first make sure ur push notification is working. To confirm, install ipusher from appstore, launch to test push, if it says ur push works fine, just go to phone settings, and put it on. It shd warn u dat u might be charged for the sms, if u dont get any warning and it just goes to "waiting for activation", then the push neva work.

IF THE PUSH is working, make sure u av up to 15naira (text msg rate to international nos) and activate facetime on phone settings. Also make sure ur phone number is in intl format i.e +234,

I've just upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.0, preserving my baseband at 04.10.01 for Gevey to unlock, I'm using Glo 3G and everything appears to be working. I'm currently playing with iCloud and uploading/downloading data across my iPhone 4 & iPad 2, it's great smiley

A few issues though, I noticed that 'Nigeria' isn't on the list when setting up iMessage and that's just sad, although it looks like it's a mistake as many other countries including 'ghana' and even 'mozambique' are listed, hopefully, someone can tell Apple about this to include 'Nigeria' in a feature update.

I've just restored to 5.0 and I'm still going through stuff, I'll create a guide detailing the steps I used to get Gevey Supreme working on iOS5 (screen shots and all) later.

Again, Do NOT restore to stock 5.0. Both Gevey and UltaSn0w won't help you.

Nerve great to hear that. Soon locked iPhone 4 will be so1d for 25-30k in Computer Village because most of the guyz working there don't even know they need to preserve baseband to get Gevey and ultrasn0w to work with iOS 5. Most don't also know about iFaith. One of them called me this morning telling me Apple have stopped signing 4.3.5, so he want to upgrade with stock iOS 5.  I foresee many iPhone 4 serving just like an iPod Touch very soon. Apple and their wahala. I just hope new gevey comes out soon.

No, they didn't remove it maybe you didn't set the apn under tethering.

Can somebody in a layman's term explain to me how i can upgrade to ios 5 on my iphone 4. I'm using a gevey sim.
Thanks.
Re: IOS 5/IOS 6/IOS 7 Update: Warning To All IPhone/IPad Users! by Suntemi(m): 12:58pm On Oct 13, 2011
Arkhin, you want the explanation in a layman language? Ok let me try.

You have to download a stock iOS 5 firmware, what I mean is you have to download the iOS 5 restore file from Apple then you need to use another tool call sn0wbreeze to prepare a custom firmware from the one you downloaded. It is the custom firmware you prepared with sn0wbreez[/b]e that you will use to upgrade your iPhone 4. It will [b]upgrade your iPhone 4's firmware to iOS 5 but will preserve as in will not ugrade your baseband at the same time. The custom firmware will not act like the main one you download from Apple that will[b] upgrade[/b] your firmware and as the same time[b] upgrade[/b] your basebase. That's mean if your baseband is say 04.10.01[b] before[/b] you upgrade the it[b] must[/b] be 04.10.01 after you upgrade.

Thanks.

if u want to upgrade to ios 5 on ur iphone4 and u are using gevey sim. there is a little clause. if u check ur about page, u will will see d modem firmware. it is either 4.10.01 or lower. That number is what determines if gevey will work or not. Once u upgrade to stock ios5(ie ios directly downloaded from apple), it will upgrade d modem firmware to 4.11.08 which will not (might never) work with the gevey sim. So if u want to upgrade and still want to use d gevey, u av to modify the ios u download from apple using some programs. After cooking the new software, it would av preserved ur modem firmware (also called baseband). So dat is d one u use for the upgrade.

UNFORTUNATELY FOR NOW, if u use dat software, u av a tethetered jailbreak which means anytime u switch off ur iphone4 or battery goes flat, u av to connect to the system, run some programs to boot it up, after that u will now d the process of getting network back (double wahala).

thats y i warn people to wait till d full jailbreak is available before trying all dat. But if u cant wait, u can go ahead. BUT MAKE SURE UR BASEBAND IS PRESERVED.

Thanks a bunch for the reply tumbaba, the modem firmware is 04.10.01, i guess i'll have to wait then.But how can i really preserve the baseband if i want to try?

Tuma, that's is not 100% correct. It depends on the usher, you could preserve an iPhone 4 baseband without jailbreaking the phone if you use sn0wbreeze. See images below. You just need a valid sim to activate after the upgrade. Not everyone jailbreaks

I still don't understand why they aren't any guides covering the baseband prevention, iOS5 upgrade with Gevey. If you can be patient, I'll put together a detailed guide (with screenshots) detailing the steps I took.
