And I seriously put blood into this one. Cut my damn thumb opening the case.

Thank you for all your help everyone.

Well i broke a knife and now have a scratched and too big case - will get some replacement parts when their are available. Also removed more than necessary and had trouble to get all the internal connectors back to work but it works now. However the trace and solder points are too small for me - ill leave it to some friends of mine or wait for the software unlock

I used guitar picks to open the phone and used the needle method for unlocking.

I can't get this damn antenna cover back on, lol.

did u do connect the 2 points by hand or with something like this ?

or that

I bought exactly that but ended up not using it except for the magnifying glass to scrape the trace just a bit before poking it.

I actually did it with one hand, lol. I wouldn't recommend it but once I had the first needle on the trace, I'd put the other on the 1.8V end then hold both with one hand and press Enter. It was very tricky

Is there any way to copy SIM contacts over to the iPhone?
