[F.A.Q.] Subscriber Artificial Module (SAM) - doing the “right” activation of unofficial iPhone 3G / 3GS
What is activation?
If someone does not know, activation is carried out at the first launch of the newly purchased iPhone by connecting it with a native cable to the computer and launching iTunes. Also, this operation may be required after updating the firmware. When activated, the iPhone must have a SIM card inserted. Without activation, your iPhone can only make a Emergence Call emergency call.

I bring to your attention a solution on the activation of a locked iPhone in the absence of a SIM card of a native operator (lost, it is unknown who is locked, the devil knows how to get a ZimbabweGSM card)!
I haven’t come across a detailed description in runet, and the method with searching tables of serials and self-compiling IMSI often fails. This solution is almost universal.
If you live in a fairly large city, the cost of solving your problem is from 12 to 20 dollars.
I will share my method. You will need a so-called multisym card. I used MagicSim SuperSim 16 in 1 (possible 12 in 1, the essence does not change), bought it with a programmer for $ 20 (our bargega for activation and unlock 3.1.3 take 15-25 bucks).
Now we put the driver for programming multisymbol and its native software. Run the software, Make Connect, then Magic. The bottom line is that you need to do manual entry of IMSI and Ki.
Now we drive in the following parameters:
IMSI: 080920102143658709

ICCID: 8949000312151000014F

KI: 2859440E87D928A675594A67540E87D9

The name can be arbitrary, say Unl, SGSM - 1
Parameters successfully driven in, click OK and Disconnect. We take out the multisymbol from the programmer and insert it into the iPhone. Then we connect to the Tuna - and voila, activation went. Well, after activation, you can already use Spirit.
The advantage of such SIM cards is that it allows you to activate any iPhone, no matter on which operator he is locked, these parameters are universal and reprogramming of SIM cards is required. Even if you have iOS4 - at least you will be able to use your phone as a player to Ceyla exit. But paying a 1 time for a sim card, you will always be at hand means activate any iPhone, and you will be able to help not only themselves, but also friends. Checked personally have 9 different iPhone 3G and 3Gs, activates a bang.

P.S. If you didn’t manage to find such a multisym map as I described, that’s okay. You can also use other multisyme cards, the main thing is that their software allows you to manually enter IMSI and Ki. If it is difficult, unsubscribe here, we will understand together and try to supplement this description with instructions for other multisymbols.

It is possible and without sim ki native operator:
did so with a locked iPhone 2g
1) we are stitching
2) unlock this firmware
3) we insert any sim card and are activated

Mowchik,
And by the way, it makes sense to do the activation without unlock? (if the body is locked)?

DimaN-KoloboK,
if a hopeless situation .. it can be used as an iphone as a player ... it’s still better than a brick

For example, in 3GS you will not jailbreak 3.1.3 until you activate the device.

Yes, at least it will be a plus for those who live in the tundra, but have cellular shops near by and do not have the option to find a native sim!

Well, then another thing) My apologies)

I tried on the American 3GS, with the help of silvercart, did not work.

Because "universal" codes may not be universal at all ...

Pufender , and the operator is known? And by the way, when entering ICCID: 8949000312151000014F you need to fold the last F - this is important. Indicate your number from the box - I will try to determine the origin of the device by it.
Multi-SIM.Ru I do not pretend to be absolutely 100% solution. I personally shot 10 iPhones from different countries with this code. Plus 2 confirmations are on the forum. Personally, I had 3 Americans. Another thing is that AT & T can be different ... However, a person has already bought a multisymbol, and I think that by joint efforts we will help him to program it correctly. As an alternative, the other day I will try to lay out a competent FAQ on how to independently calculate IMSI, depending on the operator.

AT & T operator of course. And where to enter ICCID? silver asks only imsi and ki for me, is configured via the interface right in the Sim-Emu 6.1s phone. maybe because of ICCID it doesn’t plow, I just don’t have a programmer, and I’lln’t be able to configure it via the phone.

I would delete 2G from the topic name !!! Because they are unlocked only by the SIM that came with it (i.e. with a certain number, iTunes will write to you, insert a SIM with the proper number or something like that)!

Friends, there is someone from Peter with a similar sim card. I got an American 3 jis with a lace on the screen, it requires activation.

This method works on iphone 2G too!

Today, the 3Gs pulled an American, ATiT, withdrew without problems. Perhaps, really, not any SIM card is suitable. Maybe you should read the forums on silvercard, how to drive advanced parameters into them?

And what was the firmware?
On 3GS with 4.0.1 does this work?

2 Mowchik

And with the help of which sims it turned out?

Insert any sim card in your non-activated, zalochenny on the iPhone operator and connect it to iTunes. The program will tell you that "your SIM-card, seems to have no support." Then remove the sim card and insert it into the phone. After the iPhone will try to catch the network (which may not be for this type of SIM-cards), you need to pull the wire out of it. This must be done in a couple of seconds after you insert the Phonebook SIM. Then just turn on the sync cable. All your phone is activated

I will add that the Method works on 3G, 3GS, 4., and the Phonebook SIM can be purchased on any radio market.

A good alternative to multisymbe, except perhaps slightly uncomfortable ...

familiar baryzhit multisyms, if necessary I can help. The price tag as written above 600 re.

Yes, not easier for 300 p. to buy a ready-made universal multi sim from baryg?
