Repair Different SIM Detected on Emergency Mode After your iPhone 4/3GS/3G Jailbreak

As yet thousands of iPhone users have jailbreaked their iDevice with simplest & east ever userland jailbreak, JailbreakMe. It was fairly surprising to know that JailbreakMe was using bug in Safari browser for rendering PDF files. We all know it is just matter of time that Apple will issue a fix to block the jailbreakme very soon.

However the clever trick of using Phonebook SIM card to activate iPhone seems to have ended, as per Hashim Sherif recent tweets, Apple has got the way to block phonebook sim card trick which used to work, they fixed by hooking the activation wildcard ticket to the ICCID of the used sim.

This wasn’t the case two days ago & that’s why those who used Phonebook test sim card method recently got the “Different SIM Detected” message on emergency mode screen. You can still jailbreak and unlock with phonebook SIM card method but will not be able to use carrier sim as it will revert back.

Well here is nifty workaround to fix different sim detected on your iPhone 4, 3GS & 3G after jailbreaking with jailbreakme.
