NOTE: (ONLY iPhone 4 Users): This video is for unlockers. The custom firmware used here are ‘hacktivated’ and you will NOT get a service if you use these with official sim cards on your iPhone 4. You will have to use Pwnagetool (MAC) or Snowbreeze (WINDOWS) to make your own custom 4.3.1 firmware and make sure to Uncheck ‘Activate iPhone’ option when you make a custom firmware using pwnagetool or snowbreeze. Then upload that on your iPhone. You will get your reception back on iPhone 4.
