@ tumababa,

Friend,

I was going through your post, I realized I exactly did what you mentioned in your point 3 embarassed
3. For those using iphone 4 with gevey/rebel chip inside,DO NOT UPDATE/RESTORE YET,even if u dont av the app called cydia. This is because once u upgrade to ios 5 directly, d chip will not work again (for life) because of d added security on the baseband of ios 5. U just need to wait for a full jailbreak on ios 5 before u upgrade while preserving the baseband that works with the chip (Its tricky but if u are patient, u will bypass d security).

I have an iPhone 4 unlocked with Geavey chip. Also had Cydia app. It had iOS 4.3 Mistakenly I pressed the iOS 5 upgrade while connected to itunes on my laptop.
Now as you explained after baseband upgrade my iPhone is now completely dead.. Not even powering on. Not responding to any connection.

Is there any solution to restore back the old OS?? Or anything else so that I can use it

If possible please let me know & I know you won't repair my iPhone for free wink

Not powering up? Is there any response in itunes when u connect the dead fone to itunes? Does it say iphone is in recovery mode? If yes, just try to click on restore again. Ur iphone has been upgraded to ios 5 already. So theres no harm in restoring again.
Also i hope u know and av d official sim of d fone cos u will need it to activate with d sim.
Lastly, since u are upgrading to 5.1, forget about jailbreaking for now

Lol so its shame to them now? Na wa for una o. The truth is many will still buy the chip that's if no update is made to SAM because currently it is still working with just a sim.
Re: IOS 5/IOS 6/IOS 7 Update: Warning To All IPhone/IPad Users! by RichDad1(m): 8:29am On Apr 23, 2012
@suntemi,
Like Tumababa rightly said why do they have to wait till SAM is available before taking pre-orders? They already have the unlock but decided to hold it back because apple is paying them for it..Bunch of liars.Anyways God don catch them(they never saw this coming) cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy
Also as for SAM getting updated or Apple blocking the loopholes i guess that will be on another IOS,so anyone using the method now should just refrain from any update from apple but trust me those guys @ iclarified are not sleep either

It works with a sim at a time. Meaning if u plan to change sim, u just do d Sam process again. Again y would u be changing sim anyhow? I like d unlock cos it treats d sim as if the fine is locked to it. U av everything working from FaceTime to iMessage (using ur phone numbers) etc...

As many that use SAM to unlock, download the new redsn0w0.9.10.b8 to backup your PRICELESS activation tickets.
Apple is in hot-soup till higher iOS update, probably iOS6!!!

You will not believe this, I did a stock restore after the SAM thing then my iPhone was activated without having to jailbreak the Phone. The sim works in it like it's Factory Unlocked.
