iTunes (SIM Card Not Supported)

Steps to Fix SAM: SIM Card Not Does Not Appear to be Supported Error

  1. Navigate to Settings » General » About and look for your MODEL number. In this case, i have iPhone 4 with model number MC608LL and its unlocked using Gevey SIM.
    2. iPhone 4 (Model Number)
  2. Now you need to do little Googling and find out the official carrier to which your iPhone is locked to. In this case, my iPhone 4 is locked at AT&T (United States)
  3. I am assuming that you have already installed SAM on your iPhone. If not then addhttp://repo.bingner.com repo to Cydia and install SAM on your iPhone. Once installed, navigate to Settings » SAM » Utilities and tap on Revert Lockdown to Stock button. You will see Stockification Success message. If you see Stockification Failure message then it means you have not installed correct version of SAM on your iPhone.
    4. Stockification Success
  4. Now tap on the SAM button on the top-right and then tap on the Method menu. From the list, choose By Bundle Name option.
    5. SAM (Bundle Name)
  5. Now again hit the SAM option on the top-right and then tap on the Bundle menu. In this case, i will be choosing ATT_US as my iPhone is locked to AT&T.
    6. SAM (Choose Carrier)
  6. Similarly navigate to SIM ID menu and choose your SIM ID. If you do not know SIM ID, just choose the first option.
    7. SAM (SIM ID)
  7. Once your Method, Bundle and SIM ID has been correctly configured, tap on More Information menu. You will see ActivationState as Unactivated. Connect your iPhone to your PC or Mac via USB cable and start iTunes.
    8. SAM (Unactivated)
  8. Now iTunes will generate legitimate activation packets for your iPhone. Make sure your PC or Mac is connected to an active internet connection because iTunes will try to authenticate your info with Apple servers. Once done, you will see your ActivationState as WildcardActivated.
    9. SAM (WildcardActivated)
  9. Thats it! Now your iPhone is officially activated. This will not only provide you with an improved battery life but will also enable fully working Push Notifications on your iPhone. You can check your Push Notifications using iPusher app. If for some reason, Push Notifications are not working, use this guide to fix them.

    Every single site says with great vagueness "maybe you have the wrong version of SAM" well would someone tell me what version is the "right" version and where do it get it if the cydia source keeps giving me the wrong one and i keep getting the stockify error...

THE TRUE HISTORY OF THE IPHONE JAILBREAK (all noobs please read)

When he was 17,  George Hotz  poured hundreds of hours of his summer vacation into a special project: learning the iPhone’s secrets [working with the  Dev-Team ]. His unpaid labor eventually paid off. With the help of a soldering iron, he was the first to unlock the iPhone [publicly, and against the agreement made with the  Dev-Team ] delivering the handset to international networks before Apple had a chance to. He got some perks, too. His unlock catapulted him to internet stardom, catching the eye of an entrepreneur who traded his Nissan 350Z car for Hotz’s restriction-free iPhone. Hotz, now 20, makes a living as a “hacker for hire” of sorts — getting paid to break into different types of gadgets. He gets to spend his free time unofficially attending a college [Google University], where he pretends to be a student just to socialize.  What’s best, Hotz didn’t think unlocking the iPhone was even hard. “It did take 500 hours, but thinking back to some of the stuff I’ve done now, the
