Hi,
I have an Iphone 3G 8GB that was bought in the US (I'm in the UK).
When the phone was bought it was bought 2nd hand and was unlocked and JB'd
That was a couple of years ago.
I have since bought a 3GS and now a 4S, but my 4 year old son has the 3G.
Today he managed to get into the settings section on the phone (which was hidden using SBsettings), went to General, Passcode, then set a passcode. Obviously, he doesn't know the passcode .
The main problem is the home button doesn't work. We have been using a little program (forget the name now) purchased through cydia to exit programs with a swipe on the base of the screen.
As I have no home button, I'm not able to put the phone into DFU mode.
I've retored the phone via Itunes (I panicked and had to do something as the boy was crying his eyes out).
I thought at least if I got a working phone, as least he'd have the basics (no mario themes etc)
I think it's installed the latest firmware and has hopefully got rid of the passcode, but I'm not certain as it's asking me to put in a SIM card to activate it.
I've tried my O2 card from my 3GS, but of course it's not recognised as it's the wrong carrier.
This is when I remembered it was unlocked (even though he doesn't have a sim card installed and just uses it like an Itouch i.e just for games.
The main problem is the fact the HOME button doesn't work I suppose.
Does anyone have any advice??
Cheers
