I'm about to get a 3GS that already has iOS 4 here in the States. It's not unlocked. What steps would I have to take to make work back in Europe?

why bother, just buy one when you're back in the states.

wait a week or so for the jailbreak then jailbreak it

wait for your solution and then apply said solution.

You're buying it at the store? or from someone? right now, only older 3Gs models (old bootrom) already previously jailbroken (excluding spirit) can have JB/UL iOS 4. If you're buying from the store there's no solution at the moment, altough I'm pretty sure it's on the way.

Buy one in the states and one in europe, then you have twice as much respect

Apparently there is no jailbreak for iOS 4 yet

Here we go. I'm thinking of buying a 16GB 3GS here in the States for $200 from a friend and taking it back to Europe where I live most of the time. It's in mint condition etc. Never had an iPhone, so I'm trying to find out if I'd have any problems unlocking it. Cheers, you bastards :)

It might need to be unlocked in the US (at least legally), where I live there are plenty of places who offer a no questions asked handset unlocking service for a fee.

needs more info to satisfy your request.
The deal is, iOS 4 was released monday. The same day, the Dev-Team (jailbreak ninja crew) released a jailbreak and unlock for the iPhone 3G / iPod Touch 2G. Yesterday, they released the jailbreak and unlock for 3Gs that was already jailbroken (excluding the 3.1.3 Spirit JL). So even if your device is not on the safe list yet, I'm sure it will be very soon. How soon? I don't know. that's a risk you're taking.

I just heard you can't have a background anymore once you update the 3g,
I like my bg,
anyone can tell me exactly what the update do ( to a 3G off course)

I won't be using it as a phone for at least two months. I'm guessing there will be jailbraking possibilities by then.

maybe it will, maybe it won't. There was people stuck on 3.1.3 since january that only got a solution this week...

At least I could use it as iPod Touch :)

I followed all the steps, got everything done and when I tried to restore n iTunes, I keep getting an error message...
'Unknown error (1604)' Has anyone else experience this?
