This is weird – I have an iphone 3G and twice during it’s lifetime I’ve used this trick to sort out seemingly impossible situations (where O2 and Apple were proving to be utterly useless and/or unsupportive)…
The first time is a whole different story, but the second time is relevant to this thread and occured when joy of joys I was able to leave O2 and asked for the phone to be unlocked. All went good and they followed on with their unlocked SMS, but when my new Vodaphone sim came and I duly inserted it and hooked it up to iTunes it failed to recongize that the phone was unlocked. After numerous phone calls, banging on desks and promises of elevating my case (whatever that was) I considered whether my my old trick would work…
you see I use a PC and despite running a restore nothind had been resolved, but finding a friend with a Mac and running a restore on their’s produced a successful result – unlocked immediately.
It’s only a hunch, but I bet most of the people who have OS problems with their iPhones are running PC’s. My advice is get a Mac or find someone with one that you can borrow for 10mins and watch all your problems melt away…

I live in one country and work in another so an unlocked iPhone was important. The whole process of jailbreaking and unlocking was a long drawn out affair with a hint of voodoo and an uncertain outcome. I held off upgrading the iPhone for a while as it all worked. Came across the Blackra1n and thought try it one old broken screened iPhone I bought (cheap, but still not replaces the screen) Ran the program, er… thought well that didn’t work, it finished doing whatever it was doing in a few seconds and seem to say that was it. Much to my surprise that was it. from there you run the Blackra1n program now loaded in the iPhone and a couple of things to do there and its all done, jailbroken and unlocked. They must be a drawback……… not found it yet
