AT&T Sim combo, but someone from here suggests that I should try to do a hard reset - that works for him with his PSS SIM.

I will report back tonight...

My mistake - I read the instructions but didn't read them carefully enough, those instructions aren't iPhone specific. rather, it just mentions an mPhone which is whatever phone you're using or something.

Sorry to confuse you

Problem is... and this is why pss/hyper isnt more hacked... Softbank USIM is too hard to read KI. Most readers including turbosim tools can't read KI without some *hacking* on ingenuity (spelling).

Should I forget about using TurboSIM and shell out another $120 for PSS/Hyper SIM then?

I probably won't be using my 904sh as a primary phone as I needed 850mhz freq more than anything, but it's the thought of being able to use it just a day will defenitly worth all the trouble that I have to go though...

I am sure prices for pss or hyper will come down over the next few weeks. Perhaps wait a little bit and see.

^ good thinking. Gotta let the hype calm a bit first.

But one thing, whats the difference between turbo/hyper/pss-sim? would be great if someone can provide some help, thanks



Posted by: Junglizt1210

turbo sim is the most expensive, but also the most flexible.

im not sure what the difference between the last 2 are though.

flexible as in...being able to bend well? jokes aside...

I remember Kev saying the PSS SIM is the original one, while the hyper sim is just a rebrand or copy of it. TurboSIM was the one that was designed to bypass the iPhone's lock mechanism.

so turbosim has nothing to do with the 904.

Apparently they're trying to use it with the 904, but I don't know what the results are. Nonetheless it's the PSS SIM that everyone is talking about.

I am pretty sure if you have an iphone turbosim.. you will have to buy a hyper or pss for the 904sh.

Reprogramming would involve buying tools that most of us don't have the knowledge to use or patience to figure out. For the time and cost of tools, you may as well just buy another PSS or hyper; unless you plan to resell them in bulk. Either way, you're looking at more money and time than just simply buying a new one.

It doesn't work! LOL.

I was able to install applesaft on my blank turbosim and copy IMSI and ICCID? from vodafone USIM card to turbosim. Kevbodian stated in this thread that turbosim can't properly read USIM KI information and that's why after boot I still see 'USIM-MEP' message on the screen.

Could it be that applesaft read and write only IMSI and ICCID?

I guess with PSS/HYPER SIM/Non-TurboSIM solution, they actaully write IMSI, ICCID? and KI to their SIM card which all you have to do is to cut/notch your current SIM card, attach and insert into your 904sh.

I thought that I can use turbosim to write different IMSI, ICCID? and KI combination whenever I want to swith to a different 'exotic' phone. As with PSS and Hyper SIM, I think you'll need to buy a new SIM for each IMSI, ICCID? and KI combo. Unless they will publish their own software so you can write your own IIK combo.

It's not just the IIK combo... I believe the phone and network have different calls to IIK and the phone gets info from PSS and the network gets info passed through the PSS from the local sim. This is probably what that IC is for on the PSS/Hypersim body.
