  • Hi,

    Thanks Saad for the efforts to put up these tutorials, i really appreciate your hard work.
    But i have a question to make;

    I was reading one of your recent blog post here http://www.sizlopedia.com/2009/10/19/hacktivate... and there you said we have to follow from instruction 3 to unlock 3gs, but here on this post at the end you said "And the method is not recommended to unlock an iPhone 3GS.", please make it clear as i have done the upgrading thing and now stuck with on how to unlock it, i'm on 3.1.2 now !

    waiting for your reply

    Cheers
