Guys what activation method you used before doing the HW UNLOCK?

I used Jon Lech Johansen’s Phone Activation Server

oh damn, i didnt read anywhere abt someone having a problem. I guess i'll restore the phone and start over. thanks

Yes file was unloaded & monved

Any luck? I have had the same issue. I activated via iNdependence before the hack and restored after the hack. Activated again with iNdependence and I got a Missmatch ICCID warning.

I removed the comcenter plist and restarted before the process. I added the plist back after.

The whole unlockprocess went perfect with zero glitches aside from losing sound (That came back after the restore though)... idunno.

patch lockdownd instead of activating. I had the same prob and that worked for me.

Not very comforting

everyone that has this problem, did you guys pull up the metal part that holds the shield on by the connector for the power switch?

im wondering if there isnt a ground tab that gets damaged.

While it did work perfectly, I still have no service.
