Easier Way to Fix “Different SIM Detected” Error for Jailbroken iPhone
Earlier, I showed you a way to fix the “Different SIM Detected” error after hacktivation with the phonebook sim. That method does resolve the error but it involves quite a lot of manual procedures. Probably, iPhone beginners will find it difficult to follow.
Thanks for PushFix to bring us an easier way to fix the issue. You no longer need to manually copy the Lockdown folder via iPhone Explorer as described in step 5 to 10 of the earlier guide. PushFix has released a cydia package called “Hacktivation Patch” that automatically patches a system file on your iPhone.
Simply install the patch and the “Different SIM Detected” error will vanish. The patch supports iPhone 3G/3GS running iPhone OS 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 4.0 or 4.0.1, as well as, iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0 or 4.0.1.
Here is the complete procedures to apply the fix.
1. After jailbreaking your iPhone with JailbreakMe, insert your phonebook sim card to activate the iPhone.
2. Launch cydia. Tap “Manage” -> “Sources”. Then tap “Edit”, followed by “Add” to add a new repository source.
3. Enter “http://cydia.pushfix.info” for the cydia/APT URL and tap “Add Source”.
4. Tap “Done” and go to “Search” to search for “Hacktivation Patch”.
5. Install the “Hacktivation Patch”.
6. Reboot your iPhone to enable the patch.
That’s it. Once you have rebooted your iPhone, the patch should fix the “Different SIM Detected” error. Let me know if the fix works for you.
