I bought a StealthSIM SE to use with an iPhone 3G that I bought from Rogers (Canada).

I'm in Brazil trying to use it with carrier TIM (Brazil) wihout success. When I try to use Stealthsim SE with another sim from other local carrier (Claro/Br) it works fine.

So, using a TIM/Br sim card + iPhone 3G (Rogers locked) + Stealthsim SE doesn't work, I only get a 'No SIM' error message.

When trying a Claro/Br sim card + iPhone 3G (Rogers locked) + Stealthsim SE it works fine.

I found out that Claro-br bundle is already build-in in iPhone 3G:

iPhone:/System/Library/Carrier Bundles root# ls -l /System/Library/Carrier\ Bundles/72405
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15 Jul 16 20:41 /System/Library/Carrier\ Bundles/72405 -> Claro_br.bundle/

That's probably why it's working fine with Claro.

I then renamed Claro's bundle directory and tryed its sim card once again, this time I got the 'No SIM' error, which confirms that I really need the bundle installed.

I then built a custom bundle for TIM-br using volkspost's PHP site with MCC/MNC from TiM (72402) without success.

I also tried building the bundle from scratch using Claro's one and changing MCC/MNC and carriername/apn/etc.. No luck either.

Did anyone got Stealthsim SE working with a carrier with a custom bundle? Any step that I might have missed?

Thanks

Just saw your post here.
I checked with
http://www.flatbatt.co.uk/Unlocking/...ork_codes.html
and found
724 03,02,04 = TIM Celular - Brazil

Are you sure TIM using 72402?

Give this one a try. I have prepared a special custom carrier bundle for TIM brazil taht has all the the MCC/MNC inside. You can download it here
http://www.volkspost.info/TIM_br_custom.bundle.zip
from my site and unzip it

SFTP into your iPhone and delete the old Tim carrier bundle. Then look for the symlink 72402 and delete this one aswell.

Then copy the unzipped bundle into Carrier Bundles

Start SSH session then and create the three symlinks

ssh -l root 192.168.1.230 (replace IP with your iPhone's IP)

cd /System/Library/Carrier\ Bundles

ln -s TIM_br_custom.bundle 72402
ln -s TIM_br_custom.bundle 72403
ln -s TIM_br_custom.bundle 72404

Restart the iphone then and keep your fingers crossed. Let me know if this helps

Thanks a lot volkspost.

I'm sure my TIM chip is using 72402 cause I checked with my 2G iPhone + TIM sim using code '*3001#12345#*'. But I had created all the three (72402, 72403 & 72404) anyway.

I tried the custom TIM bundle your created, same error ("No SIM"). Then I tried the Claro-BR sim card once again, this time it did not work either. So I think I might have screwed up something else.

I'll restore the firmware to apple's default and re-do everything to get to the same state I was before and then try your custom bundle from a fresh clean installation.

I'll let you know as soon as I'm done. And thanks a lot for the help!

Yea. But maybe it's just not working. There are so many threads here about *sim stuff.
Keep my fingers crossed

I noticed today that the SIM card from TIM that I was using had a different circuit layout than Roger's and Claro-BR's.

Since I had a very old 64k SIM card I went today to a store and bought a new 128k. I noticed the circuit layout on the SIM card of this new one was similar with Rogers and Claro.

When I tried the new SIM card from TIM everything worked. So basically the custom bundle is working perfectly. The problem was that the StealthSIM SE was not properly align with my old SIM card.

Fortunately the new SIM cards are working fine.

At first glance I can use 3G, SMS, voice, etc. I'll see how it behaves in the long term and keep the forum posted.

Thank for all the help.

If possible, please continue to report your findings (just state clearly if you are a reseller or not a reseller of these SIM solutions) to the thread:

http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=48433

We need at least 5 days of functioning, particularly 3G, if you can report as we go along that would be good.

I am also testing StealthSim at the moment.

OK, just added some information there, if you'd like some log files I'd be happy to send.

Azambuja,

Which carriers have you tested? Is everything ok with 3G and Edge navigation?

I'm also in Brazil, but living in Minas Gerais. I'm looking to try Stealth and also Universal-SIM.

I tested with TIM/Claro and, as long as I could get a signal, 3G and Edge was working fine. The 3G iPhone already has native bundle for Claro & Vivo, I had to build a custom one for TIM.

I don't know how is the coverage of the 3G network in Minas Gerais tough.

ANyway, if you're gonna buy Stealthsim, make sure it's StealthSIM SE. The old version doesn't work with 3G iPhone. And be warned that the signal is not stable at all.

From my experience I'd recommend waiting for the Dev Team unleash the software unlock. Or you can try using a legit iPhone from Claro & Vivo when they make it available.

Cool thanks for posting. It's okay, no need for the log files for now.
