Hi!
I updated my 3GS iPhone to 3.1 via iTunes. It is stuck on "Connect to iTunes" screen on iTunes 8.2 when I plug it into my computer.

Is it possible to jailbreak it now with the new PwnageTool? Can I unlock afterward to use on Tmobile?

Thank you!

You should be able to JB fine but your unlock capability is toast for now. If it has a picture of the USB cable to iTunes you may be in DFU mode. So if you have your custom firmware made with pwnage tool then connect the phone start iTunes and hold down option key and click restore. Then browse to your custom ispw file. I'm assuming you know the rest of steps.

Thanks Ipheuria!

I'm in Hong Kong right now and they said they can replace the IC card so it becomes SIM free; do you know if this is possible?

Search the forums there was a thread with info on getting the carrier update without updating your firmware. The carrier update wont do anything to the phone it is just an update to activate certain things on your carrier ie. SMS, etc. however I've read a thread users on 3.0 when they tried to do the carrier update they were required to install 3.1 which would update your baseband. You can cancel the carrier update I had for months when it was available here. So do a search and find the thread with the info. You are currently JB which firmware? if you're 3.1 JB then I doubt the carrier update will ask you to update the firmware, although you might wan to wait until someone confirms.

Erftina I have no idea about that SIM free thing because I've never needed anything like that. So are you JB now?

Thank you Ipheuria!
I'm not yet JB. I'm wondering if I should trust the shop to unlock it for me.
Asking around to see if anyone knows about the IC card thing.

I was just talking to a friend about this and that is exactly what we came up with. Your phone must still be unlocked otherwise it wouldn't accept your SIM. So once you JB it might open up the phone and in the worst case scenario you have to redo the unlock which is pretty quick anyway. Did you try rebooting the phone since you got to the emergency screen? does it have any prompt like fill in a passcode or put in a SIM? you may have to get the AT&T SIM like I was suggesting. It's worth a shot.

No it did not prompt me for pass code what you said for SIM (I think), i

was busy at work..but i will let u know, will do it together some time soon...this week...and will update here for others...

i try rebooting it but it stop at USB & Itunes screen because Itunes/Restoring wipe out all programs..so from here it need to install file ipsw...3.1.2..new one...thats what i think...

But i dont have AT&T SIM..!!!!!!!!!

What is worse case scenarios..Ipheuria...?

Just jailbroken. Did not find any problem while jailbreaking. Hope any new problem would not arise. Is anything necessary to do after jailbreaking?
