Testing phone test mode, seems to unlock iPhone 3G, don't know if all cards, all countries, etc. Use at your own risk.

Zero-G is new code for iPhone 3G but still in test.

We have reports that some carriers don't come out of "No Service".

We could have done one of two things:

1. Release the early code and let people test and report back.
|_ Advantage = have something quick
|_ Disadvantage = reliability not 100%

2. Hold off and do all the testing ourselves.
|_ Advantage = more reliable in the end
|_ Disadvantage = longer wait for code with limited carrier/country tests

Only time will tell if we chose the right option

Programming is the same as before with applesaft, simply supply the turbo-app utility with the zero-g trb file.
If you have previous code in the TurboSIM, do a turbo-rm-apps first to clear out any old code.

When you see the phone go from "No Service" to "No Signal Bars", this should indicate a Reset is in progress, next it should sync with the carrier, but it might go to "No Service" again and stay there. That is an issue we have seen already. If you have more than one network SIM to try, let us know what successes / failures you experience.

OK will do.

I have plenty of brand new sealed TurboSIMs < www.TurboSIM.com.au >

I have VIRGIN Mobile, TELSTRA, OPTUS, THREE (3) and VODAFONE SIMs

We have three official carriers authorised by Apple for Australia - TELSTRA, OPTUS, and VODAFONE.

Am I to understand that if I have an OPTUS iPhone I should set-up the TurboSIM with the original OPTUS SIM? Then test with the other carriers, both approved, and not approved (such as THREE and VIRGIN)?

Cheers

No, you don't setup the SIM anymore like you did with applesaft, once you've programmed Zero-G in to the TurboSIM, you simply put in the Network SIM you want to use with the TurboSIM into the 3G iPhone and wait for the magic.

thanks in advance

You can program it on a jailbroken 2G iPhone if you have one.

Okay, here are some results so far:

The UK official Carrier for iPhone is O2, so we know they all work, even if they are PAYG and not Contract SIMs.

VodaFone - Worked
Tesco - Worked
Virgin - Worked
T-Mobile - Stuck at No Service
Orange - Stuck at No Service

VodaFone: When booting up a Vodafone SIM, the carrier sync's sometimes before the refresh popup. The popup resets the SIM and service comes back.

Virgin: When booting up a Virgin SIM, it took a while but went through the same motions as VodaFone. Ironically Virgin piggy-backs the T-Mobile network in the UK but the Virgin SIM worked where as the T-Mobile SIM didnt get any service!?!? The carrier stays as T-Mobile with the Virgin SIM in.

Orange: When booting up an Orange SIM, a voicemail alert came through almost straight away whilst the status was still No Service. After the popup reset, it cleared the voicemail flag but stayed at No Service.

T-Mobile: When booting up a T-Mobile SIM, it goes to No Service, the reset after the popup just takes it back to No Service which is where it stays.

I think you can trust ZF with the source and he will not give it out if asked not to do so. In my opinion most people will be happy just to get the trb files to program themselves.

Let the chinese at least work it out for themselves, the applesaft source just made it too easy for them in the past

I've just picked up one of these and have a few test sims (Ireland, Manx, and UK 3).

Once I have had time to load I will report results too if that helps. I'm with Vodafone for my contracted services however.
